[sSRI-Research] Health Freedoms Are Under Assault

 

URGENT ACTION ALERT: Your Health Freedoms Are Under Assault

 

Opponents of natural health are hard at work right now trying to take

away your right to choose vitamins, herbs and nutritional supplements.

The " old guard " defenders of conventional medicine have finally

realized that nutritional supplements are a threat to their system of

profit and control: drugs, chemicals, surgery, chemotherapy and so on.

And now they've decided the best way to protect their monopoly medical

system is to destroy the nutritional supplements industry.

 

YOUR VOICE IS URGENTLY NEEDED

 

A legislative battle is brewing right now, and if we lose this battle

(if we let the doctors and drug companies win), the nutritional

supplements industry could be wiped out virtually overnight. You'd no

longer have access to vitamins, herbs, and supplements. You'd have to

take prescription drugs for everything -- and that's just the way the

FDA and drug company executives like it!

 

At stake is the status of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education

Act (DSHEA). This law, passed in 1994, allows nutritional supplements

to be sold without the meddling of the FDA, an agency that has proven

itself to be an outright opponent of natural health. While over 100,

000 Americans are dying each year due to prescription drug side

effects, the FDA chooses to attack only natural medicine like ephedra

(ma huang, a traditional Chinese medicine herb that's been used for

thousands of years). While 16,500 Americans are killed each year by

taking over-the-counter painkillers (NSAIDs), the FDA spends its time

raiding and bankrupting companies like Lane Labs, which had developed

a powerful immune boosting product (MGN-3) that actually treated cancer.

 

Now the FDA and the defenders of old-school medicine want to wipe out

nutritional supplements altogether. And they're claiming to be

" protecting the public " yet again. They're arguing that all

nutritional supplements should be subjected to the same rigorous

scientific review as prescription drugs.

 

Who are they kidding? Are these the same " rigorous " studies that are

routinely distorted to exaggerate the health benefits of drugs while

concealing any health risks? Clinical trials for prescription drugs

have nothing in common with good science. They are little more than

bureaucratic sleight of hand, designed to win a stamp of approval for

drugs that are extremely dangerous and, in fact, are actually killing

Americans at an alarming rate.

 

This attempt to " regulate " nutritional supplements is just doublespeak

for outlawing them. If the FDA has its way, all nutritional

supplements will be regulated out of existence. And then, they'll

explain, " You will be safe. "

 

Enough is enough.

 

YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU

 

It's time to write Congress and let them know two very important things:

 

1) Protect DSHEA. The current law works.

2) Preserve our health freedoms.

 

And to make it convenient for you to be heard, you can write Congress

online, through the National Nutritional Foods Association website:

Just enter your zip code and decide what message to send. It takes

only a few minutes.

 

With your help, we can send a strong message to Congress and let our

lawmakers know that we, as free citizens of this country, are not

going to let a group of profit-minded drug industry bureaucrats take

away our right to chose vitamins, herbs and nutritional supplements.

 

If you think about it, what they really want to do is OUTLAW DISEASE

PREVENTION. That way, preventing diseases will actually be illegal,

and that would generate a windfall of profits for drug companies as

more and more people become ill and are diagnosed with chronic disease.

 

It's a bold plan by the defenders of conventional medicine. And

they're hoping you won't notice their real motive. But for them, it's

always been about profits and control. The American Medical

Association, for example, has a long and dark history of trying to

outlaw chiropractic care. The AMA has actually been convicted -- twice

-- in U.S. federal courts of conspiracy to destroy the chiropractic

industry. (You won't find that on the AMA website, trust me.)

 

The FDA, for its part, has been the puppet of Big Pharma for so long

that even the FDA's own scientists have had enough. That's why people

like Dr. David Graham finally had to blow the whistle and warn the

American people about how these dangerous COX-2 inhibitors are killing

people. And just last week, we learned that many of these drugs were

inappropriate approved in the first place. Now they're all under

" review " at the FDA, which has hilariously decided it's going to

investigate itself to see if it did anything wrong.

 

But the winds are shifting. People are firing their doctors and

signing up with naturopathic physicians. People are openly questioning

the safety of prescription drugs, and they finally see the FDA is a

sham. People are taking vitamins, supplements and herbs. They're

visiting chiropractors, acupuncturists, energy healers, herbalists and

other practitioners of the healing arts -- IN RECORD NUMBERS.

 

Conventional medicine is losing. Their power is slipping away. The

Darth Vader empire of drugs and surgery is crumbling with each passing

day. And out of desperation, the leaders of that empire are trying to

crush the natural health movement by destroying the supplement

industry in a last desperate counterattack.

 

As an American, I will not stand for this oppression. I will not sit

by and idly watch the architects of a destructive system of organized

medicine take away my right to choose herbs and supplements. I will

not let this system imprison us by stripping away our health freedoms.

 

JOIN THIS EFFORT TO PRESERVE YOUR HEALTH FREEDOMS

 

It is time for action. Join me in spreading the word to preserve your

health freedoms. Do not allow the FDA, Big Pharma and organized

medicine to destroy your right to be healthy. Do NOT allow them to

outlaw disease prevention and make you a slave of chemical-based medicine.

 

ACTION ITEMS:

 

1. Write your representatives in Washington using this link:

2. Send this email as many people as you know. Alert them this effort

by organized medicine to destroy their health freedoms.

 

3. STAY INFORMED by subscribing to the NewsTarget Insider email

newsletter:

Together, we can prevail in this legislative battle, and we can

preserve our health freedoms for generations to come. But it is up to

us, right now, to fight for these freedoms. If we fail to do so, they

will be stripped away from us within one year.

 

The time to act is now.
