FDA threatens access to natural care, juices and even yoga props

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Friends,

This is really Scary! There is a crisis in health freedom. On April

30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a " Guidance "

which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only

licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals,

herbs, juices, etc., will suddenly become " untested drugs " which will be

forbidden.

Bad? Real Bad! But public outcry can stop this assault on your health

and your freedom.

Spread the word! Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence,

professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies,

everyone! Let them know how important their participation is to make

sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

 

Things that will be regulated out of existence

 

It is very clear that the FDA is intending to regulate and ultimately

destroy the entire CAM industry (Complementary and Alternative

Medicine). Based on the explanations in the FDA's own document, the

following things are likely to occur:

 

* All vitamins, nutritional supplements and functional foods will be

stripped of their structure & function claims, reducing them to

empty labels where virtually nothing at all is allowed to be stated.

* Vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug. Raw juice retreats

will be raided or shut down.

* Growing and selling common garden herbs will get you arrested as a

drug dealer.

* Massage oils and handheld massagers will be regulated as " medical

devices. "

* Yoga props, pilates machines and weight machines will be regulated

as " medical devices " and require FDA approval before being sold or

used.

* Raw sprouts and other anti-cancer foods will be regulated as drugs.

* Bottled water that " treats " dehydration will be regulated as a drug.

* Massage therapists who use hot rocks as part of their therapy will

have the ROCKS regulated as medical devices! (It's true. The FDA

will actually look at a pile of rocks and declare, " Those are

medical devices! " )

* Functional foods, supplements, vitamins and homeopathic remedies

will disappear from store shelves, pending FDA " review. " (The only

things remaining will be processed junk foods and pharmaceuticals,

which is exactly what Big Business wants.)

* Therapeutic tea products, such as green tea, will be outlawed and

confiscated.

* Vitamin store owners will be arrested and prosecuted for

" practicing medicine without a license. "

* Citizens owning personal inventories of " unapproved drugs "

(vitamins and herbs) may have their homes raided at gunpoint and

their inventories confiscated by armed law enforcement agents.

* The importation of herbs and functional foods from all countries

may be banned.

 

Keep in mind that the FDA is the same agency that:

 

* Wants to label irradiated foods as " pasteurized. "

* Voted to put the deadly drug Vioxx back on the market after tens

of thousands of deaths, even after its own manufacturer pulled it

from pharmacies.

* Raided a church at gunpoint, confiscating biofeedback machines and

charging that they were " practicing medicine " by counseling church

members on issues like depression.

* Openly allows corrupt, " on the take " experts to vote on new drug

approvals, even when those experts are taking money from the same

companies impacted by their votes.

* Refuses to legalize stevia, the safe, natural herbal sweetener

that's used virtually everywhere else in the world. The agenda?

Protect the profits of aspartame and other chemical sweeteners.

* Openly allows the mass poisoning of the public with cancer-causing

food additives such as sodium nitrite.

* Refuses to enforce its own laws regarding unsafe chemical toxins

in personal care products, allowing perfume and lotion companies

to continue poisoning the public with cancer-causing chemicals

that don't even have to be listed on the label, nor proven safe.

* Ordered the destruction of recipe books that mentioned stevia. (A

campaign to keep the public ignorant of the herb.)

* Does everything in its power to protect drug company profits,

including discrediting herbs, supplements and alternative medicine.

 

Does anyone honestly believe that this criminal organization has any

capacity whatsoever to act in the public interest? Even many Senators

are fed up with the FDA's unprecedented level of corruption and criminal

behavior.
