 If you live in the US - please contact your senators now (via one of the two links below) - this is an important health freedom issue. 

DON’T LET SENATOR DURBIN LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS TO DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

Long-time dietary supplement industry enemy Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois is at it again. This time he has introduced an amendment – The Durbin Amendment – which would impose tremendous administrative burdens on both the dietary supplement and the FDA. This is part of Durbin’s never ending campaign to harass the dietary supplement industry and to ultimately take away your access to dietary supplements altogether.

Don't let him do it!! CLICK HERE TO ACT NOW or call 202-224-3121 and ask the switchboard to direct you to your senator's office and tell him/her to OPPOSE THE DURBIN AMENDMENT. The Senate will vote on this amendment today (Thursday, May 24, 2012) at 2:00 PM.

ACT NOW TO HELP SAVE OUR SUPPLEMENTS!

Best of Health,

Dear friend:

Senator Dick Durbin is once again attempting to get rid of your supplements, and it may happen today, unless you act NOW.

 There is an FDA bill before the Senate that is relatively uncontroversial, but it’s considered a “must-pass” bill. Sen. Durbin is planning to offer a last-minute amendment to that bill, slipping it in under the radar and piggy-backing it on a bill that will go through without debate. This amendment will destroy DSHEA—the law that protects your supplements from unnecessary government intrusion and regulation.

The amendment says, among other things, that supplement companies must register their products with the FDA within 30 days, or they will be considered “misbranded” and companies will be subject to outrageous financial penalties, possibly even jail time. To avoid this, many companies will simply remove their supplements from the shelves until they are able to comply with the new requirement.

That’s right. Thirty days after this law goes into effect, many supplements will disappear. 

There are several other dirty tricks this amendment will do. We need you to contact your senators IMMEDIATELY and tell them to vote NO on the Durbin dietary supplement amendment.

We can’t express how dangerous this amendment is, or how urgent it is that you take action NOW.

CLICK HERE TO TAKE ACTION!
