FDA Forbids Alternative Medicine – ACT NOW, URGENT!

By Dr. Kim • Apr 12th, 2007 • Category: Announcements

FROM the National Association of Nutrition Professionals News:

The US FDA is at it again. They have been notorious for decades for their biased attacks and uneven handling of natural, non-drug/surgery/radiation based health options. This time, though, they are playing for keeps.

The goal is simple: through a “Guidance” about the regulation of “CAM” (which they conveniently define as “Complementary and Alternative MEDICINE” the FDA hopes to serve the interests of Big Pharma by eliminating all CAM practices and products. ALL of them.

Here’s how this deadly game is played:

1. By using the term “Medicine” rather than “Modality” for CAM practices, the FDA sets the stage so that anyone who is not a licensed physician is breaking the law by using these modalities since they are therefore ‘practicing medicine without a license’.

2. By using the term “treatment” rather than “therapy”, the FDA limits those who can perform these practices to licensed physicians and, again, anyone who is not a licensed physician is breaking the law by using these modalities since only licensed practitioners can treat. So people using these modalities are therefore ‘practicing medicine without a license’.

3. By using the terms “Medicine” and “treatment” instead of “Modalities” and “therapy”, all substances, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, co-factors, etc., automatically become untested drugs since they are being used to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure disease states. Such use can only legally take place with FDA approved drugs.

Here’s How We Protect CAM Practices, Practitioners and Products

That is the link which allows you to send a comment directly to the FDA about their deadly “Guidance”. Will it matter? Yes, if millions of people respond. So I am asking you to take this “viral”.Here is what you need to do
NOW if you value your freedom:

1. Click on the link below and add your name to the letter. When you click “Send” it will be electronically delivered to the FDA docket site and posted.

2. Write a brief note (or copy the information in this email) including this link , http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc , and mail it to every one you can. In your email please:

a. Include everyone you know and tell them that their freedom to choose their own health modalities and options is under serious attack.

b. Send the same email to the the companies which make the vitamins, minerals and herbs you use and ask them to send it out to their entire mailing list.

c. Impress upon the people you contact that we are facing a virulent and highly organized assault on ALL natural products and procedures because they do not feed the pharmaceutical coffers and that their help is crucial.

d. Include a link to the Natural Solutions Foundation website (www.HealthFreedomUSA.org ). Ask them to become familiar with the site in order to lend their support to the health freedom battle which threatens their right to make their own health choices.

NOW! If you have ever thought about taking action
