URGENT
Protect Your Dietary Supplements - Action Alert
July 2005
As you read this, Congress is considering new legislation
that would take away your access to safe,
effective and affordable dietary supplements.
You can make a difference by urging your
Representative to oppose
The Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act (H.R. 3156)
and any bill that would limit your choice and access to dietary supplements.
BACKGROUND:
The Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act (H.R. 3156),
introduced by Representatives Davis (D-CA), Waxman (D-CA), and Dingell (D-MI), this month,
would place trusted vitamins, minerals, and herbs under unprecedented and unwarranted scrutiny.
If H.R. 3156 becomes law, 70 percent of dietary supplements currently on the
market would become subject to burdensome new regulations
some equivalent to those required for prescription drugs
driving up supplement prices for everyone and forcing well known
dietary supplements to disappear from store and practitioners shelves.
TAKE ACTION NOW:
Write Your Representative
Let your lawmaker know that good laws exist on the books,
and the FDA needs to enforce them.
Please share your personal supplement story, so that your lawmaker understands
why its important to protect your access to dietary supplements.

dietary supplements protected simply follow the instruction listed below.

Their input to congress is crucial if we hope to defeat this bill.
Many of us take dietary supplements, as we understand the toxicity of the food supply and the nutrional deficiency it brings.
Along with chronic illnesses, we know these nutrients are essential to make our bodies function - something that the general food supply cannot do.
I urge you to investigate for yourself, and take action. Our health, and the health of our children and grandchildren depend on it.
Running this untrue crap again?
I heard CAFTA put vitamins and supplements under the WHO?
So glad no one else out there is making a move on this - SO FAR. JK
