Senate to Consider Vitamin Ban

The World Trade Organization’s food and drug regulatory body is controlled by big
drug companies, and they are trying to use it to make all but the smallest doses of
vitamins illegal to purchase without a prescription worldwide. The Dietary
Supplement Safety Act of 2003, Senate Bill 722, would do just that in the US, by
effectively regulating out of existence the sale of almost all vitamin supplements
at higher potencies, except by prescription.

The bill has been introduced by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin, a strong advocate of
the WTO and sponsor of much pro-drug company legislation.

To help prevent this sellout of the American people to Big Drugs, write in protest
to Senate Bill 722 to your senators. Tell them what many of them don’t know: SB 722
is NOT TRUTHFUL in its intentions. It will open the door to devastatingly harsh
regulation. Senators Hillary Clinton of New York and Diane Feinstein of California
have also declared themselves in support of the bill. Find out how to contact your
senators here.


Supplement Group Found to Reduce Cancer Risk

At a time when the US Senate is considering making large-dose vitamins unavailable
to the American public except with prescriptions at drug prices, an extensive study
has revealed that a specific mega-dose supplement group can dramatically reduce
cancer risk.

A total of 13,000 men and women aged 30 to 65 took part in the study, which found
that regular use of a particular supplement group reduced cancer risk 37% in men and
31% in women. The supplement group is: 6mg of beta-carotene, 120mg of vitamin C,
90mg of vitamin E, 100 micrograms of selenium, and 20 milligrams of zinc.

Under SB 722, supplements at these dosages would be available only as prescription
drugs. To read more about the study click here.
