Does this disturb you?

Question

Getting vitamins by perscription only, that's
what the FDA is wanting to put in effect.

Learn How the Pharmaceutical Industry & the FDA
are Endangering Your Health for Profit.

When you are sick it is highly profitable to various giant corporations.
When you are well, it doesn't profit them much at all.

(Please note that at times drugs are
necessary and helpful, some can be
effectively treated without drugs or
surgery.)

This tells me that people are very successful
treating their selves or the pharmaceutical
companies wouldn't feel so threatened

Answer 1

I won't go to websites since I had a virus from that, but I'm with you. The drug companies continue to push hormone therapy for women going through menopause, even though staticts have proven it raises their chance of breast cancer. I refused it, & when the doctors asked me why, I told them that my mother died from breast cancer & then they backed off. They should have asked those questions first. I have osteoarthritis & high blood pressure. I will take the meds for the blood pressure (plus I monitor it myself) but the pain meds only when needed. A friend who is an organic gardener & is educated on vitamins recommended a vitamin for me & I checked it out & she was right. People need to educate themselves about meds & vitamins. The government has no business in our personal lives. Including reproductive choices, but that's another subject.

Answer 2

This stuff is nothing new, I started getting into natural health and vitamins in the 1980's and have been trying to warn people about this. The FDA and the drug companies are in bed together. The drug companies have more lobbyists in washington then any other business, they want to sell us drugs.
They are warning the public about the hazards of taking too many vitamins, well when's the last time you heard about someone dying or getting sick from a vitamin?

Answer 3

Want to take action? Here's what I received from WMTI :

FDA and Your Practice

This is serious business and can impact your right to use the products you choose to affect your own health, not to mention the health of others. Take action now!

There is a crisis in health freedom. On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.

[P]ublic outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom. Spread the word! Tell everyone ... how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

Please share this link with them and urge them to take action:

Answer 4

What a shame. This is all about GREED. The FDA is a joke. Do your research, people!

I highly recommend that people read the book "Health Myths Exposed" by Shane Ellison, a former Pharmaceutical Chemist.

Thank you for posting this; the more attention this issue gets, the better!!!

Answer 5

Yes, I heard about this, and I've already given the FDA my $10 worth of 2 cents.

I've also contacted my senators and representatives as well.

It's sickening. We are going to become the biggest biological experiment of drugs and cloned foods if the biotech and pharmaceutical companies get thier way.

Answer 6

Yes this thing disturbs me But I know my limitations ! How can we do something to this ? Many diseases are such that can be treated with the household remedies and of course many among them are self limiting! Every society and culture should try to make this publically understood that what is happening and it is a joint responsibility mainly on medias and electronic medias 1 God bless there ! Always YouRsmE

Answer 7

Answer 8

I am furious at the FDA. I have writen to them and congress. They are trying to steal our freedoms!

Answer 9

Yes, government intervention disturbs me.

Answer 10

Getting vitamins only on prescription is MUCH better, they finally came to their senses.
Now people like you (with no medical qualifications) cant self-prescribe themselves.
