FYI - this is an important issue for all of us in the USA:

 

FDA Attacks Complementary and Alternative Health Care

 

(Posted by: " John Gilbert " _drjohngilbert -at- charter.net _

 

I just spent three days reading, re-reading, researching and

discussing the

proposed FDA guidelines for " Complementary and Alternative Medicine " with

two FDA attorneys. You can download a copy of this proposal for

yourself at:

_http://www.fda.http://wwwhttp://www.fda.http://www.fda.http_

(http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dockets/06d0480/06d0480.htm.)

 

When I first heard about this FDA attack on complementary and alternative

health care, I considered it another " Chicken Little " rumor. On further

study, I'm appalled at the speed with which the pharmaceutical companies

are implementing Codex Alimentarius in the USA. If you don't suspect the

pharmaceutical companies control the FDA, you may want to research that

further by visiting _http://www.HealthFrhttp://wwhttp_

(http://www.healthfreedomusa.org./)

 

This insidious proposal is designed to redefine every complementary and

alternative health care modality and product as " medicine. " This has

direct

implications on the services and products provided by every alternative

health care professional. There is no facet of complementary and

alternative health care that is not affected. If the FDA adopts this

proposal, all natural health care would be illegal even for medical

doctors.

 

Essential oils, herbs, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, minerals,

nutritional supplements, plant enzymes and vitamins are redefined in this

proposal as " medicine. " Very simply, medicine is under the

jurisdiction of

the FDA and, by law, only licensed medical doctors may prescribe

" medicines. " Anybody else who advises, advocates, counsels, distributes,

markets, recommends or suggests

anybody use " medicine " is practicing medicine without a license.

This is a

felony in the USA punishable by fines and incarceration.

 

Aromatherapy, auricular therapy, biofeedback, color therapy, homeopathy,

hypnotism, naturopathy, neurotherapy, nutritional consulting,

reflexology,

sound therapy and wellness consulting are among the alternative health

modalities being redefined as " Alternative Medicine. " This subtle

change of

vocabulary from " alternative health care " to " alternative medicine " makes

all

of these industries subject to control by the FDA as medicine. Only

medical

doctors would be allowed to provide, prescribe and supervise the

delivery

of these services. Anybody else who provided any of these services

would be

practicing medicine without a license and subject to incarceration and

fines.

 

That's the bad news. The good news is we have until April 30, 2007 to

voice

our opinion against this proposal to eliminate complementary and

alternative health care in America. Almost 100,000

people have already filed their objection. According to Dr. Rima Laibow,

medical director of the Natural Therapies Foundation, we need 50

times that

many people to respond by the end of the month.

 

Please stand up and be counted. Go to _http://tinyurl.http://tin_

(http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc) and

file your petition in support of natural health care, in support of

complementary and alternative health care as we know it today. If you

require more information, please visit

_http://www.HealthFrhttp://wwhtt_ (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/)

or read

the FDA proposed policy for yourself.

 

Peace,

John

I guess those of us who practice or even use natural

remedies need to come together in solidarity.
