 Their decisions, on behalf of the pharmaceutical cartel, are passed on to the united nations General Assembly, and recommended to become binding law for all member countries of the united nations.
Codex Alimentarius has been leading a vigorous effort to protect the pharmaceutical business from the increasingly popular and effective, safe, non-patentable, natural health supplements. The process has been quite insidious. Dr. Matthias Rath, an outspoken leader in the natural health freedom movement, states:
No one of healthy mind would support a ban on natural health just like that. |

| Codex Alimentarius is a subcommittee of the united nations. Codex is mandated to establish guidelines on food trade issues.2 Any country that is part of the World Health Organization (WHO) is subject to the Codex guidelines and sanctions if they digress.
Consider what happened to the united nations regarding the "food for oil" scandal. Now, consider that the pharmaceutical companies have vast resources (money and power) worldwide. Codex directives are currently seeking to eliminate all vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and most other supplements as free-trade items. |

 One estimate places the amount of agricultural land used and abandoned in the past fifty years as equal to the amount farmed today. The united nations estimates that 38 percent of global cropland has been seriously degraded since the Second World War. Each year farms around the world lose 75 billion metric tons of soil. A 1995 review of the global effects of soil erosion reported the loss of twelve million hectares of arable land each year to soil erosion and land degradation. This would mean that the annual loss of arable land is almost 1 percent of the total available. |

| In 1962, a commission called Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "food code") was established by the World Health Organization and the united nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Its directive was to develop international food standards to protect consumer health and to facilitate fair trading practices in foods. About half its members, however, are directly or indirectly related to the pharmaceutical industry.
The Codex commission now meets every year behind closed doors. Its primary goal is to eliminate natural health supplements from the market. |

 In 1978, the united nations adopted a "Health for All, 2000" resolution, setting goals for eradicating infectious disease by the century's end. But the germs didn't co-operate. Apart from at least 29 previously unknown diseases, 20 well-known ones have re-emerged, including malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, cholera, yellow fever and dysentery. The germs causing the diseases are rapidly mutating to forms beyond the reach of today's antibiotics.
Drugs that once cured malaria are being foiled by the mosquito-borne parasite. Its "changing coat" of mutations baffles scientists. |

| Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) jointly formed the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) in 1963. The intent of the 172 nations originally involved was to create a set of international food standards, guidelines, and codes of practice promoting food safety.
Despite their stated focus on "consumer protection," the Codex Commission approved seven of the most toxic chemical compounds known to man for use as pesticides in the production of foods! |

Meat offers a good proof of the proposition that the health-fulness of a food cannot be divorced from the health of the food chain that produced it—that the health of soil, plant, animal, and eater are all connected, for better or worse. |

 Here's a brief explanation from Wikipedia:
The Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities of the united nations Human Rights Commission,[16] passed two motions[17] the first in 1996[18] and the second in 1997.[19] They listed weapons of mass destruction, or weapons with indiscriminate effect, or of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering and urged all states to curb the production and the spread of such weapons. Included in the list was weaponry containing depleted uranium. Continue reading at Wikipedia... |

 The nutritional quality has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the united nations. Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain. Some varieties of quinoa have more than twenty percent protein! And what is unique about the protein in quinoa is that it is complete, containing all essential amino acids, being especially high in the amino acids lysine, methionine, and cystine. By adding it to other grains, those proteins become complete too. It also complements soy, which is lower in methionine and cystine. |

 Other Uses
Olive has been a symbol of peace since ancient times; the olive branch is still used as a symbol of peace for the united nations. Olive oil has long been used in oil lamps. It is often included in cosmetic creams and lotions for its emollient properties. It is often used as a carrier for essential oils that need to be diluted before being applied, and it is considered a nutritive even when applied topically. Olive wood is esteemed in woodworking. |

 The Sugar Industry Fights WHO'S Report
Our second example has to do with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the united nations, which, in spring 2003, jointly issued a draft of the "Report of the Joint WHG7FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases." The draft suggested dietary changes, including limiting the consumption of "free" sugars to less than 10 percent of caloric intake. |

| Soil loss from the uplands in the rainy season is so severe that bulldozers function as tropical snowplows to clear the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The united nations estimates that topsoil loss over at least half the country is severe enough to preclude farming. The U.S. Agency for International Development reported in 1986 that about a third of Haiti was extremely eroded and practically sterile from soil loss. Farmers worked an area six times larger than the area well suired for cultivation. |
| After Europe's colonial empires dissolved at the end of the Second World War, Josue de Castro, chairman of the executive council of the united nations Food and Agriculture Organization, argued that hunger not only prepared the ground for history's great epidemics but had been one of the most common causes of war throughout history. He viewed the success of the Chinese Revolution as driven by the strong desire for land reform among tenant farmers forced to surrender half their harvest from microscopic fields to owners of huge estates. Mao Ze-dong's strongest ally was the fear of famine. |

 Conditions are so dire that in 2000 the united nations and Asian Development Bank got together to do something about it. A massive economic experiment is under way to change local industry. Millions of dollars are being spent in a major effort to clean up the skies and get industry fully engaged in the process.

Scientific findings presented at a conference sponsored by the governments of the United States, Norway, Canada, and Iceland, and assisted by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, supported the notion that all Americans—especially pregnant and nursing women and children—should eat seafood twice a week, despite the current concerns about pollution contamination (see "What about Mercury?" page 218). |
| The protein quality and quantity in quinoa seed is often superior to those of more common cereal grains, and the nutritional quality of this crop has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the united nations. Quinoa is higher in lysine than wheat (lysine is an amino acid that's scarce in the vegetable kingdom), and the amino acid content of quinoa seed in general is considered well balanced for human and animal nutrition, and similar to that of casein.

 Of course, all of the medical drama is for very good reason; in 2000 the united nations estimated that more than half a million mothers died of complications resulting from pregnancy—but less than 1 percent of those deaths were in the developed world. So there's no question that modern medicine has helped to remove the great portion of risk from childbirth. But the approach tends to be one that is sort of disease-oriented—usually treating pregnancy as a risk to be managed, rather than an evolutionary miracle that just needs to be helped along. |

 The level of glucosinolates in the GM canola meal was only about one-third the limit determined as safe for animal feed according to CODEX, a global united nations agency for setting food standards. If such a low level was the actual cause for the heavier livers, then this study provides evidence that the CODEX limit is too high and should be lowered to a level below that found in the GM canola. |

 Moreover, organizations like the united nations had assumed that many Costa Ricans often exaggerated their ages, so that any finding would be considered invalid. Nevertheless, Rosero-Bixby, the director of the Central American Population Center in San Jose, decided to investigate further. Instead of looking at census data (in which respondents can misreport their age), he used a forgotten but foolproof method of determining how long a population of elders lives. |

 According to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body made up of the world's leading climatologists and other scientists, the predicted level of warming—up to 10°F by the end of this century—will bring on a disaster of biblical proportions: a rise of sea levels by nearly 3 feet; unendurable heat in many parts of the world; a vast increase of vector-borne diseases; raging floods and storms. A change upward of ten degrees may not seem like much until one realizes that lowering it by the same amount would bring on another ice age. |
