Dear XXX (Name inserted for each recipient)

Thanks for meeting with the Natural Solutions Foundation this past Thursday.

As explained in our meeting by “vitamin lawyer” Ralph Fucetola (who would serve as a wonderful witness in potential hearings), the vast majority of Americans want access to natural food, nutrients and therapies, and NSF hopes your Congressperson can ask HELP Chairman Kennedy to hold hearings on the smothering Guidelines from FDA, such as:

* requiring impossible scientific agreement on claims,
* threatening illegality to modalities by calling them untested CAM products,
* guaranteeing bankruptcy with untenable manufacturing practices,
* banning safe nutrients (such as ephedra and bioidentical hormones) by using unfair risk analyzes previously reserved for dangerous pharmaceuticals, and
* ignoring the role of pharmaceutical mixing when reviewing Adverse Event Reports for nutrients

These hearings need also to examine FDA’s 1995 “harmonization” requirements with the United Nation’s Codex Committee, which:

* uses WTO sanctions to impose its anti-natural therapies threats onto every nation on Earth, including the U.S.,
* follows the anti-natural therapies bias of FDA’s own representatives,
* has a Vitamin Committee that follows the European standard of treating natural nutrients as toxins, and limits dosage to 15% above the naturally occurring equivalent (a pathetically low standard, since the orange, in the case of Vitamin C, is grown in soil that is depleted by poisonous Big Agri chemicals, many of which were banned until reintroduced by Codex)
* requires irradiation of imported food,
* requires Monsanto’s growth hormone in imported milk
* prohibits Genetically Modified labeling, in case people think GMOs are risky

As you can see, the natural therapies preferred by a vast majority of Americans are threatened, and despite the congressional education by NSF of HELP and Energy and Commerce members going back to last Spring, no one in Congress yet has agreed to shine a light on FDA and Codex. May we count on your office to help move this process forward? If you do, please let us know and we’ll be glad to let our several hundred thousand member grassroots list know of your Leadership.
