Save your right to take supplements--deadline 5/29; call Congress also

[Guest guest]

Howdy, my friends,

 

 

The FDA is about to promulgate* a rule whereby all natural supplements

and substances, including water in some cases, will become regulated

drugs which you will be able to obtain only by prescription from an

allopathic doctor

(an M. D.) Your right to treat yourself, take what you want when you

want, to control your own body in this way will be violated.

 

This is quite an emergency. We need to call our Congresspersons and

Senators quickly to stop this--and it absolutely has to be stopped.

FDA also has a comment period until May 29; the phone number is

1-800-216-7331.

The case docket number is 2006D-0480; it should be mentioned when calling.

There is also a comment form at:

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/oc/dockets/comments/COMMENTSMain.CFM?EC_DO\

CUMENT_ID=1451 & SUBTYP=CONTINUE & CID= & AGENCY=FDA

 

All individual choice and natural treatment options will be gone if

this rule goes into effect. The supplement industry that millions

depend on for natural health options will go out of business almost

overnight.

The supplements available then will only be ones made by

prarmaceutical companies, and will likely be of extremely poor quality.

 

You can get contact info for your Reps. and Senators at www.house.gov

and www.senate.gov.

Even if the rule goes into effect, Congress can pass a law

overturning it at any time, so it's still very much worth contacting

your representatives in Washington.

 

Sincerely,

Scott Darby

 

 

 

*Promulgation (of executive branch rules): an unconstitutional process

where Congress long ago illegally delegated its lawmaking power to

executive branch agencies, such as the FDA, which issue regulations

having the force of law.

 

The legislative power was granted to Congress in the Constitution, not

the Executive Branch, which the FDA is a part of.
