The Washington Times featured an article on the passage of S.3546 today. As we expected, the article is "spun" heavily in favor of S.3546 . . . presenting it as an overwhelmingly positive bill while downplaying its catastrophic implications. I suppose we should be grateful that the article presents -- albeit briefly -- a dissenting voice that opposes S.3546. Regardless, it would be nice if the media chose to quote a supplement industry player that vehemently opposes S.3546. As it stands, the media is turning a blind eye to this bill's ramifications.

Nice article today by Ben Kage on the passage of S.3546. Definitely worth checking out . . .

On December 26th, President Bush signed S.3546, the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act, into law. With S.3546, Adverse Event Reporting will be implemented for dietary supplements in one year's time. The NHA thanks those of you who contacted elected officials in what was a truly massive effort against S.3546. We urge you to maintain this fight; any time our health freedom is threatened, we must fight . . . or our other freedoms will topple. Please continue visiting this blog for additional information on how to maintain the fight for health freedom.

S.3546, the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act, has passed. The Nutritional Health Alliance was unable to stop this deeply flawed bill, despite fighting it vehemently since its initial introduction. In one year, manufacturers of dietary supplements and OTC drugs will be forced to comply with non-causal adverse event reporting. What this means is, anyone who has a heart attack, stroke, or other adverse event will be able to blame their vitamins -- even if their vitamins are not responsible for the event.

Please check the NHA blog often to learn the latest on this disastrous bill's passing. When you read about S.3546 in the news, be aware of the media's distressing propensity for distorting events. Headlines may celebrate S.3546's passing as a Victory for Americans . . . though for the 500,000+ members of the NHA and countless additional health freedom fighters, S.3546 is a nightmare realized. The media may report that this bill was supported by major supplement industry groups and manufacturers. But what about the scores of supplement groups and manufacturers that fought against S.3546?

Early reports from the congressional record indicate that S.3546 passed under extremely dubious circumstances . . . suggesting that certain unscrupulous parties fixed this ultimate outcome through methods not even remotely related to democracy. Stay tuned . . .
