Howdy, my friends,
Tyranny over natural health supplements iminent: May 29 ACT NOW!
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul246.html
The FDA is about to promulgate* a rule whereby all natural supplements and
substances, including water in some cases, will become regulated drugs which
you will be able to obtain only by prescription from an allopathic doctor
(an M. D.) Your right to treat yourself, take what you want when you want, to
control your own body in this way will be violated.
This is quite an emergency. We need to call our Congresspersons and Senators
quickly to stop this--and it absolutely has to be stopped. FDA also has a
comment period until May 29; the phone number is 1-800-216-7331.
The case docket number is 2006D-0480; it should be mentioned when calling.
There is also a comment form at:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/oc/dockets/comments/COMMENTSMain.CFM?EC_DO\
CUMENT_ID=1451&SUBTYP=CONTINUE&CID=&AGENCY=FDA
All individual choice and natural treatment options will be gone if this rule
goes into effect. The supplement industry that millions depend on for natural
health options will go out of business almost overnight.
The supplements available then will only be ones made by pharmaceutical
companies, and will likely be of extremely poor quality.
You can get contact info for your Reps. and Senators at www.house.gov and
www.senate.gov .
Even if the rule goes into effect, Congress can pass a law
overturning it at any time, so it's still very much worth contacting your
representatives in Washington.
*Promulgation (of executive branch rules): an unconstitutional process where
Congress long ago illegally delegated its lawmaking power to executive branch
agencies, such as the FDA, which issue regulations having the force of law.
The legislative power was granted to Congress in the Constitution, not the
Executive Branch, which the FDA is a part of. Do not limit your response to the
unconstitutional "comment" to the FDA!

I want to thank John Perna, who added a Capwiz link, the letter idea, and new
contact information to an original post I sent out about this.
Thanks so much, John. You have my permanent gratitude.
