Youve Got To Be Kidding! said:Thanks to the new bill CAFTA
You will soon need a prescription for vitamins and dietary/health supllements.
I would not see it crazy for someone to hold the FBI/DEA/POLICE at gun point saying "You can have my Vitamin C if you pry it from my dead stiff hands". That is just my opinion.
Im asking this to be a poll because id like to here what if any reason there would be for this.
I think Uncle Sam needs some therapy and a BIGGER Uncle to keep his ass in line.
Can someone please give me the reason for this?

teacher said:To pad the coffers of the medical establishment. By charging people for prescriptions and the fact that more people will get sick from an improper diet but get around it some by taking vitamins. I thought that was just in Europe. Are you sure? I'll have to start eating my veggies. Does ketchup count? This is overboard. Some heads may roll over this. Too many people take vitamins. Including me. I'm 41. In perfect shape and have a terrible diet. I've been taking vitamins since 10 or so. I think there is something to them. Great for hangovers also. Take them at night with a gallon of water and your ALMOST fine the next morning. You'll see my conservative ass turn on the Republicans in a heartbeat if this gets through. But it takes some support from the Dems also. See what the money and lobbies do for us? Are you VERY sure? Now my panties are in a wad.

Urethra Franklin said:Most nutritional supplements are unnecessary, and some are dangerous.
If you need them for a specific therapeutic end, they should be prescribed by a doctor and your levels monitored. Food supplements are an industry which make a few people rich out of trading on peoples' gullibility.
As for making doctors and pharmaceutical companies rich out of yet more prescription medicines, this wouldn't happen if you had a fair system of socialist medicine, instead of the apalling big business, health care lottery you have in the US.

teacher said:You can turn any subject into hate America can't you? .
Miserable? Honey life's swinging.teacher said:I'm glad you're so figgin miserable. .
teacher said:And Bush has three more years of running this, the USA, the greatest nation ever on gods green earth. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. .
teacher said:Maybe your country is next huh?.
teacher said:And if you get sick and need SERIOUS medical treatment, where you gonna go? .
teacher said:That's right. It just bugs the shi*t out of you don't it? Good.
cnredd said:What part of Europe are you from?
The part whose ass we kicked? Or the part whose ass we saved?
Urethra Franklin said:Neither of those places exist.
In which edition of the National Enquirer did you read about them?
cnredd said:Don't read the Enquirer...Too busy putting up my new signature...
Naughty Nurse said:Oh, does that new signature mean you're an active queen rather than a passive queen?

above is an editorial written by John Hammell
http://www.greatestherbsonearth.com/articles/eu_nightmare.htm
an article written after the EU passed the measure in 2002
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163891,00.html
the article on the CAFTA vote. I wonder if the original poster to this thread confused CAFTA and CODEX. From what I understand... CODEX is one who wants limited dosages of vitamins on store shelves.. with the higher dosages only available by prescription. Hope this helps (it's really all I could find at the moment)

Wow. Just...wow.Youve Got To Be Kidding! said:No you uninformed gimp. This is hidden in the 10,000 page CAFTA Bill.
Why dont you do your own reearch before cutting others down.
He was merely speculating whether you confused two somewhat similar acronyms. You are a very defensive person.debate_junkie said:I wonder if the original poster to this thread confused CAFTA and CODEX.
FiremanRyan said:thanks ms. franklin haha.
im actually very pleased with the way our OTC medicine and supplement system works. no government regulations on things that dont need it. i dont know what id do if i needed a prescription for things i buy all the time like multi-vitamins, whey protein or energy supps. just seems unnecessary.
