Access to Dietary Supplements Under
Attack! We have a serious problem. Under the pretense of
stopping illegal steroids from being sold, Senator John McCain has filed
legislation that would overturn DSHEA, the law that protects our access
to safe and inexpensive dietary supplements for our health. It gives the
drug-company-friendly FDA the ability to restrict or even ban any dietary
supplement, at their discretion. Similar legislation in Europe has made
sale of vitamin C in doses as little as 500 mg illegal.
Unfortunately, the U.S. major league sports teams support this
legislation because of the recent exposes regarding famous baseball and
football players taking illegal and dangerous steroids. But the FDA
already has authority to ban these substances. There is no reason to give
the FDA this new, broad authority to ban or restrict any supplement.
Here is the link to a web page of the Alliance for Natural Health
providing an excellent explanation of what is happening, and a petition
to other senators to ask them to oppose this new dangerous legislation.
The health of millions of Americans is at stake.

Please sign the petition to your senators and pass this message on to
family, friends, neighbors, and other email lists you might be on. If you
use facebook or twitter, please utilize these forums as well.
Thanks and Kind Regards
