Finally, legislation to protect their right to know the science behind the supplements! March 23, 2010 Print this post today Take Action. Co-sponsors will help us to obtain the freedom of expression in the Science Act, HR 4913! Consumers are largely in ignorance about the potential health benefits of foods and supplements. Why? Because the current law makes it illegal to feed and supplement manufacturers to share this Congress informazioni.Oggi Jason Chaffetz (R, UT) and Jared Polis (D, CO) have introduced freedom of speech in Science Act (HR 4913). This historic legislation to protect the fundamental rights of freedom of expression, end censorship of science, and allows the community to natural health products to share peer-reviewed scientific knowledge on natural products pubblico.ANH-United States work for the introduction of this bill for several years. Now that it’s finally here, we need your help to get sponsors and sostegno.A first glance, this might not seem a bill blockbuster. But look closely. If approved, the freedom of speech science has the potential to transform the field of health to educate the public about the real science behind natural health. This is a small bill with great potential influenza.Per this reason, the project will have opposition. It will be opposed by the FDA for reasons I’ll explain below. It will be opposed by the pharmaceutical companies fear competition from natural health approaches based on diet, food supplements and lifestyle. Please do not let these special interests to stop this bill. Contact your representative today. Ask co-sponsor this vital legislation. From ora.Sappiamo all consumers seek reliable information on the support of legitimate scientific research to make informed decisions about diet and health. Access to information is essential to know what foods and food supplements are very healthy and contribute to the good mission statement salute.La the FDA said the agency has the task of helping educate the public about health. The agency largely ignored this mission and only seems determined to keep the science is valid under involucri.Le pharmaceutical companies, of course, entirely free to inundate the airwaves and print ads. As has been well established, the FDA has little control over these ads. In some cases, drug ads are highly misleading. For example, if you listen carefully to a notice of antacid medications, which will give the impression that the medications can cure heartburn but does not attempt to do so (because the drug does not care and may actually worsen the situation.) In sharp contrast to the treatment of pharmaceutical companies, current FDA regulations categorically prohibit food and supplement manufacturers to mention the link between a product and a good health, even if the link is determined by peer review scientific studies leaving Harvard and other highly respected universities. Any producer who fails to comply with the censorship system will have its product declared an unapproved drug. Sell an unapproved drug in turn will lead to fines and even carcere.La FDA issued warning letters to many different food producers to prevent consumers tell the truth about the healthy nature of their products. For example, producers of cherries have been designed and implemented on the basis of scientific peer-reviewed articles that demonstrate the benefits of cherries “for gout and arthritis. For years the FDA has banned health claims of the benefits of ‘fish oil for heart, cancer, depression, body aches, and various other terms until the biotech company paid through the approval process. As expected, the FDA approved version of fish oil (the only one that can be reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid and VA) costs as much as ten times more than anything else available, qualità.Secondo fish oil discharged from the FDA provide a link on a website for a scientific study make a healthy fruit or nut of a drug not approved, a strange result that effectively denies the scientific information that the U.S. could alleviate their illnesses or even save their vite.Se The FDA insists that the cherries must be made through the entire review process of drugs in order to petition state of health, why not go ahead? The problem is that FDA approval easily cost a billion dollars! Pharmaceutical companies can only pay these sums because they have a patent protection and patent protection are used to create a monopoly on the sale of the product. The result? $ 100 per pill in some blood casi.Prodotti can not be patented and therefore can not be achieved in general through such an expensive approval process. The FDA knows if ignored. It deliberately excludes most of the natural substances made by the FDA medicina.Chi expect to pay the billions of dollars of costs of the approval of cherries? The producers of cherries? And do not forget the cherry growers who can not combine their efforts to d

   You hit the nail on the head. We’re talking about products that should not be patented. If you can not patent, then who will pay for FDA approval – a massive cost. The answer is no unless they believe they can recover the cost solely on the supply and vendita.Va and food supplements. It extends to all their health outside the medical skeptics Alt Med moderna.Gli try to say that Alt Med is big business – industry of millions of dollars. What is a good comparison to drugs – an industry with billions of dollars. (For those who have difficulty with numbers, which is 1 million times 1 million.) Yes, when I make the big money, I click Alt Med! Reading much of what is said about you, it seems this is worse in the U.S. here in Australia. However, our government (no matter which party, are all the same) take a copy of U.S. policies and can not be long for us.

   Thank you very much for posting this. I was educated in health during the past eight years. You’re just right. I tried to understand how to educate people and convince them all that I learned. Nobody wants to hear and nobody cares. Chemo is the biggest scam in the world.
