Health Freedom Under Relentless Siege!

 

 

Health Freedom Under Relentless Siege!

It seems to me that not a day goes by without a new attack on your right

to choose healthy foods and supplements. I fear that public apathy is

empowering federal agencies to destroy our individual liberties.

Many of you are aware of the FDA’s corrupt ban of pyridoxamine last year.

This form of vitamin B6 was being sold as a low-cost supplement to protect

against age-accelerating glycation reactions in the body. A pharmaceutical

company convinced the FDA to outlaw pyridoxamine supplements and turn this

safe form of B6 into a prescription drug … one that has not yet been

approved!

Life Extension® was able to get around the lethal effects of the FDA’s

decree by substituting pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, a form of vitamin B6 with

similar anti-glycation properties. Now another pharmaceutical company has

petitioned the FDA asking that pyridoxal 5’-phosphate be banned so that it

too

can be converted into a high-priced prescription drug.

anti-glycation nutrient, _click here_

FDA Says Walnuts Are Illegal Drugs

On February 22, 2010, the FDA sent a warning letter to a distributor of

packaged walnuts called Diamond Foods, Inc.

The FDA said that walnuts sold by Diamond Foods cannot be legally marketed

because the walnuts “are not generally recognized as safe and effectiveâ€

for the medical conditions referenced on Diamond Foods’ website.

According to the FDA, these walnuts are now classified as “drugs†and the

“unauthorized health claims†cause them to become “misbranded,†thus

subjecting them to government “seizure or injunction.â€

The FDA sent similar letters to a wide range of food distributors

including those who sell green tea and pomegranate juice.

David versus Goliath

For the first time in history, prescription drug sales in the U.S. topped

$300 billion in 2009. That’s more than ten times the amount spent on

dietary supplements.

Pharmaceutical companies are showering Congress and regulatory agencies

(like the FDA) with dollars in order to further their monopolistic

stranglehold over today’s broken medical system. The recent enactment of the

Health

Care Reform Act will further enrich pharmaceutical interests by making sure

tax dollars are available to subsidize everyone’s over-priced drug costs.

The citizenry is destined to become economic serfs of the pharmaceutical

industry unless they stand up against this latest reign of oppression.

Please register your protests against these heinous attempts to deprive

Americans of healthy foods and supplements.

What Would the Founding Fathers Say About This?

If only we could resurrect those who founded this country, it would be

fascinating to hear their reactions to the egregious degree our Constitution

has been subverted.

The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776. This

momentous document was authored by Thomas Jefferson.

Considering the 4th of July ranks amongst the top five holidays celebrated

in the United States each year, it is startling how much liberty we have

allowed our government to rob us of.

One can view the many quotes of Thomas Jefferson by logging on to any

number of websites dedicated to him. What’s amazing is how timely his words

remain after more than 200 years have passed.

Here are a few examples of Thomas Jefferson’s inspirational quotes that

reveal what he might say about the federal government controlling what we are

allowed to learn about foods and what nutrients we are allowed to ingest:

“Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies

would be in such keeping as our souls are now. “

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to

remain silent.â€

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people

alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.â€

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from

too much government.â€

“History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.â€

“I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but

the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to

exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take

it

from them but to inform their discretion.â€

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the

government fears the people, there is liberty.â€

“I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always

oppressive.â€

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the

government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking

care

of them.â€

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much

liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.â€

“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A

principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.â€

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within

limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the

limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always

so when it violates the rights of the individual.â€

“Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of

himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we

found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this

question.â€

“Most bad government has grown out of too much government. “

Americans of healthy foods and supplements.
