This is very serious, we have already started to see these draconian
measures being implemented in Europe. Don't let America, "the land
of the free" and the "defender of other nations' freedoms", lose our
health freedoms here at home.

Best Wishes,

URGENT HEALTH ALERT! DEADLINE FEBRUARY 1st

Dietary Supplements are Important to YOUR Health
Tell the FDA to RESPECT your HEALTH RIGHTS

Take Action Today! It only takes one minute to send an email
message to the FDA. Click here.

FDA is reviewing portions of DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health
Education Act. The agency may propose new and overly burdensome
regulations that could restrict your access to new dietary
ingredients and dietary supplements that were not on the market
prior to 1994 when DSHEA was passed.

Recall that 2.5 million concerned consumers contacted Congress
between 1992 and 1994 to support DSHEA and assure access to their
supplements. In response to the overwhelming consumer support,
Congress passed DSHEA and deliberately created new and different
regulations for dietary supplements. Congress enacted DSHEA to stop
the FDA from treating dietary supplements like food additives or
drugs and to protect consumer's rights to purchase these products.

We need to make our voices heard once again!
The deadline is February 1, 2005. Send YOUR Letter NOW

Tell the FDA to uphold DSHEA and your continued access to beneficial
dietary supplements today! Click here. At risk are many innovative
and particularly effective dietary supplements. FDA needs to hear
from you to preserve your hard-won access to the most innovative and
important health products. Any new guidelines that require onerous
food additive and drug like notifications, excessive testing and
documentation will make the introduction of new products
unnecessarily expensive.

This disincentive for companies to develop new health promoting
products will assuredly lead to the reduction of many products that
can benefit the health of Americans It could block consumer access
to validated new and innovative products -- for good. American
consumers have the right to these health enhancing products that are
also shown, in many cases, to reduce the staggering public health
burden, and reduce the cost of health care.

We only have a few short weeks to send a strong message. The FDA is
considering comments until February 1,2005. Make sure your voice is
heard.

Washington, DC needs to hear from at least 25,000 consumers who care
about their health rights. Urge the FDA to ensure that any new
guidelines for New Dietary Ingredients reflect the intent of
Congress and continue to provide complete access to the safe,
affordable and innovative dietary supplements you rely on for your
health.

Take action today!
