Medical Forum / General / Alternative / April 2007FDA about to make water for dehydration illegal practice of medicine
That's just the tip of the iceberg...so to speak... Watch out! That water might get ya!! The head of the FDA has issued a ruling that could take effect in 60 days that would put every supplement company out of business. It would also make it illegal to buy supplements without a prescription. No one dies most years from a supplement overdose, according to the CDC. I guess the FDA wants to give us the same level of safety as they offer for drugs, where hundreds of thousands of people are killed or maimed each year. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55370 >The head of the FDA has issued a ruling that could take effect in 60 >days that would put every supplement company out of business.

The document they reference at http://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/06d-0480-gld0001.pdf is a clarification of current regulations. The regulations are not proposals, they have existed for some time. The explanatory document is proposed, not the regulations. A fear-mongering reporter quoting the comments of others who also can't read doesn't change facts. > >The head of the FDA has issued a ruling that could take effect in 60 > >days that would put every supplement company out of business.

Whether it is a current regulation or a clarification of said regulation, any regulation that says using water to cure dehydration and supplements for health is practicing medicine, is a mite bit draconian, doncha think? 'Cuz supplements are NOT drugs. Nor is water. The government should not be controlling our most basic rights. Taking care of our own health that the health of others is a basic right. >> >The head of the FDA has issued a ruling that could take effect in 60 >> >days that would put every supplement company out of business.

I just read the thing. There is nothing it it that even implies you'd need a prescription to buy supplements. Where DO you get these ideas? -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct. "HPV shots don't cause promiscuity.

Well, not unless a manufacturer or seller is dumb enough to claim they treat or cure disease, anyway. It's mostly a matter of semantics. >Where DO you get these ideas? It seems people who don't understand a simple "MAY happen IF certain criteria apply" sentence structure are the ones getting this whole issue exactly backwards. That, and those who tend to harbor conspiracy theories. Sad to see how many there are, netwide. >> I just read the thing.

It's mostly a matter of semantics. Wrong. Let me re-write: Well, not unless a manufacturer or seller is GREEDY enough to claim they treat or cure disease, anyway. It's mostly a matter of ECONOMICS. The manufacturers of these chemicals would love to make medical like claims to boost sales. >> Where DO you get these ideas? > > It seems people who don't understand a simple "MAY happen IF certain > criteria apply" sentence structure are the ones getting this whole > issue exactly backwards.
