Mandatory herbal scripts? Your attention is needed PLEASE..... - Gclarkod@a... To: Wed, Dec 27, 2000 Fwd: Herbal prescriptions made mandatory? PLEASE DO WHAT THIS ASKS AND THEN FORWARD THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS. GMC PS; MEDICAL DOCTORS ARE NOT EVEN QUALIFIED TO WRITE THESE TYPE PRESCRIPTIONS BECAUSE THEY NEVER GET ANY COURSES IN MEDICAL SCHOOLS THAT TEACH THEM ANYTHING ABOUT THESE HERBS. GUESS WE WILL NOW HAVE HERBAL SALESMEN ON THE ROAD OR THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WILL SIMPLY REFUSE TO WRITE THESE PRESCRIPTIONS DUE TO THE LACK OF TRAINING AND THEREFORE THEIR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE HERBS WORK. THEREFORE, THEY WILL SAY TO THEMSELVES, " I DO NOT WANT THIS TYPE OF LIABILITY ON ME " SO THEY WILL SQUASH THE ENTIRE HERBAL INDUSTRY. SOON YOU MAY BE GOING TO JAIL FOR POSSESSION OF FLAXSEEDS OR GINGER OR GREEN TEA. STOP THIS WHILE WE CAN FOLKS. GMC PS: I AM A DOCTOR MYSELF. ********************************** - <LeaWalters@a...> <undisclosed-recipients:;> Tuesday, December 26, 2000 2:10 AM Herbal prescriptions made mandatory? AN OMINOUS SCHEME IS AFOOT Will all those who feel powerless to change things please signify by maintaining their usual silence. A bill is being drawn up which will be appended to a complicated HMO bill which will not be controversial. Both sides of the aisle want to reign in some of the abuses of the HMOs. So far, so good. If this bill slips through, the F.D.A. will be empowered to regulate natural (herbal) products. Yep, you will need a prescription to get your echinacea, etc. It would devastate the health food industry while lining the pockets of physicians. We have the email addresses of all of the Senators and Congressmen. We wrote some unique software which can send an email to each legislator. The email appears to have come from you. It is tempting to just do it but, without your permission, that would be deceptive and downright unethical. With our large r base we can probably stop this outrage in its tracks. Imagine a legislator receiving 30+ thousand emails demanding that this nefarious appendage be removed from what is otherwise a good bill. WILL YOU SPEND 30 SECONDS TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD? If you share our conviction that herbs remain unregulated then all you must do is : 1. Send and E-Mail to Jon5454 2. Type " Herbs - A prescription item? in the Subject Box 3. Type OK in the text box (The OK will give Jon your permission for him to send an e-mail to all senators and congressmen asking them to remove the clause in the new bill that will require us to have a prescription to buy herbs.) If you will take a few minutes and forward this to your friends, or post on a news/discussion group we will gain thousands of new voices. If you choose not to respond, then perhaps you have no problem with paying your physician $50 or more for a prescription for your favorite herbal remedy. Thank You. ************************************************* The above information has been forwarded to you by SunToads Health News (formerly named Health Matters). We write very little of the materials you receive. PLEASE NOTE: Some rs receive only a portion of their email. This is because these rs have chosen email providers/servers that have restrictions, often unknown to you, on email such as size limits, storage time limits, numerical limits, etc. Please check to see if you have restrictions applied to you. Each time we send out an issue we are overwhelmed with non-delivery notices. At some point, we delete these rs who generate repeat non-delivery notices. If you think you have been deleted, just again, hopefully using a better email provider.
