Senator Durbin & the FDA Viciously Attack Dietary Supplements

Under the cover of the July 4th holiday, Senator Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) and the FDA launched an unprecedented and coordinated assault on the dietary supplement industry – in essence a direct attack on consumers who rely on dietary supplements to support their health. Without a massive consumer protest of this abhorrent abuse of regulatory power, consumers will be denied access to many dietary supplements they currently take. Furthermore, the cost of dietary supplements will skyrocket due to the unnecessary regulatory burden imposed upon supplement companies, ongoing legal wars, and reduced competition in the industry. While there are many political forces in play, it is clear that one of the main goals of this attack is to allow the pharmaceutical companies to take over the dietary supplement industry. It is very difficult for the typical consumer of dietary supplements to understand why extreme harassment of the dietary supplement industry is taking place. Such attacks are typically launched under the false cover of “consumer safety,” a pretense that plays well for sound bites and is without merit. Thus, it is of great importance to explain this current attack in the historical and political context in which it is occurring. It is of even greater importance that every consumer of dietary supplements takes immediate action to preserve their access to quality, cost effective dietary supplements. At the end of this article is a Take Action Now section that explains the steps you should take today. /images/uploads/flag_web.gif
