[quote:Anonymous Coward 9231012:MV8xMDQ5NjgzXzMzNjg0NDM3XzUwQUM5QjEx] I buy my vitamins and many medicines from overseas Pharmacies. I have never been disappointed. I am older and have asthma and airborne allergies really bad so as a result of this I tend to get Pneumonia every other year and have to drag to a doctor and sometimes go into the hospital, last hospital visit was 11 days and ate all our saving. Now that I buy my own antibiotics, medicines and vitamins online I have saved my own life 4 times, saved countless dollars. I would not advise this method unless you really know your body, like I definitely know now when I have walking pneumonia and I have been through it so much that i know what antibiotic are best for it. Self-medicating isn't for the run of the mill dumb ass who doesn't want to scour through medical documentations and dosages and learn as much as they can before they self-medicate. So now I can easily buy something like a Glaxo-Smith drug for $2 that is sold in the states for $30. My Albutarol rescue inhalers for asthma used to cost us almost 100 for 2 a month here with insurance, now I pay $3 for the same drugs with the same doses. My sister now buys her husband's male enhancement drugs too for pennies on the dollar. It's silly to let the FDA rule your life and drain your pockets. [/quote]

Congressman Waxman Slips Obscure Anti-Supplement Measure into Wall St. “Reform” Bill Passed by the House; Please Take Action to Prevent Same Thing Happening in the Senate!

The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173), recently passed in the House of Representatives, includes language going far beyond finance inserted by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA). This language could be used for an end run around the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), the legislation that governs dietary supplement regulation by the FDA.
The Senate Wall St “reform” bill, the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 (S. 3217), doesn’t contain the Waxman provision yet. But we know that Senator Rockefeller (D-WV) may offer an amendment including Waxman’s language. Please help us stop this. Please take action now to help us maintain access to low cost, high quality supplements. Tell your senators not to support any amendments that give FTC unchecked power to over-regulate areas they don’t understand, including dietary supplements.
