Could be the end of supps as we know it

Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"

I doubt it's the FDA that pushing for this. Hell, they didn't want to schedule steroids.

The real question is: who's behind it?

I would guess the pharmaceutical industry.

doctors just do what the drug companies want, i.e. push their drugs.

Have you heard of this bill Prince and if so who all plans on writing about it?

i read the article that the original poster linked us to.

Didn't the author seem a little extreme in the concept of "if i give a veggie drink to a friend that i could be arrested for drug distribution"

that seems outlandish to me. If that's the case, are they no longer going to allow us to grow veggies in the case that if we give to a friend that we are now considered "drug dealers?" and for that matter, would veggies be considered drug paraphanelia ? (sp?)

like i said, extreme. but that's what I gathered from the article. I just don't think the FDA is going to go knocking on every farmer's door to see if they are "distributing" or not.

They say they've been trying for awhile, I hope they don't.

Ginkgo biloba in Germany I believe is regulated as a medicine (topical anti-inflamatory usually).

Yeah, this is not new, I don't see it happening. I think they will continue to ban certain supps individually like they did with ephedra.

Prince, in your opinion, what are some that you see making their official exit?
