Subj: NEW SENATE BILL AFFECTS DSHEA AND

THREATENS the Dietary Supplement INDUSTRY

Senator McCain (R-AZ) has introduced the desperately misguided Dietary

Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (DSSA). Co-sponsored by Senator Byron Dorgan

(D-ND) and backed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and various

professional and amateur sports organizations, this bill aims to identify and

remove illegal steroid products from the legitimate dietary supplement

marketplace. This bill will NOT achieve its goal but will severely harm our

industry. In short, their solution in dealing with a criminal element is to add

even more laws for them to ignore – the real solution is to enforce the

adequate laws that we currently have on the books!

As written, this bill would repeal essential sections of the Dietary Supplement

Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) – this is the very threat that we have

been predicting could become a reality. This bill would create a regulatory

climate similar to the one we face in Canada that has resulted in thousands of

natural products being removed from the marketplace.

This is a misguided bill which we will need to respond to very vigorously in

order to protect our industry and the health freedoms of people who use natural

products. While this is a very serious threat, I am encouraged because – as in

1994 – I know that we have the truth on our side. We need your help to ensure

the truth is heard in Congress by having the voice of the people

bring it to them. It’s time to speak out because silence is acceptance!

Please join us - and invite others - so that together we can keep our right to

make healthy choices! As former NNFA president and freedom fighter Max Huberman

said back in the 1970's, NO SURRENDER, NO RETREAT !!
