Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is once again attempting to eliminate your freedom to access dietary supplements, this time by slipping his own hidden bill into the upcoming appropriations bill, which is expected to be voted on at some point next week.
In an emergency announcement, Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show warned his listeners that the Codex Alimentarius scheme – it never went away, by the way – is being quietly slipped in while the government and mainstream media try to scare Americans about the latest Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “variants.”
“Durbin wants to take away your right” to purchase dietary supplements, Hodges warns.
“Durbin’s bill that will be hidden within another bill, which should be totally illegal, is going to take supplements and not keep you from getting them,” but require that you get them through a doctor with a prescription, which will make them cost at least five times more – and the profits go to Big Pharma.
“This is the German model, and it’s in Durbin’s bill,” Hodges says. “I’m so sick of government thinking they can control every action. This is Marxism.”
Tell your Congress critter to vote NO on Durbin’s supplement prohibition bill.
For a country that boasts being the “land of the free,” we sure do have to contend with more than our fair share of nanny state prohibitions on using nature. For decades, that prohibition centered mostly around healing herbs like cannabis sativa and psilocybin mushrooms. Now, Congress wants to make all of nature available only through prescription from a Western medicine doctor.
“We go to war to control our population. We go to war on freedom. We go to war on liberty. We go to war on individual choice. We go to war on people being successful. We tax them into oblivion,” Hodges laments. “That’s Dick Durbin. And Dick Durbin now wants to take away your options.”
“You’re in real danger of losing your access to supplements at the current price and availability that you have, and I thought you had a right to know.”
The Alliance for Natural Health – USA (ANH-USA) put up its own action alert complete with a submission portal for sending your comments of opposition to Congress.
If it slips through, Durbin’s bill will give enormous power to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to eliminate access to dietary supplements, which the agency has been trying to do for years.
“Senator Durbin’s goal is to create a mandatory product listing with the FDA, which seems innocuous but is far from it,” warns ANH-USA.
“The problem is that FDA is separately completing a process to eliminate every supplement from the market that doesn’t meet ‘new supplement’ notification requirements, which are akin to new drug requirements, and the FDA needs Sen. Durbin’s list to locate and pull and estimated 41,700 supplements from the market.”
In other words, Durbin’s bill is a bait-and-switch that at a glance might seem useful, but upon closer look is a Trojan Horse that serves the interests of Big Pharma.
“Drugs can afford these types of requirements because they are patentable in a way natural food supplements are not, which means that supplements do not have the ability to recoup the costs of complying with additional regulations,” ANH-USA further explains.
“This will either force companies to go out of business or it will make supplements so expensive that they are priced out of the market.”
Be sure to sign the petition calling for Durbin’s bill to be shot down and removed from the upcoming appropriations bill.

There are at least two politicians whose graves I would like the opportunity to piss on: Durbin and that shill Smuck Shumer. They are both thieves and worms. Reprehensible cretins.
The list is much longer but not so bad I would make the effort to desecrate their graves but only take pleasure that they are rotting with the worms.
I must have found the exact same wording of this article on 10 sites. I couldn’t find a specific bill number that we can oppose. Need more information.
That would destroy a major industry in Utah.
Sens. Myth and Lee, where are you?
Not so fast. There are so many quack meds, false claims, and bogus stuff out there that something needs to be done. Have them tested, validated, and then available. How is the “German Model” working? Will it or a variation work in the US?
Linkee no workee. I get the 404.
I wonder how much of a kickback Durbin is receiving from Big Pharma for trying to get this passed.
Next will be the food pyramid.
You will need a prescription for Carrots, Spinach, Bananas, you know all those veggies with the good vitamins in them.
Next will be the Sun, Vit D.
And when the hangover from that drunken rage subsides, Oxygen.
It was that way (possibly worse) at the Founding, but the Founders didn't see fit to enumerate a Congressional power to do something.
The most liberty-embracing way to combat misinformation, is vigilance and information. There is no shortage of websites with data etc for the curious amongst us to do their homework.
Is fundamental research a pain? You bet. So is tyranny. I can address the former with a Duck Duck Go search. The latter? Well, that's complicated...
Do you really think big pharma would ever allow a legitimate study to be done on cheap OTC vitamins?
Something IS being done, it's called the free market and buyer beware. I trust my own judgement on supplements over Dicky Durbin's or the AMA which now wants to eliminate genders on birth certificates.
“the upcoming appropriations bill,”
If you have the common sense that God gave gravel, you should be able to track it down from that alone.

Baaaa! Baaaa!
Don’t fret if you never get out to “bless” these infernal ones appropriately; there is an eternal, flaming HELL ready, and waiting for their vile souls.
Knowing there’s a place for the damned is how I am able to sleep most nights.
The FDA ordered fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine Fen-PHen off the market in September 1997 after those drugs were linked to heart valve problems.
Think about it. The FDV already has authority to ban harmful quack compounds. This would keep anyone from purchasing any compound or vitamin that many are using to fortify themselves against COVID-19.
They said it would be slipped into other legislation so that it could be passed before anyone of us would know it.
Shakespeare's Mark Antony said, "The evil that men do lives after them..." He could have been writing of the Dick Durbin.
Sounds like an opportune time to educate ourselves about the various plants that surround us to “roll our own” so to speak.
Can you say Homeopathy?
You will need a prescription for Carrots, Spinach, Bananas, you know all those veggies with the good vitamins in them.

I am one of those picky eaters you may have heard about. Some people may call us meat and potatoes men. I would actually vomit if I had to even taste mast vegetables. I will eat potatoes, carrots, some lettuce, tomatoes, sweet potatoes ( not fond of them), some beans (despise butter beans and lima beans), and I will not eat many nuts and fruits (despise pears). At least forty years ago I realized my personal nutrition could suffer from my poor eating habits so I have used dietary supplements to offset them. Every day in my supplements pill keeper I have 22 pills taken morning and night, although some are supplements my doctor told me to take such as a multivitamin, Fish Oil and D3. I have a separate keeper for my prescription pills.
This legislation would devastate me.
