Health freedom is under ****** in a new way. Illinois Senator Richard Durbin (D) is the sponsor of a new regulatory proposal -the Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022. This regulatory nightmare would give the pharmaceutical industry (FDA) more control over nutritional supplements, allowing the Food and **** Administration to regulate many out of existence.
Under the new legislation, nutritional, food-based and herbal supplements would be required to undergo the same pre-market approval process as ***** – limiting access and driving up the cost of some of the most basic nutrients and superfoods.
This legislation would allow the FDA to reclassify certain supplements as “new *****.” Supplement companies will not be able to afford millions of dollars in new regulatory fees that will be required to get their products approved by the FDA. If ******, this will drive small supplement manufacturers out of business, allowing the **** companies to continue buying them up. Right now, fourteen mega corporations – including the likes of Pfizer, Nestle and Bayer – control more than one hundred of the most popular supplements on the market. For example, Nestle Health Science has bought up Garden of Life, Vital Proteins, Wobenzym, Persona Nutrition, Nuun, Orthica, Pure Encapsulations, Douglas Laboratories, Genestra, Minami, AOV, Klean Athlete, Bountiful and its smaller brands Solgar, Osteo Bi-Flex, Puritan’s Pride, Ester-C and Sundown. Once the **** companies control these products, the formulas are often adulterated and manufactured with fillers and synthetic chemicals.
The Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022 has already been introduced to the US Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It is expected to become a part of the FDA’s Safety Landmark Advancements Act. Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D. president and CEO of the Natural Products Association, warned, “Last time I checked, dietary supplements are not *****, biologics or medical devices, so why Congress or anyone supporting nongermane legislation that will only add costs to consumers who are doing all they can to stay healthy is extremely troubling.”
This is just the tip of the spear. In 2007, Medicure Pharma manufactured a synthetic version of vitamin B6, for which they owned a **** patent. Medicure Pharma called the vitamin MC-1 and used it to treat inadequate ***** flow.
That year, Medicure Pharma called on the FDA to target any dietary supplement manufacturer that used vitamin B6 in their formula. Medicure Pharma argued that any product that contained pyridoxal 5?-phosphate was guilty of selling an “adulterated” product under the Federal Food, **** and Cosmetic Act, article 402(f). The **** company had already entered MC-1 into the **** bank and believed they had exclusive rights to manufacture the synthetic B6 vitamin – no competition allowed. However, various whole food vitamin manufacturers used the natural form of vitamin B6 (pyroxidine) and refused to acquiesce to the Medicure Pharma and the **** industry. When a pharmaceutical company turns a vitamin into a synthetic ****, they are able to jack up the price and market it as theirs.
Under the new regulatory proposal, **** companies would be able to legally get away with this fraud with just about any natural vitamin or phytochemical. This will inevitably destroy health food stores and push basic food-based supplements into the ********, where **** companies can control the price and limit access.
The Natural Products Association urges everyone to contact their representatives to oppose this threat to our health and freedom.

**** industry seeks to destroy NAC, B6, CBD and much more
Dr. Joseph Mercola warns that the Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022 would allow the **** industry to take over supplements and regulate them out of existence. In the past, he said, “the **** industry and the U.S. Food and **** Administration has tried to ban certain supplements, including vitamin B6 and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), by reclassifying them as new *****.” The latest hostile takeover of supplements would ensure that millions of Americans are unable to take care of their health in the most basic, fundamental ways.This legislation would allow the FDA to reclassify certain supplements as “new *****.” Supplement companies will not be able to afford millions of dollars in new regulatory fees that will be required to get their products approved by the FDA.

Big Pharma trying to control, distort, eliminate the very God-given substances that help the body heal
The FDA has been writing warning letters to supplement companies, telling them not to market N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) for any health issues. NAC has been used as a remedy to help the body synthesize glutathione, strengthening the immune system. The FDA threatened Amazon to stop selling NAC products after learning about the public’s interest in NAC for combating infections.This is just the tip of the spear.
