well, i hear conflicting stories...on this list a member says he has been in the
supplement field for years and none of the big makers are really concerned. 
then yesterday a man from a bio-tech company locally told a different story.
his company processes raw ingredients and even has 3 prescription products.  he
said the big companies in the industry are very concerned and already some of
the manufactures are branching into other fields in anticipation of codex.  this
man is firmly entrenched enough in the field to be considered very
knowledgeable.  he said at the conventions he has attended, lunches he has been
at etc the talk is not one of lack of concern.  apparently there is A LOT of
concern...stress...a lot.

i think we need to keep our eyes and ears open.

a rose...
