Kl> A suspicious fire which occurred on Saturday night, November 29th in
Kl> Johnstown, Colorado gutted the building housing the Law Loft- home of
Kl> anti Codex researchers Suzanne Harris,JD and Peter Ludwell along with
Kl> Patriot Radio Station KHNC- the American Freedom Network. The Colorado
Kl> State Police Arson Squad is currently conducting an investigation.
Kl> The fire occurred just a short time after the Law Loft's research
Kl> enabled IAHF and the grass roots to conduct a successful Washington
Kl> lobbying campaign to get dietary supplements specifically exempted
Kl> from the harmonization language in the FDA Reform Bill. Prior to being
Kl> amended this language threatened to harmonize our food and drug laws
Kl> with those of the European Union (where dietary supplements are
Kl> regulated as drugs.)
Kl> Dietary supplement consumers have been put in real jeopardy by the
Kl> displacement of Harris and Ludwell from their home/office by the fire
Kl> which destroyed their computer, hard to find books, and crates full of
Kl> documents, which have been critical in our battle for health freedom.
Kl> Although Harris and Ludwell were in Denver at the time of the fire so
Kl> are unharmed, they just called me from a motel and all they have is
Kl> the clothes on their backs- they don't even have a toothbrush. Their
Kl> dog and six cats perished in the blaze, along with all of their
Kl> personal effects. They told me that the brick building had been
Kl> totally gutted, and that it resembled the burned out shell of
Kl> buildings bombed during WWII.
Kl> They badly need our help, or we will lose their invaluable assistance
Kl> in our fight to maintain health freedom. Another Codex submission must
Kl> be sent to the FDA at the end of January, and without the assistance
Kl> of the Law Loft, we won't be able to keep fighting back.
Kl> Harris conducted research at the World Health Organization libraries
Kl> in Rome and in Geneva, and also had extensive records from attending
Kl> Codex meetings in Geneva, and Washington and through their efforts to
Kl> submit Codex comments to the FDA on behalf of the Life Extension
Kl> Foundation, and the National Health Federation. Crates of invaluable
Kl> documents were destroyed in the blaze.
Kl> Without the research of Suzanne Harris and Peter Ludwell we never
Kl> would have gotten the German Codex proposal knocked back from step 5
Kl> to step 3 at the meeting in Geneva in June.
Kl> We wouldn't have been able to kill the Special Panel the Codex
Kl> Commission wanted to create in order to establish a negative or "no
Kl> trade" list for herbs (which would have banned the sale of many herbs
Kl> from international commerce.)
Kl> We wouldn't have been able to get dietary supplements exempted from
Kl> the harmonization language in the FDA Reform Bill (which threatened to
Kl> make our food and drug law the same as the European Union's where
Kl> dietary supplements are regulated as drugs) because it was their
Kl> research that enabled us to pressure Congress to make the change.
Kl> Radio Station KHNC- The American Freedom Network- is a Patriot radio
Kl> station which, until the fire, had been conducting 24 hour a day
Kl> programming which included the Law Loft's 5 day a week program, The
Kl> Law Loft report, through which they had been sounding the alarm
Kl> regarding the Codex International Threat to Health Freedom, as well as
Kl> such related matters as the threat posed by the harmonization language
Kl> in the FDA Reform Bill as well as a host of other civil liberties
Kl> issues involving NAFTA, GATT, the threat posed by "Fast Track",
Kl> MAI,and other issues.
Kl> Hope this helps.
