Major Expansion of FDA Powers will Target Dietary Supplements
A new attack against health freedom, drug safety, and dietary
supplements was launched last week by Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA)
with major support from Michael Enzi (R-WY). It is called the Food
and Drug Administration Revitalization Act (S1082). This legislation
was planned over the past few years working hand-in-glove with the
FDA's dysfunctional management and legal team - meaning this
legislation was written for the profits of Big Pharma and Big Biotech
AT THE EXPENSE OF SAFETY AND HUMAN HEALTH.
S1082 is a Trojan Horse bill that pretends to address safety issues.
Unbelievably, the bill turns the FDA into a drug development company
that will expose Americans to new and dangerous biological drugs that
have little testing to prove safety or effectiveness. And to top it
off, the bill gives broad new regulatory powers to the FDA that can be
used to frivolously attack dietary supplements and forward the FDA
management's anti-American globalization agenda.
On April 18, 2007, S1082 was approved by the HELP committee (which
Kennedy and Enzi control) and now moves to the floor of the Senate.
In a slick move, Kennedy has attached his long-planned FDA/Big Pharma
"reform" measures to the renewal of PDUFA (Prescription Drug User Fee
Act). Current PDUFA law expires later this year and must be reviewed
by Congress. PDUFA allows Big Pharma to pay the FDA fees to speed the
approval of its drugs. The new Kennedy bill will increase these FDA
bribes to 380 million dollars in 2008, well over 50% of the FDA budget
for new drug approvals. This is like paying the mob for protection.
Kennedy, by replacing the existing PDUFA law with this new bill
(S1082), is ensuring that his twisted legislation is the one that will
be put before the Senate for a vote.

I think having 20 million illegals receiving free health care is more
damaging than some prescription and vitamin act. Try to keep focused
on the important stuff! Buy your stuff off the internet. The
government can't control that!
