"Using the false premise that supplements are unsafe, some members of Congress are working to pass more regulations on supplements that will further solidify Big Pharma’s monopoly over medicine. These efforts must be opposed."

Has there ever been a petition that was heeded?

I would suggest people starts making supplements. I make my own supplements they are all plant based organic, far superior than isolated supplements and cost almost nothing.

Yes, there have been petitions which were heeded, believe it or not.
If there were not, supplements would already have been shelved by Big Pharma.
They've been trying for several years now.
Not everyone has the time, the space or the inclination to make their own supplements.
It's nice to have a choice, and it's wise to prevent Big Pharma from getting everything they want.
How many people would have been ill or died without supplements?

We are starved of plant derived colloidal based vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

Many supplements are tablets, caplets, capsules and kalated, heavily regulated as it is by EU directives, Advertising standards, trading standards etc yet the majority of High Retailers are supplied with synthetic ingredients produced by big pharma labs - many of which manufacture the pesticides for agriculture.

The irony? If spraying our crops of fruits and veg with pesticides was good for us, why do the sprayers have to wear biohazard suits, boots, gloves and masks?

Problem > Reaction > Solution ??

There is a highly educational video I watched on the PAF of a presentation by a Dr Wallach where he explains WHY we get particular ailments and diseases and his argument - A VERY GOOD ONE I thought, was because we didnt supplement our diet enough with the correct AMOUNT (90) nutrients that the body needs which is severely lacking in our food and high street supplements.

I seem to recall somewhere that in wanting to control the food chain, a USA company had registered a patent for growing BASMATI rice (I think it was). And in wanting to control the supplement market is just another step and in attempting to eliminate good independent ethical growers, manufacturers and suppliers is a step too far.

Apparently, 900+ diseases were eliminated in animals who were given nutritional supplements. We need to supplement our diet with plant derived nutrients etc for optimal health as explained in this video. One thing for sure, his enthusiasm is infectious and he is very passionate.

Maybe someone has the PAF link to the other video about nutrition and supplements too ;) thanks

The news from yesterday about the congressman's wife dying from an herbal supplement doesn't bode well. I suspect it is part of the chipping away at the supplement market. Part of the agenda.

Here's What's Known About White Mulberry
— The herbal remedy has been linked to the death of a Congressman's wife

"White mulberry, or morus alba, an herbal supplement once touted by Dr. Oz as "the newest health sensation" was recently linked to the death of Lori McClintock, wife of Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.).

McClintock died on Dec. 15, 2021 at age 61 after complaining of an upset stomach the day before, a Sacramento County coroner's report noted. That report concluded that McClintock had died from dehydration due to gastroenteritis, caused by "adverse effects of white mulberry leaf ingestion."

Article continues at link. Be sure to load and read the comments after the article, by persons in the medical field. Very telling.

Well... it's unavoidable. People are indeed sometimes allergic to some health supplement out there. There always will be. It always has been. Big Pharma just wants you to stop taking supplements aka vitamins so it can overwhelm your body with illness. They know that supplements provide more nutrients than the food you eat, because of cross contamination material such as pesticides, animal antibiotics, etc. In one such situation, where natural folates from food are being stripped via pesticides... and you keep ingesting synthetic folic acid from manufactured food products. Synthetic folic acid, for example, does not fully metabolize in the blood stream; thus leaving behind unmetabolized particulates, which then allows viruses dependent on furin and it's cleavage system to propagate. In response to this illness, natural organic unconverted folate in it's supplemental form, thoroughly metabolizes, leaving nothing behind, thus not permitting furin dependent viruses to continue existing in your body.

Organic unconverted folate information, you can read this here:

Read all the comments to get a clear idea.

How dare big pharma try to take this wonderful thing away from us.
