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.

Yeah - because as they take control over each new thing, it has the potential to really be good for us - you have become part of the problem.
That is funny. I am waiting to piss on Tom Harkins (D-IA) grave. Among others things this A hole did, he put together the legislation to confiscate 401k and IRA savings to distribute to those who did not save and give the savers a fixed annual 3%. Dems see the timing for this fast approaching. It will have to be done before the 2022 midterms.
That would be a good goat supplement as they require more Selenium than pants can get from US soils and also need a lot of Copper. Copper seems a little high for humans though.
God granted me an abundance. I could not find it. Thanks for the link.
Not I. I wish not to stand in line for 8 hours or more.

Well you’d have a good load to disperse...

Almost the whole medical system in the US is a scam. Except for exotic cancer treatments, outcomes are as good or better in Europe than here.
I had to go to an ER in Warsaw last week. Brand new, saw a doctor in 15 minutes. The visit, plus blood work and 1.5 liters of IV fluids and IV pain killers was less than $200.
Yes. Us medicine for s a legend in its own mind. An empire out to fleece the sheeple. Inefficient uncaring and over priced.
Agreed but I still want to do my part and have I st a little type satisfaction.
//I couldn’t find a specific bill number that we can oppose.
Yeah. That’s useful information. I can’t stand ‘articles’ like this that don’t even bother giving useful information.
About all I’d like to see happen with the supplement industry is the following:
1) Country of origin notification, both for raw materials and final synthesis
2) Purity testing. If the stuff claims to be ‘fish oil’, it should be freaking fish oil. Something like ‘consumer reports’ for supplements, where they’d go to a local store, buy one example of everything, and test it to see what it contained.
Without that critical information, I don’t trust the articles. This one has a lot of histrionics and it may all be false.
Where exactly would they draw the line?
Or does this mean we will need a doc prescription for all of our food and stuff?
