ANH Request: grassroots help urgently required
12th February 2009
The ANH needs your action please!
Natural health advocates!!
One of the biggest trials yet undertaken that is being used to stop people taking supplements, together with a viral misinformation campaign on Codex require your urgent attention.
We're aware that you've heard from us very recently and whilst we try not to overload your inboxes, the following two news items are so important that we are asking for your help to disseminate the following information as widely as you can.
All the information can be found at the following two links, which can be cut and pasted into an email and sent to contact lists:
- Correcting Codex misinformation: http://www.anhcampaign.org/news/codex-misinformation-creates-public-confusion
- Women’s Multivitamin Study link: http://www.anhcampaign.org/news/women%E2%80%99s-multivitamin-study-%E2%80%98a-little-too-late%E2%80%99-study-designed-to-fail
You can find out more about these two crucially important issues below.
With our thanks

Codex misinformation creates public confusion
The ANH has been inundated with email and phone requests recently to clarify whether the frightening, and frankly outlandish, information on Codex currently doing the rounds on the internet, is accurate or not. And unfortunately, whilst Codex does present a significant threat to our health freedoms, the truth is that so much of the circulating information is either grossly inaccurate or completely incorrect. Misinformation of this nature has the ability to damage and derail the campaigns against Codex that are based in truth and accurate fact. Hence, we have felt compelled to put a statement up on the ANH site and update our Codex Campaign page to clarify the key myths and set people straight. We'd like to thank those supporters who have taken the time to forward information they've received to check on accuracy before adding to the misinformation pool by forwarding it. It's this action that has prompted us to write a statement to attempt to redress the balance. We would now ask you all to please cascade the link to this story to as many people as you can and ask your contacts to send it out as widely as possible. Given how widespread the misinformation on Codex is now, we really need your help to get the accurate facts out there as a matter of priority.
Women’s Multivitamin Study: ‘A little, too late’ study, designed to fail
Yet another study that generates negative headlines for supplements has hit the world's media this week. The ANH shows that this latest study which claims to show that multivitamin supplements don’t prevent cancer or heart disease, is a waste of public money! These funds could be much more usefully spent on research that can really help transition the health system from one that largely treats the symptoms of disease, to one whose foundation is rooted in preventative and sustainable healthcare.
