they've been trying to do this since the days of bob hoffman, the washington lobbyist for the supp industry got it covered.

The supplement industry is full of a bunch of low life crooks.. ripping people off with bullshit products that don’t work… or often times do not contain what the label claims. This is one industry that could use a little *regulation*.

Listen up - you do not need supplements, just eat a well balanced diet and save your cash.

read the thread, digest the points I have made there. & listen to the fucking show before you speak.

YOU listen up JAMES. vitamins & naturopathic medicine/ supplements saved my life, more than once. along with many others. I take them in addition to a balanced diet...and if you arent careful the balanced diet will be gone as well. ~If you dont believe me, google MONSANTO.

if you are in favor of govt regulation and putting that in the hands of big pharma u then i have no words for you.

changed my status update, copy and paste in yours if u wish.

Do you want ease of access and affordability to vitamins and nutritional supplements? Stop FDA regulation NOW! Keep them out of the hands of the pharmacuetical industry. Please take some time out of your day, listen to show #453 on www.superhumanradio.com
and then TAKE ACTION!!! www.LEF.ORG

Your too fucking cute to take seriously. Honestly, let congress do what they want.  They are a bunch of hacks who can't run anything.

If they regulate it, then maybe I can finally use my flexible spending account to buy supps and save some cash.

first, let me ask you. where do you live? are you even living in the US?

second.. its not about conspiracy theories. its about things that are coming into play & if we dont nip them in the bud, it could get ugly for us all.

third, Im tired of hearing everyone bitch and complain, day in and day out, the govt does this, the govt does that..they are killing us, etc etc. with a total defeatist & victim mentality. ~if you dont like something, get up off your fcking ass and do something about it!   & quite frankly, im sick and tired of all these conspiracy theories with no real action to back them up!

all this talk and other nonsense, but what is anyone really DOING?

thank you on the cute part. i keep trying  ;D

u speak in riddles, first you say let them do what they want, and in the same breath u say, 'They are a bunch of hacks who can't run anything.'

& then i dont follow you on the last part.  ???  there are limits to what my mind can comprehend

Try reading the entire bill.  There is nothing bad about it at all.  How about this, show me what part of the bill, from the text of the bill, that specifically bothers you and why.

You will come to see your worrying is all for naught and that you have been misguided this whole time.

Also, to repeat what the others have said, Snake Oil doesn`t work.

you didnt answer my question. but anyway..

vitamins dont work?  ???  hmm, i guess protien powder doent work either then? you guys dont get it. you think im talking about bodybuilding supplements, but I am not. Im talking about BBing supps, and the vitamin & supplement industry as a whole. I tend to agree about most BBing supps being worthless..so I dont waste my money on em!  BUT, there needs to be a choice. Each individual should decide what works for them.

heres an example,.. I recently overcame a very painful & debilitating carpal tunnel injury. both hands, wrists, and forearms. come to find out, it was vit B6 deficiancy related. nerve damage from B6 deficiancy, and carpal tunnel symptoms as a result. who knew  ???

they were ready to operate. I was facing months of recovery time, missing gym, disability, etc, already not having the use of my hands, the ability to work, grip the steering wheel, write, brush my teeth, etc. i couldnt even ******! for weeks, i was a mess. I added a B supp to my regimen and now within a couple weeks I'm as good as new. it brought instant relief. 20 min after i took it I felt the ice leave my nerves, & from then on I got progressively better. I was in alot of pain. so dont tell ME what works.

Do you think my doctor said one word about possible vitamin deficiency? no. the only answer was surgery and pain medication, and a brace. thats just 'tough shit' for me, right?   ..so i guess the 'taxpayers' ought to pay for my disability, rather than me having the ability to take my health and well being into my own hands???


what works and what doesnt is certainly up for debate, and there are many variables.., but you saying they dont work only means it didnt work for YOU. so, why dont you simply avoid them. I respectfully disagree, however, and would like the choice to use my 'snake oils' like vit B, colloidal silver, etc if I so desire, without having to get a prescription for it. you DO understand what big pharma is trying to do, no?

look i am not here to disregard your sufering, but carpal tunnel injury is the result of compression of the median nerve  passing through  a canal in the wrist (the carpal tunnel,) and is usually the result of noxious repetitive activity. Unless you fell flat on both ur hands or some weird stuff like that there is no way you would get it in both arms at the same time since they are subject to different stresses. So whatever u had that was not it. Obviously the symptoms and fast cure flag psycho-somatic illness but saying so without more info would be to unfairly dismiss your real complaints. The issue is: if a placebo can cure you, then great but let’s make sure it is a harmless one

Now we already have a huge bunch of big pharma placebos, so we can afford to ban the harmful alternative crap out there. This way u can go to an alternative practitioner and get the happy feeling they specialise on, which is essential for a great placebo effect and not jeopardize your health

Point is, whether you think vitamins and supplements are worth a damn or not let people decide for themselves. Aren't people getting sick of this nanny government telling you what they think is good for you or not?

It's one thing to imploy moral persuasion to do things that are good for you (like exercise/good diet) or to avoid things that are bad for you (smoking/riding without a helmet) but it's quite another to pass laws, using the power of government, to force you to do what they deem is best for you.

Leave us alone already.

Thats just it, the bill is not outlawing or keeping anyone from doing anything.
