Website Changes, NO Update, Health Freedom Champion
We recently unveiled a new Complementary Prescriptions™ website that will ultimately make your search for the latest nutritional supplement research much easier. We appreciate your patience as we work on further refining the site. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any suggestions you may have.
I’m also excited about the positive responses I’ve been hearing about the new nitric oxide test strips and Neo40® Daily product. Research continues to pour in on the crucial role that NO plays in health. I invite you to read this month’s article about nitric oxide.
Finally, I want to inform you of another health freedom bill in Congress. Congressman Ron Paul, a long-time champion of health freedom, has introduced the Testimonial Free Speech Act, HR 2908. Currently, nutritional supplement companies are prohibited from using testimonials from customers who praise their products. This is a blatant violation of First Amendment rights. The new bill would allow nutritional supplement companies to disseminate testimonials “containing a consumer’s actual perception of the mitigative, preventive, or curative properties of any food or dietary supplement based on the consumer’s experience with that food or dietary supplement.”
A perpetual defender of supplement consumers’ rights, Ron Paul introduced two other bills into the current Congress. The Health Freedom Act, HR 2044, referred to the Subcommittee on Health, prohibits FDA from preventing a disease claim unless it is “false and misleading in a material respect.” It amends the Food Drug & Cosmetics Act to say, “A food or dietary supplement for which a claim is made…is not a drug solely because of such claim.”
Another Ron-Paul-sponsored bill, The Freedom of Health Speech Act, HR 2045, increases the burden of proof required by the FTC to prove false advertising cases against dietary supplement manufacturers and specifies that excerpted scientific studies will not be considered advertising.
We urge you to contact your Congressional representatives today and ask them to support all of these health-freedom-related bills.
