We better wake up

To all:

Unfortunately, yet another threat to the availability of nutritional

supplements, and our therapy, has recently reared its head in Congress, this

time courtesy of Senator McCain.  Currently, McCain is trying to

generate support for his legislation, still in its early stages, entitled

The Dietary Supplement Safety Act.  The noble wording of the bill may sound

wonderful - as such documents do - but its real purpose seems to be to

enlarge FDA power over supplements and disassemble the Dietary Supplement

Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of the early 1990's which prevented the FDA

from classifying nutrients as drugs, or arbitrary banning particular

supplements at a whim.

Outwardly, the bill claims to be driven by the usual wish to " protect "

consumers from themselves, a stance prompted by the recent cases of a number

of professional athletes misusing certain hormones.  Those with knowledge of

Washington suspect that the real motivation is the FDA's universal wish to

severely restrict the availability of most if not all nutritional

supplements.

Below I provide a link to an online article explaining the situation in some

detail.  I suggest you read it carefully.  If you want your supplement

supply to continue, we all must fight this bill aggressively.  Contact

McCain's office, let his staff know how strongly you oppose this bill.

Offer to support his opponent in Arizona in this November election.  Contact

your own Senator and express your strong opposition to this legislation.

Calls, faxes and e-mails to your Senators work well.  You can obtain contact

information at www.senate.gov.  There is a mechanism to identify your

particular Senators by state.

....been following this forum for the past several months , I am a avid fan of

Natural remedies and try

to stay away from 'science' based big pharma ... although here in Canada we are

provided with a reasonable amount of 'health care'....there was an inquiry a

while back regarding sources of virgin coconut oil .. so I did a few calls and

found out that an acquiantance of mine who was and still is a 'top martial

artist' at the international level has family ties back in the Philippines and

they are promoting

VCO thru their Body,Mind,Spirit Training , he is now based in the US. His family

has been in the coconut industry for more than 50 years and to this day , they

still own and produce VCO.

I have taken the liberty to CC him on this email and anyone who wish to connect

with him and his family in the US pleas do so. There are 2 websites that you can

get info :

www.1coconutoil.com -- for your VCO

www.shirinocalla.com

May you all be blessed with great health!!!! I have enjoyed reading this

forum....
