1) John Hammell's Press Release - October 2, 2002
2) Email From Ron Law, former Executive Director of NNFA New Zealand explaining the significance of the following documentation that he sent to IAHF.
3) Ron Law's Documentation:
1. Letter from NNFA New Zealand to IADSA dated April 2002 reminding IADSA that they had agreed to let NNFA NZ represent the S.Pacific region on the IADSA Executive in 2002.
In this letter NNFA New Zealand questioned the perceived willingness of IADSA to side with Australia's Pharma-Centric regulatory model."2. Expulsion letter from Dennin to NNFA New Zealand dated April 22, 2002
Note that this letter fails to address any of the points raised by NNFA NZ in their letter to IADSA.Note that at no time was NNFA NZ given any chance to defend themselves before being expelled from IADSA."Note from documentation presented below in additional letters, that IADSA reneged on their agreement to allow NNFA New Zealand to sit on the IADSA Executive in 2002 due to CHC (from Australia) threatening to quit IADSA if NNFA NZ was allowed to represent the region. Note that IADSA's unwillingness to stand firmly on their original decision to allow NNFA NZ to represent the S.Pacific Region in 2002 (since Australia had represented it in 2001) shows favoritism to Australia, and to Australia's Pharma-Centric regulatory model, (as stated by NNFA New Zealand.)
4. Fax from Simon Pettman to NNFA NZ and to CHC dated March 1, 2002.
Note that there wasn't a hint that NNFA NZ was in any way threatened with expulsion from IADSA. Note that in it Pettman stated that "It had been agreed that NNFA NZ would fill this post in 2002" (referring to NNFA representing the S.Pacific Region on IADSA's Executive in 2002, since Australia had represented the region in 2001.) Note that Pettman was kowtowing to CHC (Australia's) threat to quit IADSA if NNFA NZ was allowed to hold this position. Note that Pettman was reneging on an agreement already made: that NNFA NZ would represent the region in 2002. Note that IADSA was now interfering (for a second time) in regional representation, while claiming not to be interfering.5. Emails Back and Forth Between NNFA New Zealand & Randy Dennin/Simon Pettman of IADSA Raise Serious Questions About IADSA's legitimacy as a "health freedom" organization.
6. Natural Law - Ron Law from New Zealand comments on the recent Australian recall of over 1300 dietary supplement products. His article Natural Justice? was published in the Independent, the largest business newspaper in New Zealand. He quite correctly questions the Australian TGA's actions, as well as New Zealand Health Minister Annette King's actions in ordering a mandatory recall on Pan's products in New Zealand, going strictly on a basis of TGA hearsay evidence.
4) NNFA New Zealand has support of all opposition parties in New Zealand.
There will be an inquiry into whether or not changes should be made to New Zealand vitamin laws. With this inquiry, NNFA New Zealand hopes to preserve New Zealand's existing dietary supplement laws to thwart Australia's and IASDA's efforts to force New Zealand to harmonize to Australian law.5) Documentation that American supplement laws ARE being set up for harmonization to international standards (contrary to what NNFA has said re this.)
B) FDA has publicly announced their intention to harmonize their regs to international standards
C) FDA clearly demonstrates their efforts to use CODEX to turn dietary supplements into drugs: this can be seen in FDA's Comments to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use on agenda item #6, Vitamins and Minerals, in section 5.9, the FDA made the revision that "All labels should bear a statement that the supplement be taken on advice of a nutritionist, dietician or a medical doctor" See IAHF's comments to FDA on this at http://www.iahf.com/codex/20020807.html
F) CODEX OVERSIGHT HEARING WHITEWASHED March 20, 2001 http://www.iahf.com/codex/20020206.html The Fix is in--- USA Set Up for Harmonization
H) WHAT WE MUST DO NOW TO DEFEND HEALTH FREEDOM IN THE USA AND WORLD WIDE (October 2, 2002) - Opinion of John Hammell, IAHF:
