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.
