In recent issues, we have told you about Medicure Pharma’s so-called Citizens Petition to the FDA to ban any dietary supplements containing the natural and active form of vitamin B-6 called pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (P5P).

Did you know that: A drug company petitioned the FDA to ban a B vitamin in order to protect its own drug product?
The latest attack on bio-identical hormones comes from FDA staffers telling Congress that even though estriol is the weakest estrogen, it is being prescribed to women in “mega dosages.” They are saying that this makes it potentially harmful, which is why they are insisting on doctors having to file an IND (investigational new drug) application.
AAHF is pleased to announce that the Food and Drug Administration must now classify mercury fillings!

If you haven’t taken action yet, please do so now! We have also heard that the Wyeth is already gearing up to fight this tooth and nail. We have also learned that Wyeth is coordinating women’s groups to write letters in opposition of the resolution. We need you to help spread the word and fight Big Pharma and their controlling ties to the FDA.
