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.
Dr. Rima continues to write about the the machinations at Codex here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5821 and here is part of what she had to say:
"...Why the Codex Apple? The apple suggests wholesome food.
Nothing could be further from the truth. As if to underscore the destruction of the world's food supply, the 33rd Meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, July 5-9, 2010 (Geneva, Switzerland) approved a standard for apples which permits not more than 5% of the apples to be composed of ACTIVLY FEEDING INSECTS!

When India and other countries protested that this unprecedented approval of filth as "food" would lead to poor quality and inedible food being dumped in the poorest nations, the Secretariat clarified that this standard permits FEEDING insects, not PEST insects. Despite the strong protest expressed by numerous countries, large and small, the US, EU, Argentina, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, the countries least likely to wind up with these insects on their dinner plates, bulled their approval through with the complicity of the Codex Commission Chairperson, the US's Karen Hullebeck.

Everything else done by this Codex session continues to degrade the world's food supply despite the continuing, but continually ignored, protests of the developing world.

Have An Apple, My Brown-Skinned Friend!"
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.
Dr. Rima's Daily Video Reports tell the whole story: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5821.
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:
and here is the link to the Survey in which you tell us if you think that the US should get out of Codex:

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 importanty, 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 opposit 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.
You will be astounded by the events that have been taking place at the Codex meeting... and, of course, we've been isolated and restricted by "The Powers That Be" -- but worry not, our voices are being heard.
Please take a look at Dr. Rima's Daily Codex Videos at:
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5821.
And two hard-hitting blog entries:
Gen. Bert on Science and Codex - http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5874
Dr. Rima on Codex and Death - http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5879.
Once you've taken a look at the videos and blog entries, I am sorry to say that you are likely to agree with Dr. Rima: "Codex is certifiably insane... so it's time for the US to get out of Codex since the presence of the Federal agencies and their Big Biz controllers makes Codex more insane - and more dangerous - every year."
And, as hard as it is on us, thank you for sending us to Codex.  We still need your donations to finish defraying the cost (Geneva, Switzerland, is a very expensive place!) so please, please help today:

Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima and General Bert
