Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Sorry,forgot to include these important links to government representatives-see below!!!! To all my friends, Please send this to all your friends…tell the US not to comply with the UN Sanction/Codex Alimentarius which denies the public access to vitamins/minerals, & supplements of ALL KINDS. TELL THE FDA THAT YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO REGULATE OR HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT IN OUR FREEDOM OF CHOICE. WE DO NOT WANT HOUSE/SENATE BILLS THAT DENY, WE THE PUBLIC, DIRECT ACCESS TO OUR ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES. TELL YOUR SENATORS/CONGRESSMAN TO SUPPORT The Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA) in its " ORIGINAL FORM " ...before the Senate altered it, thus, opening it to regulation by the FDA. If we do nothing, by August 2005, it will be illegal to purchase supplements, something as simple as Vitamin C. Only your doctor can prescribe it and instead of $10, it will be $200 or more...NO JOKE!!! READ BELOW AND PUT YOUR COMMENTS TO FDA BEFORE FEB.1 and after ... ASAP… AND EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!!! FDA OPEN COMMENT PERIOD ENDS FEBRUARY 1, 2005 As stated below, the FDA is reviewing portions of the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). Dietary supplements should not be treated like drugs. Urge the FDA to act in harmony with the intent of Congress when it passed DSHEA in 1994.
