Save our Supplements

[The Munster]

Here is a link to an organization that is campaigning against the movement in Washington to regulate ALL supplements.
You can put in your zip code and it comes up with a form that you can fill out and email a letter to your Senators and Members of the House.

Thanks Munster...every little thing can and possibly will help! I will refrain from going on a rant about these sob's trying to do this!

Just finished sending. I can't imagine what it would be like if the government gets more involved with supps.

Can you imagine having to get a prescription to get a multi-vitamin? Or protein powder?

Yeah, you'll probably have to go to the dr's office for them to check you over....that means $$$ for office visit / co-pay and then off to the store for you're now over priced multi's with another co-pay.

And then end up with some over produced synthetic crap! :grumpy:

Rant away, Heck. Some folks might not get into the other forums and inaction on the part of voters lets loads of things get passed that the public really doesn't want if they were to spend a half a second thinking about it.

Something very similar was attempted in or around 1992.

-Mr. David Kessler, Director of the FDA-tried doing the very same thing.

He tried to get congress to pass a bill that would require a prescription for vitamins etc.

I recall Sen Orin Hatch, R-Utah, getting on TV and saying that there was more outrage over this and more phone calls in Washington than ever before. The bill died an early death.

Hopefully the same thing will happen this time.


Can you imagine heading into the state pen for buying underground Vitamin C?????

And this is exactly the reason we need to be heard! You let big brother start doing this kind of crap, this will be only the begining of what they will attempt to take away from the people!

Well said Heck. I sent my letters in several months back. Let's hope we get this thing defeated!

This is the same situation over the pond, here in the UK. Hopefully it wont come to them being banned. We should think ourselves lucky though, in France creatine is illegal!! lol
