Dear Subscriber,

On March 30th we published an article about the sudden push by the FDA to label homeopathic remedies as dangerous.

FDA Pushing To Regulate Homeopathy Out of Existence?

In response to this, an organization called Downsize DC is taking action to do two things...

* Stop the FDA from prohibiting homeopathy

* Urge Congress to make the FDA advisory rather than mandatory

We’re copying you on the message Downsize DC is sending to its supporters. We urge you to read it and then use the link below to go to Downsize DC’s quick-and-easy Educate the Powerful System to issue the same instructions to your Congressional reps.



Here’s the Downsize DC message...

----------

Please be aware...

The FDA is threatening to crack down on homeopathy. Please take action to stop this oppression. https://downsizedc.org/etp/fda/

* Ask Congress to make the FDA advisory rather than mandatory.

* Use your personal comments to tell Congress to block the FDA from any action against homeopathy.

You can copy or edit the following letter for this purpose...

I believe personal conscience should rule in all things. This includes minority health care choices such as homeopathy. Sadly, within just the last few days, the FDA has rushed to...

* Publish a “safety alert” against homeopathy 19 http://1.usa.gov/1FgGuRf

* Called for hearings on April 20th. http://1.usa.gov/1FgGzV2

I want all my Congressional representatives to write the FDA a letter telling them to cancel the alert and the hearings.

I also want you to sponsor legislation that will make the FDA advisory rather than mandatory. Toward this end, please inform yourself that a 2009 survey of adverse events showed...

* 41 major adverse events with only one death for the entire spectrum of supplements including botanicals, amino acids, and vitamins

* More than 7,000 major adverse events for FDA approved drugs, including 496 deaths

This makes it very clear -- we do NOT need the FDA to protect us from things like supplements and homeopathy. What we really need is protection from the FDA and their Big Pharma cronies.

Please show that you represent me, and not the FDA-Big Pharma cartel.

* Send that letter I asked you for telling the FDA to back-off homeopathy

* Sponsor legislation making the FDA advisory rather than mandatory

I will be watching what you do.

--END OF SAMPLE LETTER TO CONGRESS--

FDA Scrutinizes Homeopathy - Urgent Action Required!

On the heels of a recent upswing in anti-homeopathy activity in Australia, Canada, and the UK, the FDA recently gave surprise notice of its intent to review the legal status of homeopathic products in the U.S. marketplace. The fact that this will be the first such FDA review in twenty-five years makes its timing more than a little suspicious. Read Now
