CODEX sneak attack on supplements :> Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173) Fwd: URGENT ACTION NEEDED - CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAYThe Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173), recently passed in the House of Representatives, includes language going

far beyond finance inserted by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA). This language could be used

for an end run around the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), the legislation that governs dietary supplement regulation by the FDA. See the forwarded e-mail for more about that.Note:There are a few of you in the Bcc that are well aware of the CODEX " situation "

And I do hope that people could start contacting each other and working together.Though orchestrating various organizations does seem more like trying to herd cats.While Raymond Francis is an authority on nutritional supplements (with a multitude of

free news letter articles) and his attached e-mail is very important, John Hammell isthe hands down authority on legislative manipulations with regard to CODEX.

Much of this is censored from the main news media.If you are not up on the CODEX vitamins " situation "

To CODEX Vitamin Issue " , by John Hammell atInternational Advocates For Health Freedomhttp://www.nocodexgenocide.com/nocodexgenocide.html

URGENT ACTION NEEDED!

Dear Friend,

I wanted to make you aware of an urgent matter. Congress is once again trying to " sneak " provisions tacked onto largely unrelated bills that are likely to pass. A glaring recent example was tacking onto the Healthcare bill a complete change to student loans. Often the " sneak " provision is so buried that hardly anyone is aware of it.

The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173), recently passed in the House of Representatives, includes language going far beyond finance inserted by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA). This language could be used for an end run around the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), the legislation that governs dietary supplement regulation by the FDA.

Specifically, the Waxman provision would return to the FTC powers that Congress had stripped away in the 1980's because of abuses, powers to create new regulations without prior Congressional approval. We know that the FTC would like to use such powers to impose new and crippling requirements on supplement companies.

Contact your Senator today!

Please tell your senators not to support any amendments that give FTC unchecked power to over-regulate areas they don't understand, including dietary supplements.You can find and send your senator an email by going to www.senate.gov. For your convenience, you may use the text listed below.

Please Oppose Any Amendment to S. 3217 That Would Give the FTC Unchecked Powers

Dear Senator [Decision Maker],

Please oppose any amendments to the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 (S. 3217) that would give the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) power to impose new regulations without prior Congressional approval.

Congress stripped the FTC of this authority decades ago after the FTC repeatedly abused it. Giving the FTC power to promulgate new regulations would mean that five unelected commissioners would be able to issue binding rules in a wide range of areas, including the regulation of dietary supplements, an area of special concern to me that is currently governed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

At the present time, the FTC takes the position that supplement companies should produce results from at least two random controlled human trials to show substantial support for any advertized health claim, even claims permitted by the FDA under DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

The FTC's position demonstrates its complete lack of knowledge about the supplement industry. A requirement for human trials on natural and therefore unpatentable substances would mean that such substances would either not be produced and sold, the likely outcome, or their prices would skyrocket.

Supplements are already sufficiently regulated by the FDA under DSHEA. We should not give the FTC power to circumvent DSHEA by adding new, onerous, and unneeded requirements. Please vote against any amendment to the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 (S. 3217) that would once again give the FTC power to impose new regulations without prior Congressional approval.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,[Your Name][Your Address][City, State ZIP]

Thank you for your action on this very important matter.

Sincerely,

Raymond Francis
