Anti-aging Supplements May Soon Be Illegal!

Posted by R. on May 28, 2003 at 04:14:05:

If you're one of the millions of Americans who enjoy and benefit from anti-aging supplements such as DHEA and pregnenolone, you have reason to be concerned. Certain members of Congress are intent on taking them away from you and placing you under arrest if you possess them!

The villain is the so-called "Anti-Andro Bill" -H.R. 207- introduced last October in the House by U.S. Representatives Sweeney and Osborne. Purporting to address the use of muscle-building "andro" supplements by teens, this wildly overbroad bill would have devastating effects on mature adults throughout America. It would actually permit the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to schedule a wide variety of currently over-the-counter nutritional supplements as controlled substances. In effect, this bill would authorize the arrest and criminal prosecution of millions of Americans as drug offenders-just for possessing supplements like DHEA, 7- keto DHEA and pregnenolone.

Hi R.

Thanks for the information. I emailed it to some friends. It seems that a strong, healthy population not dependent on drug companies is a threat.

Interesting how cigarettes, which are known to be dangerous and damaging to our health, don't require a prescription. In other words, we are free to damage ourselves all we want, but not free to heal ourselves.

Cigarettes are good money makers for the "right" people.

In Australia DHEA is already illlegal.

It is only available from govt licenced drug pushers, at about SIX(6) times the US price (adjusted for currency conversion)

But first you must get a written certificate from another govt agent...
