Progressive Radio Network is a thinking persons networkfor our worlds progressive visionaries, stakeholders and great thinkers to assemble on a commercial free and listener supported network. Our provocative hosts speak freely and passionately on intriguing and urgent topics such as health, news, politics, women’s issues, philosophy and more, that directly impact our lives. Progressive Radio Network takes chances. Our voices and ideas are not always welcome by corporate media so Progressive Radio Network is an important outlet for these great thinkers.
PRN is a second home (and sometimes the last resort) for provocative voices such as Gary Null, Jim Garrison, Michio Kaku, Jim Hightower, Greg Palast, Caryn Hartglass, Mitch Rabin, Michael Toms, Danny Schacter, Richard Martin, James Turner as well as the weekly radio programs of The Nation Magazine (Radio Nation with Laura Flanders), Global Research News Hour, The Wisdom Forum, Free Speech Radio News and many more.
Progressive Radio Network is an internet radio station driven by passion and that includes our listeners whose feedback we value, after all this is radio for the proactive thinker.

Please visit the above link for the Natural Solutions Foundation. Your health depends upon the outcome of CODEX Alimentarius. Codex Alimentarius was founded in 1962 by the UN to establish international free trade foods. It is jointly administered by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) through annual and regional meetings.
Codex sets advisory standards and guidelines which nations may adopt or modify. If they modify them without special protections, nations may be found guilty of setting up trade barriers by the World Trade Organization (WTO), and be assessed crippling financial penalties. If, on the other hand, countries deviate from Codex texts by creating a scientifically strong alternative guideline or standard, and pass enabling legislation (a process we refer to as "The Codex Two Step") they are free to deviate from Codex without being found guilty of creating barriers to trade. WTO has repeatedly refused to grant Codex a unique position as THE international food code, saying it is one of several such standards.
Codex decisions are, however, often perceived as inevitable by many developing nations which are not aware of the flexibility to protect the health of their people through the Two Step Process.
Codex' decisions are heavily influenced by the desires of multinational special interest groups who send representatives to sit on national committees and as NGO delegates. Because Codex is so heavily influenced by corporate interests, its decisions are, in our opinion, often helpful to corporate well-being but strikingly detrimental to human and einviromental health.
Codex pertains to every bite - and kind of - food traded internationally and allows high doses of pesticides, veterinary drugs, synthetic hormones, contaminants, artificial sweeteners, and other dangerous compounds and processes (like mandated irradiation of food) while it forbids health claims for food.
Natural Solutions Foundation has identified the Problem: Codex and its web of influences. We have generated the Reaction: hundreds of thousands of voting consumers contacting the FDA or Congress through our web site, demanding their rights. And we offer the Solution: the Natural Solutions Program, including our Codex 2 Step - how countries can opt out.
