Oppose Heath Safety Threats by FDA &amp; Pharma  &quot;Dietary Supplement Labeling Act&quot;
FDA &amp; Pharma Want to Ban Our Supplements

Please prevent that the FDA bans our supplements! Why is it possible that the FDA knowingly allows Abbott to make people permanently disabled with Lupron, but wants to forbid vitamins? Greedy evil pharma like Abbott should not be allowed to intentionally make us sick and then forbid us to get/stay healthy with vitamins and supplements, recommended by our responsible doctors! 
Many people are outraged by the irresponsible FDA and dangerous, evil greedy pharma.
  
The FDA's draft guidance flies in the face of the original Congressional intent of the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act: The guidance turns what was meant to be a simple notification system for new dietary ingredients into a pre-approval scheme that Congress did not intend to create.     </content>

Congress recognized that dietary supplements are natural ingredients and therefore inherently safer than drugs and chemical food ingredients. It did not intend that the FDA would have the power to approve or reject dietary supplements. This act is violation of the law.

PHARMA WANTS US TO BE SICK 

Greedy big pharma want to prevent that we keep healthy with vitamins. They want us to be sick, try to make us dependent on their drugs and sell us their overpriced drugs. Many drugs are dangerous and ineffective, which kill and disable thousands of people. No person ever became disabled from a vitamin tablet. We, the people, do not want to be enslaved by pharma. Abbott, convicted criminals,  wrongfully gained billions of dollars by making our people, children, men and women permanently disabled with Lupron. Lupron is a dangerous and ineffective drug, a nightmare injection, that destroyed thousands of people's lives, killed and disabled.

And this is how we get big government. Humongous conglomerates use the power of regulation and bureaucracy and their own inherent unaccountability to further destroy competition and entrench themselves, growing their political and economic baronies without end. Anyone who fears the system encroaching in on themselves ought to look into just how much of our federal and state governments exist merely as an apparatus of an aristocratic feudal economy. 

Conservatives would make a moral case for people being able to take care of themselves using safer ingredients, progressives and social democrats would carry on at length about the scientific results of studies on supplements and their benefits to society, libertarians would make a case for conglomerates not impeding the market with the club of regulation to protect their own oligopoly. The only people that would approve of this are the 1% and their empire.     </content>
