Educational Video's on Our Health & Future Freedoms

If you like facts here are some terrific video's explaining what's been going on in our pharmaceutical industry, health care practices, our food industry, and provides some ideas on how you can begin to take control of your future health...

Prescription for Disaster is an in-depth investigation into the symbiotic relationships between the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, lobbyists, lawmakers, medical schools, and researchers, and the impact this has on consumers and their health care. During this thorough investigation, we take a close look at patented drugs, why they are so readily prescribed by doctors, the role insurance companies and HMO's play in promoting compliance, and the problem of rising health care costs. We examine the marketing and public relations efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies, including sales reps, medical journals and conferences.

Further, we look at alternatives to traditional pharmacology and drug therapy, such as vitamins and nutritional supplements, and why they are often perceived as a competitive threat to the drug manufacturers. Alternative therapies also include diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

Prescription for Disaster takes you on a journey through the tangled web of big business, the way disease is treated today, and the consequences we suffer as a society.


Length of video 1hour 30 minutes.

If you have trouble believing that our health freedoms will be striped before our eyes in 2009-2010 may I recommend takng a look at this...

New Yorkers' Access to Supplements Under Attack - and Consumers Fight Back!

For release: March 30, 2007

March, 2007 - In the March issue of Nutrition Industry Executive magazine (http://vitaminretailer.com/NIE/2007/03/NIE0307FirstWord-WhatHappensNewYork.htm), James Gormley reports that there are four new bills in New York State that have been introduced by NY State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D-51st District) - six if you count two companion bills in the NY Senate. These bills take aim at consumers by targeting all supplement companies that sell into New York, which is virtually every manufacturer that exists; if passed, they would set an example certain to spread to other states. Earlier this month Citizens for Health mobilized its members in New York, and so far 1000 citizen activists have made their voices heard in opposition to this bill.

New Yorkers, tell your representatives to vote "No"!

The following is a list of the bills and what they entail:

Bill A3944 would require "that anyone selling dietary supplements that make health or appearance claims possess competent and scientific evidence substantiating those claims"; it would also require a warning statement on the product label or "handout" if the product claim is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Bill A4014 would prevent school employees, especially coaches, from recommending dietary supplements to students and would require schools to warn students of the risks of supplements.

Bill A3357 would establish a dietary supplements safety committee that would, apparently, create "adequate standards and enforcement for manufacturing, safety and effectiveness" of dietary supplements.

Bill A2068 would require labeling to indicate which products have been tested by the FDA for "purity."

If enacted, these bills would:

a. Create a completely unnecessary layer of bureaucracy at the state level (attempting to usurp Federal powers)
b. Limit consumers' access, and interfere with their right, to important information about supplements
c. Place an unnecessary economic burden on the nutritional and dietary supplement industry and its customers without providing any additional value to consumers.

These bills are not just bad for consumers of natural products---they are bad for the state of New York, and would set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the country.

For example, A3944 would promote a different, unwarranted, and unnecessary double standard for dietary supplement makers who sell products in New York. The costs of compliance would drive up the costs of products for the millions of consumers statewide who depend upon inherently safe supplements for health and well-being. It would also force many manufacturers to relocate to other states, while those who remain would pass their greater costs on down to consumers, forcing those same consumers to, in turn, look to other states for the supplements upon which they depend. And, if this policy spreads to the United States as a whole, there won't be any other states left to which to turn!

We at Citizens for Health join with the National Nutritional Foods Association-East in strongly opposing these bills, and urge you to tell your friends and family in New York State to do the same.

At best, they are unnecessary because sufficient regulations, enforcement and oversight already exist at the Federal level, like the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). At worst and realistically, the bills are burdensome and have the potential to create a confusing and unfairly hostile environment for supplements in New York State that would be used as a precedent for the establishment of similar regulations across the country.

~ Contact NY State Representatives and anyone else who can make a difference. Remember, we are up against very large companies and it ain't going to be easy winning this battle... but it will be worth the effort.

If the above isn't enough to set you into action, take a look at this video...

The Codex Alimentarius is a threat to the freedom of people to choose natural healing and alternative medicine and nutrition. Ratified by the World Health Organization, and going into Law in the United States in 2009, the threat to health freedom has never been greater.

This is the first part of a series of talks by Dr. Rima Laibow MD, available on DVD from the Natural Solutions Foundation, an non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about how to stop Codex Alimentarius from taking away our right to freely choose nutritional health.


Length 40 minutes.

And, if you really feel like getting up to speed on just how widespread these large companies are going to be controlling your life, your kids lives, and your grandchildrens lives, take a look at this video...

The Future of Food - A Very Important Documentary about the ills of corporate food production. As is typically the case with corporations, it's Quantity over Quality. GM foods are unnecessary and no corporation is really going to feed third world nations. It's a scam to increase corporate hegemony at the cost of humanity. What Nature does, humans haven't even begun to understand, yet we're modifying and engineering what took millions of years of evolution to come about. A recipe for disaster!



Very slowly, over the course of generations, we have been conditioned to fall into line like little ducks in a row. I'm not about to give up my natural and alternative health choices. Those choices have served me well for 50 years and I'm not about to let them go. The ingredients are ones my ancestors evolved with, my body recognizes and knows how to process them. I am not about to give up something that valuable for some synthetic or chemical that ultimately lines someones pocket who doesn't give a hoot about me or you.

Please do what you can to make a difference before it is too late. CODEX is literally right around the corner and it will happen unless we find a way to stop it.

To "our" freedoms!
