If you take any supplements at all--multivitamins, herbs, etc., then please make your voices heard. The FDA wants to turn more power over to the Big Pharma industry, as if they needed more money! They want a BIG bite of the health food industry. If CODEX passes, then you will need a doctor's prescription to buy these things. A prescription for homeopathic remedies, juices, and even massage oils.

Don't give up your freedoms! Please click on the link for more information:

I know its off-topic, but I felt this message was extremely important.

It's not like the FDA has nothing better to do, like keep our food sources safe...

Varisha,

To sum it in one sentence: the FDA is trying to kill natural medicine and supplements.
Codex will make sure that any supplements allowed to be sold over the counter will have a lower potency. You can bet that any supplement sold as a "prescription" will have a ridiculously high price just as patent drug does.

Please look at www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php
Scoll down to the lower left and click on the 5 Minute Codex Tour and it gives a 7-point summary of Codex Alimentarius.

I believe that we have the right to use whatever products we feel protect our health.

I signed it.
Seems to me the FDA is spread way too thin these days. We found out three days ago that a company that supplied a pediatric cardiac shunt used in my son's 1st open heart surgery was shut down after 2 (2!!??!!!) warning letters. My son has a serious heart defect. He had to have his second stage of surgery on an emergency basis and had a massive infection surrounding the shunt, then had a stroke as a by-product of that infection.
The infection was caused by the shunt. Had the FDA done their job properly and shut down this company initially, instead of sending a warning letter, my son may not have had his complications.
So, anyway, yeah, I signed, LOL. FDA needs to stick to serious drugs, not our vitamins.
Sheesh.

What a horrible thing for you and your son, Jessica. How is he now?

At one time, the FDA was a good thing...not anymore. Its a scary thing to see drug stores popping up everywhere and drugs advertised on television and in magazines. After Celebrex ads being off the air for a few years, Pfizer is all set to re-launch television ads.

I have a friend that was perfectly healthy before taking Pempro. She had a stroke and breast cancer, all due to Pempro according to her doctor. Although the HRT studies were stopped because the dangers to women were too great, why is there a contraceptive pill (Lybrel) that prevents menstruation? That's way too much messing with hormones, in my opinion.

Sorry for my rant. Stephanie
 
I signed it - I wouldn't be functional w/out my supplements and I couldn't afford them if they go to prescription - hmmm maybe that's the idea - kill off some of us and make more room for the ones with money?
