The people have no idea just who and what &amp;quot;their&amp;quot; government is presuming them to be, in order to operate the way they are. &amp;nbsp;Educate yourself and find out what REALLY has occured in this country, and discover the remedies that are available. Do a search for a book called &amp;quot;The Red Amendment&amp;quot; and read it. Then we can leave our children a REAL republic instead of tyranny, deception, and bondage. Also check suijuris.net &amp;nbsp;There is much that can be done.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you all for your intresting and informed input. &amp;nbsp;I have learned so much from you. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We who feel otherwise need to write to our Congress people and try to change things. &amp;nbsp;More people become ill, and or die from government approved prescription garbage, than have or will be ill or even die from suppliments. &amp;nbsp;And the government regulates this market why? &amp;nbsp;By 2010 Big Pharma has vowed that everyone in the world will regularly consume some form of prescription drugs. &amp;nbsp;Seems they are well on the the way to making this a true dream. &lt;/p&gt;

They still can't force them down your throat. I have a friend who has leaky gut. Her doctor gave her an acid blocker and Tylenol. She came home, threw the drugs away and went to her nutritionist for help. The nutritionist is using elimination and rotation diets, is doing more digestive function testing, including looking for parasites (which the doctor says doesn't exist in anything other than third world countries), and my friend is now on aloe vera, fish oils, a supplement that is anti-inflammatory (mostly spice based), glutamine and a probiotic. She told me that she only uses her doctor for testing and for a diagnosis to rule out serious disease. She doesn't ever take any of the drugs her doctor wants to put her on. &lt;/p&gt;

Let's revolt!&lt;/p&gt;

(Go to http://www.congress.org to see how your representatives voted on HR 2900). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But there are tens of  thousands - possibly hundreds of thousands - of U.S. subscribers to this site. I have to ask, what have you done since last April to stop this legislation? How many times did you contact your senators over S. 1082? Or write or phone your representatives about HR 1561? Did you ask them to acccept Ron Paul's bill, HR 676, Health Care for All? If you answered No to the above, you have no right to complain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If I sound a little testy, it's because I'm pretty discouraged. I have been doing all of the above, fighting for months to protect health freedom. But I feel like a lone voice. There is power in numbers. We proved that when we forced Congress to pass DSHEA in 1994. We could have done it again if &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; our voices had been raised. Where were you?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Remember: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." &lt;br&gt;- Edmund Burke&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10772" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: FDA Tyranny Becomes Law</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/31/fda-tyranny-becomes-law.aspx#10766</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:59:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:10766</guid><dc:creator>jennifer howard</dc:creator><description>Does the government plan to destroy itself by killing all of its constituents? Who then will it govern? We are in a sad state of affairs as a country when no one in power seems to have a conscience.
