Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Latest socialist plan: food control




The Congress has been trying for years to pass the Codex Alimentarius and it looks like we will have it come in in piecemeal.  Its a UN/European socialist gambit to control your intake. Apparently, the drug companies want control of you vitamins and minerals. 


Senator McCain is for this because athletes took steroids.  What a moron. I am sure glad he concerns himself with dopey athletes. You see, the government knows best. Once they are in control of medicine, education, and food, then we will be in nirvana.


I know I will be buying a few years worth of some supplements if this comes to pass.


A few years ago, I was prescribed medical grade rat poison and had to have blood tests every few weeks at the medical mill to makes sure some maginc number was reached. After six weeks, they never reached it.  


After this absurd drill, which I was paying for, I started taking nattokinase and aspirin, a baby one. Still here and no heart problems caused by Warfarin's destruction of vitamin K. Of course, vitamin K will be controlled, prescribed, and very expensive if this bill becomes law. Or, you could just eat spinach.


By the way, this bill is not about drugs, its about food. The FDA and drub companies have been furious about not controlling our food. 


All this may sound harmless, but I hope we have all learned about incrementalism.





Protect Access to Dietary Supplements
Tell the Senate to Oppose S. 3002

Dear AAPS Action Team,

Call your Senators (Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or click here to find their direct numbers) and tell them to oppose Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Byron Dorgan's (D-ND) bill  S. 3002  "Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010" which would repeal key section of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).  DSHEA has protected consumers access to dietary supplements and limited the FDA's power until now. If  S. 3002  passes it would;
  • require all supplements to be approved by the Federal government through a new and unspecified process. Only those ingredients that are on the approved dietary ingredient list can be sold.
  • any business or operation engaged in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, or distributing dietary supplements would have to register with the Federal government.
  • new dietary supplements would have to go through a difficult and expensive process to be approved for use. Instead of considered safe and proven unsafe by the FDA, they will be considered unsafe by the FDA and need to be proven safe by the manufacturers.
The FDA already has the legal authority it needs to remove dietary supplements from the market that it deems dangerous and its against the law already for dietary supplement manufactures to sell drug tainted supplements.  Therefore the arguments used to support the bill are not supportable by the facts.
Tell your Senators to support consumers access to dietary supplements by not cosponsoring  the bill S. 3002  "Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010."    

Thank you,
