FDA'S SLEAZY AGENDA TO BURN US ON AUGUST 27:
The FDA's current proposed rule (Docket No. 98-N-0044) bears the SAME
IDENTICAL NUMBER as an EVEN MORE restrictive proposed rule currently
pending in SOUTH AFRICA!! (When I called Dr. Robert Moore at FDA to
inquire about this "coincidence" he as "smirking" on the phone, and
"rubbing
his hands together in gleeful anticipation.
What does this mean? I'll tell you what it means, it means that the
criminals at
the US FDA (and in the South African MCC) are ALREADY taking their
MARCHING ORDERS from the globalists in Brussels, Geneva, and Rome!!! If
we should fail to STEP IN IN LARGE ENOUGH NUMBERS in order to GET
BACK IN THEIR FACES, we'll have the IRON BOOT stamping in our faces
FOREVER! THE SHELL GAME IS HAPPENING RIGHT UNDER OUR
NOSES, and ITS UP TO US TO _BLOW THE WHISTLE ON IT!_ (If you
don't have time to read the additional explanation below, just skip to
the end,
cut and paste the provided form letter into a new message, sign it, and
forward
it to the FDA. Do it again and again and again, don't just send it one
time to
the bastards! And forward this whole thing to your friends!
The International Pharmaceutical Industry's concerted effort to
undermine and
take over the dietary supplement industry began in earnest on June 18,
1989
with the first meeting of ESCOP, the European Scientific Cooperative on
Phytotherapy, in Cologne, Germany. I don't think its any coincidence
that this
meeting was held in Cologne, which is where Madaus AG is located. Madaus
AG and Schwabe are the two largest German phytopharmaceutical companies,
and they are part of a sleazy coalition called the EAPC, (European
American
Phytomedicines Coalition) which is comprised of American herb companies
which have sold out, and European (mostly German) phytopharmaceutical
companies.
These companies have been petitioning the FDA since 1992 in an effort to
turn herbs into
"drugs". I don't think its any coincidence that Norway began
"harmonizing" their food and drug
laws to really restrictive WHO guidelines right after that first ESCOP
meeting. Today, you can't buy
vitamins and minerals within the therapeutic range in Norway, and
anything that doesn't have an
RDA, as well as all vitamins more than 2.5 x the RDA are regulated as
"drugs" and are heavily
restricted and grossly overpriced– WHEN YOU CAN GET THEM AT ALL!!! (If
you want
that here, do nothing, and I guarantee, it will happen.)
This "listings" system that was first developed in Norway to regulate
vitamins as "DRUGS" then
spread throughout Europe, with the exception of England and Holland. It
also spread to Australia, it
has been partially shoved down the throats of Canadians, and they're
trying to shove it down the
throats of S.Africans, and the Kiwis of New Zealand RIGHT NOW in a VERY
BLATANT
manner!
They know they can't move as aggressively here in the USA to push this
pharmaceutical agenda, so they are currently trying to TAKE A HUGE BITE
out of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA)
in
an effort to begin a process of "HARMONIZING" us to EEC 65/65, the
European Commission Directive through which dietary supplements are
regulated as "DRUGS" in Europe.
(We TOLD the FDA we didn't WANT this so called "HARMONIZATION" last
fall when we succeeded in getting dietary supplements specifically
exempted from the
harmonization language in the FDA Reform Bill, but they are RELENTLESSLY
trying through
RULE MAKING to get past what we have BLOCKED them from doing
legislatively!!!! When we
were doing our work on Capital Hill last fall to get the FDA Reform Bill
amended, RELENTLESS
efforts by companies within the EAPC were made to STOP us, because these
"sold out" companies
WANT herbs to be regulated as "DRUGS"!!! (So we can't TRUST the
supplement
industry to defend us, WE MUST DO IT OURSELVES, because the vitamin
trade associations are increasingly being controlled by herb companies
which
have SOLD OUT!
For THIS REASON, if you do not help me pump the following form letter in
to
the FDA in VERY HIGH VOLUME, like ANY schoolyard bully, the FDA will
then QUESTION OUR RESOLVE, and they'll take any sign of weakness from
us as a sign that they can DO WHATEVER THEY WANT!!!! (And if we give
them an inch, they'll try to take TWO HUNDRED MILES, because THATS the
way they ALWAYS do things!
I've been fighting them professionally for 10 years, and believe me, I
know how they do things. I
know these guys! I've had MEETINGS with them, and know the way they
think! I once had a
meeting with Gary Dykstra, Deputy Associate Commissioner of Regulatory
Affairs. It was supposed
to be a one on one meeting. I KNEW he'd bring 15 of his cronies to the
meeting so they could all
GANG UP on me, and SURE ENOUGH, this is what he did! But I foiled him by
bringing Clinton
Ray Miller with me, so I wasn't alone.
Clint is the most experienced health freedom lobbyist in America. We
turned a tape recorder on,
stuck it in Dykstra's face, and informed him that he was a public
servant and that we were going to
tape the proceedings. The year was 1990, one year after ESCOP held their
first meeting in
Germany. Dykstra had a really draconian proposed rule on the table,
which was IDENTICAL to
the German Codex proposal.
The proposed rule went with the passage of the Nutrition Labeling and
Education Act of 1990, a
terrible bill that the FDA was able to fast track through Congress
because WE WEREN'T
PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION! Dykstra proposed banning vitamins and minerals
more than
2.5 x the RDA, and anything without an RDA would have been regulated as
a "drug" (his proposal
was IDENTICAL to the German Codex Proposal. We wanted an extension on
the comments
period, because this was before the web was used to disseminate
documents, and the only way
anyone could get a copy of FDA's proposed rule was through the US
gummint printing office, and
they ONLY PRINTED 200 copies! (So hardly anyone could even FIND OUT what
was going
on!!!!)
If we hadn't gotten DSHEA through Congress, Dykstra's proposed rule
would have been shoved
down our throats at HIGH SPEED! But we EMBARRASSED the FDA and their
DRUG CARTEL
masters when we got DSHEA through Congress, causing them to lose face to
the German
Burgermeisters and to the Trilateralists who are trying to shove a world
government down our
throats at top speed.
****The FDA has ALREADY ANNOUNCED their intention to
"HARMONIZE" their regulations to emerging CODEX standards. They made
this unconstitutional announcement on July 7, 1997 in the 1997 Federal
Register, Vol. 62, #129 pp.36243-36248. I filed comments opposing this,
asking
them why they intended to give more power to the Codex Commission than
was
warranted under even the BROADEST interpretation of our obligations
under
international law, and demanded to know why they didn't petition the
appropriate Federal District Court in order to find out what their
constitutional
obligations were in this situation.
PLEASE! HELP _STOP_ FDA'S DESPICABLE SHELL GAME!
FLOOD THEM WITH THE ENCLOSED FORM LETTER BY SENDING IT
_REPEATEDLY_ to them at jbutl...@bangate.fda.gov and urge all of your
FRIENDS
to do the same!!! Go to your health food store and SHOW THIS to the
owner's and managers and
INSIST that they help out! They MUST bagstuff copies of the enclosed
form letter, and You
MUST help me, because I can't win this battle for you without YOUR HELP!
Each of you who
reads this must help compensate for the fact that it's the end of July
and a lot of people are on
vacation. Therefor, each of you who reads this: please TAKE IMMEDIATE
ACTION and ALERT
MORE PEOPLE!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Form letter follows:
BY AUGUST 27,1998 [Docket No. 98N-0044] RIN 0910-AA59
Regulations on Statements Made for Dietary Supplements Concerning the
Effect of the Product on the Structure or Function of the Body; Proposed
Rule
and Dietary Supplements: Comments on Report of the Commission on Dietary
Supplement Labels; Notice
Submit written comments to: Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) FDA
200 C. St. SW, Washington DC 20204, 202-205-4697, email to FDA at
jbutl...@bangate.fda.gov
To Whom it May Concern at FDA:
Your proposed rule will have an adverse effect on public health by
placing
arbitrary and capricious limits on the allowable health information to
be
presented to consumers at the point of sale on dietary supplements, in
complete
violation of the first amendment. Your definition of disease is overly
broad.
Under proposed §101.93(g)(1) a "disease" is any deviation from,
impairment
of, or interruption of the normal structure or function of any part,
organ, or
system (or combination thereof) of the body that is manifested by a
characteristic set of one or more signs or symptoms.) Thus, in your zeal
to
"insure that dietary supplements don't act as a disincentive to new drug
development" (the now "immortal" words of FDA's Gary Dykstra), you would
even disallow structure/function claims relative to aging: ie "hot
flashes".
(Since when are"aging" or the menopause "disease states"?) You are
clearly
over-reaching here.
Norman Farnsworth, PhD was on the Commission on Dietary Supplement
Labels and is a Research Professor in Pharmacognosy and Senior
University
Scholar at University of Illinois. In a letter dated December 15, 1997,
he stated
to Michael Friedman of FDA that your final rules "were not helpful to
industry
as to how to craft truthful non misleading health claims." For this
reason, the
CDSL stated on p.37 of their Report "...it is possible to craft a
statement of
nutritional support and not a health claim or drug claim." Farnsworth
went on
to say "it seems to me that having a mild to moderately elevated
cholesterol
level being lowered is a clear structure function claim as opposed to a
statement
that lowering cholesterol may prevent atherosclerosis."
In the US District Court in Utah, Judge Dale Kimball just issued an
injunction
against FDA to force you to lift your aribtarily imposed ban on
cholestin, and I
am ALSO telling you to BACK OFF!! I remind you that the drive to pass
DSHEA generated more mail to Congress than any issue in HISTORY,
including the VIETNAM WAR! Where do you get off trying to circumvent the
will of Congress? Is it your belief that the law is "in your mouth?"
Red rice yeast extract (Cholestin) is not a "drug". It has been used as
a dietary
supplement for years in both China and the United States. Dr.Farnsworth
considers it to be a dietary supplement, and I agree with his expert
opinion.
Foods are NOT drugs, and neither is WATER!
In your zeal to force "harmonization" to the EU's EEC 65/65, you are
trying to
push dietary supplements across a line from food to "drug", as has been
done
in the EU. We remind you that dietary supplements were specifically
exempted
from the "harmonization" language in the FDA Reform Bill, and that
Congress was flooded with faxes, email, and outraged calls over this
issue in
October, 1997.
(cc to my Senators and Congressman in support of HR 2868 which removes
food from the definition of "drug")
