Fwd: Herbal prescriptions made mandatory?

 

 

PLEASE DO WHAT THIS ASKS AND THEN FORWARD THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS.

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.

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.

 

 

If you don't receive at least one newsletter during any 30-day period,

that

could mean that we have lost all our data. Then, ask us to confirm your

Please send us similar health info you are aware of and include

references,

if possible, so others can do further research. Since our staff

volunteers

its time and we do not charge for our efforts, we are therefore unable

to

pay money to writers.
