thanks for the info, andersonx.

doesn't surprise....i think a lot of us knew it was a matter of time.

i work in the healthcare industry and have gotten heated response from doctors going many years back about this type of thing.

now that some doctors are getting a little more preventative their doctoring, this is becoming more of threat to supplements, etc.

at first, i thought ironic....but it as as you said...it is all financially based.

even if doctors recommend preventative natural treatment...the pharmaceuticals, insurance companies and doctors will be benefitting more.

natural remedy will be out of our reach as with traditional meds and we will be prey to the medical industry even more so.

they always label everything for consumer safety.

medicare is using a consumer safety tracking tool with electronic prescribing for its patients...but the incentive for the doctors offices to even utilize is a payoff in the end!

we really must use our voices and fight this.
