here is a copy seen on another forum WE MUST ACT BEFORE APRIL 30, 2007. GO TO http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc Comments on FDA Guidance for CAM Products and Regulation FDA Regulators Using Legal Trickery to Kill Alternative Procedures and Products The FDA is using legal maneuvering to end your access to natural health products (like vitamins, minerals and herbs) and natural health therapies of all sorts. Again. This time, their ploy is to declare the therapies are "Medicine" so any non-physician who uses them will be practicing medicine without a license. Since these practices are "Medicine", any products used would be untested drugs and therefore forbidden. Your Comments are Vitally Important Public, professional and industry comments are being accepted on the FDA proposal to "capture" alternative procedures and products as "medicine" and then make them illegal. The history of these repressive attacks by the FDA makes it clear that public outcry, IN HUGE NUMBERS, is the only effective tool that natural health supporters have to change this disastrous outcome. Comments will be accepted until April 30. By contacting everyone you can reach to ask for their participation in this comment campaign, we can kill this assault on personal health freedom. Please send the link (http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc) to this page to everyone you can reach with a brief explanation of the issues. Urge everyone in your personal and professional circles of influence to protect their health freedom -- their personal right to make their own health choices. It is important to take a moment to email the manufacturers of the health care products you take an ask them to alert their suppliers and customer base to protect their businesses. Your natural health care providers need to alert their patients and colleagues, too. Thanks for your activism! Rima E.

I signed and I think it is the duty of anyone here to sign that thinks you may ever need anything to improve your health besides prescriptions. By 2009, the plan is that we will have access to NONE of these things.

Same old, same old, with the FDA. Why even bother with the pretense that the FDA is designed to protect American consumers ? They work for Big/Pharma. Period. End of story.
Let Big/Pharma fund them and save the taxpayers some money. Oh wait, that's right, they already pay FDA employees fee's for research, speaking engagements, etc. Everytime Congress slaps their hand they come back with something even more outrageous.
These guys are the ATF on steroids. Heck, they make the ATF look like a knitting class. They can't even make sure pet food is safe and they want to regulate vitamins and supps ? Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
