What is CODEX and why would this drastically change how I use vitamins/minerals/supplements?

Once you understand how insidious CODEX is, and you understand that we must win this battle now, not this fall, not next year, but NOW, or we will have lost forever. Once World Health Organization (WHO) succeeds in passing CODEX all signatory nations, under existing treaties, must make this “the law of land” and our rights to go to local health food store and choose our own alternative herbals and dietary supplements will be gone forever. Why? Because Canada and US are signatories to WHO and must implement all such regulations into law.

Our only chance to defeat CODEX is to succeed in passing bill C-420 in Canada before legislature takes their summer break. And in having such an uproar of populace in US that US will not dare to try to implement CODEX. But it must be done now, not later.

For your personal nutritional needs, however, there remains a small hope and help: in form of Bio88+ Plus.

The truly neat thing about Bio88+ Plus is that it is a complete, 100% vegetarian (fruits, vegetables, grains, etc) derived, organic greens food product which contains no herbs. Regardless of what happens with CODEX, our local Health Food Stores and our private Herb Gardens, Bio88+ Plus will continue to be available because it is a highly nutritious and complete food product full of vitamins and minerals, is not an herb product, and will not be affected by CODEX.

Smoke can damage sensitive lungs in a pet. Additionally, noxious fumes can cause a cold that can lead to more serious, life-threatening conditions.

Smoke inhalation quickly irritates an animal's throat because animals have a shorter esophagus than humans.

Just as smoke affects furniture, rugs, curtains, etc. smoke also affects a pet's living quarters and gets into pet's fur and skin. A cats hair continuously traps large quantities of smoke particles just like drapery, furniture and clothing. The cat sniffs and inhales these concentrated particles from his fur while grooming which leads to lymphoma in nasal passages and intestines as well as chest.

Some pets are allergic to smoke.

Animals have a very acute sense of smell and odor of smoke is very offensive to them.

Nicotine is a highly toxic chemical. Some pets may suffer effects of nicotine poisoning when exposed to high concentrations.

If a pet has respiratory allergies such as asthma, illness is going to be worsened by constantly breathing second hand smoke.

Respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and a collapsing trachea are most common possible causes of a chronic cough in dogs. The constant irritation eventually causes trachea to lose its round open shape. It begins to collapse resulting in even more coughing and irritation, and to an untreatable, intolerable condition usually leading to euthanasia.

So next time you light up, think of air that your beloved pet is being forced to inhale.
