Proposed FDA Action May Cause an Exponential Decrease in Health
In a continuation of its policy to support the pharmaceutical industry by limiting freedom of access to health-giving nutritional products, the FDA is set to ban many perfectly safe natural health products. Citizens must take action to protect their right to proper nutrition, which is almost impossible without supplementation.
Washington, DC (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 18, 2005 -- In a continuation of its policy to support the
pharmaceutical industry by limiting freedom of access to health-giving
nutritional products, the FDA is set to ban many perfectly safe natural health
products. Citizens must take action to protect their right to proper nutrition,
which is almost impossible without supplementation.
For some years, the
pharmaceutical lobby has been successful in having the FDA tighten the screw on
the nutritional products that keep many people from ill-health, whilst approving
dangerous, health-damaging drugs as “treatments” (e.g. In American hospitals
alone, 106,000 people die every year due to drug side-effects, whilst precisely
none die from nutrition-related side-effects.)
In fact, Doctors are now
the leading cause of death in the USA – causing more deaths than cancer or heart
disease, and costing over 700 lives every day.
Not content with this
situation, the FDA is now setting up the killer blow for the manufacturers and
retailers of the nutritional supplements and natural health products many rely
on to stay healthy. Having failed the first time round, the FDA is “reviewing”
the DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act, Docket 2004N-0454), with
the clear intent of making many perfectly safe and popular natural supplements
illegal.
Prior to the original bill in 1994, 2.5 Million concerned
citizens contacted Congress to make their concerns known with the result that
these products were correctly classified as “foods” rather than “drugs” of “food
additives”. A similar response is now required if perfectly safe, health-giving
supplements are not to be lost now for good, along with the right to protect
one's health as you see fit.
Concerned citizens should contact their
member of Congress (http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm),
representative (http://www.house.gov/writerep/) or visit the Health Action
Center (http://www.healthactioncenter.com), where they can get more
information.
