Will food become illegal?
|
|
|
|
On September 10th, 1991 a vote on H.R. 2597 is to be taken if this
|
|
becomes law the FDA will be able to tell you what is good for you to
|
|
eat, or what kind of substances (like Vitamins) that you will be
|
|
allowed to put INTO YOUR OWN BODY! If you don't do it their way FDA
|
|
could impose penalties of up to $1,000,000 for each act that an
|
|
individual does, fails to do, or should have known to do that act
|
|
violates a provision of the Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act.
|
|
|
|
Please call your Congressional Representatives immediately and tell
|
|
them that you do NOT support the loss of freedom that H.R. 2597
|
|
purports. Our ancestors died to make this "The Land of the Free" now
|
|
our own Congressional Representatives are trying to take that freedom
|
|
away!

From "BASIC CARE CENTRE" newsletter:
|
|
|
|
H.R. 2597 was introduced on June 7,1991 by Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-24-
|
|
CA), Chair of Health and The Environment Subcommittee of the House, and
|
|
by Rep. John D. Dingell (D-16-MI), Chair of the House Energy and
|
|
Commerce Committee.
|
|
|
|
This bill would empower the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with
|
|
enforcement actions that would deny individuals and companies any
|
|
rights before the courts, and would empower FDA to harass, bankrupt,
|
|
and file criminal charges against almost any U.S. citizen for almost
|
|
any reason!
|
|
|
|
FDA could impose penalties of up to One Million Dollars for each act
|
|
that an individual does, fails to do, or should have known to do that
|
|
[act] violates an provision of the Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act.
|
|
|
|
FDA would have the power to institute 24-hour electronic surveillance
|
|
of any healthcare businesses and demand that certain records be
|
|
maintained.
|
|
|
|
FDA would have the power to issue subpoenas to force testimony and the
|
|
production of records from any person in the health care industry at
|
|
any time, for any reason at all.
|
|
|
|
FDA would have the power to destroy an product imported from any other
|
|
country that it deems is "dangerous".
|
|
|
|
FDA could stop citizens from bringing into this country any
|
|
medications, products, or therapies they receive as part of health care
|
|
in Mexico, Europe, or any other part of the world.
|
|
|
|
In effect H.R. 2597 is the MOST repressive piece of legislation EVER
|
|
proposed in the history of the U.S. Congress, in our opinion. The
|
|
infamous Claud Pepper Bills of 1984 (H.R. 6049,6051,6060) that everyone
|
|
fought so valiantly to defeat, pale in comparison to this outrageous
|
|
attack on freedom of choice in health care.
|
|
|
|
H.R. 2597 is so outrageous that the following associations in
|
|
mainstream business have sent a letter of protest to Representative
|
|
Waxman about the bill's sweeping and unjustified scope: American
|
|
Bankers Association, Animal Health Institute, Association for Dressings
|
|
and Sauces, Association of Food Industries, Calorie Control Council,
|
|
Concord Grape Association, Cosmetic, Toiletry & Fragrance Association,
|
|
Grocery Manufactures of America, Health Industry Manufactures
|
|
Association, Preserve Association, National Assn. of Margarine
|
|
Manufacturers, National Electrical Manufactures Association, National
|
|
Food Processors Association, National Pasta Association, National Pecan
|
|
Shellers Association, American Frozen Food Institute, National Single
|
|
Service Food Association, Non prescription Drug Manufactures Assn.,
|
|
Pharmaceutical Manufactures Association, and The Vinegar Institute.
|
|
|
|
H.R. 2597 presents an opportunity, probably for the first time in
|
|
history, for everyone in business and industry who appreciates and
|
|
understands the issue of free choice and competition to join forces an
|
|
align themselves against oppression. As a consumer of health care
|
|
products and therapies, you must join with us in opposing H.R. 2597.
|
|
Please contact your Congressional Representatives immediately!
|
|
|
|
The following is the kind of information that will be stopped if H.R.
|
|
2597 becomes law:

|
|
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin tell us: They completed
|
|
studies which indicate that D-limonene, a component of the essential
|
|
oil found in all peels of the citrus family is useful in lowering the
|
|
incidence of chemically induced mammary tumors [breast cancer], it is
|
|
also effective in rate of regression of tumors. Other benefits are
|
|
potential cholesterol lowering effect.
|
|
|
|
Ganoderma (Reishi) Mushroom: Under Ref: 1 listed below studies with
|
|
mice show immune system enhancement, other studies demonstrated
|
|
significant anti-tumor activity of polysaccharides which had been
|
|
isolated from Ganoderma. Extract of Ganoderma lucidum had the ability
|
|
to stimulate a defense mechanism within the central nervous system,
|
|
correcting parasympathetic nerve function, while at the same time
|
|
improving heart function. There are many more documented studies
|
|
available if your are interested.
|
|
|
|
A team of British & Egyptian scientists find soybeans can block the
|
|
formation of nitrosamines, (cancer causing agent) more effectively than
|
|
Vitamin C, which is added to cured meats to prevent nitrosamines from
|
|
forming.
|
|
|
|
Shitake Mushroom: In a letter to the medical journal Lancet, Oct. 20,
|
|
1984 Robert Gallo, co-discoverer of the HIV virus, and the 2 French
|
|
researchers form the Pasteur Institutes stated that Lentinan, and
|
|
extract of the Shitake mushroom may prove to be effective in AIDS or
|
|
HIV carriers. In addition to its anti-tumor activity Lentinan has
|
|
demonstrated anti-viral properties, interferon inducing, natural killer
|
|
cell enhancer as well as enhancing the rate of phagocytosis.

Cassia Tora: Duke, J.A. & Ayensu, E.S. (1985) Medical Plants of China,
|
|
Vol. 1, p. 223: extracts of the seeds of Cassia Tora have been
|
|
discovered to possess specific anti-tumor properties, as well as a
|
|
natural blood pressure regulating property.
|
|
|
|
Pearl: Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine scientists
|
|
list a long list of effects they find to be associated with pearl:
|
|
anti-inflammatory properties, improvement in vision, removal of toxic
|
|
substances from body tissue, skin texture improvement and strengthening
|
|
of the bones.
|
|
|
|
The Shanghai College also reports on the benefits of Mulberry leaves,
|
|
they are high in protein, 15 essential amino acids, high in vitamin C,
|
|
A, D, & E. It was observed to decrease blood sugar levels as well as
|
|
blood pressure.

Medical plants of China book lists Lotus for anti-tumor activity, as
|
|
well as an aid to circulation.

From "BASIC CARE CENTRE" newsletter:
|
|
|
|
It is Labor Day weekend and I am writing perhaps my last newsletter on
|
|
scientific research on foods and how they affect our body.
|
|
|
|
I am appealing to everyone to please read [the above] and learn what
|
|
two pathetically misguided men (Waxman & Dingell) in our government are
|
|
trying to rob us of. This bill [HR2597] is to be voted on September
|
|
10th, 1991. Your help is desperately needed. After reading the
|
|
[above], please write or call your congressman & ask he vote against
|
|
this outrageous bill, then please call 5 others & ask they do the same,
|
|
then ask that they keep the chain going by 5 people calling 5 others
|
|
and in a very short time you will have been responsible for advising
|
|
thousands of people to let them know the 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th, & 14th
|
|
amendments will be violated.
|
|
|
|
Please take the time to ensure our rights, we pay these people and
|
|
surely they can find better ways to spend their time than persecute
|
|
some of the finest elements of society today. I have never heard of a
|
|
plane, train, bus or car accident cased by overdose of vitamins,
|
|
minerals or herbal formulas.

My questions is this: If the government allows things that are bad
|
|
for your health, like alcohol and tobacco, to be sold, then why are
|
|
they trying to stop us from getting the things that are good for us?
|
|
|
|
Are they trying to kill us all off??????

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND IN PRINT OR THROUGH YOUR NETWORKS!!

IT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION!!!
