SHOW INTRODUCTION Despite the fact that Europe is far more prudent in their regulation of toxins and wireless technologies, they are moving quickly toward greater restrictions on access to supplements, herbs, homeopathy and other natural therapeutic options. Already I’ve been hearing from Europeans about how hard it is for them to buy vitamins in useful doses. And although a desire for supplement freedom crosses partisan lines here in the U.S., pharmaceutical and chemical companies are lobbying for the same restrictions. There is a movement afoot to make all natural supplements drugs. Now maybe you understand why there is a seemingly constant drumbeat in the conventional media painting simple nutrient supplements as dangerous despite almost a hundred years of use and no body count. Can you say the same for pharmaceuticals? Join us today as we revisit the EU’s Codex Alimentarius, what effect it’s having on our access to natural products, and what the future may hold if we’re not diligent.
