Durbin, Waxman, DeGette want to control your health choices
No votes yet

The Big Three's latest moves target supplements while giving drugs and vaccines a free pass.  The FDA's century long fight to promote its "one chemical cause, one chemical cure" agenda to reduce and control your healtcare choices throws another punch.

 

Senator Dick Durbin and Congressman Henry Waxman are trying a new tactic in their attack on supplements after previous legislative failures. They have asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review adverse event report data—but only for supplements. The GAO operates at the call of Congress, so some action on this request is inevitable. Here is their letter.  

 

In a statement, Sen. Durbin said, “The FDA has the tools necessary to determine which supplements can cause and have caused severe health problems—they should use them effectively.”

 

This is nonsense. There is no evidence that legitimate supplements, those that comply with existing law, have caused severe health problems. What the FDA needs to do is not evaluate and approve each supplement, but rather enforce existing law.
