I posted on this last week, but somehow or another, the post has disappeared.  My comment was Thank Goodness we have people out there not only watching the FDA, but able to interpret their legalese and alert us to the real threat underlying the obscure phrases. THIS IS A VERY REAL THREAT!  READ ON.

Who would have thought that "Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration" meant:

  • All vitamins, nutritional supplements and functional foods will be stripped of their structure & function claims, reducing them to empty labels where virtually nothing at all is allowed to be stated.
  • Vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug. Raw juice retreats will be raided or shut down.
  • Growing and selling common garden herbs will get you arrested as a drug dealer.
  • Massage oils and handheld massagers will be regulated as "medical devices."
  • Yoga props, pilates machines and weight machines will be regulated as "medical devices" and require FDA approval before being sold or used.
  • Raw sprouts and other anti-cancer foods will be regulated as drugs.
  • Bottled water that "treats" dehydration will be regulated as a drug.
  • Massage therapists who use hot rocks as part of their therapy will have the ROCKS regulated as medical devices! (It's true. The FDA will actually look at a pile of rocks and declare, "Those are medical devices!")
  • Functional foods, supplements, vitamins and homeopathic remedies will disappear from store shelves, pending FDA "review." (The only things remaining will be processed junk foods and pharmaceuticals, which is exactly what Big Business wants.)
  • Therapeutic tea products, such as green tea, will be outlawed and confiscated.
  • Vitamin store owners will be arrested and prosecuted for "practicing medicine without a license."
  • Citizens owning personal inventories of "unapproved drugs" (vitamins and herbs) may have their homes raided at gunpoint and their inventories confiscated by armed law enforcement agents.
  • The importation of herbs and functional foods from all countries may be banned.

    • Thanks to Mike Adams at Newstarget.com for the list.

    The regulation is open to comment until April 30th, and boy, do we need to comment!

    GO HERE TO DO SO, and please pass this on to your friends who have the same concerns
