If it weren't for the vitamin and other supplements we can purchase directly over the counter I don't know how I would have faired thus far. Now moves are afoot in the USA and Europe to bring in legislation to tighten controls (good news for the megarich drug companies). I'm not a Conservative but I applaud their move to try and protect our rights in the UK to have free access to vitamin supplements.

Say NO to WTO (multinational corporate control) of our
Vitamins & Minerals!
Dr. Mercola and John Hammell of IAHF urge you to act
immediately.
If you want to maintain your access to dietary supplements, you
MUST act before Nov. 1 -- or an estimated 5000 products could
disappear off the shelves.
The Codex vitamin standards will be finalized on November
first in Bonn. Act now to stop complete restriction of our
choices.
We're at STEP 7. Completion is step 8. If enough of us act, we
can knock it back. We did it once before when it was at step
5, but we can't do it without your support... Please take a
moment to READ and ACT!

John Hammell gives more details and urges you:
Please call the Whitehouse Comments line 202-456-1111 to urge
Bush to reign in Dr.Schneeman of FDA over the Codex Vitamin
issue.
Tell the Whitehouse comments line that Dr.Schneeman of the FDA
will be representing the USA at the CCNFSDU meeting (codex
Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special dietary uses) in
Bonn Germany on Monday November 1.
She must vociferously oppose finalization of the current Codex
vitamin standard because it is not consistent with DSHEA.
Tell the whitehouse comments line operator that a legal demand
letter has been served on Schneeman, who will be facing a
Title 42 lawsuit if she fails to uphold US law at this
meeting.
Tell the comments line operator that unless Bush gets this
message to Schneeman, Bush will lose millions of votes on
Tuesday. Bush should deliver this message to Schneeman via
Dr. WEHR at CFSAN at FDA via 301-436-1724 WEHR is CODEX
