Health Freedom Protection Act Tell Your Congressmen and Women to Co Sponsor the Health Freedom Protection Act, H.R. 2117  This extremely important bill re-introduced
by Rep. Ron Paul, that the National Health Federation has
previously supported, will stop the FDA & FTC longtime efforts of
censorship and restriction concerning access to supplements and
supplement information. Truthful supplement claims will no longer be
restricted. Please support Ron Paul, the NHF, and health freedom and
act on this bill.The Coalition to End FDA and FTC Censorship reports that Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) has reintroduced the Health Freedom Protection Act, H.R. 2117. The Food and Drug Administration prohibits with an absolute prior restraint every claim in the market that a nutrient treats a disease. It is, for example, illegal for you to be told in the market that prune juice treats constipation; that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate treat osteoarthritis; that omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of sudden death heart attack; or that folic acid reduces the risk of alzheimer's disease. Each of those claims is demonstrably true, yet prohibited by the FDA. Why does the FDA ban speech that can heal and save lives? It reserves to the pharmaceutical industry the right to make claims about therapeutic effects, ensuring that drug companies have a monopoly on the making of such claims and the economic rewards that come from them. The rights violation carries with it loss of health and sometimes life. It also causes consumers who might well find an ailment treatable with inexpensive and non-toxic dietary elements to perceive costly and side effect laden drugs as their only alternative. For example:
It is a lie that foods and elements in foods lack therapeutic effects. Many dietary ingredients have such effects. Telling the truth about those effects in the market can land you in jail. The Federal Trade Commission prosecutes parties who make advertising claims about the effects of foods and nutrients on the body. It does not limit those prosecutions to parties that actually deceive consumers. It also does not limit those prosecutions to products that fail to perform as advertised. The FTC has refused to define an objective standard of review that would constrain its power to those cases in which ads actually deceive. Instead, it exercises broad, unbridled discretion in charging and condemning parties as deceptive advertisers. Moreover, no one in this country should be held by the government to be a deceptive advertiser unless the government proves that consumers have in fact been deceived. H.R. 2117, the Health Freedom Protection Act, will end FDA and FTC censorship. Public support for the bill is critical. This is your chance to let Congress know you will not sit back while agencies of your federal government take your freedoms away! Contact your representatives NOW - either
on your own or HERE.
