Q: Codex Alimentarius: Population Control Under the Guise of Consumer ProtectionThe Real ThreatIN Part;While the esoteric agenda of the media is busy driving fear into the hearts of the world by focusing on terrorism, global warming, salmonella, and food shortages, the real threats are clandestinely becoming a reality. Soon every single thing you put into your mouth (with the exception of pharmaceuticals, of course) will be highly regulated by Codex Alimentarius, including water. The standards of Codex are a complete affront to the freedom of clean and healthy food, yet these regulations have no legal international standing. Why should we be worried? These soon-to-be mandatory standards will apply to every country who are members of the WTO (World Trade Organization). If countries do not follow these standards, then enormous trade sanctions will result. Some Codex standards that will take effect on December 31, 2009 and once initiated are completely irrevocable include [2]:* All nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are to be considered toxins/poisons and are to be removed from all food because Codex prohibits the use of nutrients to “prevent, treat or cure any condition or disease”* All food (including organic) is to be irradiated, removing all toxic nutrients from food (unless eaten locally and raw).* Nutrients allowed will be limited to a Positive List developed by Codex which will include such beneficial nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed from environmental waste. All other nutrients will be prohibited nationally and internationally to all Codex-compliant countries [2].* All nutrients (e.g., CoQ10, Vitamins A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that have any positive health impact on the body will be deemed illegal under Codex and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to humans’ health [3].* You will not even be able to obtain these anywhere in the world even with a prescription.The Door is Open for Codex (in part)In 1995, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created an illegal policy stating that international standards (i.e, Codex) would supersede U.S. laws governing all food even if these standards were incomplete [5]. Furthermore, in 2004 the U.S. passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (illegal under U.S. law, but legal under international law) that requires the U.S. to conform to Codex in December of 2009 [6].Once these standards are adopted there is no possible way to return to the standards of the old. Once Codex compliance begins in any area, as long as we remain a member of the WTO, it is totally irrevocable. These standards are then unable to be repealed, changed or altered in any way shape or form [1, 2, 7].http://www.naturalnews.com/024128_CODEX_food_health.htmlThere is more;No more US wheat stocked – all sold out!http://www.barternews.com/us_government_wheat_stocks_collapse.htm

A: Well you might be in luck.I’m a senior taking a college Anatomy class =]Q1 aQ2 aQ3 bQ4 bQ5 aQ6 dQ7 cQ8 aQ9 dQ10 cQ11 aQ12 awhoever corrected me was right, it would be A for question 4. I also believe that question 2 should be enzymes, DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which was asked about in question 1. I was probably still thinking of that question when answering question 2.Other than those two, the rest should be correct.ohh, and by the way, I’m a she, not a he = ]
muscle twitching…….. nervous condition….. doctor please.?
Q: I know this is long………… At least read the last paragraph if you feel that this is too much for you to read. Everything else I typed above the last paragraph is explaining something that I think is linked to why this is happening. I’m not sure though. I need an opinion.It all started off a couple of months ago when I woke up with my heart speeding really fast. You know that stiff feeling you get when a part of your body falls asleep? Well, that’s how I felt all over. I wasn’t sure whether I could move or not, so I played and safe and didn’t even try to move until my heart slowed down. This isn’t the first time something like that happened. The first time was like a year ago. I took a combination of pills: Royal Jelly, Zinc, Fish Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and I think I also took a B complex. I took the pills in the morning. In the middle of the night, I woke up with my heart beating really fast like described above. I told my parents and they told me that I probably was just scared and that’s why my heart was speeding up.The second time was like 6months later. It happened sometime in December or January I think. This time, my heart didn’t speed up. I was in a deep sleep and in my dream I felt like my whole body was asleep. Even in the dream I played it safe and tried not to move because it felt like if I tried to move, I would have a seizure or something. And in the dream, which I think was really happening at the time of the dream, my legs were shaking. And I think and it even felt like they were shaking for real. I told my mom about it and she told me that maybe I was just cold and I was shivering. Unlike the first time, I didn’t take all of those pills. I’m not quite sure, but I think I took a Zinc and I know I took some Royal Jelly. I’m really not sure if I took a Fish Oil or not.The third time, which was like a month later (February), it happened again. I know I took a Royal Jelly, a Zinc, and Fish Oil. I woke up in the middle of the night (This always happens when I’m sleep. I wonder why.) and my vision was kind of blurred. Soon as my vision got back to normal, I jumped and my heart started beating extremely fast and I got that stiff feeling as if my body went to sleep. I didn’t tried to move and all I did was just lay there trying to relax, breathing in and out slowly until my heart slowed down. When it finally did, I got up and stayed up the whole night because I was too scared to go back to sleep.When taken those pills by themselves, nothing like that ever happened. But it has to be a combination of one of those pills that’s giving me some sort of reaction. I took the Royal Jelly for protien (vegetarian). The fish oil because I needed my omega-3 fatty acids. I took zinc because it’s good for your skin.Anyway, what I typed above isn’t even my problem. (Sorry This Is So Long) I typed all of that because I think that is linked to the problem that I have now.My muscles keep twitching, I think. This happened before the speeding heart incident, but now it’s gotten worse. It use to be every so often. Now it’s happens so many times through the day. My mom told me that it’s just muscle spasms or I might just have a nervous condition. Nothing to worry about. It happens to my feet sometimes. My arms, legs, hands, thighs, back, mouth. I don’t know why. It’ll happen for a couple of seconds and then stop. Also, my hands keep falling asleep whenever I go to sleep. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and can’t feel my hands and would have to shake them and move them until I get feeling back in them again. I think I have some blood circulation problem or something. Has this happened to you or something like it? What do you think?
A: I had this happening for me last year sounds like anxiety
