..."the importance of B6, and the other vitamin B compounds. In the same week that the FSA produced its weighty document, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study of heart patients who had had an angioplasty. Usually, around 20 per cent of all angioplasty patients need a repeat operation within a year, but researchers found that those who took a daily regimen of folic acid, and vitamins B12 and B6, dramatically reduced their chances of needing another operation (JAMA, 2002; 288: 973-979). The findings are no surprise to anyone who has taken any interest in nutrition as the B family is known to reduce homocysteine levels in the blood, now recognised as a major contributor to heart disease"...
B6: MAN THE BARRICADES AGAIN
If you thought the B6 controversy had been laid to rest, think again. Some of you may remember the strong and effective campaign in the UK six years ago to stop the lowering of the upper limits of B6 to just 10 mg. So startled were the British government by the passions of protesters that they scrapped the plan. Well, guess what? The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has just produced its report on safe upper limits of vitamins and minerals -- and has recommended the maximum strength of B6 should be . . .10 mg. First time around, it was discovered that the government plan was based on one piece of highly-flawed research, and there's nothing to suggest that the FSA has come up with any compelling evidence this time.
In an otherwise reasonable, and reasoned, report, the B6 recommendation stands out, and smacks of a Department of Health that doesn't like to lose an argument. Revenge is a meal best served cold, as they say.The FSA wouldn't have had to look far to find evidence to show the importance of B6, and the other vitamin B compounds. In the same week that the FSA produced its weighty document, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study of heart patients who had had an angioplasty. Usually, around 20 per cent of all angioplasty patients need a repeat operation within a year, but researchers found that those who took a daily regimen of folic acid, and vitamins B12 and B6, dramatically reduced their chances of needing another operation (JAMA, 2002; 288: 973-979). The findings are no surprise to anyone who has taken any interest in nutrition as the B family is known to reduce homocysteine levels in the blood, now recognised as a major contributor to heart disease (More in the WDDTY booklet Your Healthy Heart, which can be ordered on: http://www.wddty.co.uk). Perhaps the FSA would like a copy.
Despite the B6 oversight, the FSA report is our best shot at making the EU see reason as Brussels decides a Europe-wide safe upper level of vitamins. But with the powerful lobbies from Germany and France as ever holding court, don't hold your breath. We could still end up with a level that is just one times RDA. We're involved with several lobby groups of our own, and we're hoping they will have some influence over the policy-makers. It's crucial they succeed because an EU directive, once passed, takes precedence over the governments of individual states within the EU. All nation-states must then comply with the spirit of a directive, although they have some leeway in determining the details.
This is where we -- or more precisely, the Health Freedom Movement, a non-profit organisation we have created -- comes in. To influence our own government, we're planning a street protest through central London next year. But we will need YOUR help, too. We need donations, and we will need volunteers on the day to help control the march, and in the build-up to it. So please give what you can -- your time, your money, whatever.

It's worth pointing out that this is one of three planned directives, all aimed at curbing, or even destroying, alternative and complementary medicine. Oddly (!) the directives are almost the mirror images of similar pieces of legislation that have been mooted in America, Canada, South Africa, Australia and elsewhere. If you think there are other, underlying motivations beyond the safeguards of the consumer, in whose name these directives have been drafted, you could be right. We've heard that the American Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has been involved in the drafting of the EU directives, and we're expecting evidence of this shortly.As soon as we know, so will you! If you want to understand the real politics behind all of this, read Secrets of the Drugs Industry. It's available on: http://www.wddty.co.uk Until next time, stay healthy and well.

Here is another example of how systematically - the pharmaceuticals manipulate safe and cost effective solutions and put us at risk and all the time extolling their self serving concern for the patient. Just one, of far too many, examples of this sort of thing happening time after time. Its sad to see how the researchers get sucked into these!
