FULL PHARMCO FRONTAL ASSAULT ...

The Pharmaceutical Industry Pulls Out All Stop in An Attempt to Control the Competitive Threat

THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FRONT...Dietary Supplements: A Framework for Evaluating Safety...

"In this report, NAS has created so called "safety monographs" to encourage the FDA to yank Melatonin, Saw Palmetto Extract, DHEA, Shark Cartilage, Chromium Picolinate, and Chapparel off the market and to serve as "models" for yanking still MORE products off the shelves. "Its important to realize that the National Academy of Sciences is totally dominated by pharmaceutical interests, and they're not part of the government so they're not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. FDA often hires them to generate self serving "reports" for this very reason- they're like cockroaches scurrying around under cover of DARKNESS. Since NAS is not subject to FOIA, we can't get the raw data they use to generate any of their biased so called "reports." In their intro, NAS says "In line with these findings, members of the scientific and medical community have strongly advised that the regulatory mechanisms for monitoring the safety of dietary supplements as currently defined by DSHEA by revised. The contraints imposed upon the FDA with regard to insuring the absence of unreasonable risk associated with the use of dietary supplements make it difficult for the health of the American people to be adequately protected." Now that FDA has illegally yanked ephedra off the market, unless they're successfully challenged in court via one or both of the pending lawsuits against them over this ban, The FDA will start pulling a LOT of additional products off the shelves using the NAS "model" as their "basis". We can expect them to make all kinds of misextrapolations from animal data, and engage in every sort of biased "reasoning" including banning dietary supplements because they "interract dangerously" with GENUINELY DANGEROUS Rx drugs." - John Hammell, IAHF
