13 March 2002 – the day when the people of Europe brought their Parliament to a standstill

  Matthias Rath B.V.
  15 March 2002



To date 550 million votes from around the world have been cast demanding free access to natural remedies for the people of Europe. On Wednesday morning, the avalanche of protests had grown to such an extent that it crippled the e-mail system of the European Parliament. Parliament demanded that the President of the EU considered measures to enable delegates to communicate again.

On this historic day, the people of Europe expressed their wish to develop a new health care system, a health care system founded on natural and effective remedies free of side-effects.

It was practically a farce that this was the day the European Parliament made a decision on a 'Directive on dietary supplements' which will ban effective vitamin therapies and other natural remedies throughout Europe. About two-thirds of the delegates bowed to the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and passed this law. One third of the delegates stood up for the health interests of the people and voted against. A transitionary period of three years was agreed for products already on the market.

The 13th March 2002 will go down in history as the date on which the European Parliament revealed itself as 'Strasbourg puppets' and supported a massive market in useless pharmaceutical preparations against the growing competition from research into natural remedies.

The bizarre effects of the Europe-wide law can be seen from the example of the natural amino acid lysine. The human body cannot produce lysine, therefore we depend on obtaining an optimal supply from our food and dietary supplements. And now it has also become clear that this essential substance may also be the key to fighting the endemic disease cancer (more information at www.naturally-against-cancer.org). This medical breakthrough and the consequent threat to the pharmaceutical market was of course the reason for the pharmaceutical cartel running amok.

The laughable vote against free access to life-preserving natural remedies is not a surprise if you know that the pharmaceutical industry writes its own laws across Europe. For example, a member of the supervisory board of the second-largest pharmaceutical group in the world (Merck, Sharp & Dohme), Frits Bolkenstein, sits in the 'Cabinet' of the European Parliament, the European Commission. There they make laws in the interests of the pharmaceutical groups, barring access to side-effect free medicines for 380 million Europeans and opening the way to the 'pharmaceutical trade in disease'.

In his series of lectures 'Nature's weapons against cancer', Dr. Rath will cast light on the background to the scientific breakthrough offering victory over death from cancer, and the pharmaceutical industry's fight to continue its trade in cancer worth billions.
