I am sending this on, to those of you who may be inclined to
be activists. If you value your ability to make rational decisions
in your own health care, or wish to preserve your right to purchase
and consume supplements, herbals, or seek alternative health care,
please take a moment to send your comments on this critical issue.
Big Pharma croneyism, and Big Brother restrictions on our health
decisions, should not be allowed.
THANKS!

HEALTH FREEDOM ALERT
Your Action is Urgently Needed
Before I tell you why your health freedom is at serious risk right
now and what you need to do to protect it, I want to thank each and
every one of you who responded so generously to the First Quarter
Fund Raising campaign we just concluded. We asked you to cover our
operating budget of $85,000 for the first quarter of 2007 and you
did. The amazing thing is that we raised EXACTLY $85,000 on the
nose. We got donations in odd amounts like $7 and of $11 and
round numbers, too. At the end, the total was precisely an exact
match with the amount we needed. In all my time working with
humanitarian organizations I have never seen anything like this.
So a heart-felt thanks to all of you.
If you missed our fund raiser and you want to donate now, that's
fine, too. Just click here <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/

Houston, We Have a Problem!
The US FDA is at it again. They have been notorious for decades
for their biased attacks and uneven handling of natural, non-drug/
surgery/radiation based health options. This time, though, they
are playing for keeps.
The goal is simple: through a "Guidance" about the regulation of
"CAM" (which they conveniently define as "Complementary and
Alternative MEDICINE" the FDA hopes to serve the interests of Big
Pharma by eliminating all CAM practices and products. ALL of them.
Here's how this deadly game is played:
1. By using the term "Medicine" rather than "Modality" for CAM
practices, the FDA sets the stage so that anyone who is not a
licensed physician is breaking the law by using these modalities
since they are therefore 'practicing medicine without a license'.
2. By using the term "treatment" rather than "therapy", the FDA
limits those who can perform these practices to licensed physicians
and, again, anyone who is not a licensed physician is breaking the
law by using these modalities since only licensed practitioners can
treat. So people using these modalities are therefore 'practicing
medicine without a license'.
3. By using the terms "Medicine" and "treatment" instead of
"Modalities" and "therapy", all substances, including vitamins,
minerals, herbs, co-factors, etc., automatically become untested
drugs since they are being used to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure
disease states. Such use can only legally take place with FDA
approved drugs.
Here's How We Protect CAM Practices,
Practitioners and Products
Numbers. Sheer volume of response. Nothing more and nothing
less. NOW is the time to act. Our window of opportunity slams
shut on April 30, 2007.

That is the link which allows you to send a comment directly to the
FDA about their deadly "Guidance". Will it matter? Yes, if
millions of people respond. So I am asking you to take this "viral".
Here is what you need to do
NOW
if you value your freedom:
1. Click on the link below and add your name to the letter. When
you click "Send" it will be electronically delivered to the FDA
docket site and posted.
2. Write a brief note (or copy the information in this email)
including this link , http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc <http://
www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?
key=316466142&url_num=4&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F2u7ghc> ,
and mail it to every one you can. In your email please:
a. Include everyone you know and tell them that their freedom to
choose their own health modalities and options is under serious
attack.
b. Send the same email to the the companies which make the
vitamins, minerals and herbs you use and ask them to send it out to
their entire mailing list.
c. Impress upon the people you contact that we are facing a
virulent and highly organized assault on ALL natural products and
procedures because they do not feed the pharmaceutical coffers and
that their help is crucial.
d. Include a link to the Natural Solutions Foundation website
(www.HealthFreedomUSA.org <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/
track.jsp?key=316466142&url_num=5&url=http%3A%2F%
2Fwww.HealthFreedomUSA.org> ). Ask them to become familiar with
the site in order to lend their support to the health freedom
battle which threatens their right to make their own health choices.
NOW!
If you have ever thought about taking action to protect your health
freedom, NOW is the time to do it.
If you have never thought about taking action, now is the time to
think about it and do it.
In my opinion, this is a full blown assault on your rights and mine
to opt for strategies which use natural options and procedures.
5,000,000
That's our goal. Two weeks, five million comments to the FDA, all
asserting our fundamental right to control our own health.Can we
do it? It's up to you.Here's the link:http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc
