What a mess. Looks like the anti-supplement measures got resurrected, nothing's ever dead with this bunch.

Looks like the link got corrupted too.

Much of the research has been done in university labs and peer review publications. More government control. The State does not want you healthy, the State wants you 100% completely under its control.

Down the road, “intercom radios” that can not be turned off, just like North Korea.

At the present time, if the FTC moves against a dietary supplement company for false or misleading advertising, the FTC typically requires the company, as part of a consent decree agreed to by both parties, to back up its claims by undertaking at least two random controlled human trials.

I gotta doubt that the person who wrote this knows what he is talking about. The FTC doesnt have a staff that knows anything about conducting clinical trials. Nor have I ever heard of such trials being required as part of a consent decree.

I just have a feeling something has been lost in the translation here. Waxman is a royal jack@ss but I really doubt he is stupid enough to rattle this hornets nest six months before the midterms.

I really discovered supplements including herbs, vitamins, certain amino acids and other compounds in a serious way about 10 years ago. They have revolutionized my health. Have never taken a prescription drug except an occasional antibiotic for a sinus infection, and I haven’t had one in the past 10 years.

The proper supplements along with a decent diet and exercise have cut at least 10 years off my age.

This can’t bel allowed to pass. Big Pharma surely has a hand in this just as they did the recent health care takeover.
