OT - Herbal and vitamin supplements to be classed as medicines by FDA

[Guest guest]

If you aren't interested in this, please delete. I mean no offense,

but I do feel this is really important.

 

The FDA is currently taking public commentary on its new proposal to

classify ALL herbal and vitamin supplements, some vegetable and fruit

juices, aromatherapy, hypnosis, accupuncture, accupressure, massage,

homeopathy, etc. as medicines. This would completely remove all

access to these as over the counter remedies.

 

It would also classify them as unapproved drugs, which would mean we

would no longer have any access to them at all until they are

approved through the same means as traditional medicines. If you are

interested in being able to drink mint or ginger tea for nausea, use

aloe vera for sunburns, echinecea and zinc for colds, honey for a

sore throat, or anything else, please take a couple of moments to go

to this site:
