Alternative Medicine, Lobbying

Hold it. Well, I'm wired. That is wonderful. Thank you very, very, very, very, very much for those kind words.

We have good news and bad news today. So let's get the bad news out of the way. The bad news is that the QEI, which is the acronym for a Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, one of the greatest pieces of legislation that was ever enacted. The Hatch Harkin, the Schey has been under attack ever since it went into 1994. Now, I would like in this today to a levy, if you will, around our health freedoms. And went to Shea was built. It was like building a 10 foot levee around our health industry and our right to take vitamins and minerals. And that was adequate at the time. Almost immediately, Big Pharma and the enemies began to attack it to make us believe that that it wasn't protecting our health freedoms. And they quit live the way until in Nine Teen.

Now they've got all kinds of money. They've got multi-billion dollar lobby groups working for them. And they've now introduced a bill called 31 56.

But this time they went to the House, very misleading label on it. But the whole intent of it is to destroy this 10 foot levee we have around our health freedoms. I want you to sign this form letter because this form letter, once you've signed it, get it turned in back to the people at the back of the hall. Then I get them into your congressman and we spread them through Congress and they say, wait a minute, there's something wrong with
