Sallysblooms Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 The FDA is doing it again... They are trying to take suppplements. The big pharmaceuticals want to control it all. The Act is in committee now. Millions are calling and emailing their senators and congressmen. You can google to get their phone numbers and email. The people I have talked to are very nice, at White House, Senetors office etc. Most Americans take supplements and vitamins so we need to keep them available. They are the only reason I am doing so well. Most people take them to stay strong and prevent problems when they are healthy. I and many others relieve symtoms, and they keep my immune system healthy. ALA healed my feet. There are so many wonderful supplements to help with our deficiencies.There is a petition to sign if you are so inclined, or you can call and give your opinion. One link is at the Life Extention Foundation.

firewatcher Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Grrrrrr!This is a sneaky, underhanded way to force pharmaceutical patents on things like the B vitamins. They limited the rebuttal and argument time to 45 days (Oct. 1st) and started it over July 4th so that there was less time to get letters in. Get ready to ask for a prescription for Vitamin C...

Sallysblooms Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yes, the pharmaceuticals want to control everything. They do not want to compete with our supplements. We cannot let them do it. FDA is in their pocket to put it mildly. It is very important that we all google and find the phone numbers and email addresses for our senators and congressmen. It is really easy and fast. Easy to call the White House too. This is so important. We do not want to lose our freedom to use supplements and vitamins. If you are opposed, then you can just tell them that you oppose the FDA Supplement act and want to keep our supplements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallysblooms Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I called more of the offices today. They are getting lots of calls. You can call if you want to voice opposition. SO serious for healthy and ill people.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/09/13/fda-to-ban-new-supplements-and-classify-them-like-food-preservatives.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathmcev Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Dr Mercola has been on this as well in his newsletter. I don't have the link but if you google him it'll be on his site - he has a lot of info on exactly what will happen if this goes thru. I already emailed my reps using Dr Mercola's form letter and got canned letters back saying I should write the FDA. I don't think they (my reps) are even aware of how bad this could be. I hope everyone calls & writes - it was public outcry that squashed this in 1994 - we have to do the same this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallysblooms Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yes, Dr. Mercola talks a lot about this on his site. I hope we all do all we can. So serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
