OT - FDA threatening compound pharmacies

January 31, 2008

Hi all! Sorry it took so long to post this, but here is a portion of

the document that I received.

The FDA and the big drug companies are at it again...

They're trying to make natural compounds illegal. If they have their

way, you'll have no choice but to use the more expensive and more

dangerous drugs...and health care practitioners who supply you with

those natural alternatives will be breaking the law.

This means federal regulators, not your own doctor, will be the ones

making some of the most important decisions affecting your health. I

think we should all take action now to prevent this – before it's too

late.

In a series of warning letters to compounding pharmacies across the

country in early January, the FDA ordered doctors and pharmacists to

stop telling patients it's a safer treatment option than drugs – they

suggest that it's a " marketing " tool instead of an accurate description.

If they don't obey, the FDA's threatening to seize products – and even

shut them down. This would deny hundreds of thousands of men and women

access to many compounded real hormones and effectively put this

compounding out of reach as a treatment option.

A lot is at stake here: your right to choose the treatment that's best

for you and your doctor's right to provide it.

Please take action now. You'll find a number of things to do right

away to fight this latest attack on sound medical practice at

www.healthfreedom.net. Click on " FDA Attacks Bio-identical Hormones "

under the " Take Action " section on the lower left-hand side.

P.S. If you think your support won't really make a difference, think

again: last year, the same group I just linked you to successfully

beat back the efforts of a few powerful, drug company-backed Senators

to introduce the so-called " Safe Drug Compounding Act of 2007 " into

Congress. That law would have also outlawed compounding and BHRT. The

support of people like you made the difference.
