Senate Bill 722 is up for votes. It will restrict your freedom to use
vitamins and minerals, almost certainly cripple the supplement
industry,
and clearly endanger your health and that of your loved ones.

The bill was created in reaction to fears about ephedra and is backed
by Richard Durbin (D-Il) and co-sponsored by Hillary Clinton (D-NY),
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Schumer (D-NY).

On his website, Dr. Julian Whitaker writes, "Some of you might
remember
the pre-DSHEA days when the FDA was completely out of control.

They raided the offices of nutritional physicians like Jonathan
Wright,
MD, of Kent, Washington. They barged into manufacturing facilities
and
seized natural substances such as stevia and GLA. They authorized the
removal of coenzyme Q-10 and other supplements from health food
stores,
claiming they were illegal.

They refused to allow any information on nutritional supplement
labels
that would help consumers make informed choices. They mandated that
many supplements now sold over the counter require a prescription,
making them more expensive and less accessible.

This is the kind of tyranny we experienced then and if you think this
kind of stuff couldn't happen again, you're wrong."
