With the wave of bigger government and more regulations, our individual health freedoms are being threatened. This is clear with the actions and intentions of Senator McCain who is trying to introduce more legislation to increase the regulation of natural supplements. I know I have written about this before, but I do so again because this issue is critically important to me. I never want anyone to legislate how I can choose to naturally take care of my health and my patients’ health. Unfortunately with ever increasing movements to regulate our food and now our supplements, we are heading down a scary path.
Specifically, Senator McCain is totally off base with the legislation about food supplements. It would take many safe and useful products off the market. It would virtually undo the DSHEA legislation that has allowed the food supplement industry to flourish and provide useful formulations that are hurting the sales of drugs, so someone got to him. He is seriously misinformed and it will take all of us working together to kill his bill, wasting needless time and effort.
He is co-sponsoring a bill that COULD eliminate your access to most of the dietary supplements you use in your supplementation regimen today. This link will enable you do take action now to help prevent this massive attack against the products that we need for our overall health and well-being.

The FDA has all the power they need to correct the abuses that do exist, but every time government sets up to kill a fly, they shoot it with a cannon! We cannot afford to needlessly drive up the cost of supplements and/or lose over 1/3 of the special formulations that are helping people today deal with issues they have and who know how dangerous the drugs they would otherwise need to take are. The “approved” drugs are either the First, Second or Third LEADING cause of death in America today depending whose figures you use.
