The FDA's End Game may severely limit nutritional supplements and natural products

(NaturalNews)In an interview on The Alex Jones Show, Mike Adams discusses Codex Alimentarius and how it is the FDA's "End Game" to destroy the dietary supplements industry once and for all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc31...

Under the new laws proposed for the Codex, nutritional supplement, vitamin, and natural product companies would be required by the FDA to analyze each individual ingredient in every product formulated after 1994 and then apply for new approval for these ingredients.

The approval process requires companies to submit extensive applications for each ingredient then research the efficacy and safety of them with clinical trials; if the ingredient is a plant, companies are then required to uncover the name of the original scientist that gave the plant its Latin name. As a result of these new proposed laws, many natural products and supplements will be labeled as "adulterated" and made unavailable to consumers.

If the new laws which call for such action are implemented, this dire situation would cause a serious blow to the economy and result in the devastation of the natural product and supplement industries.

In the following video segments, Mike Adams discusses the implications of these new laws and how they will affect those of us who rely on these products to supplement our healthy lifestyles or offer a form of natural relief from ailments and disease.

NaturalNews) Yesterday we reported on the FDA's new scheme for outlawing nearly all nutritional supplements formulated after October, 1994 (http://www.naturalnews.com/032912_F...). That was just the beginning of this story, because a detailed analysis of the proposed new regulation reveals extremely disturbing revelations that would absolutely gut the nutritional products industry if these regulations are put into practice.

Below are the highlights of the most offensive and onerous portions of these proposed new FDA regulations. The source of all this information is the FDA itself, which proposes its new rules in a rather lengthy post at: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceCom...

• Every nutritional supplement company will be forced to submit comprehensive NDI (New Dietary Ingredient) documentation for EACH ingredient used in EACH product they currently sell. This will amount to hundreds of thousands of NDI applications flooding the FDA offices. This is a clever FDA scheme to place a huge burden of research and paperwork on every dietary supplement company in the USA. In the FDA's own words:

"The statute places the obligation for submitting the notification on each manufacturer or distributor. Any other manufacturer or distributor who wishes to market its own dietary supplement containing the same NDI should submit a NDI notification to FDA explaining its own basis for concluding that this new product containing the NDI will "reasonably expected to be safe" under the conditions recommended or suggested in the new product's labeling."

• All supplement companies must REMOVE their products from "interstate commerce" for the 75 days after the FDA receives their NDI applications. No product containing an NDI application ingredient may be sold in the United States or it will be considered "adulterated" by the FDA and thereby subjected to confiscation.

• While the NDI provisions of the 1994 DSHEA act merely required dietary supplement companies to notify the FDA of new ingredients, the FDA is now distorting this into a de facto supplement approval process. Without the FDA's new approval, nutritional supplements will all be labeled "adulterated" and potentially confiscated at gunpoint by the FDA (see FDA raid links below).

• The FDA does not support electronic filing for NDI applications. All applications must be done on paper and then mailed to the FDA (yes, as in dropped in a metal mailbox with a paper envelope). The 75 days of waiting does not begin until the FDA says it receives your application.

• While a few ingredients that were in widespread use before 1994 are exempted from these new requirements, the FDA refuses to publish any list of "grandfathered" ingredients. Instead, it requires each supplement company to figure it out for themselves. In addition, even pre-1994 ingredients must receive new approvals from the FDA if they are "altered" in any way, including changing the particle size, increasing the amount per serving, using a super-critical extraction process, baking the substance or even harvesting it from a plant at a different life stage of the plant. In other words, nearly all ingredients use in dietary supplements today are considered "adulterated" by the FDA.
