Re: NNFA Action Alert...PLEASE!

[Guest guest]

FYI in the US,

Although the results of this Codex manipulated legislation hasn`t actually "hit the fan" yet, as I understand it, here in the UK this issue is likely already over: (- bar the shouting that may take place in the seemingly unlikely event that people ever actually realize just how much we are surreptitiously being robbed of ! )

-It would seem that regarding supplement legislation, effectively the UK is ALREADY "Up the Creek WITHOUT a Paddle"!!! .....................The significance just hasn`t sunk in here yet.................

This is really heavy oppressive stuff that is quietly & steadily being foisted on us all, -largely under the guise/pretense of phony "safety concerns" & "equal market" rationalizations:

Yeah, a world all equally, safely hog tied by the interests of the major pharmas!

I hope you guys in the US manage to focus & stir yourselves to take this threat seriously!...............

-Now!

....................... If you don`t act to prevent it, looks like you`re going to be joining us up the same creek pretty soon ........................................

Action Alert!

Tell Congress to Protect Dietary Supplements!

As you read this, Congress is considering new legislation that would take away your access to safe, effective and affordable dietary supplements. You can make a difference by urging your Representative to oppose The Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act (H.R. 3156) and any bill that would limit your choice and access to dietary supplements. Visit www.nnfa.org to work for healthy policies and make your voice heard.

BACKGROUND:The Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act (H.R. 3156), introduced by Representatives (D-CA), Waxman (D-CA), and Dingell (D-MI), this month, would place trusted vitamins, minerals, and herbs under unprecedented and unwarranted scrutiny. If H.R. 3156 becomes law, 70 percent of dietary supplements currently on the market would become subject to burdensome new regulations - some equivalent to those required for prescription drugs - driving up supplement prices for everyone and forcing well known dietary supplements to disappear from store shelves.

AREN'T SUPPLEMENTS ALREADY REGULATED?In 1994, Congress took an important step forward with passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) - federal legislation that requires manufacturers of all dietary supplements to ensure the products they put on the market are safe. The law holds manufacturers directly accountable for product safety and demands truth in labeling and advertising. These consumer safeguards give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration all the authority it needs to police the marketplace and keep bad products from being sold.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Write Your Representative

Let your lawmaker know that good laws exist on the books, and the FDA needs to enforce them. Please share your personal supplement story, so that your lawmaker understands why it's important to protect your access to dietary supplements. Click here to tell Congress to protect dietary supplements!
