Greenthought,
This is a guidance document only, not new regulations.
This guidance document does not change anything. If you make disease claims for carrot juice, then it is subject to regulation as a drug. This is true right now, without this guidance document. If you make no disease claims, then you are OK.(Credit given to Michael Donaldson Ellensburg, WA USA)

I sent the FDA this comment anyway:
Regarding Docket No 2006D-0480 I completely oppose the FDA’s never ending attempts to reclassify vitamins, supplements, herbs and even foods so that you can regulate them. The informed public sees this as just another step in appeasing the pharmaceutical industry & their efforts to increase their profits by promoting a never ending list of deadly allopathic drugs under the guise of promoters of good health.=&AGENCY=FDA

Here’s what the National Health Federation had to say:

Basically NO!!
The American Government has been taken by the Corporations, Congress from both parties are all corrupted by the Corporations, a Congressman when he retires becomes a Farma employee with 2 mill dol. a year.
I think, until this can be corrected they will try to advance to make more and more money and we are the losers.
Looks like we need a new Party with no Corporations compromise, this is easy to say but not easy to implement.

No way. I do not trust the FDA to regulate supplements at all and I made my wishes known on the FDA online docket.

This is another way of minting money, which the FDA wants to make use of. I pity the people there. No doubt USA can see a drastic decline in population.

NO! I rely heavily on alternative medicine, and I feared this was in “our” future….sad to think that making yourself or your family chicken soup could be looked at as practicing medicine if this goes through….gald to see the post in time to make my voice heard….

Dear FDA:
What you are about to do is criminal. You serve your masters(BigPharma and AMA) well. The Herbs and such are made by nature as well as BigPharma which are nothing more biochemicals and inorganics chemicals. It is pity that the general public are not educated in biochemistry and science to put a stop to your charade. It will be my fondish wish if you would stop what you are doing. Finally, it seems to me you are following down the road to implement Codex Alimentarius.
