Senate Bill 722 is up for votes. It will restrict your freedom to use

vitamins and minerals, almost certainly cripple the supplement

industry,

and clearly endanger your health and that of your loved ones.

 

The bill was created in reaction to fears about ephedra and is backed

by Richard Durbin (D-Il) and co-sponsored by Hillary Clinton (D-NY),

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Schumer (D-NY).

 

On his website, Dr. Julian Whitaker writes, " Some of you might

remember

the pre-DSHEA days when the FDA was completely out of control.

 

They raided the offices of nutritional physicians like Jonathan

Wright,

MD, of Kent, Washington. They barged into manufacturing facilities

and

seized natural substances such as stevia and GLA. They authorized the

removal of coenzyme Q-10 and other supplements from health food

stores,

claiming they were illegal.

 

They refused to allow any information on nutritional supplement

labels

that would help consumers make informed choices. They mandated that

many supplements now sold over the counter require a prescription,

making them more expensive and less accessible.

 

This is the kind of tyranny we experienced then and if you think this

kind of stuff couldn't happen again, you're wrong. "
