Are "Rife Devices" Grandfathered?

Declaration of Ralph Fucetola JD

Ralph Fucetola JD declares under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 that the following information is true to best of my knowledge and belief and that if called to testify in this matter I could testify competently to these facts.

The following is my research opinion review of the United States vs James Folsom and the matters that should be considered in sentencing or re-sentencing.

The first serious question that must be asked if a fair and reasonable sentence is to be imposed in this case is, ‘Is there a hidden motive why the FDA denies the existence of any predicate Rife type device?’ That is, a Rife device that will qualify frequency devices for “significantly equivalent frequency device” status under the “grandfather clause” of the May 28, 1976 Congressional – Cosmetic, Food and Drug (Devices) Act (1976 CCFD Act)?

From my review of the trial information, it appears that the primary FDA Agent testifying for the Government’s case during the Folsom trial denied that such a device exists. Interestingly, while this denial was/is going on, and as a corner-stone of the Prosecution’s “closing rebuttal” was trial photo Exhibit # 600 revealing such a predicate – 1976 ‘grandfather clause’ device. The Prosecutor certainly did not know what was revealed in that photo, a photo that appears to have been taken April 2, 2003 showing the interior of Folsom’s storage unit with all the property and devices, including the “predicate” one, that were seized during the FDA raid against his business and property. That predicate device is now apparently located at the FDA’s Headquarters evidence room, San Clemente, California. And, significantly the FDA clearly implies no such device exists.

The record shows the Prosecution, under Court Order, in 2008, as part of “pre-trial discovery,” to allow Folsom and his attorney (at the time) complete access to all evidence, and very specifically that evidence held at FDA Headquarters, San Clemente. “Partial” access and discovery was made in the summer of 2008, however, no discovery access to the devices, device components, accessories, manuals, documents, etc., that were shown in the trial photo Exhibit # 600 was made available by the Government/FDA at this evidence room. This access and discovery was denied, even after “court admonishments” toward the Prosecutor because of the intentional “delays and obstructions” that blocked partial and complete discovery. This appears from the record.

I further note that frequency programs and device technology (offered by another), was “grandfather clause” FDA 510 (k) accepted in June 2007, as a TENS device for “pain and muscular relaxation.” The Scanar device, developed from the Russian space program and the Scio devices, both providing the elements of the Rife frequencies, were FDA 510 (k) approved/accepted as “bio feedback devices. Restrictions do apply (similar to those experienced by the Food Supplement industry) in the marketing of these devices and what can be stated to the customer as regards frequencies as they relate to specific conditions and body functions. What is essential is a Disclaimer that there is no intent to “treat disease” but rather that the devices my offer therapies that may benefit.

Such devices, in general, including the Folsom device, do not require 510(k) approval. Generally, devices “intended for human use…” must be registered, with certain exceptions, stated in the statute:

(l) Exemption from reporting requirements - A report under subsection (k) of this section is not required for a device intended for human use that is exempted from the requirements of this subsection under subsection (m) of this section or is within a type that has been classified into class I under section 360c of this title. The exception established in the preceding sentence does not apply to any class I device that is intended for a use which is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or to any class I device that presents a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury.

Furthermore, the statute provides a definition of Class I devices:

(A) Class I, General Controls… (I) is not purported or represented to be for a use in supporting or sustaining human life or for a use which is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, and (II) does not present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury…

It is my understanding that the Folsom device is not “for a use in supporting or sustaining human life or for a use which is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, and… does not present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury…” The intent of the device is provision of pre-diagnostic evaluation for self-education and research purposes, to achieve and maintain a status of wellness, not to prevent impairment of human health, nor does such a device present any potential risk of illness or injury; it is the equivalent of a battery-powered, micro-amp device. It is not intended to “treat” disease but rather to provide the body with biologically compatible energy or to provide a therapy that may benefit.

The importance for having official Government/FDA acknowledgement for the existence of a “predicate” device will allow for Rife type device FDA “acceptance” under Sec. 360 of the 1976 CCFD Act -“grandfather” clause (for “medical device” or complete “exemption”). Meaning for a “Rife type device” to receive FDA acceptance under the 1976 CCFD Act “grandfather” clause there would be no requirement for the multi-million dollar expenses and time consumption for “double-blind” studies, etc., only the pharmaceutical companies can afford. This cost is only one of the many impediments and restrictions preventing pharmaceutical industry competition. This is the reason also no manufacturer within the Rife industry can afford or comply with the normal FDA 510 (k) requirements – it is impossible and therefore the “underground” element to get a low cost alternative health care modality out to the American people. There is no “level playing field” in existence between “Complementary and Alternative Therapies,” vs. “Allopathic/ Pharmaceutical Medicine.” It simply does not exist.

Currently, without use of the 1976 CCFD Act “grandfather” clause, all manufacturers within the Rife industry, would be required for FDA 510 (k) acceptance, to apply over and over again for each applicable body “health and wellness” or “medical” condition (for hundreds, if not thousands of conditions if each were applied) , for man or animal. The costs and processes would be prohibitive. However, if it can be officially acknowledged and accepted there exists a 1976 “predicate” Rife type device, as the Government/FDA is hiding in San Clemente) then all the above would not be required. A major efficacious low cost “health and wellness” frequency modality would then readily be made – “out in the open and non underground anymore” – available to the American people. And, as the beneficiaries of this technology they would then be the true winners – “not victims anymore.”

Is there a conflict of interest within the FDA regarding Alternative vs. Allopatic/ Pharmacological medicine? June 1996 President Clinton signed an executive order allowing all the “ABC” Governmental agencies to resource their own revenues. It’s well documented of the FDA’s mastered “mining of income” from the pharmaceutical industry. It is even reported from those within the FDA, even by FDA mid-level researcher Dr. David Graham who testified before Congress, that this government agency values the pharmaceutical industry as its’ own “financial fiefdom.”

Besides the Rife industry, past discrediting took place against other “alternative healing modalities.” The Chiropractic industry experienced the same until winning a major court case in 1991. The “food supplement” industry was fending off the unwanted encroachments of the FDA until the supplemental DSHEA Act was brought about as a compromise – sponsored by Senator Orin Hatch in 1994. Acupuncture, recognized in the Orient for thousands of years, was finally accepted by main stream medicine as one of the “healing arts” here in the U.S. in 2001.

There is a regulatory category of product or service in which these various modalities, including Rife technology, clearly fit that excludes them from the practice of medicine and thus from being medical devices or services. That category is what may be termed “therapies that may benefit.”
The Code of Medical Ethics of the American Medical Association has also begun to acknowledge an independent use of the term “therapy” to describe non-medical health care services.

While "treatment which has no scientific basis" remains condemned (Opinion 3.01), under Opinion 3.04, physicians are free to "refer" a patient "for therapeutic or diagnostic services to another physician, limited practitioner or any other provider of health care services permitted by law to furnish such services, whenever he or she believes that this may benefit the patient." Thus, unscientific "treatment" is distinguished from "health care services permitted by law." "Treatment" -- which means the use of standard medicine and surgery to "cure" disease -- is distinguished from other health care services (therapies) which need only meet the lesser "may benefit" standard.

While physicians "prescribe" treatments for disease, therapies that may benefit; may be subject to "referral" thereby further indicating the distinction.  Thus, for example, energetic devices that support normal structure and function, even to support therapeutic outcomes, can be seen to complement licensed medicine, but not to be part of it, or held to its strictures, nor limited in its practice to licensed physicians. This is the essence of the case of Andrews v Ballard (USDC, TX, 498 F Supp 1038, 1980) is cited as a leading authority for the propositions that (1) a decision to obtain (in this case) acupuncture needle therapies from one not licensed as a medical doctor is a constitutional right encompassed by the right of privacy (p.1048) and (2) the provisions of the medical practices act, insofar as they limit the use of acupuncture needles to licensed physicians, are unconstitutional (p.1051, et seq.). This and other cases recognized a Federally protected right to access information about unlicensed products and services.

See also, Thompson v. Western States Medical Center - 01-344, decided on April 29, 2002 - 535 U.S. 357 where the Court said, "If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last - not first - resort… We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information… Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring … a warning that the [product] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown."

Thus, since such therapies are not prescription services, members of the public may choose such services without the permission of their physician and as of right.

In the case of State v Biggs (46 SE Reporter 401, 1903) the North Carolina Supreme Court dealt with a person who was advising people as to diet, and administering massage, baths and physical culture. In the Biggs case, the defendant "advertised himself as a 'nonmedical physician'...[and] held himself out to the public to cure disease by 'a system of drugless healing'..." p.401. That Court held that there could be no "state system of healing" p.402 and while "Those who wish to be treated by practitioners of medicine and surgery had the guaranty that such practitioners had been duly examined...those who had faith in treatment by methods not included in the 'practice of medicine and surgery' as usually understood, had reserved to them the right to practice their faith and be treated, if they chose, by those who openly and avowedly did not use either surgery or drugs in the treatment of diseases..." p.402. Biggs was acquitted.

In the Folsom case, the Jury was not given the opportunity to understand the distinction between the “treatment of disease” which is a predicate for a device to be a “medical device” and “therapies that may benefit” which include such well-known modalities as acupuncture and biofeedback and some lesser know modalities such as energetic devices, including Rife devices.

Under these circumstances, Justice would be best served by considering Jim Folsom’s age and leaving him at home, under such restrictions as might be deemed to protect the public, but not to restrict his private expressive association activities which are beyond the lawful purview of the Federal government..

I declare that the above statements made by me are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief

Very truly yours,

Fake food and supplement "safety" bills and the future of healthcare.

03/07/10 Push Back Update: Has McCain withdrawn his support from S.3002? See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4767

-------------
The Federal authorities' program last year to purchase ($6.4 billion worth) of swine flu" vaccines, then to approve the use of those vaccines (by the FDA) and then to recommend their use (by the CDC) and then to distribute the vaccines, collapsed in the face of public refusal to believe there was a real pandemic, despite an unbelievable presidential declaration of national emergency. Perhaps even more important was public refusal to voluntarily accept the unsafety-tested, uninsurable flu vaccines.

Just so, the current plan to subject us to yet more control over our health and food choices by giving that failed agency, the FDA, yet more power to abuse, power over all foods and that class of foods known as "dietary supplements," has suddenly come to the fore.

Two bills are wending their way through Congress to enable the FDA's bureaucrats to tighten their incompetent grip on what choices people are allowed1. One of these claims to be a "food safety" bill, S 510 with Sen Tom Harkin as a chief sponsor, and the other is the so-called "Dietary Supplement Safety" bill, S 3002, chiefly sponsored by Sen John McCain.

Yes, these bills would give FDA even more power to abuse. It was Dr. Ron Paul who accused the agency of being a power abuser in 2007 and nothing has changed to negate that judgment.

The govt owned, approved, recommended and distributed vaccine program collapsed in the face of 2.8 million messages to state legislators and members of Congress demanding respect for our right to reject vaccination. The fake safety bills are stalled in the Senate, facing now over a million messages to Congress and decision makers. In just the past few days well over another hundred thousand messages have gone out.

The future of health care in America will not be decided by final congressional approval of some version or other of national health care, since there will not be enough resources available to fund that system. Rather, programs of nationalized food and natural product control, such as the Swine Flu Vaccine program, or programs of national regulation, such as the false "safety" bills will be the vehicle through which nationalized health control will be imposed.

We already see this with a peculiar clause in the last FDA enabling act to pass Congress, the Kennedy bill of 2007. That bill included Section 301(11) which gives FDA authority to ban the interstate commerce in any food ever studied for medical use. Now why would a govt agency need such a power? What business of govt is it what foods we can trade? Whose interests would such anti-market power serve? Well, let's see how FDA (ab)used that new power Sen Kennedy provided it. Last year FDA banned the interstate trade of a certain form of vitamin B6 because a drug company had studied it for medical use but decided not to use it, and asked FDA to ban it... why? For competitive advantage. For monopoly privilege. This is how FDA (ab)uses its power.

This is a good indication of what FDA would do with the additional authority the McCain and Harkin bills would give it.

Up until a week ago we had thought the "food safety" bill was safely bottled up in the Senate HELP committee where it has languished since its official "mark-up" prior to being brought to the flood of the Senate for a vote. Why was it stuck there? Because over 150,000 messages went to the Senate and president over the weekend before the "mark-up" meeting and even Sen. Harkin had to admit (it's on the taping of the November 18th meeting on the HELP committee web site) that the people were concerned. And he announced that the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) which had been passed by a unanimous Congress and which allowed the
development of the vibrant, high potency dietary supplement market in the USA, was still the law of the land. No congressional intent to change that.

Until last week, that is. Then John McCain showed us that he is on the side of the power abusers. His bill would in effect "HARMonize" our Dietary Supplement freedoms with EU/Codex international restrictions.

Unless, of course, there is enough public push back, as we know "Push Back Works!" And that push back has started. A week ago this past Thursday (on February 4, 2010) McCain announced the filing of S 3002. Emails were quickly exchanged among health freedom advocates. The next evening we had our first eblast out, to several hundred thousand Natural Solutions foundation supporters and they began to forward the message to millions of others. At the same time freedom advocates such as Citizens for Health were also reaching out with the same message to the Senate: "Do NOT cosponsor S 3002!" Such advanced healthcare luminaries as Gary Null put the link to our Action Item on their websites and thousands more sent messages to Congress.
Dr. Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty also featured the link generating more viral action, while the people following www.Twitter.com/HealthFreedomUS continued to grow.

The Action Item is:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?
campaign_KEY=26714

Our analysis of these bills, and how their seemingly "safety" language is just a guise for monopolistic intent, is linked from the Action Item page.

We, the trustees of Natural Solutions Foundation are so very pleased to see the health freedom movement responding together in this way. We see this issue becoming the touchstone for the future of real health care reform -- changes we can believe in, namely, no more "business as usual" with the biggest of the bigs, Big Agribiz, Big Pharma, Big Finance and Big Govt finally being excluded from the control over our food and freedom they so crave.

We have begun the transpartisan process of taking back our health and food freedom. And that is a very good thing.

McCain Bill Poses Threat to DSHEA and Health Freedom

Update: Action Item to Protest McCain Bill
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

---------
I re-post in full today's media release from the Natural Products Association regarding new threats to health freedom.

It was Constitutionalist Dr. Ron Paul (R-Texas) who described the FDA's behavior as "an abuse of power..." and now failed presidential candidate McCain, a "RINO" (Republican In Name Only) lets us know where he stands: on the side of the power abusers.

The "Accepted Dietary Ingredient List" is especially troubling since such a code provision moves us away from our Common Law Right to access the foods we choose to a Civil Law (Codex Alimentarius) regulation of what we may choose. Under the Common Law what is not explicitly forbidden is allowed; under the Code, whatever is not permitted is forbidden. This "lawyer's distinction" is of the greatest significance in preserving our Liberty.

We will post an Action Item at Heatlh Freedom USA opposing the McCain bill when it is formally introduced. See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4608

The terms of this bill further the Globalist Eugenicide Agenda in that it seeks to treat dietary supplements, which are foods and therefore ought to be deemed safe if used as directed, as though they were toxins (while, of course, the agency treats the real dangers - GMOs, food additives, dangerous drugs, vaccines and industrial toxins as though they were perfectly safe). rf

February 3, 2010: New Legislation Poses Threat to DSHEA

At a press conference held earlier today, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) announced that he would be introducing legislation that would amend the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) additional powers over retailers and suppliers in the dietary supplements industry. The Natural Products Association is reviewing McCain's bill, which is cosponsored by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), and offers this initial analysis regarding the impact of the legislation on the industry.

NPA will work aggressively to address this threat to the industry. The association will continue to keep its members informed and let them know how they can help protect their businesses.

Brief description of the provisions of the
Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010

New Requirements from Suppliers to Retailers

Suppliers and retailers regardless of size all along the chain of commerce are required to "obtain adequate written evidence" from the seller that the product is registered as required. That evidence must be retained in a file available for inspection.

Adverse Event Reporting (AER)

Requires reporting of all adverse events, not just serious adverse events. In addition, a compilation of non-serious AERs must be submitted annually, and records must be maintained for three years.

"Accepted Dietary Ingredients" List

Mandates creation by the Secretary of a list of "Accepted Dietary Ingredients" to replace the current "in commerce pre-DSHEA" test.

New Dietary Ingredients (NDI)

NDIs are considered adulterated unless there is a history of use or evidence of its safety. Registrants shall maintain a "scientifically reasonable substantiation file" available for inspection by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Registration required 75 days prior to market.

Recall Authority

Provides immediate recall authority to the Secretary upon determination that a supplement "would cause serious, adverse health consequences or death, or is adulterated or misbranded." Companies subject to a recall have the right to challenge the order in an "informal hearing" within 10 days. At their own expense, retailers must notify customers of such recalls.

Registration of Dietary Supplement Facilities

Dietary supplement facilities shall register with the Secretary (required information includes name, address of all facilities, trade names, list of supplements, their ingredients, and labels). Registration is annual.

NY & NJ Reinstate Flu Vax Mandate!

As the New Year starts and while both FDA and CDC try to frighten us with no-longer believable "Swine-Flu-Pandemic Third Wave" tales...

"And you old folks, don't forget to get your jab! The government pays for it!" But, weren't older folks supposed to have had some immunity to the "Swine Flu" from having lived through the 1976 "Swine Flu" fiasco? Isn't that why it was children and pregnant women first to be "offered" the vaccines? And then health care workers, such as the New York plaintiffs in our "Stop the Shot" lawsuit.

You may recall that federal law suit ended when the New York health care worker flu vaccine mandate itself was suspended for alleged lack of vaccines. No vaccines, no mandate; no mandate, no court case.

See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3933 [Video Report]

Well, they're back! "Governor David A. Paterson today announced that the State Department of Health (DOH) is reinstating the requirement that hospitals offer the H1N1 flu vaccine to the caregivers of newborns in intensive care and hospital patients who are 65 years of age or older. The reinstated requirement was made possible by increased supplies of vaccine." [While the present and future scope of the reinstatement of the suspended mandate is not clear, it covers at least health care workers in newborn IC and older patients; possibly the parents of infants in IC as well.]

See: http://www.state.ny.us/governor/press/press_01151002.html

Looks like the intrepid NY health care workers who, since their initial victory over the NY mandate, have made common cause with others concerned about vaccination, may need to return to the Washington DC court, where the Federal judge told them at their hearing on November 2, 2009, if the mandate was reinstated, they could come back to him.

Meanwhile, the New Jersey licensed childcare attendance mandate has also come back into effect. NJ was the only other state-wide flu vaccine mandate in the US. It had also been suspended for alleged lack of supply (curiously just as we were seeking to amend the Complaint in the "Stop the Shot" case to include the NJ mandate). That suspension covered 2009, so in this new year a new annual flu vaccine requirement exists.

See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3970

Why is all this important? First, certainly, no one should ever be forced to take any vaccine against their free and informed choice. Second, the courts have created a number of obstacles to challenging FDA approval of vaccines. The Natural Solutions Foundation and its allies seek to do just that, and must align with people who are being forced, at risk of job, schooling or other value, to accept the vaccines against their free choice. That's proven a difficult standard, since the first two sets of plaintiffs saw the mandates vanish when legal "Push Back" was initiated.

Now, however, as we respond to the recently completed Health Freedom War Council and begin the Third Round of the "Stop the Shot" litigation and as the CDC began its propaganda about a Third Wave of the so-called "pandemic" we find ourselves allied again with those whose livelihood, education or children are at risk from these uninsurable, unsafety-test vaccines.

See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4478

In the case of H1N1, the "Swine Flu" those vaccines were purchased by the US government (for $6.4 billion) then approved by the government (FDA) and then recommended by the government (CDC) and then distributed by the government (HHS). This may or may not be an unusual business model; certainly it is not worthy of respect, nor worthy of a supposed free people.

Are you finally ready to shout, "I'm as mad as hell and I won't take it any more!"

If you are, we need your support for the "Stop the Shot" litigation. Please go to the Foundation donation page and make your most generous gift. Just end your amount in the number "6" so we can track the amounts earmarked to the case.

RumorMill News Health Freedom Disinformation

An Open Letter to Rayelan, regarding the disinformation posted on her RumorMill News on December 27, 2009 in the "ROBERT JONES: Codex Alimentarius in 7 more days and not a peep- Why?" thread:

Robert Jones is correct: Codex remains a real threat to wholesome foods; high-potency nutrition. However, the original desire of some Codex supporters to see it fully implemented by the end of this year is not coming to pass.

Mr. Singer, the first commenter on the thread, on the other hand is peddling disinformation of the most vicious sort about Dr Rima E Laibow MD and her hero-husband, Gen Stubblebine.

First, Codex:

The Codex Globalist Plan is way behind "schedule." That's because the world-wide health freedom movement has successfully "pushed back" and the globalist agenda is in disarray -- in little ways and in big ways; examples: fluoride was not added to the list of "allowed" ingredients in baby formula because the health-conscious developing nations stood up and objected. Another example, the "daily reference value" for nutrients, set woefully low, is subject to the Codex Two Step legal procedure countries can use to avoid Codex restrictions.

We are proud to have played a role in the fact that global implementation has been delayed through our tireless dissemination of accurate information to the developing nations of the world assisting them in departing from the Codex standards and guidelines through the implementation of the Codex Two Step Process (for more information, download the Codex eBook, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=205) and watch "The Codex Two Step Video", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QNg3MD6BxM.

The Natural Solutions Foundation is the only health freedom organization in the world which spent the time, energy and resources necessary to first find a solution to the Codex menace and then take it directly to the governments of the developing world.

We are leaders in every aspect of health freedom and continue to forge new ground.

For example, knowing that natural food production techniques were rapidly being lost and food production industrialized, a la Codex, we created the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project in Panama to reclaim the production of food using advanced technologies and ancient ones.

The result? A REAL Green Revolution in the making, through the global education of farmers and non-farmers alike.

Please visit www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org for more information on this leading edge, innovative health freedom project.

Or visit www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org to learn how to grow your own vegetables in a tiny space. Anywhere. Anytime. As long as the law still allows.

There is no significant area of Health Freedom where the Natural Solutions is not the leader and innovator for analysis and solutions.

I am honored to be a co-trustee of www.HealthFreedomUSA.org with Gen Stubblebine and Dr Laibow. We've invited health freedom advocates to join us on January 2 and 3, both in person and online, for the 2010 Health Freedom War Council.

Event media release: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4308

Now on to Mr. Singer: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=163472.

He regurgitates the usual insubstantial rumors and innuendo. Nothing of substance. Then there's the appeal to authority... and all the usual big lie techniques.

The attacks on Dr Laibow and Gen Stubblebine originate from a multiply-hospitalized schizophrenic... but you can read more about that sorry story and our specific replies to the not-so-specific attacks here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=1694

It's all smoke and mirrors and disinformation and it always surfaces whenever we're engaging in another initiative that will impact Health Freedom... like our planned War Council will!

The usual gossip about the good Doctor and the General are B.S. -- nothing more. The same can be said about the attack on our friend and colleague Linn Cohen, a true hero of health and food freedom.

And anyone who believes Mr. Singer's disinformation is likely either really stupid or a conscious supporter of the Bigs -- Big Pharma, Big Finance, Big Agra, Big Oil, Big Govt... and no friend of ours or of health freedom!

Health Freedom War Council: Codex Effective December 2009?

Update: War Council report and Video:
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4478

The New Year means new opportunities for Health and Freedom!

Due to comments in Dr. Laibow's extraordinary 2005 video, Nutricide*, people are asking us if "Codex will be effective in the US this month, December 2009?"

It remains true that Codex continues on its merry way... but always delayed by our Push Back!

Those who think they rule the world have many plans to control our lives; not all of them succeed. So far the original intent of Codex to be fully in place with regard to nutrients by the end of this year is clearly delayed... by years, and we hope forever!

FDA continues to pursue its policy of HARMonizing our freedoms to Codex's restrictions, as it announced its policy to "harmonize with international regulations even when not finalized..." in the Federal Register in October 1995.

Congress even added a clause to the pending, fake "Food Safety" bill requiring FDA to make harmonization recommendations to Congress. But, reading "between the lines" of Senator Harkin's comments about our Push Back suggests there is continued resistance in Congress to forced HARMonization.

See the update section here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4014

Dr. Laibow's latest report on the Codex Meeting she attended last month:

http://www.youtube.com/user/NaturalSolutions#p/u/0/P30Itrfhn8o

From this video report, you can see that Codex is now moving to establish "daily reference values" for all nutrients in international trade, supposedly to make sure that different food labels can be compared. It is, however, a very slippery slope from "reference value" to "maximum permitted levels..." And the levels Codex wants to impose, as Dr. Laibow explains, are too low to even avoid vitamin deficiency diseases, let alone, promote optimal health!

We continue to pursue our policy of Push Back, because we know Push Back Works!

See our Natural Solutions accomplishment page for many examples!

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=195

So the Codex original deadline of December 31, 2009 is delayed, indefinitely, so long as we continue to Push Back!

2010 Health Freedom USA War Council

And we're holding our 2010 Health Freedom USA War Council both live and online on January 2 and 3, 2010 to continue our Push Back efforts.

Details here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4183

Please join us in developing ever more powerful Push Back!

Non Food "Food" - A Taste of Things - and Diseases - to Come

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) says,
"A balanced diet is best way to safeguard health and to prevent disease rather than relying on nutrition supplementation". http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/content/view/print/269921



The ADA also says that they, and they alone, should be the only people legally permitted to tell anyone anything at all about nutrition. Ever. No Doctors, Nurses, Nutritionists, Biochemists, only Dietitians. You know, the people who are responsible for the ghastly diets of cheap non-foods in nursing homes, hospitals and other places where if you are sick, the food makes you sicker and if you are not sick, you soon will be if you hang around there long enough.

Here is my question to the ADA: "How, pray tell, are we to have a balanced diet when our food is being increasingly replaced by non-food substitutes filled with chemicals, flavors that never saw a real food item and deadly, damaged oils? Just how does that happen? And how does it happen when our food is grown in soil so demineralized that there is nothing for the plant to make nourishment out of for you? When the foods that we are offered by the industrialized food supply contains non-food substitutes like the 6 mentioned in the following article? Where is the balanced diet supposed to come from when 90% of our food has been manufactured from genetically modified sources, meat is being grown in cloning tanks and the amount of poison in food production is so great that beekeepers in Europe are actually calling, at their own economic peril, for bee products to be banned from human consumption because they are now so toxic that they cannot be safely eaten?

The articles below are noteworthy because they are a taste of things to come, literally, if the Food Fascism bill, S. 510, now before the Senate, which will drive small, organic and clean farming operations out of business nationwide, is allowed to pass. It will not only mean that the corrupt, dysfunctional and dangerous FDA will be given far more authority to abuse than it has now [including the power to declare marshal law (!)] but also that the entire food supply will be industrialized. What does that mean? It means that whatever is cheapest will be marketed and sold to you as if it were food. And it means real food, such as safe raw milk, will be demonized and outlawed, as the second article below suggests is happening right now!

The World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization's Joint Special Report, Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Disease, www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/publications/trs916/en/ makes it clear that under nutrition (including high calorie under nutrition, a form of slow starvation) is the primary cause of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. These 5 diseases are the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in the US and the rest of the developing world. They are also the principle money makers for the Illness Care Industry, at the head of which, of course, you will not be surprised to find Big Pharma.

Oh, yes, the Pharmaceutical companies are also chemical companies. They make the dangerous chemicals which are permitted in our food by Codex, the US EPA and their global counterparts. AND, of course, they make the drugs which the sell when your under nutrition and your toxic state damage your immune system so badly that there is nothing left with which to fight off these chronic, disabling and, frequently, ultimately lethal, diseases.

So the passage of S. 510 means, ultimately, non-food substitutes like the ones below in favor of food, real food. You are already eating GMO corn which has been turned into flavors, starches, amino acids and a host of other "food" products. You are already eating fats which have been treated in such a way that they become toxic since hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats are both immune suppressive and neurotoxic.

You are already eating food which is being irradiated. And damaged at every processing step. Isn't it time that We, the People, required that our government define food as a nutritive substance whose immediate last identity was recognizable food? We think it is.

The 6 Weirdest, Scariest Processed Foods

By Brad Reed
AlterNet. - December 6, 2009.

Once upon a time, some brave scientists had a noble dream of ridding our food of the plague of nutrients.

Today, at the start of the 21st century, the miracle of food processing has brought that dream closer to reality than ever before. From vitamin-free "blueberry bits" to spray-can cheese to avocado-free guacamole, food scientists have worked tirelessly to bring us new and exciting foods that contain as little nutrition as possible. Even apparently "healthy" foods such as soups have been ingeniously overloaded with so much salt you feel as if you’re eating French fries.

In this article, we’ll provide a handy guide to six uniquely unnatural processed foods that will hopefully serve as a blueprint for humanity’s eventual triumph over the tyrannical fist of Mother Nature.

1. Spray-Can 'Easy Cheese'

Dipping a butter knife into a tub of cheese spread and putting it on a cracker takes a lot of time and effort. Thankfully for all of us, the wizards at Kraft have developed a product that ensures we’ll never again run the risk of hurting our wrists trying to spread processed cheese. Kraft’s Easy Cheese cans combine the soulless tastelessness of its cheese products with the convenience and simplicity of whipped cream cans.

The most interesting aspect of Easy Cheese is its remarkable consistency. Normally, cheese comes in a solid state when kept at room temperature and only becomes liquid when melted at high temperatures. Easy Cheese, on the other hand, has a Goldilocks-like "not too solid, not too viscous" quality that makes it easy to spread on food without having it drip on your clothing.

According to an exposé in Wired magazine, Easy Cheese achieves this amazing texture by containing lots of unhealthy crap, such as the stain-removing chemical trisodium phosphate and a healthy dose of canola oil that keeps the cheese from solidifying. Oh, and they also load Easy Cheese with about twice the amount of salt you'd normally find in natural cheddar cheese.

But the best ingredient in Easy Cheese is calcium phosphate, which is used as a calcium supplement. "But wait," you say. "Why does a cheese product need calcium added artificially?" Well, as Wired speculates, the sodium phosphate could actually negate the calcium in the natural cheese. Thus, Kraft had to put in an additive that would make up for the calcium that's taken away through food processing. Genius!

2. Oreo Cookie Death Filling

It’s rare to encounter a food that makes you say, "If only this were as healthy as frosting!" And yet, the filling in Oreo cookies manages to accomplish just that.

You see, typical frosting is made mostly from butter, milk, sugar and vanilla extract. No one will ever accuse it of being good for you, but at least you're eating fairly natural fats. Oreo stuffing, on the other hand, is basically sugar-flavored Crisco. Seriously, that’s what you’re consuming when you eat an Oreo.

Oreos' death filling is so bad it even inspired an ill-fated lawsuit in California a few years back that tried to stop the sale of Oreos to children. While the suit was eventually dropped, it did introduce trans fats to the public consciousness and helped spearhead the campaign to make food companies indicate on their labels whether their products contained any trans fats, so it wasn’t a total waste.

That said, I think the best way to stop people from eating Oreos wouldn’t be to ban them outright but to force Kraft to rebrand them to reflect their actual ingredients. So let’s say you mandate that Kraft label its cookies "Criscoroes" and have the package depict a kid gorging himself in a tub of vegetable shortening. Yum!

3. Condensed Soups

Ah, soup. It’s the food mom used to feed us when we were sick. Every child has fond memories of being nursed back to health by sipping at the warm, nutritious broth of chicken noodle soup. Of course, mom probably didn’t realize at the time that she was setting you up for a future of high blood pressure and kidney failure. Because if she fed you condensed soup from a can, she was loading your young body up with insanely high amounts of sodium.

How insanely high, you ask? Well, consider that a mere half-cup of Campbell’s Vegetable Soup contains a heart-stopping 890 mg of sodium, or roughly 37 percent of your daily recommended sodium intake. But wait, there’s more! The typical Campbell’s soup can contains one-and-a-half cups of soup, meaning that one can of soup contains more than 90 percent of your daily recommended sodium intake.

To be fair to Campbell’s, it does have a "Healthy Request" brand of soup that contains roughly half the salt of Campbell's other soups. Still, one of soup’s supposed key virtues is that it isn’t a cheeseburger. In other words, when you buy a bowl of soup you shouldn’t have to "request" a healthy version of it.

4. Spam

Spam was really a major miracle of food science, as it solved a mystery that humanity had been trying for centuries to figure out: namely, how to make meat-flavored Jell-O. Developed in the 1930s, Spam is derived primarily from pork shoulder meat (seriously) and combined with water, sugar, sodium nitrate (of course) and copious amounts of salt. The result is a meat-like goo that derives 80 percent of its calories from fat and that delivers a whopping 790 mg of sodium per two-ounce serving.

Spam first hit the big-time during World War II when its highly preserved state made it the ideal food to feed to our protein-needy soldiers fighting over in Europe. Now there's a fine tribute to our fighting boys! Thanks for risking your butts against the Nazis, fellas, now here’s a mound of pork slime! When you think about it, it’s remarkable that more of our troops didn’t defect to the German army, which assuredly would have offered them generous helpings of bratwurst, knockwurst and schweineschnitzel in exchange for changing sides. The fact that Americans bravely suffered through Spam prior to fighting the Battle of the Bulge adds yet another heroic chapter to the Greatest Generation’s legacy.

5. Artificially Flavored Blueberry Bits

Frozen waffles are fairly non-nutritious. Indeed, the only real way to get any sort of vitamins in your waffles each morning is to buy blueberry waffles that contain….

But, hang on! It turns out those aren’t blueberries at all! They’re more like…well, just what are they? An apt description would be "purple globs of sugary goo," but they’re actually called "artificially flavored blueberry bits." Their ingredients include sugar, dextrose, soybean oil, soy protein, salt, citric acid, cellulose gum, artificial flavor, malic acid, Red 40 Lake, Blue 2 Lake and…that’s it. Notice anything missing? Oh yeah: blueberries!

For a long time, companies such as Aunt Jemima parent Pinnacle Foods were able to get away with implying that these little unfruity lumps were actual blueberries, as the box for Aunt Jemima’s blueberry waffles had pictures of actual blueberries strewn across it. But the threat of a lawsuit from Center for Science in the Public Interest made Pinnacle decide to tell people that their waffles didn’t contain any actual blueberries.

What makes the development of fake blueberries so exciting is the number of possibilities it opens up for other fake fruits. Picture artificial strawberry strips, made mostly of bacon and high-fructose corn syrup. Or perhaps artificial melon mounds made of solidified vegetable oil and dextrose monohydrate. Or the coup de grace, artificial artificial blueberry bits, made with NutraSweet and artificial soy protein. Not one natural ingredient, baby!

Kraft’s Avocado-Free Guacamole

This right here may be the pinnacle of processed food magic. Kraft has managed to make a food product without an actual main ingredient, akin to tomato-free tomato sauce or potato-free baked potato. Yes, there are no avocados in Kraft’s guacamole. Then what is it made of, you ask? How about some modified food starch, coconut and soybean oils, corn syrup, food coloring…in other words, you’re eating green-colored oil.

As with a lot of phony processed foods, the avocado-free guacamole compelled somebody to sue the product’s manufacturer for false advertising. In this case, California resident Brenda Lifsey got upset because she thought Kraft’s guacamole "didn’t taste avocadoey." She then looked at the ingredients, and lo and behold, "there was almost no avocado in it."

Kraft’s response to Lifsey’s lawsuit was a masterwork of poor corporate spin, as a company spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times, "We think customers understand that it isn't made from avocado." Well actually, no. Customers tend to buy guacamole with the understanding that it will be made from, oh, I don’t know, avocados. This is akin to a Viagra spokesperson saying, "We think customers understand that our pills won’t really give them erections."

For the record, Kraft is no longer selling congealed green oil as "guacamole" but rather as "guacamole-flavored dip." It’s an improvement, I suppose, though I think somebody should file a suit against Kraft that prevents the company from ever again describing its products as "foods."*

Raw Milk - Regulated Out of Existence

Do you seek out natural, wholesome foods, free of GMO ingredients, etc.? Do you treasure raw milk for its wonderful, healthful qualities as an ingredient in your favorite holiday treats? It is becoming increasingly difficult to find good food and drink... Why? Because of the policies of the state and Federal governments.

It's happening in South Dakota, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin, for sure, where there have been recent efforts to shut down dairy and/or raw milk sales. That's, of course, in addition to fully destroying dairy farming inside the corporate system, and now the dairy giants pushing to get rid of independent dairy farmers by putting regulations in S 510 to demand pasteurization of raw milk.

We need to keep track of all these assaults (I am sure there are more) and lay out the whole picture so aware, conscious eaters can Push Back and resist the industrialization of our food supply!

Here is a most egregious example of the assault on Food Freedom.

South Dakota Department of Agriculture proposed rules for raw milk dairy farmers is the prelude to S 510 and reveals how it will work. Raise the food safety standard beyond what anyone could afford, apply onerous rules that impinge even on customers, and drive farmers off their land and out of farming.

Paraphrased from http://www.ftcldf.org/news/news-08Nov2009-5.html

The proposed South Dakota Department of Agriculture rules are barriers-to-entry regulations that will create a defacto ban on the sale of raw milk. They would take away rights given by the legislature by imposing expensive requirements that those dairies wanting to sell raw milk would not be able to afford. The standards required for a permit would include a mechanical bottling machine (handcapping would be prohibited) and a separate facility for bottling; for Grade A licensed dairies a building separate from the milk parlor would be required for bottling. One licensed Grade A dairy farmer currently selling raw milk estimated that if the proposed rules became law, he would have to spend a minimum of $76,000 to be in compliance after figuring the cost of a separate building for bottling, a storage tank for the bottling facility, pumps to move the milk from the parlor to the bottling facility, a mechanical bottling machine and the installation costs.

In addition to equipment and construction requirements, raw milk producers would have to test twice yearly for bovine tuberculosis (TB) and brucellosis; no other State requires testing more than once a year, and the standard for coliform South Dakota has set has proven difficult for California raw milk licensed dairies to meet. Raw milk producers would also be required to maintain customer lists to SDDA upon request. Moreover, “[t]he list must be continually updated and include the data for at least 60 days. This customer list shall include customer names, addresses, phone numbers and quantities of raw milk sold for human consumption.”

The purpose of the proposed rule is not to ensure that safe raw milk is sold; it is an attempt to ensure that no raw milk is sold legally. The proposed rules need to be stopped.

The corporations and ag departments under the USDA urged dairy farmers to expand, got them into debt, and then dropped the prices paid to them (with no protection), until those people are destroyed. They have sold herds and many have committed suicide. Now the same forces are going after the raw milk dairy farmers, the people who stayed small, and did well by just doing business with local people who wanted their product. Yet the corporations and the agencies they control, are doing all they can to get rid of them, too.

Is this how to bring back the US economy?

What the Department of Agriculture in South Dakota is doing is unjust, destroys good jobs during a terrible time in our economy, and threatens local food supplies for communities already hurting. It is the last thing any state should be doing to its own food industry and its citizens.

As to the safety of raw milk, Yale has shown the friendly bacteria found in raw milk (but not in pasteurized milk ) is protective against type 1 diabetes and raw milk used to used by the Mayo clinic to treat diseases (without having passed a single "food safety" standard that South Dakota is promoting).. P. Hall comments:

Raw milk kills E. coli & Listeria when it is produced from cattle grazing on pasture and living in healthy conditions as opposed to those grain fed and living in inhumane stocks. If animal control laws for inhumane treatment were applied to the dairy industry most milk producers would go to jail. It is the inhumane treatment and filthy conditions that allow pathogens to exist. Just common sense. Otherwise how could mankind have subsisted for all eternity on raw milk? And we have.

For dairy farmers, damned if you do, damned if you don't
Milk and the "not about food safety" bills
Beware homemade pie and a glass of milk

Raw milk dairy farmers should be a cause celebre in this country (all local farmers should be) - the people who know how to survive in hard times and can provide food to their neighbors. They are the last people who should be lost.

During a lousy economy, who gets rid of the only functioning part of the dairy industry and of jobs, especially jobs that provide food to people who want it? What is really driving this? The WTO interests appear to be doing to food what the international bankers did to our economy, destroying it here to take global control of it. They are using hygiene in the same false way in Europe and getting rid of farmers intentionally. They want the land. They want CAFOs. They want to be rid of farmers.

The WTO appears to be planning to outsource dairy production to India and China (shipping back milk powder that is then reconstituted) so they can do whatever they want with prices here since we would be solely dependent on foreign milk (and eventually other food). Corporate milk would be even more a "processed" food and thus there would be even more corporate middlemen involved as well as more and more contamination.

Food safety?

South Dakota needs to hear that the whole country stands with them in absolutely protecting their local farmers from such destructive and corrupt regulations. The Department of Agriculture needs to hear that the country sees that their regulations (and S 510) serve only the World Trade Organization, not are not in the interest of people, local communities, states, food security, ... and especially NOT food safety.

Sen Harkin says "DSHEA governs, not Codex"

Earlier today the US Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee, chaired by Senator Tom Harkin met to "mark-up" the (sic) "Food Safety" bill, S.510. While offering lip service to public concerns about protecting family farms and organics, the Chairman made some interesting comments about Codex and DSHEA:

Link to the 11/18/09 HELP Committee “mark-up meeting” –
http://help.senate.gov/Hearings/2009_11_18_E/2009_11_18_E.html

HELP Chairman Sen. Tom Harkin confirmed (about minute 58.5) that Codex Alimentarius (the so-called World Food Code) does not trump the Dietary Supplement Health and Safety Education Act of 1994 (the law that allows the USA to have the most potent nutrients and most vibrant nutrient market in the world) “DSHEA … governs the law here, not Codex standards…”

Chairmen Harkin further stated: the provision in bill that requires FDA to “make recommendations including whether and how to harmonize with Codex does not signal any intent to move in a different direction on DSHEA…”

We are waiting to read the “marked-up bill” to find out if it will in fact protect family farms and organic agriculture. The version of the bill that I reviewed had weaker protections than even the House-passed version.

Only time will tell the value of the Senator’s soothing words about DSHEA.

Round Two - Stop the Shot Federal Case

On October 9, 2009, Dr Gary Null, PhD, Dr. Rima E. Laibow MD and others, including the Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, filed a challenge to the FDA's approval of the H1N1 "Swine Flu" vaccines, based on the NY State health care workers' flu vaccine mandate.

Then the State quickly made our case moot by suspending the mandate! After the Federal Court Judge in Washington DC told us to come back again with new plaintiffs [fn #1] we went to the only other State that appears to have a state-wide flu vaccine mandate, which requires all toddlers (aged 6 months to 5 years) to have an annual flu vaccine.

We reached out to our Health Freedom Action eAlert "Mouse Warriors" and thirteen families volunteered to join Dr. Laibow, Dr. Null and the Foundations. So I thought I'd share some of the comments these good folks made when they told us they were in...

We object the mandatory use of vaccines which we consider harmful to our child’s health. This is just a handout to big Pharma at the expense of our health. Use of squaline and mercury is unacceptable as well as the adverse reactions the vaccines will most assuredly cause.

I object to being forced to give my child flu vaccines. My child's body is growing and I will not consciously put anything in that small body that is a know toxin. I do not want injected in my child - Formaldehyde, Aluminum, and Mercury. There is no guarantee for the flu vaccine's safety and efficacy and they are uninsurable. I believe there are safe, natural, non-toxic alternatives to keeping my child healthy or help the body heal.

We find these vaccines to be dangerous, especially the H1N1 vaccine; they are not tested and they cannot cover the full spectrum of viruses available anyway. We prefer to give the right nutrition to our children and their immune system will know how to handle any sort of viral infections. We are very concerned with this limitation of choices by making the vaccines mandatory.

I object to further vaccinating my son with any vaccines. The ingredients in vaccines are dangerous and among them are known neurotoxins. Mercury has NOT been removed - and where it has been removed or reduced, aluminum has been added, which is just as dangerous. Vaccines have not been adequately tested by unbiased sources. There has never been a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study. Many of the ingredients in each vaccine have never been studied. I feel that our children's immune systems need to develop and acquire immunity naturally. NJ has not taken our children's health and the rising % of autism into account as they carelessly continue to add vaccines to the schedule.

I object to the annual flu vaccine for a variety of reasons. The vaccine should always remain the chose of the parents. The ingredients in the vaccines are unacceptable to us. We feel our children being healthy with strong immune systems are far better that injecting a poorly studied vaccine.

Based on research we do not believe that immunizations offer the protection that they tout, but rather put our child's health at great risk because of the ingredients, additives and preservatives included in the vaccines. We have found no research to show that a vaccinated population fares any better than an unvaccinated population, and in many cases fares worse. We choose to eat natural, organic foods and monitor our and our child's health carefully in consultation with our physicians.

First, I believe that all parents should be entitled to make informed choices about the health of their children - including what, if anything, is injected into their veins -- and am appalled that the State of NJ would even consider (to be the only state in the union) to mandate such a vaccine for such young children - not giving parents the right to choose. Secondly, I do not believe the flu shot to be effective. It is usually formulated at least 18 months before the flu season based on an educated 'guess' about which strain will be active that year, so often it is not the same strain. Thirdly, most flu vaccines are still preserved with mercury-based Thimerosol which I do not believe should be injected into anyone's veins or even come in contact with.

And finally, this note from Dr. Laibow:

"Isn't it curious that NJ has both the nation's highest autism rate and the most mandated childhood vaccines? Any health care researcher, scientist or physician who isn't beholden to the government or the drug companies (or the universities that rely on them for funding) finds this very suggestive of a causal relationship."

Federal Court Tells Us to Come Back Later....

Video Report from the "Stop the Shot" Lawyers -

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxdAdyptvJk

I was in Washington 11/05/09 for the Federal court hearing on standing for the Stop the Shot case, along with Dr. Paul G. King, Leslie Fourton, Esq. (Dr. Gary Null's lawyer) and Jim Turner, Esq. (Foundation for Health Choice attorney).

Judge Reggie Walton did not allow the case to remain in the Federal court at this time. He said that once NY suspended the mandate there was no longer a "case or controversy" under the Federal constitution.

He urged us to participate in the administrative process started by NY to make the mandates permanent and told us we could come back to court if new mandates are enacted.

Further, he did not let us amend the complaint to include the NJ plaintiffs (NJ remains the only state with a flu vaccine mandate, for children under 5) and told us to re-file those claims as a separate case. We are working on that right now... "Round Two" coming up!

We are looking for NJ parents of kids under 5 who are willing to become plaintiffs in the case. Please contact me at ralph.fucetola@usa.net with "NJ Parent" in subject line if you can help.

Here is also an action item NJ parents can use to communicate their willingness to join the case as plaintiffs:
