Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Important: - <rputman <undisclosed-recipients:> Thursday, November 06, 2003 1:37 PM [alternacare] Your Access to Vitamins and Supplements -- endangered I thought the slightly edited letter below was worth passing on. If you'd like to get information about either bill discussed, do a google search (http://google.com/) on " s.1538 " or on " s.722 " . I have reservations about supporting s.1538 because it gives more money to the FDA, and it has been my observation that the FDA does a lot more harm than good. As just one example, the FDA is the organization that approved nutrasweet! Rich Putman in Minnesota ***** There's a proposal in the US Senate that could eliminate your access to the vitamins and supplements you rely on. Some legislators are proposing extreme measures that would allow the FDA to regulate your vitamins and supplements like prescription medications. This means you could lose access to many of the supplements that you take regularly, such as, Multivitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Calcium, and Glucosamine just to name a few. Can you imagine paying prescription drug prices for the products that you rely on? This is what this new legislation could mean to you. You can make a difference! Support S.1538  A bill introduced by Senator Tom Harkin, and Senator Orrin Hatch that will protect your access to Vitamins and Supplements. Oppose S.722  A bill introduced by Senator Richard Durbin, that may significantly undermine the freedom that we as American consumers have regarding our dietary supplements. IMPORTANT: Please E-mail, phone, fax or write your Congressman Today! Let your voice be heard. Please act now before it is too late. Don’t let your access to Vitamins and Supplements become political folly for special interest groups with you paying the bill. Learn more and get involved today. ***** Richard back.
