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.
