Save Your Right to Take Supplements--Deadline May 29

[Guest guest]

Hi Adam

Welcome to the group. I get a newsletter that keeps me informed of all the

legislature concerning health issues. I have already sent out my letters to my

congressmen/women. Thank you for the reminder. It is a very important issue.

Hi, everybody,

Thanks for allowing me to join and nice to meet all of you!

I was going to write and introduce myself a bit until I came across

something a friend emailed me that I want to pass along--The FDA is

about to make nutritional supplements inaccessible and there are only

8 days left to take action to stop it.

Sincerely,

The FDA is about to promulgate* a rule whereby all natural

supplements and substances, including water in some cases, will

become regulated drugs which you will be able to obtain only by

prescription from an allopathic doctor

(an M. D.) Your right to treat yourself, take what you want when

you want,

to control your own body in this way will be violated.

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55403

This is quite an emergency. We need to call our Congresspersons

and Senators

quickly to stop this--and it absolutely has to be stopped. FDA

also has a comment period until May 29; the phone number is

1-800-216-7331.

The case docket number is 2006D-0480; it should be mentioned when

calling.

There is also a comment form at:

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/oc/dockets/comments/COMMENTSMain.CFM?EC_DO\

CUMENT_ID=1451 & SUBTYP=CONTINUE & CID= & AGENCY=FDA

All individual choice and natural treatment options will be gone

if this rule goes into

effect. The supplement industry that millions depend on for

natural health options

will go out of business almost overnight.

The supplements available then will only be ones made by

pharmaceutical

companies, and will likely be of extremely poor quality.

Phone numbers for your Reps. and Senators and the President are below,

or you can get them at at www.house.gov , www.senate.gov , and

www. whitehouse.gov

Even if the rule goes into effect, Congress can pass a law

overturning it at any time, so it's still very much worth

contacting your

representatives in Washington.

Why do I see this same type of action from the FDA every single year. How many

times do we have to speak up? They need to just leave us alone with all of

this. It is annoying that we have to fight for herbs. Good grief!

The FDA needs to take care of business like making sure our drugs are safe

before they go

on the market and they CERTAINLY are not doing that. Just found out tonight

that Avandia

which my father takes for diabetes can cause heart deaths at 64% and heart

attacks by

47%. He had bypass surgery 7 yrs ago. This is not what we needed to hear. I

agree with

you. It's all about money. The FDA is disfunctional and so is congress. They

are suppose

to have a vote on increasing the safety of all the drugs that are coming out so

fast by the

FDA....congress won't do the right thing.....Watch and see. They need to leave

the

supplements alone and take care of business!!!

b/c FDA represents the interests of big pharma. Avandia, vioxx, antiDs that

increase suicide risk, etc, won't be the cash cows for them like they used to

be.
