Hearing

<<< Back to United States Health Regulatory History

I am not sure we would have enough to say about these hearings in order to make a presentation, but believe that there needs to be a detailed investigation into the adverse incident reports, before any hasty changes are made in the supplement legal area. Dr Reynolds presented excellent information about the adverse events associated with Vit B 6 at a symposium sponsored by CRN last fall. According to Jim Roza, our representative, he showed that many adverse events concerning B 6 were flawed. Our firm is willing to help fund future studies like this, or to cover expenses of experts to appear at hearings like Sen Durbin's.

There is also a substantial amount of data accumulated by Ron Law from New Zealand, and this should be inserted into the record of the hearings.

The relative risk/benefits of some of the other risks permitted in a free society such as tobacco, alcohol, firearms, and OTC pharmaceuticals need to be put into context with supplements. Time is short, but hopefully health freedom advocates will be able to present good information at this hearing.

Sincerely,

Elwood Richard, President
