Go after illegal use of steroids Sen. McCain. But once you enact a bill, one thing always leads to another in Washington. The vitamins and supplements will most definitely be affected. But more importantly, we, the people who depend on them will be affected.

It's John McCain. What do you expect, a conservative?
Ya know..I could care less who is doing it. I don’t want it done. Period.
Go away McCain.
“Go after illegal use of steroids Sen. McCain”
What business is it of the government if I want to use steroids?
Poor old John has been addicted to the “nasty” pill for some time.
It will be just as helpful as McCain-Feingold is. Don’t worry. Everything will be super.
Good ole John “I love me a nanny-state as long as its initiated by Republicans and not icky Democrats” McCain.
yet another case of a government power grab which is opposed by the VAST majority of Americans (#1 generator of consitutent mail, 1996), and yet they just won’t let it go.
They’ll arrange it so that you CANNOT help yourself —you’ll have to go to an expensive professional. AND, there will be a huge, trackable papertrail behind all that.
Imagine if the government made it ILLEGAL for you to change your own motor oil, and the picture becomes more clear.
JOHN McCAIN —NOT A CONSERVATIVE, AND HIS LIBERAL DAUGHTER IS FAT AS HELL.
This is not suprising, John McCain is OWNED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTY.
I take quite a few supplements. But I have spent quite a bit of time investigating them, as well as consulting with alternative medicine people who are familiar with the matter.
Most of the government recommended levels are stupid. For instance, in the winter and in overcast weather you need a lot more vitamin D than they recommend. In fact, the doctors are only just now starting to come around to that view themselves. But I have never had a doctor recommend Vitamin D to me, although I have had a number of good doctors over the years.
I don’t need Juan McCain telling me that I can only take a quarter of the Vitamin D that I think I should be taking, and charging me ten times as much for it.
Or ToCoQ-10, which I started taking (one small capsule) and my doctor asked me, “What the hell is that for?” when I went in for my physical last year. Evidently he looked it up, because the next physical I went in for a year later, he recommended that I should take it. I don’t really need it put on the prescription list, and pay my insurer ten times as much for it.
Supplement manufacturers, however, do need to be regulated by the government. Drug manufacturers are subject to strict quality control regulations; dietary supplement manufacturers are not.
See the L-Tryptophan related outbreak of Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome in the early 1990s to see why the government should have some regulatory powers over supplement manufacturers.

“I am a vitamin and supplement user big time. I hope this isn’t leading to another government run disaster. “
It’s McCain, what else can it lead to???
“See the L-Tryptophan related outbreak of Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome in the early 1990s to see why the government should have some regulatory powers over supplement manufacturers.”
That was tainted L-Tryptophan imported from Japan. Instead of going after the manufacturer or imports, the FDA shut off ALL L-Tryptophan.
Mr. McCain how about a bill to deregulate pharmaceuticals let people go to the drug store and buy what they want without a prescription. Most will still go to the doctor for advice when needed but most doctors make you come back every three months to reup your scrips even when you have been taking the same meds for years. Now they want control of your vitamins too.
Message to McCain and the other politicians: Leave my vitamins alone!!!!!!!
