FDA Set to Kill Nutritional Supplement Industry; Pharmaceutical Industry Rejoices

Actually eschewing the concept of simple notification, this front organization for the drug companies is now going to require the sellers and manufacturers of supplements to submit NDI detailed reports on every single ingredient they have added to any of their products since 1994. These reports are supposed to include “proof” of the effectiveness of these ingredients in the form of peer-reviewed articles published in scientific journals and results from clinical test trials. After reviewing this evidence, the FDA will decide whether or not to approve these ingredients for sale to the public. Until that approval comes through, sellers and manufacturers of nutritional and dietary supplements will be required to cease and desist from offering their products for sale to the public.

For those who need even more decisive evidence, however, here it is – synthetic versions of natural ingredients, produced in the laboratories of pharmaceutical companies who want to steal supplement business by turning natural ingredients into drugs, will be completely exempt from these new testing and reporting regulations. So there it is – if the pharmaceutical companies want to sell fake, drug-like versions of the real thing to get in on a profitable game, they will not be required to prove that their synthetic creations are safe. If there were any doubts left about who is really pulling the strings in this latest FDA power play, this should erase them.

The FDA can go $#@! themselves, there is no way they are going to be able to enforce this.

I plan on actively disobeying these new rules and helping others to do so as well.

How? I would love to get ephedra without a doctor's prescription, but how do I do it? These laws are just so utterly ridiculous...

Mike Adams also had a piece or two on this. According to him, this is stemming from S. 510, the "Food Safety" bill that passed last year: http://www.naturalnews.com/032912_FD...pplements.html

I don't know how I am going to do it yet, and I don't know where to get ephedra.. but if this is true, then avenues will be created.

If you need someone to run illegal supplements for you, let me know.

I wonder what the chain stores like GNC are doing to fight this.

This has been in the works for years. WHO is behind it. Codex Alimentarius : http://www.natural-health-informatio...mentarius.html

In the 90s, Mel Gibson was an activist against it, here is his TV ad for it, kind of funny:

Codex Alimentarius is still developing under the radar with support for many of those involved from our representatives. Please read up on it.
