FDA Attacks Complementary and Alternative Health Care

I just spent three days reading, re-reading, researching and discussing

the proposed FDA guidelines for " Complementary and Alternative Medicine " with

two FDA attorneys. You can download a copy of this proposal for yourself

below.

When I first heard about this FDA attack on complementary and

alternative health care, I considered it another " Chicken Little " rumor. On

further study, I'm appalled at the speed with which the pharmaceutical

companies are implementing Codex Alimentarius in the USA. If you don't suspect

the pharmaceutical companies control the FDA, you may want to research that

further by visiting (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org./)

This insidious proposal is designed to redefine every complementary and

alternative health care modality and product as " medicine. " This has direct

implications on the services and products provided by every alternative health

care professional. There is no facet of complementary and alternative health

care that is not affected. If the FDA adopts this proposal, all natural health

care would be illegal even for medical doctors.

Essential oils, herbs, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, minerals,

nutritional supplements, plant enzymes and vitamins are redefined in this

proposal as " medicine. " Very simply, medicine is under the jurisdiction of the

FDA and, by law, only licensed medical doctors may prescribe " medicines. "

Anybody else who advises, advocates, counsels, distributes, markets,

recommends or suggests anybody use " medicine " is practicing medicine without a

license. This is a felony in the USA punishable by fines and incarceration.

Aromatherapy, auricular therapy,! biofeed back, color therapy,

homeopathy, hypnotism, naturopathy, neurotherapy, nutritional consulting,

reflexology, sound therapy and wellness consulting are among the alternative

health modalities being redefined as " Alternative Medicine. "

This subtle change of vocabulary from " alternative health care " to

" alternative medicine " makes all of these industries subject to control by the

FDA as medicine. Only medical doctors would be allowed to provide, prescribe

and supervise the delivery of these services. Anybody else who provided any of

these services would be practicing medicine without a license and subject to

incarceration and fines.

That's the bad news.

The good news is we have until April 30, 2007 to voice our opinion

against this proposal to eliminate complementary and alternative health care

in America. Almost 100,000 people have already filed their objection.

According to Dr. Rima Laibow, medical director of the Natural Therapies

Foundation, we need 50 times that many people to respond by the end of the

month.
