DSHEA & NUTRIENTS STILL UNDER ATTACK!
http://tinyurl.com/nofoodcontrol
This Action Item Updated To Include New Attacks!
Updated Foundation Counsel’s Blog Report:

Latest FDA Ploy:
Using the “Food Control Law”
to Ban Advanced Dietary Supplements!
Dr. Paul G. King, PhD, during a discussion with Dr. Rima Laibow and myself earlier this week , reminded us that the comment period for the FDA “new dietary ingredient” rule [promulgated not under DSHEA, but rather, under what we call the Food Control Act of 2010] ends October 5th. Since the new rule is rather complex, it may take a bit of time to analyze and fully respond. But that is just what we plan to do: analyze and expose. We’d like your participation in that process, so “stay tuned” as we develop a strategy to stop this latest assault on our Health and Food Freedoms.
Dr. Rima reminds us of what happened in 2007 when FDA tried to push through its infamous CAM Guidance. The FDA comment system collapsed after your 198,000 comments (698,000 tried to comment!) and the guidance was never finalized. That Action Item “went viral” and your Push Back prevailed.
My concern is that this new rule “codifies” the abuse of power that FDA got away with in the matter of pyradoxamine, B6, the vitamin it recently banned at the request of a drug company. Dr. King reminds me that, if that’s all the new rule did, it would be bad, but, he says, it does much, much more… and is much, much worse!
I have to agree with him; the FDA seeks to use the so-called FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 to trump the dietary supplement freedoms we won in 1994 with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). So we propose to facilitate a discussion among health and food freedom advocates about a pooling views and analyses to strengthen the response to the proposed rule. Our existing No Food Control Action Item has been updated to include this bad FDA regulation.
You never wavered in your (and our!) opposition to the Food Control Law and now we won’t waver in our opposition to its implementation!
Last week we reported on the Nutraingredients USA article that warned us about a new threat to Health and Food Freedom in Congress: the Durbin Dietary Supplement Labeling Bill – http://tinyurl.com/6bpuz7x
According to the article: “The bill would… require manufacturers to register dietary supplement products [with] the FDA, require labels to disclose the known risks of ingredients and display a mandatory warning if the product contains a dietary ingredient that may cause potentially serious adverse events. The bill also calls for labels to display the batch number, something already adopted as standard”
The article quotes leading dietary supplement lawyer Jonathan Emord, calling the bill a “classic example of regulatory overkill…. The FDA has full regulatory power to prevent the sale of adulterated and misbranded foods and dietary supplements… By introducing new powers when old ones are more than sufficient, [Durbin] invites abuses, including more burden and cost on an industry that is already overwhelmed by the burden and cost of the GMPs and, now, the [sic] Food Safety Modernization Act…”
POWER IS THE GOAL: “Sen Durbin said that his goal “is to take the decision about how a product will be regulated out of the hands of the manufacturer and put it in the hands of the FDA where it belongs.”
For More About Our Analysis of the Attacks on Nutrients please see Gen. Bert’s First Risk Assessment, updated: Threats to Health and Food Freedom – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=9145
Subsequent to this disturbing report, we learned of a new FDA dietary supplement regulation under the new Food Control Law, the infamous S.510 of the 111th Congress.
As Natural News reports: “…nearly all vitamin and supplement ingredients could soon be banned under the FDA’s new NDI [New Dietary Ingredient] rules because very few supplement ingredients can be conclusively shown to have been widely used BEFORE [the “grandfathering” date of] 1994… Through this clever trick with NDI rules, the FDA can now position itself as the gatekeeper for all supplement approvals. Far from merely being a requirement to “notify” the FDA of the use of new ingredients, NDI rules essentially subject supplements to approval from the FDA.

Similarly, the Natural Products Association has this to say:
We believe the draft guidance does not match Congress’s clear intent that products made from ingredients on the market prior to DSHEA should remain on the market. The FDA is asking for far more from the industry to prove that an ingredient was on the market before 1994 than most makers can probably produce. That was not the intent of DSHEA. These requirements will reduce ingredients meeting the established grandfathered status to a regrettably small number.

Our Action Item has been updated to help educate decision makers about the new NDI rule as well as Sen. Durbin’s bill: please contact your congress-critters daily about this the other health and food freedom issues that matter!

Crossing Your Personal Rubicon …
Why? Because you need the flexibility to make the hard decision to take yourself and your family out of the US when your own personal Rubicon has been passed.
You, and only you can decide if the Police State has advanced far enough for you to need to leave. You and only you can decide if mandatory vaccination, drugging, detainment, check points, “show me your papers-ism” has progressed far enough for you to need to leave.
You and only you can decide if owning your own body and mind are important enough to take them to a safe haven where the job is easier to accomplish and it is now time to leave.
You and only you can decide if the radiation, which will continue for, in practical terms, ever, and is incrementally increasing the danger of eating, breathing and drinking ANYTHING in the northern half of this planet is worth uprooting and it is now time for you to leave.
But when you do, you will need a passport and a return trip ticket to wherever you are going. [Hint: buy a refundable round trip ticket and then, when you get where you are going, refund the return trip half.]
Having lived with danger our entire lives… [are you old enough to remember “Duck and cover!”??] we have become numbed to the sharpening of danger and can only, perhaps, perceive the continuity of normality and the continuing background threat to which, like white noise, we become deaf.
Worried about your health and food freedom? So are we. That’s why we, Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III and Rima E. Laibow, MD, created the Natural Solutions Foundation and why we are inviting you to join in saving your right to dietary supplements, natural health choices and clean food. We are all facing the corporate take over of our freedom and our health. Isn’t it time… have you reached your personal Rubicon [the river in Italy that Julius Caesar had to cross to rule Rome]?
We are in Panama, in the temperate, beautiful, clean, safe and lush Highlands. The Valley of the Moon is a node, a coming together point, for people who get it and want to be where others do, too.
Here are the essential programs we have developed or are developing in connection with the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project and beyond:
1. The VotM itself, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, which will be a community with private houses, “condo” type housing, a BeyondOrganic™ Farm and Farm School providing a full food supply of super clean food, a Natural Medicine and Health Center, a Hotel and Seminar Center as well as a fully equipped Performing Arts Center. Participation in this unique and dynamic project comes in several flavors. Please visit www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org for more information.
The Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project is boots on the ground, change the world AND get out of Dodge, all at the same time!
2. The NSF Green Fund, www.NSFGreenFund.org, solves several problems at once: you want your money out of the US in a good investment that gives you a decent ROI and you want that money to support what you believe in.
Let’s face it: money is the choke point for people like us: we want to make things right on a global basis and we know how to, but the other side has more money than God (their friends print it, after all) and they have all the propaganda organs.
We thought long and hard about that and when we were offered the opportunity to become the action arm of a professionally managed Fund dedicated to funding our projects here in Panama, in the US, and in the rest of the world, we said, resoundingly, YES!!!
The NSF Green Fund opened on July 1 and we are eager to offer special participation to NSF supporters. Click here, www.NSFGreenFund.org, to learn more and fill out your non-binding application.
Your money, expatriated after January 1, 2012, will be subject to a 30% excise tax! That is why we are urging you to expatriate it before it is at least 30% too late.
3. You want to be a part of what the Natural Solutions Foundation is doing but you have to earn a living. You want to get out of Dodge, but you have to earn a living wherever you go. You have skills that you want to use because you love doing that and you want to earn a living and you want to get out of Dodge. Right! Then you are in the situation of lots of people.
The Natural Solutions Foundation projects are huge. They have enormous potential to make things right and they require a wide variety of skills, abilities and talents. That is why we created the Joint Venture structure. If you and the Foundation decide to work together on whatever it is, you and we sign a JV agreement. You become the Managing Partner and own 49% of the JV. The Foundation is the other partner and owns 51% of the JV. You and the Foundation are looking to make money. You and the Foundation are doing things that the Foundation and you both believe in and you and the Foundation bring your talents, connections and passion together.
So, if you are ready to get out of Dodge, or get your money out of Dodge, then you need to talk to us.
If you are not, then it becomes doubly important for you to fight the fight where you live, heavy and hard, because you are in deep trouble unless – until – we win, and win big, on each battle.
So the question is, how deep and turbulent is the Rubicon YOU are waiting to cross?

May 11, 2011 UPDATE from Gen. Bert.
We are watching It. We are all watching It. Closely. The problem is that the definition of “It” is changing rapidly.
When the Natural Solutions Foundation was created in 2004, It was our access to clean, unadulterated food, clearly labeled as such, our right to access high potency supplements and our right to information about food and food components.
It was the Globalist Eugenocidal Agenda for depopulation carried out through the degradation of the world’s food supply (Enter Codex along with Big Agribuz, Big Chema and Big Biotech) and dangerous, damaging medications (Hello, Big Pharma and Big Medica!) and vaccines. See Dr. Rima’s extraordinary video about the Eugenicidal Agenda here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gWmVtn5JsA&feature=player_embedded.
By 2009 It was expanding to include fake pandemics to be triggered by weaponized and deadly vaccines.
By 2010 It was the impending Federal Food Control law and the criminalization of unapproved speech about food and food components… the Nation State controlling nutrients and medicine.
It has been, for decades, the increasing regulatory Fascism and hostility toward health freedom, natural options and natural information.
It was the increasing bed partnership of Big Business and Big Government until, finally, we have reached the state Mussolini defined as “Fascism” — the merger of the corporate and the state interests and structures. The problem was, of course, that Il Duce thought that it was a good thing, and so, apparently, does the current US Government.
But now It has morphed, changed, defined itself anew. In addition to those threats and assaults, and, sadly, they are all still with us – and on Steroids compared to where they were when Dr. Rima and I shut down our practice of drug free medicine and psychiatry to take on this work. Now there are bigger, more dangerous and far more hidden Its that threaten the sanctity of the Genomes of Life on Earth… the threat of Genomicide and the threats to the lives and health of each of us… You know the first of those threats, the big It of Genetically Modified Organisms – GMOs – which have the ability to infest the very DNA of our bodies. But now there is an even more immediate threat to the Genome.
Ionizing Radiation
The Japanese government has announced official censorship to make sure that nothing it does not want you to hear is audible. In other words, their official balsamic lies, their assurances that “there is no danger to human health” — that people should not, and must not know that there is a continuing and, daily, nightly, minute by minute-ly, escalating danger to you and me and future generations, to life on this planet. What they have admitted is that it will take 6 to 9 months to eventually get the disaster under control… though with ground water contamination, I believe that to be a false hope.
And so the bureaucracy, corporate and government, lie to protect their positions. Examples: the EPA increasing the “standards” for radioactive I131 in milk and drinking water and then ending their program to monitor these clear and present dangers; the FDA declaring that it will not monitor radiation in Pacific ocean fish reaching the West Coast (and all US) markets… sticking our collective head in the sand does not make It go away. The cover-ups just make the reckoning that much more horrendous.
Do you believe that “ignorance is bliss”? That the Big Lie is better than the Truth? Quite the contrary. Thinking people want to know the Truth so they can prepare. In this situation , “Be Prepared” is good policy!
Arnie Gunderson, for example, of Fairewinds Associates, whose videos we post regularly, and who will be our guest on the Dr. Rima Reports on May 8, 2011, lets the numbers speak for themselves. Dr. Lauren Motet lets the numbers speak for themselves. So do all of the other truth tellers discussing radiation. [Dr. Rima Reports is on every Sunday morning, 10 to 1 Eastern, and you can hear it and join the chat here: www.HealthFreedomPortal.org.
The plain and simple truth is that whether the Canadian and US governments take their radiation detectors off line or not; whether or not the FDA/EPA cabal changes the level of “safe” contamination; whether or not the Canadian government decides to shit down their radiation monitors around Vancouver and move them inland to Kamloops so that the workers and equipment would not be contaminated by high levels or radiatin (!); whether or not the Japanese government engages in the requisite “no hazard to health” cover-up, It is now whether or not where you live is habitable, whether your food is safe or not, whether your milk, drinking water, bathing water, food processing water,candy, flour, drugs,coffee, veggies, baby food, organic products, food from your own gardens and so on are contaminated or not, and to what degree if they are.
What measures are you taking, can you take, can the government take “for” you, should you take, to prevent as much damage as you can from this disastrous contamination which WILL go on and on and on and on, regardless of any censorship? Please see Dr. Rima’s web page on Natural Solutions to Radiation Exposure at http://tinyurl.com/radprotect for some suggestions and important resources.
And what are you, your neighbors, your government and your church and other NGOs doing to prevent the continued spread of the two most dangerous technologies on the planet: nuclear power and genetic manipulation, the two technologies which can, and inevitably WILL, end life on this planet unless we, as individuals and as a mass movement, say NO MORE GENOMICIDE!
No more nuclear power, not more GMOs. Not here, not in MY backyard. Because what Fukushima teaches us is that “It” IS ALL our back yard.
My genes, your genes, my garden, your garden, my thyroid, your thyroid, my back yard, your backyard, that is, in essence It!
Do we survive? Do we allow ourselves through apathy, ignorance and manipulation, to be so separated from our own brith right of survival and health that we allow these madmen to kill our planet?
You decide.
You decide whether you become an advocate for life or a passive recipient of death.
You decide whether you take this Action Item to ban Nuclear Power and GMOs forever or whether you get sicker and sicker and sicker until … That’s IT! Please help take this Action Item viral; share with all your contacts!

A special message from General Bert:

Threats to health and Food Freedom – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=9145
Genomicide Warning: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=9217If you read the two World Risk Assessments that we posted over the past couple weeks you know that the various issues we’ve been discussing these past years are all coming together in an attack at the very heart of what it means to be human; we are facing the threat of Genomicide.
What is Genomicide? It is violations of the Precautionary Principle that allow novel technologies which have the capacity to alter or even destroy the natural genetic diversity and balance of the planet. It is the use of technologies, primarily such as [1] GMO (genetically modified organisms), [2] gene-threatening, uninsurable Nuclear Power Generation (NPG), and [3] the commercial use of DNA-mutating toxins, including the uninsurable risk of toxic vaccination. All of these technologies violate that basic Principle that no one may introduce novel, potentially dangerous items into the marketplace without satisfying strict standards of care.
This Principle is violated as a regular policy by various government agencies, world-wide. For example, as documented by Mike Adams in Natural News (see: http://www.naturalnews.com/032279_Big_Pharma_fraud.html ) FDA continues to approve dangerous drugs without serious safety testing, while promoting the use of dangerous vaccines that increase infant mortality (see: http://www.naturalnews.com/032306_vaccines_infant_mortality.html ). Tragically, death is the wages of those forced to work with GMO crops (see: http://www.naturalnews.com/032334_GM_crops_death.html ).
Truly no responsible person can any longer pretend lack of knowledge of the threats to our genome presented by each of these technologies, when confronted by pervasive evidence of this clear and present danger to the very genetic sanctity of life on this planet.
What can you do? Stay alert! Remain vigilant! Do not panic. You have important sources of information, like these Action eAlerts. Together we can remember Preparedness is Primary.
Of course, we need you to Take Action to PUSH BACK against these threats. We try to make that easier for you by providing Actions you can take with a few clicks of your computer mouse. Dr. Rima also recommends natural solutions to these threats. They are worth considering if you want to help your self and your family survive very trying times.

In return we ask you to patronize the products and services we’ve sourced. With the power of your dollars, you will help yourself, family, and our efforts to make a difference.

What can we do?
In order to bring this matter forward, by filing the Motion to Reconsider and then, if that is rejected, a full appeal, we need to raise needed legal expense funds. None of the companies that make the NonMedical Devices Formerly Known as Holistic Ear Candles (FDA says they cannot be called anything that uses the words “ear” or “candle” or “holistic”) is a big company; all are small family businesses. While they cannot afford the costs of fighting the Federal Government in its own courts, they can offer you a gift of 6 Ear Candles (our use of the term “Ear Candles” herein should be considered short-hand for said NonMedical Devices Formerly Known as Holistic Ear Candles). So PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY!
Our prior posting on the case: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=5210
JUDGE THROWS EAR CANDLE CASE OUT OF COURT:
“TARGET EAR CANDLE COMPANIES HAVE NO STANDING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST BEING PUT OUT OF BUSINESS”
Our employee, the FDA is, once again, wreaking havoc and terror on you and me – on We the People!
Having declared Ear Candles a Medical Device, the Fraud and Death Administration then stated that under no circumstances could Ear Candles ever be APPROVED as a Medical Device and issued “Cease and Desist” orders against the manufacture or sale of Ear Candles.
Whether or not you use Ear Candles, it is clear that this assault on a safe, time-honored and danger-free modality is the first in a new campaign of terror –yes, terror – against the manufacturers, marketers and consumers of anything but dangerous, expensive and easily replaced pharmaceuticals.
FDA is vigorously attacking Ear Candle Manufacturers while, for example, supporting Pfizer and reversing the FDA position on antibiotics: Pfizer new vaccine “for” ear infections killed 4 more children in Japan shortly before the Tsunami. AMA has reversed their long held, science based position against antibiotics in ear infections and now are claiming that antibiotics “cure” ear infections despite the lack of clinical evidence to suggest that it is true. The press, however, is not touting this “breakthrough”.
Although claims are sharply prohibited by FDA in this war of terror, the truth as Dr. Laibow and other holistic practitioners know from their clinical experience is that Ear Candles have a significant efficacy rate in ear infections. None of the companies adopt this position, of course.
And the Supreme Court tells us, in the leading case of Thompson vs Western States (535 U.S. 357, 2002) that –
“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last – not first – resort … We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information… Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring … a warning that the [device] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown.”
This nonmedical device example is just one in a long, long line of shameful distortions and persecutions of natural products health and wellness manufacturers and those who disseminate and purvey the information about what they are and how to work with them. Because Ear Candles are less known than other modalities like, for example, Chelation therapy or Vitamin C drips for treatment of cancer, we believe that the FDA sees them as a good place to start this new assault. The strategy is to declare them untested medical devices and then prevent them from being made or sold through Cease and Desist orders without taking a final action. It is this lack of final action which the Judge says prevents the companies from having standing to defend themselves.
We believe that if we do not file a successful appeal, we, the health freedom community, will see a blizzard of these Cease and Desist orders, none of them final action, but all of them definitive: “Keep making the product, or selling it, and go to jail.”
We have no choice but to fight as long as it takes to stop the FDA. Ear Candles are the tip of the iceberg: fighting and winning the Ear Candle issue is identical to fighting and winning a major portion of the health freedom battle: the right to decide what methods you use to gain and maintain health.
Please Donate Here to fund the appeal process which we must begin within the next couple weeks.
For every 25 dollars donated, we will send you 6 free ear candles from your preferred vendor:
Harmony Cone Ear Candles
Beck Ear Candles
Lees Ear Candles
Coning Works
So Fine Distributor
Please indicate in the “comments” section of the donation page the vendor from whom you would like to receive your “thank you” gift of 6 Ear Candles.
Thank you in advance for your donation to help win this peaceful health freedom revolution!

We know it’s really hard out in America right now. We know you are working hard just to make ends meet. We know how all your expenses have been going up; we buy groceries too. Frankly, there is no one else to whom we can turn for the resources to make a difference. So it is up to you.
How important is the fight? What do you care about some holistic device?
What we can tell you is, this FDA “cease and desist” order to these companies sets a precedent, a dangerous one… But, we can Push Back through the courts and seek redress of grievances that can protect all of our access to natural means to achieve and maintain health.
Protest this gross violation of civil rights:
