World Health Alphabetization campaign

Health is the most important human need and its protection is the most basic human right. Or, at least, so you might think. Unfortunately, however, so far as our current health care systems are concerned, nothing could be further from the truth. Over the past decades, health care systems around the world have been taken hostage by interests that have defined human diseases as multi-billion dollar markets for their patented drugs. These interests have a name: the pharmaceutical investment business with disease. The precondition for this fraudulent business model to function is the health illiteracy of millions of people, i.e. the lack of knowledge about basic functions of the human body and the most fundamental approaches to human health. The online World Health Alphabetization course was therefore developed to end health illiteracy for yourself, your family, friends, colleagues and your community.

Don’t allow yourself to be fooled by the agents of disinformation and confusion

During the closing months and weeks of 2009, our Foundation received numerous enquiries from people wanting to know whether Codex would “go into global effect on December 31, 2009”. Citing claims they had seen on a website belonging to Rima Laibow and Albert Stubblebeine, they expressed concern that the use of vitamins and other natural health therapies would be prohibited worldwide after that date.

Fortunately however, the date of December 31, 2009 had no practical significance to Codex whatsoever. In other words, vitamins and other natural health therapies were not prohibited worldwide by Codex at the end of 2009 and nor were they ever going to be.

So who are Rima Laibow and Albert Stubblebine, and why are they seemingly so intent upon seeding disinformation and sowing confusion amongst the natural health movement?
