FDA Announces Plan to Eliminate Vitamin Companies

 

 

 

FDA Announces Plan to Eliminate Vitamin Companies by Byron Richards, CCN, June

27, 2007

 

 

 

The FDA, emboldened by its transformation into a drug company, has embarked upon

an anti-American plan of interfering with business and intentionally eliminating

various dietary supplement companies from the market. The FDA announcement came

on Friday, June 22, 2007 under the guise of a final rule for dietary supplement

good manufacturing practices (CGMPs). Within this 800 page rule the FDA states,

" We find that this final rule will have a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.... Establishments with above average

costs, and even establishments with average costs, could be hard pressed to

continue to operate. Some of these may decide it is too costly and either change

product lines or go out of business.... 140 very small [less than 20 employees]

and 32 small dietary supplement manufacturers [less than 500 employees] will be

at risk of going out of business.... costs per establishment are proportionally

higher for very small than for large establishments....The regulatory costs of

this final rule will also discourage new small businesses from entering the

industry. "

 

This FDA rule will directly raise the price of dietary supplements for all

consumers. The FDA acknowledges this and says " We expect that the majority of

these costs will be borne by consumers of dietary supplements, who will likely

respond to the increase in prices by reducing consumption. " Thus, the FDA is

intentionally seeking to shrink the size of the dietary supplement industry and

reduce the influence of safe and effective options to improve the dreadful trend

in the health of Americans. The goal is to leave toxic drugs as the primary

health option.

 

Independent analysis of this FDA rule has placed cost of compliance at 10 fold

what the FDA estimates with as many as 50% of small companies unable to comply.

 

The gutless cowards of Congress, a majority of whom are on the Big Pharma

payroll or will be on it once they leave Congress, have delegated their

lawmaking powers granted by the U.S. Constitution to a bunch of Big

Pharma-friendly unelected bureaucrats at the FDA, who are in turn using this

power to undermine free commerce and help Big Pharma eliminate competition from

the market. This is the behavior of a government in tyranny, inviting a

revolution by the people. It is noteworthy that fascist governments of the past

have eliminated health freedom and health options as a necessary condition to

enslave and brainwash a population. Congress has delegated its responsibility to

the people to such an extent that over half the laws in this country are now

concocted by unelected bureaucrats with vested interests.

 

A Vehicle for Unprecedented Harassment

 

Any company that can afford to comply with the costs and regulations of this new

FDA rule can be targeted and eliminated at will by the FDA. In essence, the FDA

is seeking to make the dietary supplement industry document every phase of

production, including expensive testing at multiple points in the production

process. Massive recordkeeping will be required, including all customer

complaints and returns for any reason! This is utterly draconian and unnecessary

interference and burden to free commerce. It is completely Anti-American. No

doubt, the FDA will impose user fees as an additional charge so that FDA agents

will have the funding required to enforce the regulations. Under the new rule

any flaw in bookkeeping can result in a company's products being declared

adulterated, allowing the FDA to remove them from the market even though nothing

is wrong with them! A company can then be forced out of business because they

won't be able to sell any products to raise the money to comply. The rules are

so complex and vague that the FDA can selectively target any company it chooses,

even those attempting to comply in good faith.

 

The FDA is doing this under the pretense of improved consumer safety. Consumer

safety could readily be guaranteed by simply having all companies test their

final products for purity and potency. Instead of this simple approach the FDA

has gone to the extreme of burdening the dietary supplement industry with

regulations in excess of the drug industry! Supplements are foods, not drugs.

The food industry couldn't begin to comply with these FDA rules, even though

food contamination is far more dangerous to health than dietary supplements.

 

The FDA intends to phase this rule in over the next three years. This means that

within five years half the industry and many of the health options individuals

rely on will either be gone or significantly more expensive.

 

Even more chilling is that forces within the dietary supplement industry itself

are in no small part responsible for this FDA final rule.

 

Trade Groups and their Big Companies Turn on America

 

The Natural Products Association (formerly the National Nutritional Food

Association - NNFA) and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) have been

instrumental in forcing these drug-like rules on dietary supplements. These

globalist organizations are selling out America, destroying American jobs,

undermining the U.S. Constitution, and working in conjunction with

pharmaceutical companies to usher in Codex and the New World Order. Consumers of

dietary supplements should learn who these companies are before buying their

products and helping to inadvertently fund the destruction of health freedom in

this country.

 

When DSHEA was passed in 1994 part of that law required the FDA to establish

current good manufacturing practices (CGMPs) for the dietary supplement

industry. During a period of FDA outreach to the industry the FDA was surprised

to learn that CRN and NPA were in favor of drug-like CGMPs for the dietary

supplement industry. These trade groups, working closely with Senators Orin

Hatch (R-UT) and Tom Harkin (D-IA), have intentionally taken the supplement

industry down a slippery slope. It is noteworthy that Hatch takes in more money

from Big Pharma than he does from dietary supplement companies. Not only is

Hatch a big supporter of the Medicare Part D drug rip off of Americans he has

saved Big Pharma billions by protecting them from generic competition, as he is

currently attempting to do with his legislation for new biologic drugs. Hatch

also has a son working for NPA and another son that lobbies for NPA and the

dietary supplement industry. When Hatch leaves the Senate he will be first in

line for a six or seven figure Big Pharma salary.

 

The CRN has been taken over by multinational drug and food companies. Key

players are the nutritional divisions of Bayer, BASF, Cargill, Monsanto, Wyeth,

and Archer Daniels Midland. Nutrition companies that participate are in most

cases owned by pharmaceutical companies, heavily invested in pharmaceutical

companies, or jockeying for position in the international market as part of the

New World Order. Key names include Mannatech, Shacklee, Herbalife, GNLD

International, The Vitamin Shoppe, and GNC. These companies are glad to

eliminate competition from small companies and start up ventures.

 

Carrying on the general theme of Big Pharma ownership and a globalist agenda are

the companies that control the NPA. One need only look at the new NPA China

board to understand who these key players are. Jarrow Formulas, Now Foods, GNC,

and Herbalife top the list. At the end of 2006 Jarrow and Now helped lead the

charge with Senators Hatch and Harkin to burden the dietary supplement industry

with bizarre Adverse Event Reporting legislation (AER) which insisted that

dietary supplement companies keep extensive records on any type of consumer

complaint. Aspects of this AER law are now implemented in the FDA final rule on

CGMPs. Of course, NPA was quick to offer expensive training to its members to

indoctrinate them into how to comply with the rules that NPA, working on behalf

of the FDA, just forced on its own members. Are their member companies really

this stupid? Or are they all working together? I would recommend that any NPA

member that believes itself to be a true American company that values our

constitution immediately withdraw from NPA membership - consumers will be

looking to see who you are.

 

The picture is now crystal clear for any person who cares to look. Numerous

dietary supplement companies are anti-American and actively selling out our

country and our constitution, working hand-in-glove with the FDA and Big Pharma.

The majority of such companies can be found as members of CRN and NPA. It will

be up to the American consumer to save the dietary industry from itself and

preserve their own access to safe and effective natural health remedies. This is

a relatively simple task. Quit buying products from or quit being a distributor

in these fascist organizations. Support the small companies that are the

backbone of America, otherwise they will soon be extinct.

 

Update on S.1082 Threat to Dietary Supplements

 

Many of you have been following the extreme threat to dietary supplements posed

by S.1082. Similar legislation has now cleared the House Energy and Commerce

Committee and is headed for the floor of the House in the next week or two. The

House version of this bill now contains the " food and food ingredients " language

that the FDA can use to apply drug-related risk/benefit analysis to dietary

supplements and have them removed from the market at their whim.

 

It is noteworthy that both CRN and NPA have posted on their websites information

stating that S.1082 is not a threat to dietary supplements. Both organizations

are flat out wrong. They cite a colloquy by Hatch, Harkin, Kennedy, and Enzi as

their evidence. This colloquy was a direct result of our grassroots campaign to

alert the American consumer to this major threat. In no way does this colloquy

protect dietary supplements. UNTIL THE LANGUAGE IN THE BILL IS CHANGED THE

THREAT EXISTS AND IS VERY REAL.

 

CRN and NPA also tell their members that the Codex initiative to scare consumers

into thinking that dietary supplements are unsafe above miniscule amounts and

need to be regulated by international laws is also no big deal. It is clear that

CRN and NPA, again working hand-in-glove with the FDA, are a major part of the

problem and are actively engaged in forwarding the globalist agenda of the New

World Order. While pretending to represent the dietary supplement industry these

organizations are in fact shooting the industry in the back and undermining

health options for Americans.

 

The FDA is Out of Control

 

The FDA is a tyrannical organization that is now emboldened and completely out

of control. It is not surprising that the FDA is seeking to eliminate

competition to Big Pharma, they have been doing that for much of the past

century. What is surprising is that they are openly stating in their final rule

a plan that directly eliminates small businesses from existence. This fascist

organization believes itself to be above the rule of law and is actively working

against America and the rights of Americans. It must be stopped.
