The Natural Solutions Foundation keeps a close eye on the continuing disinformation of Big Pharma to try to convince you that there is no reason to, or good reason not to, take dietary supplements. It is like Honda telling you that there is no reason to buy, or good reason not to buy, a Toyota.
You see, dietary supplements are the direct economic competitor of drugs. Dietary supplements, like clean, unadulterated food, keep you healthy and get you back to health if you have become ill.
Compared to drugs, they are cheap, safe, easy to use and controllable by you or a helpful nutritionally knowledgeable person. And, at least in the US, they are classified as foods so they cannot be regulated the way drugs would be.
Of course, the FDA is always on the look out to undermine that freedom, recognized by the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) — unanimously adopted by Congress — which this Agency publicly calls “the worst act ever passed by the US Congress”. Why? Because the FDA is run by and for industry and the drug industry is a leading source of FDA funds through User Fees. The big players in the food industry, who pay no user fees to the FDA are, none the less, very important buddies of the organization, so food is regulated for the interests of big industry and drugs are regulated to promote the drug industry, at the expense of anything that might get in the way, like, for example, dietary supplements, or the public good.
Recently pro-industry legislators created an Adverse Event Reporting system for dietary supplements that tries to ignore the role of the many drugs many people use in distorting their metabolism and leading to . Naturally, this created a great PR opportunity to bash and diminish the importance and safety of dietary supplements which do not kill people. Drugs kill people. Foods which are not contaminated do not and dietary supplements are foods!
Dr. Ron Paul, Congressman from Texas, last year called one FDA maneuver an “abuse of power…” and Congress passed dangerous bill under the guidance and force of Senator Ed. Kennedy that further enhanced the power of the FDA. In this case, though, the Health Freedom movement had a partial victory in that we insisted that Congress add a clause to the bill, protecting Dietary Supplements… and Congress, responding to the hundreds of thousands of messages that advocates of health freedom, generated, through our Action Items and otherwise, adopted the protective language.
Yet we recall that genetically modified yeast which produced contaminated Tyrptophane did kill people, giving the FDA the excuse it was seeing to remove this safe and effective sleep and calming amino acid from the market. It was, after all, cutting into the drug market heavily. The FDA did not take genetically modified products off the market. And the company which produced the contaminated shipment in Japan had a sudden and very mysterious fire which destroyed the factory – and any evidence of contamination – almost immediately after the incident was revealed.
Such is the corruption of an agency which regulates both food and drugs. Clearly, those functions must be separated and a new agency which is consumer controlled must be created. Click here () to make sure that happens!
In the meantime, read the important analysis of the latest “Dietary Supplements are Poisonous” disinformation and make a recurring 100% tax deductible donation (https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189) to the Natural Solutions Foundation so that we can continue to provide information and strategic input to keep your health freedom free.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, October 9, 2008
(OMNS, October 9, 2008) “Dietary supplements cause 600 ‘adverse events'”, reported USA Today on 22 Sept, 2008. In an article that looks much like an official US Food and Drug Administration press release, it said that “Serious side effects from the use of food supplements resulted in 604 “adverse-event” reports – a list that includes at least five deaths – through the first six months that such accounts have been required by law.” (1)
Good grief! Looks like all those supplement-popping health nuts really are nuts after all. Food supplements simply must be dangerous!
Or are they?
Later on in the article, far from the headline, USA Today conceded that “An adverse event can be anything from a concern that a supplement isn’t working to a serious illness that follows consumption.” And, FDA spokesman Michael Herndon admitted that of the five deaths and 85 hospitalizations reported, “Some of these deaths were likely due to underlying medical conditions.”
FDA’s method of gaining data is suspect at best and biased at worst. Their “Dietary Supplement Adverse Event Reporting” webpage,
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~DMS/ds-rept.html, states: “FDA would like to know when a product causes a problem even if you are unsure the product caused the problem or even if you do not visit a doctor or clinic.” The measure of uncertainty involved in publicly soliciting adverse reports “even if you are unsure that the product caused the problem” is noteworthy.
But most significant of all is that FDA refused to disclose exactly which supplements allegedly were causing problems. Doesn’t the public have a right to know? In the absence of FDA disclosure to the contrary, it is likely that the five or fewer deaths attributed to “food supplements” were in fact due to medicinal substances marketed as dietary supplements. FDA acknowledges this in a round-about way at their website
(http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/mwgblghb.html).
There you will find an “Important Message” which asks health professionals to “Report Serious Adverse Events Associated with Dietary Supplements Containing GBL, GHB, or BD . . . a group of products sold as dietary supplements for bodybuilding, weight loss and sleep inducement which have been determined to pose a significant public health hazard. These products are chemically related ! to gamma butyrolactone (GBL), gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), and 1,4 butanediol (BD), and can cause dangerously low respiratory rates (intubation may be required), unconciousness/coma, vomiting, seizures, bradycardia and death. GBL, GHB and BD have been linked to at least 122 serious illnesses reported to FDA, including three deaths.”
But these substances are not foods. They are not vitamins, and they are not minerals, and they are not amino acids. They should not be considered with or as food supplements. Over half of all Americans safely take nutritional supplements every day. If each of those persons took only one tablet per day, that would be some 145,000,000 individual doses daily, for a total of over 53 billion doses annually. Many healthy people take more. And yet, according to national statistics compiled by the authoritative American Association of Poison Control Centers, there is not even one death per year from vitamins. (2) Look at the reports, which detail each individual vitamin, mineral, amino acid and herb, and see for yourself at
http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/NPDS/AnnualReports/tabid/125/Default.aspx
By comparison, FDA acknowledges that prescription drugs resulted in 482,154 adverse-event reports in the year 2007. That is nearly 400 times as many adverse events from prescription drugs per six-month period. And this much higher number does not include over-the-counter drugs, a striking omission. Many non-prescription drugs, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen), are a long way from safe. Liver toxicity from acetaminophen poisoning is by far the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Acetaminophen accounted for 51% of all acute liver failure cases in 2003. (3) Indeed, the Associated Press previously reported that common drug dangers are so bad that “Harmful reactions to some of the most widely used medicines – from insulin to a common antibiotic – sent more than 700,000 Americans to emergency rooms each year.” (4)
Vitamin supplements compete with FDA-sponsored drugs. FDA has been trying to eliminate availability of vitamin supplements for over 45 years. As early as 1962, writes constitutional attorney Jonathan W. Emord, “FDA perceived a competitive threat emerging to drug regulation from the sale of dietary ingredients at above RDA doses.” In 1966, “FDA published a rule that any dietary supplement exceeding 150% of the RDA for a vitamin or mineral would automatically be regulated as a drug.” In 1976, after a “public outcry,” the Proxmire Amendment prohibited FDA from deeming a vitamin or mineral a drug solely because of potency. “Undaunted,” continues Emord, “FDA tried yet again to rid the market of vitamins in the 1970s by claiming on a case by case basis that they were adulterated based on their potency.” FDA also tried to have supplements declared to be unapproved food additives. “FDA’s position was a logical absurdity: Single ingredient dietary supplements were food additives b! ecause the ingredients were added to a gelatin capsule which was, FDA said with a wink and a smirk, a food. . . The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit described FDA’s position as an “Alice in Wonderland” approach.” In 1980, FDA tried to get vitamins classified as over-the-counter drugs. . . FDA has repeatedly exceeded the limits of its statutory authority to bring about changes designed to protect drug companies from competition.” (5)
Additional evidence comes directly from FDA, whose own Dietary Task Force Report, released June 15, 1993, said: “The task force considered many issues in its deliberations including to ensure that the existence of dietary supplements on the market does not act as a disincentive for drug development.” There is also this statement was made by FDA Deputy Commissioner for Policy David Adams, at the Drug Information Association Annual Meeting, July 12, 1993: “Pay careful attention to what is happening with dietary supplements in the legislative arena . . . If these efforts are successful, there could be created a class of products to compete with approved drugs. The establishment of a separate regulatory category for supplements could undercut exclusivity rights enjoyed by the holders of approved drug applications.”
FDA wants control of vitamins. Their latest ploy is to frighten the public into thinking vitamin supplements are dangerous, without proof, and without even naming the supplements they accuse. Don’t fall for what Abram Hoffer, M.D., calls “the FDA’s grand lie that, if told over and over again, is accepted as somehow true.”
Vitamin supplements are not the problem. Poor eating habits, and too many medicines, are the problem. Food supplements are a solution. They are effective, and vastly safer than drugs. The US Food and Drug Administration knows this full well.

Consumers in Brazil can eat Hershey’s Kisses free of Genetically Modified sugar! Why can’t we?
Urge the Hershey company to stop using any GMO ingredients, including sugar.
Click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26087) RALPH, WE NEED AN ACTION ITEM to let Hershey’s know that there is nothing sweet about GMO sugar!
The Natural Solutions Foundation strongly opposes all types of Genetically Modified Foods and urgently requires that all such foods, if permitted, be clearly labeles as containing these dangerous and highly environmentally suspect “Franken Foods”.
Here is a list of Hershey Products. All of them are likely to contain GMO sugar:
Hershey Chocolate Bars, Kisses, cocoa and all other products bearing the Hershey’s name
Kit Kat
Mauna Loa
Reese’ Peanut Cups and other Reese’s products
Heath
Cadbury
5th Avenue
Milk Duds
Almond Joy and many, many more candies, gums and household products. Click here (http://www.hersheys.com/products/ag.asp) for a complete list.
This is consumer power at its finest: Tell Hershey’s candy that you will not eat candy with GM sugar or other ingredients, you will not give it to kids on Halloween knowing that the pesticide residues of the tremendously dangerous chemical Roundup (TM) or glyphosate [which is used in huge quantities in the growing of Roundup(TM) Ready (TM) crops, including the Roundup (TM) Ready (TM) sugar beet] is a major toxin.
Thanks for your action. Please make sure you forward this to everyone on your list so they don’t give kids especially dangerous candy at a time that should be fun, not tragic.

The Genetically Modified Beet Goes On
By Kisha Lewellyn Schlegel, 12-04-07
After seven years of keeping sugar from genetically modified sugar beets out of their food, Kellogg, Hershey’s and the Wyoming based American Crystal Sugarwill use sugar made from genetically modified (GM) beets.
The decision marks a turnaround for Crystal Sugar, the nation’s largest sugar producer, which declared in May of this year that it had no plans to use GM sugar beets, and indicated that herbicide-resistant varieties developed using biotechnology would not “be sold, given away, distributed, or planted in year 2007.â€
But according to a recent article in the New York Times, the food giants have softened to the idea because public resistance to GM foods seems to have faded. They now support the introduction because it will increase yields and, unlike other GM foods, beet sugar will have no genetically modified strands of altered DNA or proteins left in it by the time it is processed into sugar. Essentially, the genetically modified beet creates the same sucrose as an everyday sugar beet. This has been an important distinction for the industry as a way to assuage consumer concerns and expand the sugar beet market, which is the source for about one-half of American sugar.
Produced by Monsanto, GM beets are also called Roundup Ready Beets because their DNA has been altered to survive applications of Roundup weed-killer. The glyphosate based herbicide Roundup is widely used to kill weeds, but is strong enough to kill crops. A genetically modified beet is resistant to Roundup, allowing farmers to kill the weeds and keep the beets.
But the health risks of glyphosate are poorly understood. Some studies have connected glyphosate exposure to cancer, organ damage in animals, human reproduction and fetal development. Glyphosate has also created super-weeds, resistant to the herbicide much like humans are becoming resistant to some antibiotics. Genetically modified foods can also spread and interbreed with non-GM crops, reducing crop diversity and creating other, uncontrollable super-weeds.
While the ecological and health issues are debated, the often overlooked factor in the increasing use of GM seed and food is that it gives Monsanto a great deal of control over the production of food. A handful of corporations like Monsanto are involved in agricultural biotechnology. Their products of genetically modified corn, soybeans and sugar beets are then patented much like the work of other inventors in order to limit the way seeds can be used and distributed. Biotech patents have been controversial however because the companies are patenting biology, DNA, the basic structure of life and then claiming it as their invention in order to sell it.
These patents have already caused problems for farmers and ranchers. In the last decade, farmers whose non-GM crops inadvertently breed with Monsanto’s Genetically Modified and patent protected crops have actually been sued for illegally growing Monsanto’s seed. In 2000, Monsanto sued a Canadian farmer when a neighboring farm’s Roundup Ready crops went to seed and mixed with the their crops. Nelson Farms of North Dakota is also being sued for saving Roundup Ready seed and planting it the next year. While saving seed is the ancient and core practice of farming, farmers sign a Monsanto agreement not to save or share any seed.
While organizations like the Organic Consumers Organization’s Millions Against Monsanto campaign against biotechnology, Monsanto continues to develop new seed technologies. As it expands the number of patents it has on those technologies it will also expand its power to sue individual producers and control the market. In doing so, Vandana Shiva, a physicist, farmers’ rights activist and author of Monocultures of the Mind argues that farmers and ranchers using GM seeds will continue to find themselves limited by GM seed rather than enabled by it. As she writes, “Corporate strategies and products can lead to diversification of commodities; they cannot enrich nature’s diversity.â€
Even so, the Rocky Mountain West has become a testing ground for genetically modified foods. In 2001 Roundup Ready wheat was grown in fields in Idaho and Washington and GM alfalfa grown in Idaho. Genetically modified beets have already been grown on 300 acres in Idaho during test trials for Monsanto and another 2,200 acres in Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin.
While sugar beet farmers await the outcome of these trials and the products full release next year, the sugar industry is keeping a low profile about their use of GM beets in order to reduce the chance of a public outcry according to the New York Times. To further protect its interests, Monsanto recently hired Parven Pomper Schulyer Inc. to lobby the federal government on agriculture, trade and tax issues. Those registered to lobby for Monsanto include Brian Pomper, who served as chief international trade counsel for Montana Senator Max Baucus from 1997 to 2003, Beau Schuyler, who was legislative director to Rep. John Tanne; and Melissa Wier, former assistant to the chief of staff to Sen. Tom Carper.
With this effort and continued growth in GM foods, Monsanto “expects to double the gross profit potential of business from the end of 2007 through 2012.â€

Hi Everybody Mighty Mouse Is Back!
How many of you remember the days when Mighty Mouse cartoons produced an unusual hero. If you do, you are admitting to getting old!
Mighty mouse is back to champion the quest for our freedoms! Dr. Laibow had brought attention back to this mighty warrior for American Freedom like no other, and brought Mighty Mouse back into play. The Mighty Mouse is in right in your hand when you are sitting at your computer!
The opposition starts their agenda of toxic cocktails in our food and medications in one state, mostly among the poor and out of work people.Then they go for the kill by making it the law of the land through our congressmen and senators, and our local law enforcement officials being brain washed
to think of the people they are supposed to, by their oath to protect and defend, are the enemy.
Yet there is a double standard here. These officials of the law don’t realize they are not above the law and that they are being duped, because eventually the fires of this hell on Earth will engulf their own children [and them – REL]. By then it will be too late for even them to say “no” to the demise of their own children.
If our ELECTED OFFICIALS are allowed to continue to force these vaccination agendas, (the attack of the week), on New Jersey, We the People, will all suffer greatly. Then to complete the job, they follow up with the forced psychiatric drugging of our children [and of us -REL] to produce a nation of prescription drug junkies.
It’s up to every one of us to keep at it [defending our freedoms -REL], just like the opposition does at bringing this country down.
We are Mighty Mouse
All of us must use our computer mouses and keep vigil every day by clicking away at all the petitions, faxes, phone calls and letters to these hypnotized and brain-washed so called representatives of the people. Our Foundation’s mission is to educate decision makers… with your help!
Help New Jersey right now…
[By going to the October 16 No Forced Vaccination Rally in Trenton, NJ (https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=1166) and letting everyone you know in the tri-state metro area know about this opportunity – REL] by clicking away on your mouse no matter what state you are from. Sign these very important petitions. The Internet is our greatest tool right now to bring about the freedoms so badly needed in our nation.
Everybody, please — hand on your mouse right now and sign all of the petitions in this forwarded message, and get them to all your contacts. [Free Speech is a good place to start. Click here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25929, to tell your State and Federal Legislators that allowing Registered Dietitians a monopoly over ALL speech relating to food, food components, including dietary supplements, and health is unconstitutional and must stop. Right now, 46 States have such laws with New Jersey hard on their heels. -REL]
Yesterday (Nov, 17, 2007) it was Maryland, where they forced the toxic vaccination program on poor
unsuspecting people [2300 children were vaccinated, 1100 of them RE-vaccinated with an extra dose of toxins because the school district admitted it had lost their vaccination records -REL] at the point of a gun with police dogs and judge in attendance, with police toting guns and attack dogs, to vaccinate their children under severe, cruel and unusual punishment if they did not. [And this in a State with statutory exemptions of medical conditions, conscience and religion, none of which were identified to parents who were threatened with jail time and fines if they did not allow their children to be vaccinated. -REL]
Make no mistake, this is an attack
The CDC’s own website on adverse vaccine incidents [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, VAERS, http://vaers.hhs.gov/ -REL] reported many adverse events related to these toxic medicines on [our -REL] children, but none of this toxic genocide of our children got reported through the media. They bury it with our children who don’t survive this attack, and we get the bill for the whole thing. Your children will be next if we do not act now and help our neighbors. Make no mistake about this. The people of New York State kicked them in the ass by screaming so loud they sent the reps running with their tails between their legs, and got the forced vaccine program squashed in that state.
The opposition is on the attack again.
Today it’s New Jersey. They are escalating the attack on our children of all citizens of this state.
Tomorrow it’s the rest of the country, then in a domino effect, the rest of the world.
Go to your mouse now, and make it Mighty Mouse.
We are talking about maiming and killing your children here. Let’s continue to flood the government offices with our demands that they begin to represent the people or we kick them out this November.
Is it already too late…
These very reps defied the 96% of the people who did not want it in the latest fiasco on the Bail Out, and voted it into law. Where is the serve and protect the people. When you are
broke, who will bail you out? Hmmmmmmm.
They just took your money and will continue to do it if we don’t stop them. It is only the beginning.
This is how we can stop this horror cold.
Remember the kick in the ass will be when, We the People, kick them out of their jobs this November.
Might Mouse is right here, It’s YOU, and we are all a part of this brave warrior for freedom.

Remember, third party all the way will save the day. No one is going to do this for you, you must get involved. You have to be in it to win it. Do your part and feel proud. Use your mouse to find who your state and national third party reps are, and make it a mighty mouse. Vote for them in November.
Don’t believe for a New York minute that we can’t win. We can!
The only thing you have to fear is what will happen to you and your family if you do nothing.
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Thanks,
Nick Merolesi

This is the latest announcement about this Thursday’s Pro Health Freedom Rally in Trenton. Please forward this information to anyone in the region who can get to this important show of solid support for health freedom.
One Thousand People Expected To Rally For Vaccination Choice
at the State House in Trenton, NJ on Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.
NJ Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk, Board-certified Pediatrician Dr. Lawrence Palevsky and National Vaccine Information Center co-founder Barbara Loe Fisher, will join NJ parents and professionals at a rally in Trenton for vaccination choice. Nearly one thousand people are expected, requiring Trenton to close the streets to accommodate the crowds.
The speakers represent a cross-section of society including medical doctors, nurses, chiropractors, scientists, clergy, educators, soldiers, politicians, journalists, autism activists, homeschoolers and many parents. The NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice (NJCVC) invites you to rally with them by the steps of the State House, outside Gov. Corzine’s office.
The group opposes the four new vaccine mandates including an annual flu shot for children ages 5 and under, required for daycare and pre-school. NJCVC supports the passage of bill A260/S1071, a conscientious exemption to mandatory immunization which will permit parents to select all, some or no vaccinations for their children. A form of this parental right already exists in 19 other US states. All legislators will be in Trenton for a Special Session. Fox News plans to cover the event. Fox aired a live segment on vaccination choice in NJ on October 9 (see http://tinyurl.com/3nmgqb and http://tinyurl.com/45ca5y).
Press urged to cover this high visual impact event: signs, banners, balloons, photos, children, music, personal stories, legislator appreciation ceremony. Rally Information: Rain or Shine, Thursday, October 16, 2008, Noon- 2 pm, 125 West State Street, Trenton, NJ, www.njvaccinationchoice.org for more rally details.

Media Release: End All Forced Vaccination
Trenton, October 16, 2008 – Natural Solutions Foundation participates in the Rally for Vaccination Choice at the Statehouse in Trenton, New Jersey today. Through its www.HealthFreedomUsa.org web site, the Foundation is the largest international ‘netroots’ Health Freedom alliance in the world.
Foundation trustee and life-long New Jersey resident Ralph Fucetola JD delivered a special message to the Rally from Foundation President Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA, ret) and Medical Director Rima E. Laibow, MD. The message stated,
“Natural Solutions Foundation supports the efforts of people around the world who oppose forced vaccination for any purpose. As an educational, nongovernmental organization we seek to inform legislators and decision makers about the dangers of vaccine induced disease and the necessity of a Universal Right to Vaccine Exemptions, including strong religious, philosophical and medical exemptions for all vaccines. We congratulate New Jersians on their efforts to stop the uninsurable risks of mandated vaccines.â€
Counsel Fucetola continued, “The fact that the insurance industry, our society’s experts in risk, will not insure vaccines is a very telling fact. Without the special Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) tax that every person who is mandated to buy vaccines is forced to pay, there could be no mandated vaccines at all. Public companies cannot invest in uninsurable risks, so Congress, ever supine to the interests of Big Pharma, mandated that the victims have to pay a tax to guarantee pharmaceutical industry vaccine profits. So far, over two billion tax dollars has been paid out to the families of children maimed and killed by vaccines. This must stop now!â€
The Natural Solutions Foundation, along with other health freedom advocates, declared, a year ago, that ending forced vaccinations must be a top priority of all freedom activists. The Tiburon Statement, named after the California town where it was written at an emergency meeting of nongovernmental organizations, can be found at: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=460 – it states:
Convening for Health Freedom of Choice, Protecting our Children from Forced Vaccination
Health and Freedom leaders and advocates, meeting in an emergency strategic session at Tiburon, California and electronically, declare –
– We collectively call upon Congress and State Legislatures to take immediate steps to restore and guarantee freedom of choice in vaccination and health care and to protect our children and us against forced treatments.
– The moral imperative embodied in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki forbids involuntary medical treatment or experimentation in the absence of fully informed, voluntary consent.
– We have a right to legal protection against mandatory inoculations of our children, such as those which occurred on November 17, 2007 in Prince George’s County Court House, enforced by police.
– Taxpayers have paid nearly $2 billion to compensate families for the death or disability of their children due to vaccination.
We, the undersigned, call upon the Congress of the United States and legislators of each State to adopt the strongest possible legal protections to ensure health care freedom of choice, including the universal right to vaccination exemptions.
