[rugbyfanatics] If you work out, or even if not.....

 

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.

 

All individual choice and natural treatment options will be gone

if this rule goes into effect. The supplement industry that millions

depend on for their health will go out of business almost overnight.

The only supplements available then will be ones made by

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

 

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, as well as President Bush.

All individual choice and natural treatment options will be gone

overnight.

The supplements available then will only be ones made by

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

 

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

overturning it at any time. I ask that you introduce legislation

to stop the FDA from doing this, now or ever.

*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. Congress should

make its OWN " comment " to the FDA!
