Re: Fw: BAN ON SUPPLEMENTS --- Please don't let it happen

REGARDING CODEX: Kallie mentioned that she wen and checked out snopes on

Codex so I decided to go and have a look. It would be great if I could had

the time to go and check out what this Barbara has written.

person writes that you don't have to worry doesn't mean that is so . . .

Even if she is correct it doesn't hurt to be vigilant about these matters.

What bothers me is the suggestion that 150 people died from taking Ephedra.

I don't believe that for one minute. There have been suggestions that the

ball player that was supposed to have died from taking Ephedra drank an

extreme amount of diet coke, or diet some kind of cola. I am trying to

remember if when it was discussed if they attributed his death (the they in

this sentence would be the alternative people) to a combination of the

ephedra and asparatame, or if it was just heat and asparatame. What is

equally as foolish is even if it were 150 people from ephedra what is the

big deal (know that even one death is not right but continue reading) when

pharmaceuticals probably kill that many people in one day.

As to the Texas thing I would be checking into that one for sure. Did you

get that information off from a government site? Governments now often

have sites where they list the new possible legislation. Also I love

animals, but it would seem this could be a PETA or some other off the wall

organization that is trying to sneak a law through to stop using animals

for research.

Check out HB 1767 by going to the Texas Online site for the Texas

legislature. If passed, it will prevent all alternative therapies in this

state without a veterinarian's prescription. It states the board shall

adopt rules to protect the public....alternative therapy, including but

not limited to, acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy,

laser therapy, physical therapy, homeopathy, holistic medicine. Contact

your representatives and the Agriculture and Livestock committee and let

them know your opinion of the economic impact it will have on the animal

owners.l
