November 23, 2008 - Sunday

Robert L. Gibbs (b. March 29, 1971) is an American political consultant. Gibbs is the communications director for U.S. Senator Barack Obama and Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Gibbs, who has worked with Obama since 2004, was press secretary of John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign and has previously specialized in Senate campaigns, having served as communications director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and for four individual Senate campaigns, including those of Obama in 2004 and Fritz Hollings in 1998. Gibbs was also the press secretary of Representative Bob Etheridge. Gibbs received criticism in 2007 for his connection with a 527 political group which launched attack ads against presidential candidate Howard Dean during the 2004 presidential election. In November 2008, Gibbs was announced as the press secretary of the Obama administration.

Emergency - FDA & USDA Attacking Foods and Supplements

BUSH ADMINISTRATION USING FDA, both domestically and through Codex, has been trying to make information about the relationship of food and food components to health forbidden speech. That includes supplements, of course.

As if that were not bad enough, they have come up with another ploy to make it illegal to ship supplements across state lines IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY PUBLISHED HEALTH STUDIES ABOUT ANY INGREDIENT!

And we have only 5 days to stop them.

This is a diabolical, but brilliant, drug company-inspired double whammy:

Whammy Number 1 : Under proposed FDA/Codex rules you cannot tell anyone about what nutrients and supplement can do for them because they are, say the bureaucrats, not “supported” in the scientific literature (despite the science called “Biochemistry” and millions of peer-reviewed journal articles)

Whammy Number 2 : You won’t be able to get supplements if what they can do for you has ever been documented in the scientific literature, as part of any medical study.

It’s Actually Even Worse Than That

In July, 2007, The FDA Amendments Act of 2007, Public Law 110-85, was adopted by the US. Congress. With your support, Natural Solutions Foundation Health Freedom advocates fought hard to convinced Senator Harkin (R-IL) to force inclusion of language exempting dietary supplements from the provisions in the law. That protective language is the law of the United States of America, enacted as section 1011, the DSHEA Product Rule of Construction.

The failed and corrupt FDA, however, in its relentless crusade to eliminate the rights of Americans to learn about or use the most significant economic competitor to pharmaceutical drugs has no respect for the law and no interest in either your freedom or your health. They are currently promulgating regulations which would make it illegal to ship supplements across state lines. This would accomplish both definitions of “Nutricide” as I have lectured and written about for years:

Nu tri cide (3 syllables):

1. The death of the body of knowledge about the relationship between health and nutrition

2. The death of large populations through the manipulation of the food [and supplement] supply.

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED NOW

If you value

* Your access to supplements and nutrients
* Your health
* Your freedom to determine what goes into your body
* Your First Amendment Rights

ACT NOW !
