This is irritating as can be! Here I received an email from John McCain today asking me if I would stand with him. I'll be writing him back as telling him, HELL NO!
My dad is a long term cancer survivor. Almost twenty years now have passed since he was given a death sentence. God blessed us all and left papa here to be with us for these extra years. He had surgery to remove the cancer filled bladder that another doc had botched on more than a year previously. His survival rate was given 5% back then. Grandma Jane the local health guru put him on a cleansing diet and noted the vitamin supplements he should take to get through this ordeal after the cancerous bladder was removed. Big Pharm wants to take that option of freedom of choice away from all of us. Piss on them and every legislator that is willing to go along with limiting freedom of choice!

If you had any doubt about whether John McCain is a limited government conservative, you may put that doubt to resthe is not. On February 3, 2010, John McCain introduced to the United States Senate the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010. Reflecting upon this poorly written bill, I am struck by the fact that John McCain apparently sees little difference between fissile material and dietary supplements. He is intent on regulating supplements as if they were radioactive enriched uranium rather than bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanicals that more often than not help people.
The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 enjoys support from the most liberal members of Congress. It is an invitation for the FDA to assume broad new powers and replicate here the system now operating in Europe over dietary supplements where dietary ingredients are presumed adulterated and unlawful to sell unless pre-approved by the government. In short, good bye free enterprise, good bye limited government, and hello more heavy handed, arbitrary and punitive FDA bias against the beleaguered dietary supplement industry...........

Why does this remind me of what happened in Europe with the EU food supplements directive? Because the same (pharmaceutical) forces are pushing for regulation ... now in the US. The purpose? Eliminate the competition of nutrient supplementation. It's bad for pharma's profits.

CDC finances bogus Italian study to support vaccine safety claims
by Child Health Safety
Documents disclosed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spends U.S. tax dollars in foreign countries on studies to claim the vaccination programs they promote for U.S. children are safe when they know the results of the studies will produce false and misleading negative results.
Just such a study recently published from Italy and funded by the CDC claims to show that the known neurotoxic mercury additive in vaccines, Thimerosal, is not harmful to children and the study has received wide-spread publicity ["Neuropsychological Performance 10 Years After Immunization in Infancy With Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines" Tozzi et al, Pediatrics 123:2:475-482].
Mercury is toxic in parts per billion. What the U.S. public is not being told is that the study was certain to be unable to detect any effect. The CDC internal email exchange obtained under FOIA shows that, to be able to detect any effect in children with the methods used, the dose applied by the age of three months had to be more than 50 millionths of a gram of mercury and more than 100 millionths of a gram by the age of six months.
