FDA Trilateral Cooperation Charter – the end of health freedom as we know it

As horrific as the recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) guidelines are for health freedom (http://www.naturalnews.com/033482_FDA_dietary_supplements.html), they are not necessarily the worst threat currently on the regulatory horizon. Far off the radar of most in the natural health community is the quietly-developing North American Trilateral Cooperation Charter (TCC), which threatens to merge the dietary supplement regulation guidelines of the US, Mexico, and Canada into a single, highly-restrictive regulatory paradigm.

The “Food & Nutrition” section of Health Canada’s “International Activities” website explains that TCC, which was officially signed by representatives from seven food, drug, health, and trade agencies of the three North American countries, is designed to “improve product safety” and “promote public health.” This is done by “facilitat[ing] the communication, collaboration, leveraging of resources, and the exchange of information on issues of mutual interest among the three countries” (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/intactivit/trilateral-coop/charter_charte-eng.php).

And now… the rest of the story. …..

    This cannot be law unless it goes through Congress…well ..as long as we have a Congress with brass. Do we? Why do they let Obama continue to “legislate” through regulation?

    Where are the Representatives with the chutzpah to stand up to him?

    Members of boards, agencies, or groups cannot legislate our health freedom. Does anyone know this?
