Episode Description
Scott Tips, president of the National Health Federation (NHF) and internationally recognized health freedom attorney, joins host, Jamie Belz, to help us understand the deeper mechanisms of Codex Alimentarius, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the global regulatory web that threatens access to nutrient-dense food, natural health remedies, and therapeutic supplements.
As the only health-freedom organization with official INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization) status at Codex, NHF is uniquely positioned to stand up for the public’s right to safe, informed, and autonomous healthcare choices on the global stage.
Over the last 70 years, NHF has defended medical choice and challenged the federal government’s overreach into nutrition, supplementation, and holistic healing.
Some quick topics/snippets from this episode:
- Codex creates international food law—affecting everything from vitamin dosage limits to whether or not your meat contains drug residues.
- Most people don’t even know Codex exists. And yet, decisions made there determine what shows up in your grocery cart, your supplement bottle, and your child’s plate.
- The U.S. can now force genetically modified foods into countries that don’t want them — not through diplomacy, but through international tribunals using Codex standards as their weapon.
- Ractopamine is a drug with zero therapeutic value. It makes animals fatter, faster — but it’s banned in the EU, China, and Russia. In the U.S., you’re probably eating it.
- When you hear ‘scientific consensus,’ be cautious. The phrase is used to bulldoze public concern.
- You can be banned for calling out corruption at Codex.
- At CODEX, NHF is the only one defending your right to natural health freedom.
- The EU, Russia, even Iran — they’ve stood up for consumer safety at Codex more than the U.S. delegates have.
- The scary thing isn’t just what the FDA is doing. It’s how many people still trust them, blindly — even when their actions have harmed more people than every U.S. war combined.
- We need advocacy from the ground up. Most parents feeding their kids toxic food don’t even know it — because the truth has been buried.
- “Frankenmeat”, insect protein, and natural flavoring cover-ups, all of which bypass transparent labeling laws while being quietly introduced into the food supply.
- They’re trying to outlaw homeopathy—while promoting lab-grown meat and insect protein as sustainable alternatives.
- We don’t want to be right. We want to get it right.
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.” - Dr. Benjamin Rush, Declaration of Independence signator and Surgeon General of the Continental Army
"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson

Health freedom is necessary. As government and corporate interests grow more entangled, grassroots advocacy is no longer optional. It’s essential. Join the NHF and become part of the movement to reclaim sovereignty over what we eat, how we heal, and what we’re allowed to know.
