Supplements and our unalienable rights

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group, Adam!

 

I think that if you will read back over other posts here, you will

see that the issue of making supplements inaccessible is a bit

overblown - at least insofar as the FDA quideline issue is concerned.

 

There are other, more insiduous actions being undertaken by the FDA,

and I for one believe that the guidance issue has in part been a

smokescreen to obscure what is happening with S-1082 and Codex.

 

Read back just a few posts to " Understanding the Threat to Dietary

Supplements - Important Article " .

 

We all need to let our voices be heard on any issue which threatens

what should be our unalienable rights to have freedom of access to

supplements and freedom of choice for treatment.

 

BTW, does anyone know what " unalienable " , as written in the

Constitution by our founding fathers really means? Most people

mistake it for " inalienable " .

 

First of all, it should be pronounced un-uh-leen-uh-bul and NOT un-A-

lee-uh-bul as it is commonly mispronounced. It means that a lien

cannot be placed on our God given rights. In other words, our rights

may not be encumbured. THAT was the concept intended by our

forefathers. And ignored by numerous government agencies, foremost

of which is the FDA.
