While SAMA is a well known organisation with its leadership closely linked to the drug industry, the TAC may not be known beyond the borders of South Africa. Its activities can best be described with two statements which the same Cape Town court – in a previous case – did not find objectionable: “they organize rented crowds for the drug industry” in order to “force the government [of South Africa] to spend millions of Rand on toxic drugs.” http://www.dr-rath-foundation.org.za/news/statement_court_za_20080613.html 20080619085700 Thu, 19 Jun 08 08:57:00 GMT Break the Chains of Pharmaceutical Colonialism http://www.dr-rath-foundation.org.za/news/end_aids.html 20080319083100 Wed, 19 Mar 08 08:31:00 GMT Response by the Dr. Rath Foundation to the Recent Statement by the South African Academy of Sciences on the Role of Nutrition in the Fight Against Immune Deficiencies and Infectious Diseases. http://www.dr-rath-foundation.org.za/news/response_assaf_report.html 20070905093500 Mon, 05 Sep 07 9:35:00 GMT South Africa is the one of the countries hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic - and a multibillion dollar market for pharmaceutical drugs. Now, two organizations promoting antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for the treatment of AIDS are staging a showdown - in court - between these highly toxic chemicals and the use of micronutrients as key factors to fight immune deficiencies. The "South African Medical Association" (SAMA) and a group of ARV street promoters have jointly challenged Dr. Rath - a pioneer in vitamin research - and the South African government. Now, in this landmark court case, Dr. Rath has filed his analysis of pharmaceutical colonialism and its genocidal consequences for the people in the developing world. This analysis is a must-read for anyone interested in health and social justice. http://www.dr-rath-foundation.org.za/news/sa_pharm_colon_march07.html 20070323132658 Fri, 23 Mar 07 13:26:58 GMT
