Warning: Pharmacy trying to take supplements away again
quoted from link below:
" [this legistlation will] eliminate the free choice Americans now have to purchase vitamins, herbs, minerals, homeopathic remedies, aminoacids and nutritional supplements.
"the lack of free choice to stay well by taking effective nutritional substances will promptly be followed by a sharp increase in illnesses that will only be treated in the future with pharmaceutical drugs."

Q? - Why would they - the 'medical industry' - try to take away natural supplements, those things that cannot be patented because they are produced by nature?
ans: "This will produce an enormous increase in the already exorbitant profits earned by the pharmaceutical firms".
As we must understand by now, these non-patentables cannot be sold at a high profit in a free market economy because anyone can sell them at a lower cost and get higher sales that way, so the cost is driven down. The pharmacy corporations don't like this free market stuff, despite being at the helm of power in a supposedly free market -capitalist- nation. Hypocracy at best, conspuracy at worst.
This is not a complicated situation, and everyone can understand what is going on. We must demand that in the area of health care where life and death are very real, these games cannot go on.
If "free-market" philosophy is paramount to American identity, then for gods sake stick to it here in this most profitable industry of all time, and allow competition. If it is not essential to be free-market, then do the right thing and control prices where monopoly situations exist.
And never ever restict the natural substances that are proven to heal sickness - morality is the only arguement needed there!!
