Drug Company Petition To Gag Weight Loss Supplement Producers
| ****** Action Alerts For this Campaign ****** | |
 | Don’t Let the FDA Ban Weight Loss Supplements! Following the withdrawal last week of a leading weight loss drug, the battle between natural approaches to weight loss and the drug companies is likely to intensify.

Tell the FDA you will not allow pharmaceutical companies to use the Citizen Petition process for their own financial gain. Read More>> |
