FDA's got the I just can't seem to kill alternative medicine blues

[Guest guest]

Forwarded to me....again, you may not be into alternative therapies or

supplements, however, many of your loved ones are. Really! They don't want us

to have the right to pursue healing in the manner that suits us, and fits in

with our individual (key word here) philosophy, religion, etc. Then they have

the audacity to tell us that it's for " our own good " while Big Pharma's drugs

are killing off hundred's of thousands of patients per year. I'm sure it's

purely coincidental that large numbers of Food and Drug Administration officials

own stock in the very companies they're supposed to be policing.

 

Read the following and decide for yourself, and act if you feel moved to.

Also, the more people who know about this potential atrocity, the more power we

have. It only takes a minute to sign the petition (link below) and forward this

on.

 

Be blessed,

Houston, We Have a Problem!

 

 

The US FDA is at it again. They have been notorious for decades for their

biased attacks and uneven handling of natural, non-drug/surgery/ radiation based

health options. This time, though, they are playing for keeps.

 

 

The goal is simple: through a " Guidance " about the regulation of " CAM " (which

they conveniently define as " Complementary and Alternative MEDICINE " the FDA

hopes to serve the interests of Big Pharma by eliminating all CAM practices

and products. ALL of them.

 

Here's how this deadly game is played:

 

 

1. By using the term " Medicine " rather than " Modality " for CAM practices, the

FDA sets the stage so that anyone who is not a licensed physician is breaking

the law by using these modalities since they are therefore 'practicing

medicine without a license'.

 

 

2. By using the term " treatment " rather than " therapy " , the FDA limits those

who can perform these practices to licensed physicians and, again, anyone who

is not a licensed physician is breaking the law by using these modalities

since only licensed practitioners can treat. So people using these modalities

are

therefore 'practicing medicine without a license'.

 

 

3. By using the terms " Medicine " and " treatment " instead of " Modalities " and

" therapy " , all substances, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, co-factors,

etc., automatically become untested drugs since they are being used to prevent,

treat, mitigate or cure disease states. Such use can only legally take place

with FDA approved drugs.

 

 

Here's How We Protect CAM Practices,

Practitioners and Products

 

 

Numbers. Sheer volume of response. Nothing more and nothing less. NOW is the

time to act. Our window of opportunity slams shut on April 30, 2007.

1. Click on the link below and add your name to the letter. When you click

2. Write a brief note (or copy the information in this email) including this

email please:

 

a. Include everyone you know and tell them that their freedom to choose their

own health modalities and options is under serious attack.

 

b. Send the same email to the the companies which make the vitamins, minerals

and herbs you use and ask them to send it out to their entire mailing list.

 

c. Impress upon the people you contact that we are facing a virulent and

highly organized assault on ALL natural products and procedures because they do

not feed the pharmaceutical coffers and that their help is crucial.

 

d. Include a link to the Natural Solutions Foundation website (

www.HealthFreedomUS A.org ). Ask them to become familiar with the site in order

to lend their

support to the health freedom battle which threatens their right to make

their own health choices.

 

NOW!

 

If you have ever thought about taking action to protect your health freedom,

NOW is the time to do it.

 

If you have never thought about taking action, now is the time to think about

In my opinion, this is a full blown assault on your rights and mine to opt

This is so important. Those of us who practice

Alternative healing could be out of work and in jail!

 

The supplements we take for granted could be removed,

made illegal and only available, if at all, via a

prescription from an allopathic doctor.

 

This will affect the quality of our foods too. More

chemicals, hormones etc will be required to be in our

food. We will not be allowed to grow our own as that

will be illegal.

 

Please take the time to go to Dr. Laibow's site and

sign her petition. Only in numbers can we prevent this

travisty from happening.

WHAT??? Now I am getting really concerned.

We're going to have black helicopters checking

for illegal broccoli? Though with insane ideas

about marking every single chicken, all in the

name of safety of course, it just might be possible.

It's very possible. From what we have been reading on

this. Food will be required to have chemical

pesticides and other chemicals used on them. They

can't control this process if we are growing our own.

 

Supplements will have to gotten via a prescription

from an approved list that is limited.

Really! They don't want us to have the right to pursue healing in

the manner that suits us, and fits in with our individual (key word

here) philosophy, religion, etc. Then they have the audacity to

tell us that it's for " our own good " while Big Pharma's drugs are

killing off hundred's of thousands of patients per year. I'm sure

it's purely coincidental that large numbers of Food and Drug

Administration officials own stock in the very companies they're
