And these people are frauds why? Details please.

In the past two days I have visted a few sites linked from this group
some are harmless nut cases some seem to offer reasonable advice. But
some are just evil. I mean fancy advocating not vaccinating children
against lethal ilnesses. Why? It seems so they can make money pushing
usless alternatives. Should children die just so those people can make
a few (well maybe more than a few) dollars?

Have any off you people here ever seen a child with Polio? I have. It's
not pretty. When I was young doctors were just starting to get a handle
on such things. They used vaccines. I'm glad I wasn't born 10 years
earlier. Please note I don't know the dates of the vaccine roll outs or
details of such. I could look it up if anyone wants me to. I just know
that illnesses I heard of when I was young I don't hear about anymore.
So if I am a few years out I apologise.

Oh yeah some of the sites I saw about so called "cancer cures" were
pretty sus as well. Hulda Clarke? Is that right? Anyone heard of her?
What a loon. Zappers and parasites and flukes etc. Geeze. She must
laugh herself shitless all the way to the bank. If you don't know about
her google. Or ask and I will for you.

This is deep stuff people. Watch out. Not everything you read on the
internet is true or safe. In fact some of it is downright criminal Or
should be if it isn't.

Does it bother you that progress has not been made on this or any other
natural alternative/cure because it doesn't make $.

I take vitamins, realize and understand their significance. The reason I
take them is if I miss a meal or a week of quality nutritional intake (and
that happens very often) I got some reserves stored for my immunity. But
vitamins are to help and to maintain. Also, I do not buy $90 monthly supply
of vitamins at my friend's vitamin store. He told me to save some money and
go to Costco to get $10 yearly supply of them. Call him a bad businessman,
but I respect that he does not want to gyp his friends.

I've heard all vitamin C is about the same no matter where you get them
from. You kinda addressed my point. Some interesting literature in the
50's about the curative properties on polio and heart disease with
vitamin C and then once the patent ended so did the studies.

Hmm, interesting point about patents and studies. Most vitamins are the
same, just like aspirin. Same formula = same product. The only difference
may be in production (purity controls, etc)

Loose talk -- when was Vitamin C EVER under patent?   In addition, the
studies performed in those days were rarely  properly controlled.   .

Since most people recover from viral illnesses, even polio, it is impossible
to establish that any treatment is effective without proper controls.  It
has proved very difficult to show that Vitamin C has any effect in
preventing or curing even the common cold, so that it remins unlikely that
it is the answer to any viral illness.   The in vitro studies listed above
don't count, as the researchers would not know what concentrations to use to
mimic normal biological conditions, and could use concentrations not
achievable by oral administration.   .

Er I'm back.

I'm going to ignore all the posts about vitamins. Except to say they
will not kill even one virus. Well maybe if you pour it on top of them
and leave it for a while.

But Ilena you didn't say anything about what I asked you about you
picked on that Clarke person. Do you agree that such obvious crooks
bring the alternate health movment into disrepute? I can't really tell
from your post. Please post more detail rgardind why Barret etc are the
bad guys. From what I read on the internet (an extra day now) he seems
to be doing good work advising people about the worst of the scammers.
I think Clarke would have to be one of those.

I dunno, I'm new. But Clarke seems to be an obvious phoney. Taking
money off sick people and just keeping it. I'd call that fraud. I mean
you don't really think that all cancer is caused by a fluke and can be
cured by a mild electric current do you?

Please reply seriously.

Where do you get this info? Dr. Klenner did research to show otherwise.

...From 1943 through 1947 Dr. Klenner reported successful treatment of
41 more cases of viral pneumonia using massive doses of vitamin C. From
these cases he learned what dosage and route of administration ­
intravenously, intramuscularly, or orally ­ was best for each patient.
Dr. Klenner gave these details in a February 1948 paper published in
the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery entitled “Virus Pneumonia
and Its Treatment with Vitamin C”....

Yes Sdores exactly, well said. I'm posting from
misc.health.alternative. I'm new here, just a few days. Strange place
but interesting people. I can't say how long I can keep up the pace
though it's busy in here.

As to Mogwai fear Satan.

Bullshit, nobody ever "proved" that vitamin C cures any viral
infection.

You fear Satan? Why? My invisable friend must be better than your
invisable friend. I have no fear of Satan at all. mail me off group
iratoole@yahoo.com and I'll explain why there is no need to be afraid.
It's off topic for here though.

I do take a few vitamins. Mostly B complex. "Cos I drinks a bit. and
the occasionall multi. Actually though the multis seem to have no
effect the Bs? Maybe a little bit if I take about three a day. the wife
bought some 500mg Cs a while ago. I tried them in various doses from
large to small to often to occasionally. No effect at all. Tried large
doses when I had the flu, really bad flu. No effect at all.

Over all I spend about $18.00 over 3 or 4 months for a maybe small
benefit. Higher doses don't seem to make much diffence. Actually if
they make any difference to my wellbeing it's a bit hard to tell. They
do seem to though The Bs I mean. Although I must admit I do tend to eat
more red meat and fish at the same time. But it's cheap and easy so
I'll keep taking them.

Vitamin C and SARS coronavirus
Harri Hemilä*

Department of Public Health, University of Helsinki, Helsinki,
FIN-00014 Finland

Keywords: ascorbic acid, pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome

Sir,

Recently, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of the severe
acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).1 In the absence of a specific
treatment for SARS, the possibility that vitamin C may show
non-specific effects on severe viral respiratory tract infections
should be considered. There are numerous reports indicating that
vitamin C may affect the immune system,2,3 for example the function of
phagocytes, transformation of T lymphocytes and production of
interferon. In particular, vitamin C increased the resistance of chick
embryo tracheal organ cultures to infection caused by an avian
coronavirus.4 Studies in animals found that vitamin C modifies
susceptibility to various bacterial and viral infections,3 for example
protecting broiler chicks against an avian coronavirus.5
Placebo-controlled trials have shown quite consistently that the
duration and severity of common cold episodes are reduced in the
vitamin C groups,3 indicating that viral respiratory infections in
humans are affected by vitamin C levels. There is also evidence
indicating that vitamin C may affect pneumonia.3 In particular, three
controlled trials with human subjects reported a significantly lower
incidence of pneumonia in vitamin C-supplemented groups,6 suggesting
that vitamin C may affect susceptibility to lower respiratory tract
infections under certain conditions. The possibility that vitamin C
affects severe viral respiratory tract infections would seem to warrant
further study, especially in light of the recent SARS epidemic.

Pharmish, that's cute. The studies had been done that show vit-C will help
the immune system fight off viruses. I doubt many people disagree with that.
As far as overdosing on ascorbic acid to treat a dz, that's absurd. SARS or
comon cold, it is still a virus, no matter how you dress it up.

Big Pharma doesn't get much bigger than Roche. Roche just happens to
be the biggest manufacturer of vitamins in the world. Why would they
not want to make more profit from vitamins?

A cheap non patentable cure to disease (even if it's their product) is
the last thing Big Pharma wants. It's a silver dagger through the heart
of their business.(diseases management).  It's not the hiding of these
facts that I mind it's the total corrupting of our government (if it's

Eejit. David's point was that Big Pharma would be acting against their
own interests in suppressing cures.

Apart from your idiocy/vacuity in invoking the holocaust, the people
who stood by either had no interest, or were protecting their own
interests.

Big Pharma is into making MONEY. Thats what corporations do. Thats
their function.

and that's what people did when their research pointed to cures yet was
kicked back by supervisors due to lack of financial incentive to
produce a product.  I've heard this story many many times.

That must be why Roche keeps making those vitamins and supplements. No
patent royalties to pay, no research to be done, money to be banked.

Oh, come now! You too? READ the CODEX. If Codex Alimentarius were a
pharmaceutical cartel plot to "monopolize the future," they would not have
spent the first eleven years of their existence developing standards for
cheeses. And they might have come up with more than three pages of
"guidelines" about supplements in thirty years instead of wasting their time
defining such things as fast frozen fish and canned whole asparagus.

The fact that you haven't read it and still come up with a pitiful rant
about it being "HELL" says it all.

And what is the internet if it isn't "mass media"?:

mass media is the crap that is fed to the masses. Ever watch TV and the
provacid ads inbetween the shows? Curious (not really) that we have
some alarmed people on the internet speaking against codex (and
representatives that want us out of the UN) yet it's a nonissue in mass
media?!? The secrecy crap doesn't give me a warm and cozy feeling that
codex is all about protecting me.

I've read parts of the meandering mess, still can't find if I can take
my Co-Q10 and mega Vit C under CODEX or if it's blacklisted? Last time
I checked I could not.

CODEX is a sickness and people who believe in it are VERY sick.

Having an FDA is bad enough.

Codex doesn't have a blacklist. Just what did you find in Codex the last
time you "checked" whereby you "could not" take your supplements? By the
way, the "meandering mess" of Codex has only three pages of guidelines
applying to supplements, and those are quite concise. Have you read them?

The funny thing is that Codex isn't law. There are no legal sanctions
for not complying with Codex.
The only possible sanctions I can imagine are economical, and mostly
limited to B2B. You can either sell stuff that complies with Codex
standards or spend a fortune trying to convince your customers that your
product is safe, properly packaged, labelled etc. while not complying to
Codex standards. And when everyone sells stuff complying to the same
standard, you can directly compare prices. If your company can't
compete, you're out. But that has nothing to do with the law or the
Codex per se. And that would be in the best interest of buyers, being
able to buy at the lowest price with the certainty the quality is the
same as the more expensive stuff.

Is there a specified MDR or RDA for CoQ10 or silver?  Why would they allow
it other than under control?
You are asking an open question to someone who could care less what YOU
want, as long as the government controls YOU.

There are MDR and RDA for vitamin C, but that doesn't prevent the marketing
of tablets far in excess of either. Codex won't change that.

yep it's called the positive list. Anyone know a link to find this
list?

Nothing Positive About Codex "Positive List"

Under the Codex Alimentarius system, everything not explicitly
permitted is prohibited. That means that the system under which Codex
operates uses a "Positive List". Things on a positive list are
permitted. Things omitted from the positive list are forbidden.

For example, if nutrients at particular doses are included on the Codex
list, they are permitted. If they are not on the list or if other doses
are used than what is specified on the list, they are prohibited. It is
exactly as if they had been explicitly forbidden!

Although those who are warning about Codex Alimentarius have focused on
the nutritional aspect until now (the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline),
Codex is really much more broad than just limitations on nutritional
supplements (and that is bad enough!). Codex would regulate everything
you put in your mouth for either nutrition (from "farm to fork"), and
eventually, treatments too (i.e. homeopathics and herbal products are
at risk).

Sheesh, I'm simply looking for the "positive list" from codex. Surely
there is a list somewhere and I admit I'm having a hard time finding
it. Good enough vern?

That's all Codex has to say about supplements. That's it. Three pages. There
is no "positive list."

Nonsense. First, Codex applies only to foods in international trade. Foods
produces within national borders are still regulated only by that nation's
standards. Foods that do not meet Codex standards can still be traded
internationally with the consent of both parties, and neither the Codex
Commission nor the WTO has the authority to prohibit such transactions.

Codex does not have the authority to make law or to "forbid" anything.

The principal theme of the article at this link is flat wrong. Codex is not
law. It permits or forbids nothing. Neither common law nor Napoleanic law
apply to Codex.
