Pacific Time re Dire Need to Amend S.1082/HR1561

Attorney Jonathan Emord.........John Hammell With Byron Richards DC Book

Expo

IAHF List: Please leave a note to yourself to go to

http://www.talkstarradio.com/hosts/emordpage.htm on Saturday at 2 PM Pacific

time to tune in Attorney Jonathan Emord's radio show.

His guest will be Byron Richards, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, author of

Fight For Your Health- Exposing FDA's Betrayal of America and a regular

columnist on News With Views on Health Freedom issues. If you haven't

already read Richard's alerts about S.1082/HR 1561- see his most recent one

here: http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron31.htm

Emord has done more to defend your access to dietary supplements than any

attorney in the world and you can trust him when he tells you we MUST amend

S.1082/HR 1561 or health freedom will be totally destroyed. You can see

transcripts of his legal victories over the FDA on his website at

http://www.emord.com

They'll be discussing The FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 2007

(S.1082/HR 1561) with specific emphasis on how this " must pass " legislation

WILL TORPEDO DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act), unless we

can get an AMENDMENT into it to specifically protect dietary supplements.

NSF ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO HIJACK HEALTH FREEDOM MOVEMENT WITH DISINFO RE

CAM GUIDANCE DOC

With the so called " Natural Solutions Foundation " once again attempting to

DISTRACT the grass roots by misdirecting people to write to the unelected

bureaucrats at FDA about the CAM Guidance Document, its VERY IMPORTANT that

all of you actively REACH OUT to more people to urge them to tune in this

all important radio show so that they can truly UNDERSTAND whats going on,

and what to do about it!! Especially urge health food stores to tune in, and

to play it loud enough for customers in their stores to hear the broadcast!

See specific instructions below on what to do, and get them into every

health food store in your area!

NSF is a controlled opposition group operating inside the health freedom

movement. IAHF and Allied groups won't give them the time of day because

they're actively misleading the public by misdirecting people into dead

ends. Once again: we have ZERO LEVERAGE over the unelected bureaucrats at

the FDA. You can send them comments til you're blue in the face and they'll

just IGNORE them all, but FDA cannot make law, only Congress can!

People who waste their time sending comments to FDA about the CAM Guidance

Document are playing right into FDA's hands, because when they do that and

FAIL to put ALL their energy into DEFENDING DSHEA by working to get an

amendment into S.1082/HR 1561 to specifically protect dietary supplements,

they create the situation where FDA can attack us the way they say they WANT

TO in the CAM Guidance Document.

Hopefully this painfully obvious truth will sink into enough people's brains

that more of you can help IAHF and Allied Groups to COUNTER NSF's

Disinformation Campaign which is intended to DESTROY health freedom. Never

forward an enemies campaign. If you know anyone who is receiving NSF's so

called " alerts " , do us a favor and urge that person to and to

stop forwarding garbage which undermines our movement. So the FDA has

extended their " Comments Period " on CAM Guidance Document? My response: " So

WHAT??? " Its IRRELEVANT! THE REAL ISSUE IS TO DEFEND DSHEA BY GETTING AN

AMENDMENT INTO S.1082/HR 1561

Keep in mind here that this bill MUST PASS congress before August recess or

else the Prescription Drug User Fee Act will expire and they're not going to

let that happen, so we MUST get our amendment in, and as the summer wears

on, it gets HARDER and HARDER to rally the grass roots! Thats why NSF's so

called " alert " is so reprehensible, and all of us must work together to

overcome their efforts to destroy health freedom.

WHAT YOU MUST DO:

1. Read this alert http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron31.htm

2. At the end of it you'll find this form letter, please send it in to your

Senators and Congressman: (hypertext links shown below don't work, go to the

Changes in Proposed Bills

Proposed amendment to S 1082 and HR 1561:

The bills are hereby amended to prohibit the Foundation or Institute from

evaluating the health benefit or efficacy of foods, dietary ingredients, and

dietary supplements and to limit review of foods, dietary ingredients and

dietary supplements to a determination of whether they are safe. In

assessing whether dietary ingredients and dietary supplements are safe, the

Foundation or Institute shall not compare product risks with health benefits

or efficacy. Instead, the Foundation or Institute shall determine whether

the product presents a significant risk of illness or injury under

conditions of use recommended or suggested in labeling, or if no conditions

of use are recommended or suggested in labeling, under ordinary conditions

of use.

Health Freedom is on the Line

It is vitally important to send the following message to all members of the

House and keep flooding the Senate (as there will be a conference

committee). It is also important to send this message to Senators Hatch and

Harkin (the original designers of DHSEA) and Kennedy and Enzi (who claim

they are not trying to regulate dietary supplements with this legislation).

These Senators must hear from the American public as they will determine the

fate of this amendment when it reaches the conference committee. Success

will require significant support from the people. Thank you.

To get information on contacting Senators,

To contact your House Representative,

Please send the following message.

HR 1561 (senate bill S.1082) - Please Amend to Protect Dietary Supplements

May 16, 2007

The Honorable (Representative or Senator First and Last Name)

Address

Dear Representative (or Senator) Last Name;

The Senate has recently passed bill S1082, commonly known as the FDA

Revitalization Act. I am concerned that the legislation, as currently

written, opens the door for considerable regulatory confusion enabling the

FDA to use this legislation to undermine my access to safe and effective

dietary supplements.

There must be no confusing the safety of drugs and the safety of food and

food ingredients - which are governed by different laws. I am sure you and

other members of Congress are not intending to create such concern among the

150 million Americans who rely on dietary supplements to assist their

health, and this matter is easily corrected with the following amendment,

which will not in any way stop the FDA from identifying truly contaminated

food that poses a risk to human health.

Changes in Existing Law

The following provides a print of the existing statute or part or section

thereof to be amended or replaced (existing law proposed to be omitted is

enclosed in black brackets, existing law in which no change is proposed is

shown in roman):

CHAPTER IV - FOOD

SEC. 402

(f) -

(1) If it is a dietary supplement or contains a dietary ingredient that -

(A) presents a significant [or unreasonable] risk of illness or injury

under-

(i) conditions of use recommended or suggested in labeling, or

(ii) if no conditions of use are suggested or recommended in the

labeling, under ordinary conditions of use:
