Supplement Safety Act is a Deadly Trojan Horse
 
By NHF President

Maureen Kennedy Salaman

AUGUST 2003

 

 

A proposed new law now threading its slimy way through Congress could shelve dietary supplements permanently. It is called the "Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2003" (S. 722), introduced by Senator Richard Durbin, D-Ill. If passed, it would take from us the freedoms that we American consumers of dietary supplements hold dear.

This is serious stuff -- you could lose access to all -- let me repeat -- ALL -- nutrients, supplements, herbs, etc. -- if this Trojan Horse legislation is passed. Even one "adverse report" would give the FDA the power to pull any supplement or category of supplements off the market.

If we sit back and do nothing we could forfeit our health freedoms and countless people will die. Write and call your government representatives and demand that this not be allowed to happen. And to add further clout to your efforts, become a member of the National Health Federation (NHF), the oldest and largest health freedom organization in the world.

The NHF is committed to exposing the drastic attacks on our health freedom until victory is won and freedom is assured, fighting daily for your rights to select your own health care, and to take those vitamins, minerals and herbs in the dosage you judge best for your body...without government interference.

Since 1952 the NHF has fought for individuals' rights to consume food free of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, irradiation, and genetic engineering; worked to ensure your access to vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes without government restrictions; opposed all attempts to control the natural health industry; and demanded the right to choose alternative forms of medicine and have alternative medical choices covered by medical insurance. The NHF stands for freedom of choice for the consumer and freedom of practice for the practitioner.

Freedom is all of our responsibility, and the price remains eternal vigilance. Support your freedom by becoming a member of the NHF or making a donation to help us defray the cost of mounting a defense against these deadly attacks. Nothing else will take your dollars further or make such a lasting impact on your life and the future of your loved ones.

To show your opposition to this travesty, please print out the opposition form, sign and list your address, cut it out and mail it to:

The National Health Federation
P.O. Box 688
Monrovia, California 91017

The NHF will forward copies to your Senator, Congresspeople and President Bush.

 

I am against Senate Bill 722, the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2003 (Durbin, D-Ill) and I ask you to oppose this extreme and unnecessary legislation. The government must not be allowed to limit the freedom of choice of American consumers when it comes to their health. Thank you.
