I mostly got here by mistake, but read quite a few of the posts and think this is the forum for me. I joined today because, although many of you may not have noticed (or maybe you have) the FDA is up to no good. Big surprise, right. Ha.
Here is what you can do. This is an excerpt from a VERY IMPORTANT Article by Peter Barry Chowka.
A looming deadline
In e-mail and Web alerts, Citizens for Health notes:
"FDA is reviewing portions of DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act. The agency may propose new and overly burdensome regulations that could restrict your access to new dietary ingredients and dietary supplements that were not on the market prior to 1994 when DSHEA was passed.
Recall that 2.5 million concerned consumers contacted Congress between 1992 and 1994 to support DSHEA and assure access to their supplements. In response to the overwhelming consumer support, Congress passed DSHEA and deliberately created new and different regulations for dietary supplements. Congress enacted DSHEA to stop the FDA from treating dietary supplements like food
additives or drugs and to protect consumer's rights to purchase these products.
We need to make our voices heard once again!
The deadline is February 1, 2005. Send YOUR Letter [to the FDA] NOW."
