The moment they do this I love the country, period. These are key to my good health and there is great evil behind this bill and movement.
What bill?????
More details, please. Not about you leaving, but about the bill.
Got a lonk to an article, or the bill number?
Relevant quotes from the bill/article?
What bill?
What is the bill exactly? This doesn’t make any sense to me. Why are they doing this? Aren’t they promoting good health?
You cannot be responsible for your own health in OBAMerica. Only Big Brother can take care of you....
I’m glad you will love the country if they do this, for it is in these moments of error that our country needs our love the most. ;-D
This rumor has been around for a while now. I dont think there is anything to it
Glenn Beck was just talking about it. This is being done by the drug companies, their drugs kill, period. They don’t want you to know that you can heal naturally (and cheaply). Finally, once we get government health care and rationing begins folks will turn to natural suppliments and find out they can be cured, thus, removing these is key to government health care and the Pharmies know it, they do not want you to find out you can live a healthy life without their poisions ...
I don’t think they could pass it even if they tried.
Just how unpopular is congress willing to make itself?
The more likely approach would be an incremental tightening of restrictions through the FDA. It’s the only way they could hope to avoid a severe backlash.
do ya think Reid is short-selling GNC stock?
OH YES THERE IS, THERE IS A BILL BEFORE THE SENATE TODAY.
You love your country for banning something that's key to your good health.
Yeah, that makes good sense.
How can we discuss this without details eh? What bill, and why etc.....that would help for starters.
THEN POST THE TEXT OF THE BILL OR A LINK TO THE BILL, K?
pinging friends whom I thought might be concerned about the possible passage of a bill banning supplements/herbs
America, love it or love it.
;^)
Then get us the bill number....
Thanks for the info
Pure nonsense. There are excellent drugs...and bad ones. There are medical conditions where vitamins and supplements are all you need....and conditions where all the vitamins and supplement in the world won't help: but a well designed drug will cure you.
What info? No REAL information has been given yet.
Currently active Senate bills:

I don’t see it, unless it’s bundled with another bill.

Was talking to my doc yesterday who told me they are trying to ban natural thyroid since it is made from pig thyroid. Swine flu and all that nonsense. Guess if they ban it, I go back to being a zombie because I can’t take that plastic Synthroid stuff.
Great minds, LOL!
They will probably attempt to ban ANYTHING that people can use to help their health outside of the Obamacrap Plan. Waiting for them to ban fortified cereals. *rolling eyes*
Have I mentioned lately how I detest my country being overrun by commie-zombies?
Another one of those “you can’t read it” bills?
I called my 2 wonderful senators (Coburn and Inhofe)alerting them to this. Also called the democrat congress critter Boren of our House delegation telling him not to even think about it.
I wouldn't put it past the dems. Sure, we'll give you your defense money, but you have to ban vitamins to get it.
(There are clue$ a$ to why hidden in this po$t)
No, because it's easy and cheap and doesn't make $$$ for pharmas.
Enough information to know that I needed to contact my congress critters early enough to let them know of my displeasure of this kind of legislation!
See post 10. If Glenn Beck was talking about it happening today, then I knew that I needed to at least register a squawk quickly! While bill numbers are helpful, we dont have to have them in order to let our congress critters know what we think of an issue!
The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs will explore the availability of banned substances — including those developed for BALCO — at health food stores in a hearing this afternoon. "There are certain steroids and other drugs being masqueraded as dietary supplements," said U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart, one of four experts called to testify. "We're seeing the migration from clandestine labs where designer steroids were being produced for the elite-level athlete to these being distributed to the mainstream where high school and junior high school athletes have access to them." The subcommittee is focusing on products that contain steroids or steroid precursors that are marketed as supplements, which make up a fraction of the $24 billion food supplement industry in the USA. The hearing was called by subcommittee chairman Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, a team that went without reliever J.C. Romero for 50 games this season after he tested positive for a banned substance linked to a testosterone-boosting supplement.
Sounds like someone is punking you
I STILL want a bill number. I like to substantiate what I have to say to my representatives and senators.
SHOW ME THE BILL!
Or else don’t post.
Is this Codex Alimentarius related?
The Codex Alimentarius is supposed to go into effect on 12/31/2009.
With this statement your credibility....sinks.
OK. Obtaining the information to use as you mention is ideal. If I had time I would do that myself. Please do some research and please share with the rest of the class!
I was innocently scrolling the headlines. I only have 15 minutes to do so today, and I dont have time to research it. I am simply taking the alert of a fellow freeper (with whose posts I am familiar) at face value and acting.
They got all the authorization they needed when we stupidly began the “War on (Some) Drugs”.
I have NO idea. That is why I need a bill number.
Thank you for thinking of me my FRiend. ((HUGS))
Apologies. I meant to take the FReeper name out. I know the Codex is a big push in the background shadow government. Makes nutrients poisons.
If the side affects don't kill you.
OK....No problem.
However, I don’t think there is any BAN on vitamins proposed.
Even doctors recommend daily multi-vitamins, vitamin C...etc.
