In brief, CODEX is conspiracy of major international drug cartel to control every drug, medication, herb, pill, remedy, etc., that we take, be it Echinacea tea or even mint we grow in our back yard to add to our apple jelly when we do home canning. A link to information on CODEX appears at bottom of this article, and if you value your local health food store and your ability to go to that store to purchase herbal dietary supplements and over-the-counter-remedies such as aspirin, Tylenol, cough syrups, throat lozenges, etc., then not only read on but take some positive action.

What makes CODEX so insidious is that it is now law in both Germany and Norway. At present time, as an example, limit to vitamin C you can purchase is 30 each 50 mg tablet, a 1-month supply at 1-a-day, for equivalent of $60 USD.

If you currently take any supplements or vitamins or natural health products your choices will soon dwindle to a handful of products and those left will be triple price you pay now and be available only at useless dosages.

If you are Canadian, help us and your fellow Canadians by actively supporting your right to choice and your right to take care of your own body. If you are American, help your fellow Americans actively supporting your right to choice and your right to take care of your own body, and to keep CODEX out of US – petition your federal congressmen and senators, petition your state representatives and senators, even petition drug companies to help fight CODEX. And by all means, send this message to everyone on your email list – awareness is half battle.

Do you smoke? Need an incentive to quit? Do you have pets? Then that beloved pet just might be incentive you need to stop.

Researchers at University of Massachusetts have discovered that pets are affected by second-hand smoke.

Cats living with a smoker are two times more likely to get feline lymphoma than one that's not. After five years rate increases to three times as likely. When there are two smokers in home, chances of a cat getting feline lymphoma increases to four times as likely and after five years, three times rate of cats living in smokefree homes.

Dogs living in a smoking household have a 60 percent risk of getting lung cancer.

Long-nosed dogs, such as collies or greyhounds, are twice as likely to develop nasal cancer if they live with smokers.

Pets of all sizes and ages are affected. But especially small pets, very young and old.

Second-hand smoke contributes to a other pet ills as well. As a smoker exhales, air is filled with poisonous fumes.
