Hello,
Take a look at these pages. The Government is taking aim at the supplement
industry again and this time the seem to mean business. If they succeed we
will lose the natural materials and how much further can the other goodies
we are using to sustain ourselves with be behind them? Please write
congress and oppose the new bill. I have written my representatives. I am
looking for other groups where I can post this message. Please repeat this
warning and urge anyone or group you know of that use supplements to
petition congress to preserve our ability to economically access these gifts
from God. Don't let them slip this one by under the radar, as they are
currently attempting to do.

If you live in New York might I suggest that you please write Ms. clinton
some hate mail (election wise) in the hopes she will feel the threat to her
re-election prospects if she proceeds as one of the prime movers of this
bill which she is at the present time. Everyone, PLEASE let your
representatives know that we will hold them accountable if they support such
sneaky activity.
Be aware that the AMA and drug industry are powerful lobbies and this is in
their interest so we must act now to protect our access. There was an issue
of JAMA entirely dedicated to supplements 3-5 years ago where they lamented
that supplements were the number two form of self paid, elective medicine in
America. They even admitted in that article that many of the natural, (and
therefore, UN-PATENT-ABLE) materials WORK BETTER OR AS WELL AS AND ARE SAFER
THAN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. They seemed to perceive that as an even greater
threat with several suggestions on how to suppress vitamins and herbal
materials in the public sector. They proposed to lobby congress to do
exactly this type of move in that article to deny us access to them and
drive that business to the traditional medical community and prescription
drugs. Please don't let them get away with it.
Thank you for your time and PLEASE HELP!
