FULL PHARMCO FRONTAL ASSAULT ...
  The Pharmaceutical Industry Pulls Out All Stop in An Attempt to Control the 
Competitive Threat


THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FRONT...
Dietary Supplements: A Framework for Evaluating Safety...


  "In this report, NAS has created so called "safety monographs" to encourage 
the FDA to yank Melatonin, Saw Palmetto Extract, DHEA, Shark Cartilage, 
Chromium Picolinate, and Chapparel off the market and to serve as "models" 
for yanking still MORE products off the shelves.
  "Its important to realize that the National Academy of Sciences is totally 
dominated by pharmaceutical interests, and they're not part of the government 
so they're not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. FDA often hires 
them to generate self serving "reports" for this very reason- they're like 
cockroaches scurrying around under cover of DARKNESS. Since NAS is not 
subject to FOIA, we can't get the raw data they use to generate any of their 
biased so called "reports."

  In their intro, NAS says "In line with these findings, members of the 
scientific and medical community have strongly advised that the regulatory 
mechanisms for monitoring the safety of dietary supplements as currently 
defined by DSHEA by revised. The contraints imposed upon the FDA with regard 
to insuring the absence of unreasonable risk associated with the use of 
dietary supplements make it difficult for the health of the American people 
to be adequately protected."

  Now that FDA has illegally yanked ephedra off the market, unless they're 
successfully challenged in court via one or both of the pending lawsuits 
against them over this ban, The FDA will start pulling a LOT of additional 
products off the shelves using the NAS "model" as their "basis". We can 
expect them to make all kinds of misextrapolations from animal data, and 
engage in every sort of biased "reasoning" including banning dietary 
supplements because they "interract dangerously" with GENUINELY DANGEROUS Rx 
drugs." - John Hammell, IAHF
