NEWS RELEASE

THE FDA's SCHEME TO RECLASSIFY NUTRIENTS AS DRUGS

By Byron J. s, CCN

August 6, 2011

The FDA and Senator Durbin’s latest attack against the dietary supplement

industry should leave consumers for natural health options at affordable

prices up in arms. This attack will target some of the most popular and

effective dietary supplements, removing them from the free market and placing

them under control of large pharmaceutical companies. This move will

drastically drive up the price of dietary supplements while severely limiting

access to extremely safe and effective nutrients. For example, the

GlaxoKline prescription drug version of DHA fish oil (at a therapeutic

dose) sells

for $189 a month, whereas the equivalent, therapeutic amount of

molecularly-distilled DHA sells for $35 a month in the dietary supplement

marketplace. Proven to lower triglyceride levels at therapeutic amounts, it is

not

surprising that DHA is one of the first nutrients the FDA plans to go after.

Other powerful nutrients, such as curcumin and resveratrol, are soon to

follow.

This is the second article in what will be a series of articles on this

critical topic. In my first article, “_Senator Durbin & the FDA Viciously

Attack Dietary Supplements_

(http://www.newswithviews.com/s/byron210.htm) ,†I outlined the scope

and nature of the attack and called readers to

take action. And it is still critically important that you do take action,

so please visit the _TAKE ACTION_ (http://www.thenhf.com/page.php?id=279)

page immediately following reading this article.

The action on the website directs you to send an email to the FDA to

comment on the guidance and proposed regulation. Unfortunately FDA does not

have

to listen to you. Your congressmembers do. Select and copy the form letter

and paste it onto your congressmember and Senators websites, you will also

have to begin the letter by urging your representative to contact FDA and

urge them to withdraw the regulation._CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE NEWS
