Before I post my weekly e-column ( I quess one could call it that)against Senate Bill 722, I would like to do a simple poll, for which really only needs the one-line brain dead comments ala. Marc Roberts March 4,[email protected] Has anyone in this group done anything against SB 722,like writing or e-mailing senator. Or now doing likewise for HR 3377 and Congress members? Perhaps the best motto against S.B 722 would be: "If it ain't broke don't fix it." For with only an average of 116 hospitalizations annually for supplement adverse reactions, there is no where else to go but get worse. Illinois Senator Durbin wants to fix something that isn't broke. While ABC News reported monday night that 6.2 million Americans are now so addicted to prescriptions drugs that hospitalization is the only treatment to avoid death. SB 722 would expose supplements to the same performence records that precription drugs have achieved. So, in order to simplify this primary data resarch this is the only place I am going to post this. I don't want to have to spend a bazillion hours going to a bazillion groups to see what value The Net is actually having in establishing itself as a functional medium. So, what has anyone done about SB 722 or HR 3377? I am going to check once at 7:00 p.m. EST Wednesday then once daily. Until there is a Marc Roberts March 10,[email protected] posting stupid replies which have no sign of intelligent life.

Sadly, you did not want to engage in a disucssioon of the bill, not provide a precise reference where the bill would do what you claimed.

Thanks. > Has anyone in this group done anything against SB 722,like writing or e-mailing senator. To the contrary, I emailed my congresscritters and told them what a wonderful idea this bill is.

Well, we agree. The system is broke, and it needs to be fixed. For with only an average of 116 hospitalizations > annually for supplement adverse reactions, there is no where else to go but get worse. We know that this is not true, as the FDA found far more of them when they had to pull teeth on the question of the danger of Ephedra. why do you feel the need to make things up? > Illinois Senator Durbin wants to fix something that isn't broke. But it is broke, as I pointed out.

I looked for that report but could not find it. Can you post a URL? > SB 722 would expose supplements to the same performence records that precription drugs have > achieved. Outstanding! Same regulations. What a great idea. Ihave advocated a single standard for years. However, SB 722 does not do such a thing.

For with only an >average of 116 hospitalizations annually for supplement adverse reactions, there is no where else >to go but get worse. Nobody knows how many such adverse reactions there are. That's the point. "An average of 116." That sounds so scientific. Too bad it's gibberish. >SB 722 would expose supplements to the same performence records that precription drugs have >achieved. Supplements must be far more dangerous than I'd ever thought, if that's true.

Once again [email protected] etc.,[email protected] displays virtually no intelligence. I have posted many articles equal in word count to a magazine article. I have lost track (somewhere around 20) of the many aspects I have explored of how tragic SB 722 would be. One has to go beyond the exact wording of a bill and understand the applications of piece of legislation. That requires critical thinking and maybe a Degree in Public Administration which I am only a few college classes from. There is nothing to fix about the entire supplement industry. No industry anywhere has such surreal statistics of success and "non-bad things?" You have a better chance of winning a Mega Million dollar lottery then getting one of the ADVERSE REACTION EVENTS that SB 722 and HR 3377 will use to eliminate entire prouduct lines. I would suggest if [email protected](ad nasuem),[email protected] wants to post comments to destroy apects of society, he should focus on one or two subjects and specialize in them and not try to post stuff about everything. I have postponed many of my other crusades (HIV TESTING, Replacing Homeless welfare with employment, etc.) to specialize on SB 722, HR 3377. AS for the second reply. NO I am not being paid by anyone to do this. But, if any journalistic opportunities were to present itself in the form of maybe a syndicated activist column in the mainstream media, I would certainly take it. As for the future of SB 722, there is good news. But, I want to confirm everything before I provide any updated information, and also check out copyright laws and ethics about an article I found. So, [email protected],etc(ad naseum,[email protected] Either become a productive member of the Internet, or find something else to do except post insane comments all the time on The Net.

Bbbbbuuuttttt Stevie, youhave never shown exactly how SB 722 will do what you claim...when I read it, all I found was that the manufacturers of the chemicals called "supplements" are required to report any adverse they get notice of to the FDA. What is so wrong about this? Do you favor allowing these chemcialmanufacturers to cover-up what they do? > One has to go beyond the exact wording of a bill and understand the applications of piece of > legislation.

I see..so you think you know it all...sad that...the purpose of a good education is to first learn how toquestion, and then how to find answers....you seem to have all the answers.... > There is nothing to fix about the entire supplement industry.

So you say...but the FDA has shown otherwise with regrad tojust one chemical..i.e. Ephedra. > I would suggest if [email protected](ad nasuem),[email protected] wants to post comments to > destroy apects of society, he should focus on one or two subjects and specialize in them and not > try to post stuff about everything.
