Craking the Codex

Two years ago Dr. Wright warned us about Codex Alimentarius --
an international "food standardization" program -- and how one
part of it in particular, called the European Union Directive on
Dietary Supplements, could effectively wipe out the availability of
natural products in this country.  That warning is fast becoming a
reality -- and time is running out to put a stop to the impending loss
of health freedom we are all facing.

If the EU adopts this directive, the U.S. essentially will have to as
well, since we are members of the World Trade Organization. Not
that this country always abides by its pacts and treaties with other
countries. But when it conveniently handles an item already on the
Feds' agenda, honoring an international treaty suddenly becomes
much more important.

The FDA is more likely to view the EU directive as an answer to
their prayers than something to question and resist. In fact, for
them, it's a convenient backdoor way to change this country's laws
regarding the availability of vitamins and supplements without
having to take any of the heat.

The EU Directive is especially convenient for the FDA since this
challenge to natural health products is coming at a time when
hostilities between the makers of natural supplements and the U.S.
government are at an all-time high. We've told you all about the
various bans on natural products such as red yeast rice and
ephedra. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: There is also a
systematic move towards shutting down the makers of natural
supplements as well.

Consider the case of Lane Labs, an innovative company that
formulated some natural products currently being studied by the
National Cancer Institute. Of course, natural products that might be
effective against cancer present a serious threat to the multi-trillion
dollar pharmaceutical industry, so they're seeking nothing less
than annihilation of competitors like Lane Labs. And the U.S.
government seems all-too-eager to help.

In their first judgment against Lane Labs four years ago, the
government levied a million-dollar fine against the company for
making false marketing claims. Mind you, there were no customer
complaints, and none of these products were deemed harmful or
ineffective. The company continued to sell the products and fight
the suit, so the government changed their tactics. In a crushing
blow delivered six weeks ago, a judge ordered that all of the
products in question be destroyed and that Lane Labs refund the
money they collected from all purchased products since September
of 1999.

The battle lines keep changing -- and more and more natural
products are being lost as each of these battles are waged.

It's up to people like you and me -- who know the value of having
access to vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements -- to fight for
our right to keep ourselves healthy naturally.

Start by contacting your state and local representatives and letting
them know that you are aware of this threat and exactly where you
stand on the issue. (Visit www.congress.org to find out the names
and contact information of your senators, congressmen, and local
representatives.) And be sure to check out Dr. Wright's three
specific recommendations for making an even further impact in the
September issue of Nutrition & Healing (if you're not already a
subscriber, check out the Nutrition & Healing website,
www.wrightnewsletter.com, for details on becoming one).

This is one situation that we absolutely must act on right away.
There's just not much time left to make sure that our elected
officials take a stand on our behalf -- and on behalf of our freedom
to make our own individual health care choices.

Sweet relief

Q: I am plagued by recurring bladder infections and often end up
on antibiotics for them. Then I usually wind up getting a yeast
infection. I've heard that cranberry juice is a good natural remedy
for bladder infections, so I drink it like crazy when I feel the
symptoms coming on, but it doesn't always work. Can you suggest
any other natural alternatives I can try? 

JVW: About 90 percent of all bladder infections are caused by a
strain of e.coli bacteria -- not the deadly strain, thankfully, but one
that causes problems, nonetheless. Because it can "stick" to the
walls of the bladder, it is not easily rinsed out of your system by
urination, and can cause this painful infection.

Antibiotics do kill the e-coli, but they also kill all the friendly
bacteria that keep your system healthy and in balance, too. This
explains why you get yeast infections when you take the
antibiotics.

As far as natural alternatives to antibiotics go, you're on the right
track with cranberry juice, but you can do better. The ingredient in
the cranberry juice that actually offers the protective, natural
antibiotic effect is a simple sugar called D-mannose. It detaches
the e-coli from the bladder walls and allows it to be washed away
in the urine.

Despite being classified as a "sugar," D-mannose is very safe.
Very little of it is actually metabolized by the body. Large doses
are washed away in the urine, and the amounts not excreted into
the urine are so small that they do not affect blood sugar levels --
even in diabetics.

The next time you feel symptoms coming on, you might want to
consider taking 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of D-mannose dissolved in some
water every two to three hours until your symptoms subside.

You or your health food store can order D-mannose from Bio-Tech
Pharmacal (479-443-9148; www.bio-tech-pharm.com), or you can
order it on-line from various websites. For a complete list, visit the
Internet search engine google.com and type "D-mannose" into the
search field. (Please note that I have no information on the quality
or reputation of any of these companies or their products).

What is…glutamine?

Glutamine is one of the nonessential amino acids -- meaning that
the body manufactures it internally. It is much more abundant than
the rest of the amino acids because it is involved in the most
metabolic activities within the body. For example, it can be
converted to glucose when your body needs more energy. White
blood cells also use glutamine as part of the body's immu
response.

Generally people are not deficient in glutamine, however,
conditions such as fasting, starvation, cirrhosis, and other critical
illnesses have been known to decrease the level of this amino acid.
