Stand up for your right to purchase Vitamins, Minerals, & Herbs!   Please help us to be able to help you. As many of you know, the FDA has been trying to ban the sale of vitamins, herbs and minerals for years.  I am not only concerned for my livelihood, but the right to choose a natural way to stay healthy.   In the near future, it may be a crime to take vitamin c for a cold without a prescription, or the FDA could just take a widely used vitamin, mineral or herb supplement off the market if the label states a benefit!   I am very concerned as you should be!   With the passing of HR2900, which includes S1082, the FDA could BAN Vitamins. Read How Our Tax Dollars And Politicians Do Not Work For Us. The People's Safety, Health, and Interests Do Not Matter. Money Rules!   Alternative therapies and dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and herbs are the true competition to the FDA's "Big Pharma". An underlying primary goal of the FDA is to help  "Big Pharma" eliminate competition from the market.   Here's what S1082 boils down to - If you use an herbal or dietary supplement to stay healthy or to help prevent an ailment, that's fine. But if any supplement is used to treat a symptom, then it's a medicine and will be regulated by the FDA, just like any prescription drug. And there's a qualifying statement to that second part: The supplement will be exempted if it is "generally recognized, among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs, as safe and effective for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling".     How The Legislation Started.....  Thank You Senators Kennedy and Enzi, But NO THANKS! The attack against our health freedom, drug safety, and dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, and herbs!), was launched by Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) with major support from Michael Enzi (R-WY). It is called the Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act (S1082). This legislation was planned over the past few years working hand-in-glove with the FDA's dysfunctional management and legal team - meaning this legislation was written for the profits of Big Pharma and Big Biotech at the expense of safety and human health. The FDA and the drug companies have been very close for some time now, the bill S1082 is proposing to arrange a marriage between Big Pharma and its regulatory agency.    PLEASE OPPOSE HR2900, S.1082, S. 3002 and S. 3217 The Anti-Dietary Supplement Bill of 2010   The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) is under attack again! S. 3002, the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 introduced by Senators McCain and Dorgan, is regulatory over-kill.  I urge you to oppose these bills. The FDA has sufficient authority to regulate dietary supplements. This bill will create undue regulatory burden for responsible manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and do nothing to stop the unlawful activity of a handful of unscrupulous businesses.  S. 3002 calls for onerous additional mandatory registration duties for manufacturers as well as distributors of dietary supplements. This would include individuals and small businesses involved in multi-level marketing companies that sell dietary supplements.  S. 3002 would impose civil penalties for non-compliance equal to double their gross profits when a violation of certain provisions of the food law occurs.  S. 3002 expands the existing mandatory  reporting on serious adverse events to include ALL non-serious adverse events, even when no proof or verification of causation is determined.  S. 3002 contains NO procedural safeguards for abuse of power in the case of removing dietary ingredients from the market. Sellers would be forced to litigate with the FDA (which could take years) before proceeding to a court of law and returning product to market. S. 3002 sends a signal of support to backdoor a policy shift towards the dangerous "permission please positive list" policy implemented in Europe.  This concept has dramatically restricted European's access to dietary supplements. I strongly oppose such a policy in the United States. Don't let dietary supplements be regulated out of existence! Dietary supplements are used by  more than two-thirds of Americans.   They promote wellness and improve health.   This is an attempt to dismantle DSHEA, a law that was enacted following years of hearings and debate. The current Administration is aggressively enforcing the law and needs no further powers or regulatory burdens.   Please DO NOT co-sponsor S. 3002, the misnamed Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, and work to oppose it.   ALSO VERY IMPORTANT  ***  ACTION ALERT  ***     Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) successfully slipped an obscure anti-supplement measure into the Wall Street Financial Reform bill and it has already passed in the House of Representatives. This secretive amendment was carefully crafted to not use words that would have raised red flags within our industry.  The amendment has nothing to do with financial reform, but provides a back door that could support a  piecemeal dismantling of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).  As many of us in the industry remember, DSHEA resulted from a monumental grassroots effort in 1994.  And today, millions of Americans recognize the importance of this law as it protects our right to choose dietary supplements as part of a daily health plan . . . at least for now.  We must stop the Senate version of this bill as amended. Tell Your Senators to OPPOSE the FTC amendment to S.3217 and S.3002, the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010    Get informed and get involved now!   Please Go to    www.csofh.org (Just cut and Paste this link if it does not take you there) Please share this information with anyone you know that wants to preserve their health freedoms.   With the passing of HR2900, that includes S1082, how long do you think it will take the FDA with 'Big Pharma's' backing to eliminate our Vitamins and Minerals?     2.Discover Acupuncture!  now  at Health Choices Affordable, Natural, Drug-Free & Effective Are you tired of reaching for medications with unwanted side effects?

NaturalNews Those who seek answers for their health outside the realm of their own decisions are looking in the wrong place. Health is no accident. Lasting health can only appear as the result of a lifetime of informed, deliberate decisions aligned with nature's principles of health, not the distorted version of health promoted by our backward system of mainstream medicine. And yet many people still believe that health is something that is bestowed upon them by some mysterious exterior force. The whole effort to raise money to find "the cure" for cancer, for example, is a powerful demonstration of misplaced faith in external healing. This idea that a cure for cancer must come from outside one's self rather than from within is perhaps the greatest conceptual sleight of hand that has yet been pulled off by the sick-care industry. The cure for cancer is already programmed within. Each person is born with a highly-advanced cellular nanotechnology that already knows how to cure cancer. Activating this inner healing potential is all that's necessary to prevent and cure cancer everywhere around the world, starting right now. Health happens through you, not to you And yet the masses continue to eat cancer-causing foods and pursue cancer-causing lifestyles even while blindly handing over their money in the form of donations to organizations that they naively hope will come along and "save them" someday. Think carefully about this dynamic: The person believes health is something that happens TO them rather than something that happens THROUGH them. And so they remain stuck, floundering in a pattern of self-inflicted sickness and disease while hoping that some other organization, government or health care plan will somehow save them. While they wait for that external solution, disease and sickness creeps up on them. Obesity is what happens when a person spends each day imagining how much they're going to start exercising tomorrow. Cancer is what happens when a person spends each day eating cancer-causing foods and donating money to Komen for the Cure rather than just getting some sunshine to boost their own vitamin D. Disease is what happens when people believe they have no role in their own health outcome. So they eat for entertainment rather than for nourishment, and they live for product-induced external stimulation rather than internal fulfillment. Woosh -- right over their heads! At this point in this article, by the way, we've already lost 99 out of 100 mainstream people. These concepts -- that health is no accident -- are so foreign to the average pre-programmed consumer that they are incapable of recognizing them, much less embracing them. They've been told so many times that health comes through intervention (vaccines, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy, etc.) that the idea of health being created from within just doesn't compute for them. And that's the way mainstream medicine likes it. A population that believes it has no control over its own health is ripe for exploitation by a highly interventionist medical industry. Those who have lost hope in their own inner health potential tend to place their hope in things like silly pink-ribbon fundraisers that promise to "end breast cancer forever" -- a wishy-washy idea that lies somewhere between poetic fiction and outright marketing fraud. Cancer can never be "cured" through any external, artificial means, regardless of how many billions of dollars are thrown at it. Trying to cure cancer with synthetic medications makes about as much sense as trying to cure illiteracy by feeding children "reading pills." Health is a determined path, not an accidental occurrenceHealth, like learning to read, is something that must be pursued through dedicated self-advancement. Neither literacy nor health can be endowed upon you with the flick of a magic (medication) wand. They cannot be injected into you through a needle. They can only be achieved by teaching each person how to own their results. If you wish to learn how to read, for example, you must first accept responsibility that no one else can read for you. YOU must go through the learning and advancement curve if you wish to experience the positive results of being literate.  Thanks, Diane!!                               The above article comes from Susie Grimmett at Health Choices 1742 Herlong Village Dr. Suite 102, Rock Hill, SC 29732  (803) 366-8070 www.healthchoices.biz
