RIDING THE FREEDOM MOUSE IS QUICK, EASY AND ESSENTIAL TO YOUR HEALTH FREEDOM!

Prevent S. 510 from being passed by the Senate. This Bill will industrialize and institutionalize our entire food supply — threatening natural (including organic), family, community and local gardens and farms — and cannot be allowed to take place. Click here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4252, to take action once for each member of your family. Then, riding your Freedom Mouse, please forward this, and any other Action Items you feel are important enough to act upon, to everyone you can reach electronically with a short note reminding each of your contacts to do the same: take action once for every member of their families, and then forward to THEIR contact.

BAN ALL GMO FOODS NOW AND ESTABLISH A SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM TO FIND OUT WHAT THEIR DAMAGE HAS BEEN AND CORRECT IT BEFORE THERE IS NO RETURN FROM UNIVERSAL GMO CONTAMINATION! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049

And remember, health freedom is anything but free! We need your continuing tax deductible donations, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189, to:

1. Stay in the Codex flow for you
2. Continue our critically important litigation to control the FDA and make it conform to US law (novel idea!)
3. Research and communicate to you what we find about health and health freedom: the good, the bad and the very, very ugly
4. Create Action Steps which impact policy
5. Maintain our network of action around the world
6. Help to reclaim the production of clean, unadulterated food world wide
7. All the other things that the Natural Solutions Foundation does for you and for health freedom, world-wide.

We know that the economy has been torpedoed and that money is tight. Does that make health freedom any less worthwhile! Please donate here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189.

AND NOW ON TO THE CODEX MEETING MACHINATIONS…

Codex has steadfastly refused to define consensus since by NOT having it defined, the Chair of a Codex session can declare just about anything that he/she wants to be approved as “approved by consensus”. Occasionally, of course, the delegates have come to a boiling point and raise such a ruckus that even the most audacious misuse of the concept of consensus fails. One such ruckus occurred the other day during the shameful attempt of this body, at the behest of the US, of course, to force the use of the dangerous and unnecessary drug Ractopamine™ on the food of an unwilling world. Another occurred, I am proud to say, when the Natural Solutions Foundation mobilized widespread opposition for the US-led attempt to put high levels of the metabolic poison fluoride in infant formula. More opposition of this coordinated sort is, of course a real danger to the globalists who seek to use Codex as their tool for control and depopulation.

Codex clearly realizes that the ability of the Natural Solutions Foundation to mobilize that sort of support and opposition is a significant reality and the abusive response of this corrupt and dangerous organization makes that quite clear.

Not able/willing to define “consensus” after 48 years of existence, the gentleman presenting at the front of the room has done it for this august body: he just announced, without any support from anyone, that WHO’s efforts on nutrition will not get universal agreement (a reasonable definition of consensus, I think you will agree) so WHO will not regard 75% agreement as “consensus”. That is rather staggering for an organization which presents itself as consensus-based, don’t you think? We do. And we think that it illustrates the corruption and disingenuousness of the deliberations, decisions and directions of this body.

We are, as I mentioned, sitting in the upper gallery of a nearly empty Codex meeting where we have been forced by aggressive guards.

IMG_0894

General Stubblebine and I are so appalled at Codex’s continuing abuse of you, the food consuming stakeholders that we have written an Open Letter to the Codex Executive Committee which you can read here, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5900. (Please come back after you read it!)

At the front of the empty room is a delegate talking about the establishment of a system for nutritional scientific guidance. He has extensive slides on the screen which document and expand what he is saying, which is, presumably, of enormous importance to the life and health of every consumer on the planet. General Stubblebine and I, here to represent and present YOUR interests, have been relegated to an upper gallery from which it is not possible to see the slides.

IMG_0897

Nor is it possible to work under ordinary conditions of comfort and appropriate facilities although they exist in this room (but now where we are!)IMG_0899:

You know that the US forbids the labeling of GMO “foods” while the EU has insisted on just such labeling. Well, no more. Yesterday, the European Parliament took an action which bring it closer to the food degradation of the US: From now on –

1. It will not longer be necessary to label GMO foods, including animals which have been fed GMO plants) as it has been previously and

2. Individual member states (formerly known as sovereign countries, you understand) will now be permitted to make their own decisions about whether to plant GMO crops and grow GMO animals.

Both of these actions are disastrous for health and well-being of the population, which is EXACTLY why they have been adopted, of course. GMO food and feed contaminates everything it touches. Since there are no meaningful boundaries or borders between one European country and another, the inevitable contamination and dominance of GMO crops is assured by this decision. Equally assured is the disastrous, but totally untraceable, health problems which await European eaters, useless or otherwise.

I received an immediate flurry of emails from European colleagues who understood how cataclysmically awful this was for their countries. I reminded each of them that under the coercive (and probably not legal) “Treaty of Lisbon” terms (which illegally adopted the European Union Constitution), a demand by 1 million EU citizens could force a reopening of the the issue being protested by these 1 million people.

Now 1 million is not bad and is eminently achievable. For that reason, the Natural Solutions Foundation will work with every European group which would like our organizational assistance. Please contact me at dr.laibow[at]gmail.com with “EU” as the subject line and the Trustees will do everything possible to support your redress of this vast error.

And if you want to help the “citizens” of the EU reclaim their food and health freedoms, join our forum at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSF-EU

On a brighter note, the same day that traceability of GMO foods was wiped out, the same body rejected cloned meat, milk and other “foods” for human consumption in Europe. While we certainly do not endorse cloned food, it is odd that the known dangers of GMOs were accepted but the emotionally repugnant idea of cloned food. I cannot see any logic in accepting unlabeled poisons for humans while protecting them from replicated DNA. Logically, both should have been rejected roundly, soundly and permanently.

This brings us to the argument that the Natural Solutions Foundation is making that the US MUST be taken out of Codex. Although its structure may be crumbling and the cables that hold it up, so to speak, are fraying, Codex sets enormous amounts of food policy which is only allegedly “voluntary”. The US mis-uses every bit of its trade and scientific cachet here at Codex and makes huge strides, meeting by meeting, to use food for political gain and industry profit. Please visit http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5509, watch my video on getting the US out of Codex and then take our survey there to tell us if you agree or disagree.

Then, let’s get busy actually GETTING the US out of Codex — for the good of the whole world!

The malignant US impact on “food” around the world and of the US is enormous but, through their strong-arm “leadership” at Codex, it is all the more powerful. It is a primary reason I have called Codex “certifiably insane.” Although these actions were taken outside of Codex, the dirty hand of the US is all over this one. The Natural Solutions Foundation believes that, just as defeating the Fake Food Safety Bill, S. 510 will not stop the efforts of the Uber-Cartel to capture food, but it will weaken and disorganize it considerably, making it far easier to deal with, so getting the US out of Codex will do the same.

If ever there was an opportunity to deflect and defeat the globalists plans, it is now, centering around the control and contamination of food. We have a powerful opportunity for action here. Inaction, however, can kill huge numbers of us.

Yours in health and freedom,

Your generosity and support sends Natural Solutions Foundation to a variety of Codex meetings around the world. Right now General Bert and I are in Geneva Switzerland. We left our home at the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project in Volcan, Panama, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, to get on a plane to Panama City, then another one to Madrid and another one to Genva two days ago so that by the time we reached Switzerland we had not slept for about 48 hours. Why didn’t we take a quicker, more direct route? Because neither General Stubblebine nor I am willing to expose our bodies to the radiation hazard of full body scanners and neither Madrid nor Geneva airports use full body scanners.

We got to Geneva and continued our preparation for the meeting. You see, in order bring you intelligent, meaningful and precise information in our daily video and written reports and later create meaningful strategies to deal with Codex and its dangers, we need to do a major amount of planning and preparation.

Codex is designed to be overwhelmingly complex, detail driven and difficult to comprehend because the technical level of the considerations is so enormously demanding if you are going to understand it all. Delegates are just supposed to be so overwhelmed that they simply sink into a lulled position in which whatever the US or EU says is what they go along with, sort of like the courtiers just letting the red queen do what she likes in Alice and Wonderland because it is so much easier and safer.

But at Codex, as in so many other urgently important situations, the devil really IS in the details. Consider:

There are 15 Committee Reports to be studied from major codex Committees (http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/archives.jsp) for the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) session starting on Monday, July 5.

The Report of the Codex Executive Committee has 28 pages

The Committee on Food Labeling has 58 pages

The Committee on Contaminants in Foods has 69 pages

and so on through the 15 committees presenting their items for discussion at the CAC.

Potentially buried in each one of the clauses, phrases, reports and agenda items is a time bomb that can, despite its innocuous language, kill people through the implications and permissions granted via its legalese.

Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) and GMO labeling are excellent, but by no means unique, examples. Both of these issues are highly technical and both, if carried out as the US desires, would lead to highly undesirable outcomes. NRVs are daily intake values of nutrients so low that they actually introduce and make permanent, the under-nutrition which WHO and FAO point out as the primary cause of the non-communicable, preventable, degenerative killer diseases: cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Misleading consumers into believing that their processed food provides adequate levels of vital nutrients, the NRVs are both a biochemical absurdity and an atrocity since they will, through their use on labels, lead people to believe that since their food is providing most or all of the NRVs, it provides the nutrients they need for a healthy life.

NRVs have been winding their way through the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) and the Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL). When South Africa was discussing them in 2005 at CCNFSDU, Dr. Grossklaus, the Chairman cut the delegate off at the knees when she mentioned “optimal nutrition” and said “It would be nice if Codex were about nutrition, but it isn’t. It’s about trade!” But most delegates have no idea what biochemical individuality is about, why high potency nutrients save lives, money and misery and the discussions must include the technical issues of the Codex texts and committee which are dealing with NRVs, their status in the CAC, etc. To learn more about where this nutrients as toxins, nutrients as controlled substances, idea in Codex, click here to watch “Nutricide”: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634#.

GMO labeling is another example, as is whether Codex should define consensus or a code of ethics for codex participants. In these discussions and decisions, information lies which could, going in one direction, change history and survival for good and, going in the other direction, could do exactly the opposite.

Each Agenda Item rests on a multi-year background with a huge pile of data and debate behind it. Having that perspective is essential to informed, effective dialogue with the delegates at Codex and in their home countries. And that is what we do at Codex! We take your interests, and those of well-nourished, autonomous, food independent people and “bang them against” what Codex is doing. The lives of food producers, food consumers and the planet turn on these tiny nuances since all of the Codex documents are written in such a way as to lull you into a fluorided haze of complacency. There is, however, nothing to be complacent about.

There is also nothing worth participating in at Codex. It is my contention that the United States needs to get out of Codex and do it now. We will lose nothing and grain a great deal, I believe, by loosening the hold that we have allowed the World Trade Organization, WHO, to place on us through trade agreements that can only inevitably degrade our food and our health unless we follow the Codex Two Step Process, as other nations have done successfully. If we were out of Codex, I believe that two things would happen:

First, it would be a great deal easier for interested parties to apply pressure to force the US to deviate from the Codex guidelines and standards since we would not have teams of experts ramming these guidelines and standards through Codex and, second, we would not be twisting and distorting the entire Codex process, making the decisions that the US wants, not the ones that protect the farmers, the consumers and the earth. By the way, the Developed World is one of the major consumers of third world-produced toxic food. Here is the link to my video:

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5509

and here is the link to the Survey in which you tell us if you think that the US should get out of Codex:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/questionnaire.jsp?questionnaire_KEY=1042

There are at least a hundred equally vital items before the CAC this week. They would be far better decided by the national competencies of the countries rather than by the “bully of the class” threatening the other kids in the class with the active and vigorous help of the corrupt and self interested “teacher”, WHO, a corrupt and genocidal organization which acknowledges that it wants to see the population of the earth reduced by a minimum of 80%, better 90%!

So what we do is prepare for the topics of greatest interest to you and to the developing world’s delegates, mingle with delegates and share our perspectives on these topics and provide leadership for dissent strategies. Then, very importantly, we offer them information on how they can increase crop yield, decrease food born illness, and, in reality, actually accomplish exactly what Codex says it is about.

And we report. After each day’s meetings, we make sure that you know what the highlights (and low points) of the day’s proceedings have been, what they mean for you, what they mean for the dangerous forward movement of “HARMonization” by the US and how to protect ourselves, our health and our health freedom.

Attending Codex is really hard work. We do it for you, with your support because it is hugely important. At the end of a Codex meeting we are exhausted. Then we fly home to Panama to put the things we are teaching the developing world into practice.

Our Natural Solutions Center will be opening at the Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project in Volcan, Panama, on August 7/8, 2010. You are invited. Please join us for this important step forward. You can see the health protocols that we plan to offer if you visit www.DrRima.net. And you can be with us for the initiation of what is, in essence, the exact opposite of what Codex is about. We’ll be living, teaching, sharing and creating clean food and vital freedom through education and dissemination, demonstration and direction.

For more information on the Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project, how you can participate in it, live there, work there, safeguard your retirement income there and otherwise be a huge part of this innovative freedom project, please visit www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org. And if you would like to join our very active NSF-Panama Forum on Yahoo.com, please visit http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NSF-Panama/join to become part of this vital community while you still can.

And, oh, yes, don’t forget that the limited supply of our amazing Valley of the Moon™ Coffee is available for you now. If you want premium Panamanian Highland coffee grown without a single chemical contaminant, you need to place your order before it is all gone. Don’t forget your corporate gifts this holiday season and your personal ones. Order now and we will make sure that your recipients are not left out in the gift-giving cold this year! Make your tax deductible donation and get what we believe you will agree is the best coffee you have ever tasted at www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org.

Because of high winds, we had to cut down 80% of our plants to allow them to regrow so this scarce beauty of a coffee is even scarcer. Our harvest is magnificent, but the best coffee in the world, and the cleanest, is even more rare than last year! We have not raised the price of a donation, but make sure you get as much as you need before there is no more left this year.

And, as hard as it is, thanks for sending us to Codex. We still need your donations to finish defraying the cost (Geneva, Switzerland is a very expensive place!)

Yours in health and freedom,

Cognitive Enhancement Nutrition: Empower Your Mind!

Dr. Rima and Gen. Bert love these leading-edge products… Control your own mind! Feed your brain what it needs for discernment and acuity… “These are the times that try men’s souls…” Are you ready?

Dr. Rima has designed a third, very special Dietary Supplement Mind Enhancement Pack!
To learn more, or to try the products, go to:

Cognitive Enhancement

“News & Specials” lista the three Dr. Rima Packs For more Details about the Packs:

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4558

You know there is a battle going on for your mind (or maybe against it!). Part of the Globalist Agenda to reduce human population and restrict our freedoms goes on in our own heads, as we are subjected to a level of propaganda that can only be termed “mind controlling.” Its success depends on making sure that we are dumb, dull, deluded and distracted….

See the video interview with Dr. Rima and Gen. Bert
http://www.youtube.com/v/_FL3SKYVEwE

Let me quote General Bert, “‘Focus and clarity’ were the words Ralph used to describe the Cognitive Enhancement nutrients, and that is exactly what I experienced. Both my long and short term memory are enhanced by these products and my thinking processes are noticeably sharper. I am very impressed and intend to continue using them.”

There are numerous smart nutrients, but few of them, working synergistically, have the capability of doing what these products actually do. In this battle to take back our food, our health and our freedoms, we must all be as mentally sharp as possible. That is why the genocidal elitists want us under-nourished and unable to think. I was so impressed with these products that I immediately began to study them and their impact. I researched the ingredients and am satisfied that there is no indication of a lack safety when used as directed. That’s when I decided to create combination packs that would support mental function without agitating; would enhance cognition without later let-down. Dr. Rima

If you’ve had problems placing orders for these extraordinary nutrients, we’ve set up a special email address for you to use; just email your contact information and we’ll have you called back right away!

Push Back Victory! “Wall Street Reform” Law Does NOT Include FTC Power Grab!

PUSH BACK Victory!
“Wall Street Reform” Bill to be Signed by President –
Does Not Include FTC Power Enhancement

We warned about the potential for a general grant of FTC “rule making” authority to restrict our access to natural solutions — to nutrients and remedies — under the guise of “consumer protection” which would create such barriers in the marketplace as to destroy the generally small producers of natural products.

OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND MOUSE WARRIOR EMAILS STOP THE FTC POWER GRAB!

The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173), adopted by the House of Representatives and by the Senate as S.3217, could have include language — offered by Rep. Waxman [D - CA] — giving more power to the Federal Trade Commission to make “general rules” for interstate commerce that could have been used to restrict truthful information about dietary supplements, by requiring expensive, “drug company” level clinical trials before vitamin companies could make claims about their products. This “reform” could have handed-over the natural products industry to Big Pharma, which, over the past few years, has bought up most of the larger industrialized vitamin companies. The new rules could have been a “barrier against entry” driving many smaller companies out of business.

Instead, reports are, the final bill to be signed by the President does NOT include such general rule-making power.

Please continue to provide your generous support for efforts like this! We need your help and rely on it to achieve victories like this! http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

Dr. Wakefield is a British gastroenterologist who noted a relationship between digestive problems in autistic children and the persistence of measles virus from vaccines.  When he published a study in the Lancet to strong aclaim, a breakthrough in Autism seemed close.  Big Pharma took defensive action including Lancet’s nearly unprecedented retraction of Dr. Wakefield’s article, the loss of his medical license and vicious disinformation attacks.  Dr. Wakefield will be our guest from 10 to 11 PM.  You will want to hear this interview and ask your questions.

Health Freedom Isn’t Free and, Right Now, We Are Fighting For YOUR Health Freedom on a Large Number of Health Freedom Fronts.  Natural Solutions Foundation is Litigating, or Preparing, 5 Law Suits Against US Government Agencies.  We’re Preparing to Go to Codex.  We’re Doing Research, Reclaiming Clean Food, And On and On!  We Need Your Recurring Tax Deductible Support For Our Many Health Freedom Activities:

1. Send NSF to the Codex Alimentarius Commission
July 5-9, Geneva, Switzerland

The next Codex meeting we’ll attend is the Codex Alimetarius Commission, which will take place in Geneva from July 5 – 9, 2010.  You want us to be there for you so we are prepared to go.  That means that we are asking you, once again, to reach into your pockets and pay what you can – that is, donate what you think having our eyes and ears, brains and voices at Codex is worth to you.  Every donation is 100% tax deductible.  You’ll be donating, too, to support our vitally important litigation program, our research work, our radio show and all of the other work that we do for you. 

Did you know that 100% of your donations go to furthering our work?  No NGO has a higher ratio of donations to program because that’s as high as you can go! Since the Trustees take no salaries and all overhead is donated, what you are getting for your donation is health freedom fighting, pure and simple.  What is that worth? I would say it is priceless, but you can put an affordable price on what your support will be.  Please give whatever you can, but give generously when you set up your recurring donation here, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

2. Continue the Offensive Litigation and Legal Actions Against Compromised,
Corrupt and Dangerous Federal Agencies (like FDA, EPA, CDC, etc.)

Two self-proclaimed friends of supplements, Senators Harkin and Hatch have introduced a new bill increasing FDA funding! That’s right!  Their idea?  Give the FDA MORE power to abuse.

This after a record 23% increase in FDA funding last year! We kid you not. This next-in-line bad bill is called the Dietary Supplement Full Implementation and Enforcement Act of 2010 and even “natural products” business groups are supporting it! See:

http://www.npainfo.org/index.php?src=news&srctype=detail&category=pressreleases10&refno=252

— we suspect there is some strategy in play here where our friends think that they can stave off harsher regulation by offering their own bill – assuming that they are still our friends, that is. We respectfully disagree. Unbridled Power is never decreased by authorizing more tax funds! As Ludwig Mises said, “Ever government intervention requires another government intervention”.  And the history of health-related interventions in the US is that it results in illness and death.  We certainly do not need more of that!

Just in case the FDA strikes you as a bunch of good guys, recall that Natural Solutions Foundation is suing them in

1. The Stop the Shot Case to prevent the deployment of ALL influenza vaccines

2. The Ear Candling Case to prevent giving the FDA a precedent to simply kill any and all natural health strategies

and the Natural Solutions Foundation is considering becoming involved in several more.

1. BAN GMOs NOW!

Nano Silver and Mold

Read Dr. Rima’s Is Nano Silver Under the Gun Because It IS the Magic Bullet?

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5343

Cryptococcus gattii appears to be the latest genetically engineered killer organism.  It is a killer mold altered to have a kill rate of 50%  of those who develop symptoms, usually months after exposure.  Conventional medicine has no way to treat the infection once symptoms appear. If this mold responds to Nano Silver as part of its biological terrain as well as we believe that it should, Nano Silver may be a VERY useful nutrient to have on hand!

Going to Codex

Send NSF to Codex


We attended Codex for you in May in Quebec City, Canada giving you daily video updates.  Now, we wonder… should the US get out of Codex and use the
Codex Two Step Process, http://www.youtube.com/naturalsolutions#p/search/0/6QNg3MD6BxM,  to correct the many errors of Codex.  Of course, we expect that there would be far fewer errors if the US were not there leading Codex into the genocidal degradation of food.  By the way, you can find our Codex eBook, which demonstrates how the Codex Two Step Process works here,

You know there is a battle going on for your mind (or maybe against it!). Part of the Globalist Agenda to reduce human population and restrict our freedoms goes on in our own heads, as we are subjected to a level of propaganda that can only be termed “mind controlling.” Its success depends on making sure that we are dumb, dull, deluded and distracted….

See the video interview with Dr. Rima and Gen. Bert:
http://www.youtube.com/v/_FL3SKYVEwE

Let me quote General Bert, “‘Focus and clarity’ were the words Ralph used to describe the Cognitive Enhancement nutrients, and that is exactly what I experienced. Both my long and short term memory are enhanced by these products and my thinking processes are noticeably sharper. I am very impressed and intend to continue using them.”

There are numerous smart nutrients, but few of them, working synergistically, have the capability of doing what these products actually do. In this battle to take back our food, our health and our freedoms, we must all be as mentally sharp as possible. That is why the genocidal elitists want us under-nourished and unable to think. I was so impressed with these products that I immediately began to study them and their impact. I researched the ingredients and am satisfied that there is no indication of a lack safety when used as directed. That’s when I decided to create combination packs that would support mental function without agitating; would enhance cognition without later let-down.  Dr. Rima

Does Wall Street “Reform” Threaten DSHEA Products?

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Natural Solutions Foundation
The Voice of Global Health Freedom™
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org
www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org

Does Wall Street “Reform” Threaten DSHEA Products?

As most health freedom advocates know, the two most powerful “consumer protection” Federal agencies, the FDA and the FTC are not friendly toward natural products, including dietary supplements protected by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). Before that law, such products were under severe attack, so much so that FTC sought in 1975 to use its rule making power to effectively ban such products. By 1980 the public outcry caused Congress to restrict that power, and then in 1994 DSHEA was adopted, protecting our right to truthful information about nutrition.

Thus when a number of astute “old hands” in the industry said the new Wall Street “reform” * bill had language hidden in it that could threaten natural products with new general rule making power for the FTC to abuse.

We’ve opposed this bill on that basis, with many thousands of messages to Congress demanding protection in the bill for DSHEA products.

See: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3142

Now along come some suggesting there is no problem here (somewhat the way some “old hands” thought John McCain’s justly maligned and now happily defunct “Dietary Supplement Safety” bill, S.3002 was no threat). We’re told there is no FTC empowerment language. We did our due diligence and researched the actual bill, S.3217. Go to www.Thomas.gov and put in the bill number, open up the .pdf version and search for the name “Federal Trade Commission.”

You’ll find what I found:

I’ve reviewed the 1522 page .pdf file of the version of the bill considered by the US Senate. The terms “Federal Trade Commission” occurs on 26 pages. Five pages discuss FTC authority.

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:s3217as.txt.pdf

Page 1375 contains the smoking gun:

“(C) CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN COMMISSION AUTHORITIES. —
Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (B), the Federal Trade Commission shall continue to have authority to enforce, and issue rules with respect to—
(i) the Credit Repair Organizations Act (15 U.S.C. 1679 et seq.);
(ii) section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45) * and
(iii) the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act (155 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.).”

Section 45 of Title 15 states:

“Unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful. ”

Notice how carefully the new law is stated, “continue to have authority to enforce, and issue rules…” — so it will “continue to have authority to enforce…” — notice carefully how it is worded, “…, and issue rules…” Thus “continue” applies to enforcing existing rules, dating from the 1970s or issued under limited laws passed by Congress (as they have done with regard to, for example, direct marketing) while “issue rules” is a new power which relates, tucked in section (ii) to the agency’s general Section 5 authority!

So FTC now has authority to enforce and issue rules with respect to “unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce…”

That is general authority to control all interstate commerce without further authorization from Congress!

I therefore conclude that the bill does threaten natural and DSHEA products.

One of my colleagues, Counsel Jim Turner of Swankin and Turner, Washington DC attorneys, puts it this way:

“My understanding is that the FTC was stripped of this authority in 1980 and this is an effort to restore that authority. It has broad implication for example if what I understand is true then this is the authority that FTC used in its effort to ban the words ‘organic, natural and health food’ from all commerce. It is not good if this is happening.”

Please continue to keep the pressure on Congress; we’ve revised the Action Item, telling our representatives that there is still time to get it right, in the conference committee that will shortly consider the bill.
