IAHF List:

 

Please leave a note to yourself to go to

http://www.talkstarradio.com/hosts/emordpage.htm  on Saturday at 2 PM Pacific

time to tune in Attorney Jonathan

Emord's radio show.

 

His guest will be Byron Richards, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, author of

Fight For Your Health- Exposing FDA's Betrayal of America and a regular

columnist on News With Views on Health Freedom issues. If you haven't already

read

Richard's alerts about S.1082/HR 1561- see his most recent one here:

http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron31.htm 

 

Emord has done more to defend your access to dietary supplements than any

attorney in the world and you can trust him when he tells you we MUST amend

S.1082/HR 1561 or health freedom will be totally destroyed. You can see

transcripts

of his legal victories over the FDA on his website at http://www.emord.com 

 

They'll be discussing The FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 2007

(S.1082/HR 1561) with specific emphasis on how this " must pass " legislation WILL

TORPEDO DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act), unless we can get

an

AMENDMENT into it to specifically protect dietary supplements.

 

NSF ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO HIJACK HEALTH FREEDOM MOVEMENT WITH DISINFO RE:

CAM GUIDANCE DOC

 

With the so called " Natural Solutions Foundation " once again attempting to

DISTRACT the grass roots by misdirecting people to write to the unelected

bureaucrats at FDA about the CAM Guidance Document, its VERY IMPORTANT that all

of

you actively REACH OUT to more people to urge them to tune in this all

important radio show so that they can truly UNDERSTAND whats going on, and what

to do

about it!! Especially urge health food stores to tune in, and to play it loud

enough for customers in their stores to hear the broadcast! See specific

instructions below on what to do, and get them into every health food store in

your

area!

 

NSF is a controlled opposition group operating inside the health freedom

movement. IAHF and Allied groups won't give them the time of day because they're

actively misleading the public by misdirecting people into dead ends. Once

again: we have ZERO LEVERAGE over the unelected bureaucrats at the FDA. You can

send them comments til you're blue in the face and they'll just IGNORE them all,

but FDA cannot make law, only Congress can!

 

People who waste their time sending comments to FDA about the CAM Guidance

Document are playing right into FDA's hands, because when they do that and FAIL

to put ALL their energy into DEFENDING DSHEA by working to get an amendment

into S.1082/HR 1561 to specifically protect dietary supplements, they create the

situation where FDA can attack us the way they say they WANT TO in the CAM

Guidance Document.

 

Hopefully this painfully obvious truth will sink into enough people's brains

that more of you can help IAHF and Allied Groups to COUNTER NSF's

Disinformation Campaign which is intended to DESTROY health freedom. Never

forward an

enemies campaign. If you know anyone who is receiving NSF's so called " alerts " ,

do

us a favor and urge that person to and to stop forwarding garbage

which undermines our movement. So the FDA has extended their " Comments

Period " on CAM Guidance Document? My response: " So WHAT??? " Its IRRELEVANT! THE

REAL

ISSUE IS TO DEFEND DSHEA BY GETTING AN AMENDMENT INTO S.1082/HR 1561

 

Keep in mind here that this bill MUST PASS congress before August recess or

else the Prescription Drug User Fee Act will expire and they're not going to

let that happen, so we MUST get our amendment in, and as the summer wears on, it

gets HARDER and HARDER to rally the grass roots! Thats why NSF's so called

" alert " is so reprehensible, and all of us must work together to overcome their

efforts to destroy health freedom.

 

WHAT YOU MUST DO:

 

1. Read this alert http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron31.htm 

 

2. At the end of it you'll find this form letter, please send it in to your

Senators and Congressman: (hypertext links shown below don't work, go to the

News With Views article to read them)

 

Changes in Proposed Bills

 

Proposed amendment to S 1082 and HR 1561:

 

The bills are hereby amended to prohibit the Foundation or Institute from

evaluating the health benefit or efficacy of foods, dietary ingredients, and

dietary supplements and to limit review of foods, dietary ingredients and

dietary

supplements to a determination of whether they are safe. In assessing whether

dietary ingredients and dietary supplements are safe, the Foundation or

Institute shall not compare product risks with health benefits or efficacy.

Instead,

the Foundation or Institute shall determine whether the product presents a

significant risk of illness or injury under conditions of use recommended or

suggested in labeling, or if no conditions of use are recommended or suggested

in

labeling, under ordinary conditions of use.

 

Health Freedom is on the Line

 

It is vitally important to send the following message to all members of the

House and keep flooding the Senate (as there will be a conference committee).

It is also important to send this message to Senators Hatch and Harkin (the

original designers of DHSEA) and Kennedy and Enzi (who claim they are not trying

to regulate dietary supplements with this legislation). These Senators must

hear from the American public as they will determine the fate of this amendment

when it reaches the conference committee. Success will require significant

support from the people.  Thank you.

HR 1561 (senate bill S.1082) - Please Amend to Protect Dietary Supplements

 

May 16, 2007

 

The Honorable (Representative or Senator First and Last Name)

 

Address

Address

 

Dear Representative (or Senator) Last Name;

 

The Senate has recently passed bill S1082, commonly known as the FDA

Revitalization Act. I am concerned that the legislation, as currently written,

opens

the door for considerable regulatory confusion enabling the FDA to use this

legislation to undermine my access to safe and effective dietary supplements.

 

There must be no confusing the safety of drugs and the safety of food and

food ingredients – which are governed by different laws. I am sure you and

other

members of Congress are not intending to create such concern among the 150

million Americans who rely on dietary supplements to assist their health, and

this matter is easily corrected with the following amendment, which will not in

any way stop the FDA from identifying truly contaminated food that poses a risk

to human health.

 

Changes in Existing Law

 

The following provides a print of the existing statute or part or section

thereof to be amended or replaced (existing law proposed to be omitted is

enclosed

in black brackets, existing law in which no change is proposed is shown in

roman):

 

CHAPTER IV – FOOD

 

SEC. 402

(f) –

 

       (1) If it is a dietary supplement or contains a dietary ingredient

that –

       (A) presents a significant [or unreasonable] risk of illness or

injury

under—

 

                   (i) conditions of use recommended or

suggested in

labeling, or

                   (ii) if no conditions of use are suggested

or recommended

in the

 

            labeling, under ordinary conditions of use:

 

Changes in Proposed Bills

 

Proposed amendment to S 1082 and HR 1561:

 

The bills are hereby amended to prohibit the Foundation or Institute from

evaluating the health benefit or efficacy of foods, dietary ingredients, and

dietary supplements and to limit review of foods, dietary ingredients and

dietary

supplements to a determination of whether they are safe. In assessing whether

dietary ingredients and dietary supplements are safe, the Foundation or

Institute shall not compare product risks with health benefits or efficacy.

Instead,

the Foundation or Institute shall determine whether the product presents a

significant risk of illness or injury under conditions of use recommended or

suggested in labeling, or if no conditions of use are recommended or suggested

in

labeling, under ordinary conditions of use. Please help preserve my rights

and support this amendment. For part 1 click below.

 

 

After Acting on this alert, please forward it to more people and please

download the info to get around to health food stores in your area, let me know

what you're doing. I will be going to DC to push for an amendment, but I must

see

a groundswell of grass roots activism because without a lot of you backing me

up, I can't accomplish anything on Capital Hill by myself.

 

This is NOT a drill folks!

This is for ourselves and for future generations.
