There are strong
forces that are working hard to have all
nutritional products banned, or caused to be
purchased by prescription. They want all
therapeutic-strength vitamins and supplements
banned as well as extra-strength minerals,
enzymes, herbal formulations, and certain natural
remedies -- even many health foods!
They DON'T want you to
know ...
Are you surprised that the
pharmaceutical industry has been working hard to
confuse you about healing power of natural
substances such as vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
In the past few years, however, study after study
have been confirming that herbs and nutritional
supplements work! It is becoming more and more
difficult to keep this good news from the general
public.
Over the past 30 years, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) set out to literally destroy
the vitamin and nutritional supplement industry.
They have even raided health food stores and the
offices of alternative healers and physicians.
They have launched a campaign of harassment and
published misinformation in an effort to damage
vitamin manufacturers and retailers.
Despite their efforts, the public is still
getting the message about natural healing. The 'Baby-Boomer'
generation is now reaching retirement age at a
rate of 10,000+ per day, and they are starting to
focus on health and fitness. We are seeing an
incredible surge in this industry that looks like
it will be impossible to stop!
Unfortunately for us, deaths resulting from adverse
reactions to prescription drugs have exceeded
140,000 annually. That's many times greater
than the number of all auto fatalities! And look
at the debates we hear about the importance of
seat belts, and air bags!
More than 30% of all Americans visit
alternative health care providers (chiropractors,
herbalists, nutritional doctors, and other
natural healers). This is more than all
conventional physicians combined! An estimated 60
million Americans take vitamins, minerals and
other dietary supplements daily. Another 100
million use them occasionally.
Nutritional supplements sales have reached
over $4 BILLION annually and growing! Big money,
and why it is a big threat to
the American pharmaceutical industry. They stand
to lose lots of potential sales if people
continue to turn to these safer, more effective
health alternatives.

Ibuprofen
has these possible side effects: Fluid retention,
discolored urine, skin rash, hives, itching,
headache, dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in
ears, depression, mouth sores, indigestion,
nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, severe
skin reactions, peptic ulcers, liver damage,
kidney damage, menstruation irregularities, male
breast enlargement and tenderness, mild anemia,
suppressed bone marrow.
How about the latest fat
substitute to hit the market, Olestra.
One side effect has been cutely named Rectal
Leakage. See the report 'Olestra
and Other Fat Substitutes'. that the FDA has
on the Internet.
Thinking about what side effects these FDA
approved substances will have on you?
Isn't it beginning to look like the FDA approved
'cure' is worse than the 'ailment'?
The FDA routinely approves products for sale that
are known to cause adverse side effects,
sometimes even death.
The nutritional supplement industry is one of
the SAFEST industries in the world. Virtually, no
one has died from nutritional supplements, even
when they have been taken inappropriately. So why
are the FDA and the drug industry so intent on
banning your vitamins and health foods?
Healthier People Buy Fewer
Drugs And Medicines
Drug companies can't make money if people
don't get sick, or if sick people get better from
a $30 bottle of vitamins instead of a $95
prescription. (In fact, the worse you feel, the
MORE they profit.) They are in the 'sickness
business' and don't care about disease prevention
or good health.
