Codex Nutrition Chief:  Minerals May be Good for the Masters but they're too good for you.

Rolf Grossklaus has a bad foot. He has admitted to taking illegal substances to help it heal: Boron, Vanadium (along with possibly legal doses of Calcium - legal, that is, IF the dose he is taking is low enough to satisfy the European Food Supplements Directive, a Codex-Compliant limitation of types and doses of nutrients used in Europe). You see, when I asked him what the problem was he said that he had apparently injured his ankle while playing with his 5 year old grandson. It is nice to know that such a warm, cuddly side exists, of course. When he cruelly and callously dismisses and humiliates people in public that's sort of hard to see.

Anyway, he told me that an MRI showed some damage and now he was in a walking cast to immobilize the foot. Nutritional physician to nutritional physician, I said to him, "I assume you are taking boron, vanadium and calcium to speed bone healing." and he answered, "Yes".

Nothing very unusual there in the US, of course, where nutrients are foods and no upper limits can be set.

But we are in Europe, land of the Codex-compliant European Food Supplements Directive where boron and venadium are not permitted and high dose nutrients are, likewise, forbidden.

So consider that for a moment!

Rolf Grossklaus, MD,

The man with specialty training in nutritional medicine
The man who has driven home the false and dangerous (but pharma phriendly) idea that nutrients are toxins and should be treated that way via the toxicology tool called "Risk Assessment"
The man who runs a company which performs Risk Assessment for profit, mandating doses so low that they have no discernible impact on anyone
The man who pushed through Codex the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (ratified in Rome, July 4, 2005) which states that their maximum permitted doses are "Upper safe limits of vitamins and minerals ... established by scientific risk assessment",
Rolf Grossklaus, MD, says that he is taking nutrients banned by the European Food Supplements Directive, lifted from the shelves of Europe. And they are not very important here in the EU anyway because, as the European Food Supplements Directive says, "Only vitamins and minerals found in, and consumed as part of, the diet should be allowed to be present as food supplements although this does not mean that their presence therein is necessary".

Yes, the very same man admitted to me that now that he has a bone injury, he takes nutrients for health and healing! Since he actually does have a scientific and medical education in nutrition, we can safely assume that the doses he is taking of these prohibited nutrients are high enough to do him some good - IF they were legal under the European Food Supplements Directive, that is.
Here is the list of the only minerals which Dr. Grossklaus can legally take because they are permitted under the European Food Supplements Directive (all others are prohibited):
Calcium
Magnesium
Iron
Copper
Iodine
Zinc
Manganese
Sodium
Potassium
Selenium
Chromium
Molybdenum
Fluoride
Chloride
Phosphorus.

Oh, my goodness! Boron and Vanadium are not among them! I conclude from this interesting information and conversation with Dr. Grossklaus, the tireless champion of nutrients-as-toxins, nutrients-subjected-to-risk-assessment, nutrients-which-must-have-upper-limits that what is very good for the Masters who want to control our health (and lack thereof) is most assuredly NOT deemed to be good for us, the Serfs who are also known, as a term of art by the people who created Codex, as "Useless Eaters".

Frankly, if your health and mine - perhaps our very survival - were not at stake what takes place here would be a farcical dark comedy, nothing more. ..
