Fwd: Stop SB722- Keep Supplements Prescription Free

May 13, 2003

Hi everyone,

Here is the Senate Bill number and contact information needed to oppose the

legislation that will make vitamins/herbs/minerals available only through a

prescription.

Again, if this speaks to you please spread this information far and wide!

Be Well,

Misty

Stop Senate Bill 722

I received a notification that there is a bill coming before the Senate

introducted by a Senator in Illinois - Dick Durbin (D), who is trying to

get the Supplemental and dietary Act that was passed in 1994 revoked.

Which means we would no longer be able to buy and sell any kind of

viatmin, herbal or mineral supplements without strict controls such as by

prescription from a doctor (who don't know beans from bats about

supplements and herbs). I will find out more about this and let you know so

you can get the info out to your list about contacting their congressmen

about getting this bill stopped.

This pending legislation would grant " extreme and unnecessary expansion of FDA

authority over dietary supplements " .

You can email your senator thru this website -- and, there is a complete

discussion of the implication of the bill there, as well.

The New Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.
