FDA Threatens Your Freedom
Share this with everyone you know.
You have seven days of freedom left.
Potentially, that is, if the FDA and Big Pharma has their way.
The latest move by the FDA is designed to once and for all destroy the 1994 DSHEA law that has made supplements “legal†while eliminating nutritional supplements and natural medicine from the United States, ensuring monopoly profits and control by drug companies and the FDA.
It is the latest action item by the FDA / Big Pharma conspiracy that will not stop until health freedom has been abolished, drug companies rule the nation, and every citizen is diagnosed with a fictitious disease and drugged up on monopoly-priced pharmaceuticals.
This all comes to a head in seven days — April 30th, 2007.
I bet most of you haven’t even heard about it. That is not by coincidence. It’s even hard to find articles on the web about this. The lawmakers have been very clever slipping this under the cracks.
What Does This Mean To You?
If you ever want to have the freedom to purchase Vitamin C for your immune system’s health, or perhaps Cherry Extract for your joint health…or literally if you take any supplement at all, even vegetable juice, click on the link below. Let these ridiculous lawmakers hear your voice…
Unless you want FDA “experts†to decide what’s a drug or medical device, click that link and let your voice be heard. Remember, these are the same “experts†who re-approved Vioxx, even after the crap killed over 50,000 people in the U.S. alone. This is not hype. This is not histrionics. This is a real as it gets.
Only “doctors†would be able to “prescribe†most supplements deeded C.A.M. (Complimentary and Alternative Medicine). We’re talking multivitamins, herbal supplements, homeopathic modalities…even massage oils. No joke.
Don’t Believe Me? Take A Look…
This was lifted right from the FDA’s published PDF document on Docket No. 2006D-0480. You can read the entire PDF for yourself by clicking here. Below you will find hilights of the FDA’s proposed legislation. This includes the substances that will be legislated by the FDA and Big Pharma under the proposed guidelines. (Special thanks to Mike Adams and NewsTarget.com for providing these excerpts…)
“…a product used in a CAM therapy or practice may be subject to regulation as a biological product, cosmetic, drug, device, or food (including food additives and dietary supplements) under the act or the PHS Act. Second, neither the act nor the PHS Act exempts CAM products from regulation.â€
Translation: Anything used in any system of medicine may now be regulated as a drug or medical device by the FDA. This includes a biofeedback machine, acupuncture needles, a cup of herbal tea, massage oil, a glass of vegetable juice or even a bottle of water.
“…if a person decides to produce and sell raw vegetable juice for use in juice therapy to promote optimal health… [and] if the juice therapy is intended for use as part of a disease treatment regimen instead of for the general wellness, the vegetable juice would also be subject to regulation as a drug under the Act.â€
Translation: Raw vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug and must be FDA approved as a drug if it has any health effect whatsoever. Handing a cup of raw vegetable juice to someone and telling them it’s good for the detoxification of their liver will get you arrested for practicing medicine without a license and promoting an “unapproved drug.â€
…â€biologically based practices†includes, but is not limited to, botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, prebiotics and probiotics: whole diets, and “functional foodsâ€. …a botanical product intended for use in treating a disease would generally be regulated as a drug.†…â€functional foods†may be subject to FDA regulation as foods, dietary supplements, or drugs under the Act.
Translation: All foods, supplements, superfoods and functional foods may be reclassified as drugs by the FDA, then regulated off the market.
“If… the manipulative and body-based practices involve the use of equipment (such as massage devices) or the application of a product (such as a lotion, cream, or oil) to the skin or other parts of the body, those products may be subject to regulation under the Act.â€
Translation: Massage oils and creams will be regulated as “drugs†and acupuncture needles as “medical devices.†Taking this absurdity one step further, massage therapists who use their fingers to touch patients may have their fingers regulated as “medical devices†and be accused of practicing medicine for merely touching patients.
Don’t Just Sit There…Protest!

much easier on them either. Have you ever seen a kid in a public setting that acts up, has no patience, and seems to defy every word their parent says? Many times, people assume the problem is bad parenting. The problem is, with many Autistic children there is no obvious physical characteristics that allows people to see the child has challenges. They look just like a normal kid, but tend to have behavioral challenges that most people are not used to.
suspense. I just couldn’t pull my eyes away from each of Gary’s writings. What Jimi Hendrix was to the Fender Stratocaster, Gary Halbert was to a Bic Pen. He was a legend like no other and I feel extremely grateful that I somehow had the luck to land on his site that day. It forever changed my life.
