Actually supplement availability and affordability is currently under assault on two fronts.

Attempts to restrict access to supplements has been going on for years. Some of you might recall Mel Gibson's infamous 1994 commercial warning about this.

Ron Paul has been working to stop the FDA from restricting access to supplements. Here is a transcript of one speech he gave on the subject

Please consider notifying your Senators and Representative and ask them to oppose the measures outlined in the initial link above.

thx Mel!

Fortunately folks at RPForums have a far greater than average capacity of separating the message from the messenger, which makes it worth while to post here.

Below is another article on the proposed FDA ban on supplements. Please consider contacting Congress via this site

http://www.anh-usa.org/vitaminwar/

to request that they stop this assault on our access to supplements.


On the Friday before the Fourth of July weekend, the FDA published a 47-page document, that would ban all nutritional and supplemental ingredients by requiring them to file documentation involving multi-million-dollar testing and the regulations would be retroactive to 1994!

This will destroy the manufacturers of these products because most are small companies that could not afford such costs. It’s not like there is a vast body of information that demonstrates any threat to health from vitamins and minerals. Quite the contrary. There is ample information on their benefits. There are libraries filled with books devoted to this.

Who would benefit from such regulation of the natural supplement industry? Big Pharma. The same pharmaceutical companies that have a long record of putting forth FDA-approved medications that later prove to be lethal are looking to use the regulatory powers of FDA to literally increase levels of illness.

In the same way Obamacare has been demonstrated to not only be unconstitutional, but also a threat to the health of millions—especially senior citizens—this callous administration now threatens to remove from the shelves of stores that sell nutritional supplements, from pharmacies, and from supermarkets and other outlets, the vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements on which millions depend for wellness.

This constitutes a criminal conspiracy and Congress, which has ceded its law-making authority to the FDA, must hear from everyone in order to stop this assault on everyone’s health.

Oh come on people - we have to get rid of some of this excess population! Cancer, mal-nutrician, man made plagues, etc - that's the way to do it. People simply won't go along with the traditional camps, gas and ovens approach any more...

In the tea-party debate, Ron Paul got thunderous applause for wanting to legalize/decriminalize "alternative medicine". This is a very popular position and I hope the communities that seek to improve their health pick up on Ron Paul.

About 70-90 percent of people are vitamin D deficient.

Ron Paul has been a huge advocate for health freedom for years and he's garnered immense support within the alternative health care community as a result. This is how I heard about him originally.
