THE NATIONAL PREVENTION, HEALTH PROMOTION, AND PUBLIC HEALTH COUNCIL

[Guest guest]

This is the entire text of the executive order. No number has been

posted to it yet in the Federal Register's on line database.

I spoke to the Executive Clerk's Office, the National Archives of

Records Administration and their librarian, who said he would

try to find out the number and call me back. Eventually it will be in

the data base, but that might take a month to show up in an

on line search. I also tried to find out more info from the Surgeon

General's office but only got voice mail. I did leave a message

with Olga how is in the person the operator said would handle my

call. .

My guess is that this will be use to selectively enforce action against

supplements that post a perceived economic threat to the

pharmaceutical industry. If they truly tried to impose severe

restrictions over night there would be riots in the streets. Although

it may not be a bad idea to be stock piling seeds for growing herbs and

heritage varieties of foods, which many people have

already thought to do.

Barter may be our final recourse if this issue is pushed into a full

blown war between alt health and big pharma. There's lots of

ways to work around supply issues, although your favorite supplement

could eventually disappear from the health food store

shelf, or the local health food store itself might shut down, there is a

long history of an underground supply line when big

government or powerful interests try to take away essentials and

freedoms to choose.
