Senator DICK Durbin wants to make your supplements more expensive!
Its under 50%

We’re reaching a critical juncture yet again as NHF’s arch enemy – the enemy of health and health freedom – Tricky Dick Durbin has reintroduced his, or his Masters’, bill to squash supplements in the U.S. Senate, now numbered as S.1425.

Durbin’s bill is innocently called the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act but it is nothing less than another attempt to shut down the dietary-supplement industry through a series of gradually suffocating laws, rules, and regulations that will do not one ounce of good but will instead price supplements out of the reach of poor and lower-income persons, at least of those supplements that remain should his bill be enacted. Like its forerunner, this new bill will be a disaster for dietary supplements and those consumers who buy them.

Remember first how these people work. They have cleverly coupled this legislative assault with a media disinformation campaign that bombards us like leaflets from WWII bombers. Drug-industry shills such as Dr. Profit – oh, excuse me, Dr. Offit – pontificate to the World in a pseudo-authoritative prose and obviously “bought off” syntax that supplements are a pointless waste of money and bad, even dangerous, in his latest pro-drug, slam-tactic book. Sadly, this causes many who would turn to natural medicine to instead avoid such help and entrust themselves to the same conventional medical system that sees more than 120,000 deaths EACH AND EVERY YEAR in the U.S. alone – according to the U.S. Government’s own figures. As with his previous attempt, Durbin’s bill must be opposed and defeated, with a stake through its heart.

Just reading through the bill its kind of scary because of just how many supplements will get caught in the net "the Secretary shall compile a list of dietary supplement ingredients and proprietary blends of ingredients that the Secretary determines could cause potentially serious adverse events, drug interactions, or contraindications"

Re: Senator DICK Durbin wants to make your supplements more expensive!
I am so fucking sick of these bought and paid for SCUMBAGS.

Since WHEN should people have to spend everything that they have, JUST to try and maintain some semblance of health??

These people really need to be hung by the neck until almost dead. Then allowed to recover, so that they can be hung again.

This is utterly RIDICULOUS. Prescription drugs kill uncountable 10's of thousands every year.

Dietary supplements have ot been known to kill ANYBODY.



The tally?

Prescription drugs: MILLIONS of fatalities

Dietary supplements: ZERO known

Breaking News: FDA’s Sneak Attempt to Ban Another B Vitamin

You can’t live without this vitamin. But the FDA wants to reserve the natural form for monopoly drug companies, leaving only the synthetic form for supplements. Urgent Action Alert!

The FDA has just released a new 109-page guidance on the revision of nutrition and supplement labels. (You can read more about the implications of the new labeling rules in our other article this week.)

On page 69, the agency slipped in two little paragraphs that could risk the health of millions of people who desperately need folate. It’s a sneak attack so quiet and unobtrusive that few people will even realize it’s there.

According to the guidance, the word “folate” will be banned from the Supplement Fact labels—only the term “folic acid” will be allowed.

Folate is the naturally occurring form of the water-soluble vitamin B9. It is found in foods such as black-eyed peas, chickpeas and other beans, lentils, spinach, turnip greens, asparagus, avocado, and broccoli, but is also available as a supplement.

The human body needs folate to synthesize and repair its DNA. It’s especially important during the kind of rapid cell division and growth seen in infancy and pregnancy. Children and adults both require folate to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia among many other vital functions.
