supplement threat

[Guest guest]

from The Bolen Report:

 

If you're one of the millions of Americans who enjoy and benefit from anti-aging

supplements such as DHEA and pregnenolone, you have reason to be concerned.

Certain members of Congress are intent on taking them away from you and placing

you under arrest if you possess them! Sound far-fetched? It's frighteningly

real, yet almost no one in the anti-aging/life-extension community is aware of

the threat.

The villain is the so-called " Anti-Andro Bill " -H.R. 207- introduced last

October in the House by U.S. Representatives Sweeney and Osborne. Purporting to

address the use of muscle-building " andro " supplements by teens, this wildly

overbroad bill would have devastating effects on mature adults throughout

America. It would actually permit the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to

schedule a wide variety of currently over-the-counter nutritional supplements as

controlled substances. In effect, this bill would authorize the arrest and

criminal prosecution of millions of Americans as drug offenders-just for

possessing supplements like DHEA, 7- keto DHEA and pregnenolone. Those caught

with these currently legal supplements -proven to have powerful health and

anti-aging benefits -would even be subject to federal asset forfeiture laws,

permitting the government to seize and retain private property! All this would

be done by making an end-run around the proper lawful procedures, and without

any evidence of legitimate public health concerns or dangers to American adults.

The bill seeks to deal a staggering blow to nutritional supplement freedom and

the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
