Protect Your Supplements from Sen. Durbin

Dear friend:

Senator Dick Durbin is once again attempting to get

rid of your supplements, and it may happen today, unless you act NOW.

There is an FDA bill before the Senate that is

relatively uncontroversial, but it’s considered a “must-pass†bill. Sen. Durbin

is planning to offer a last-minute amendment to that bill, slipping it in under

the radar and piggy-backing it on a bill that will go through without debate. This

amendment will destroy DSHEA—the law that protects your supplements from

unnecessary government intrusion and regulation.

The amendment says, among other things, that

supplement companies must register their products with the FDA within 30

days, or they will be considered “misbranded†and companies will be subject

to outrageous financial penalties, possibly even jail time. To avoid this, many

companies will simply remove their supplements from the shelves until they are

able to comply with the new requirement.

That’s right. Thirty days after this law goes into effect, many

supplements will disappear.

There are several other dirty tricks this amendment

will do. We need you to contact your senators

IMMEDIATELY and tell them to vote NO on the Durbin dietary supplement

amendment.

We

can’t express how dangerous this amendment is, or how urgent it is that you

take action NOW.
