!!!!Everyone Please Help Save Another B6 From Being Banned by the FDA!!!!

**custom** · 04-01-2009 07:50 AM

As most of you know, the FDA recently banned the version of vitamin B6 known as pyridoxamine. The ONLY reason this was done is so that pharmaceutical companies could have exclusive access to the vitamin to sell it as a drug. The FDA is clearly only looking to protect the financial interest of pharmaceutical companies and not about ensuring the safety of the food supply.

In fact, from the drug's company's own petition tothe FDA, they admit "Pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs must be protected from companies that may seek to market the ingredients in those drugs as dietary supplements. The marketing of such products has the potential to undermine the incentive for the development of new drugs, because many people may choose to purchase the supplements rather than the drugs".

And now, another form of Vitamin B6, P5P, is on the chopping lock for the exact same reason.

P5P is a superior form of vitamin B6 found in many supplements.

Please take 30 seconds and sign this petition and send a letter to your representative and senators.

If we dont take a stand, the FDA in cooperation with the drug companies are going to keep on doing this, right down the list of active they want just for themselves until we are left with absolutely nothing. Some of you may have thought this was an overzelous scare tactic in the past, but as you can see now, the stuff is indeed for real and hitting the fan.

Custom - you should ask the Admin to make a Global Sticky so you don't have to have 5 threads spread around. This way, everyone can comment in one thread.
On board, though!

**Kristofer68SS** · 04-01-2009 08:04 AM

Im on board.

Whats new. The FDA is a joke.

Its all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$, not our actual well being.

I could rant and rant.

**strategicmove** · 04-01-2009 08:25 AM

It beats me how Big Pharma, thanks to their lobby, can be allowed by the FDA to claim exclusivity on these B6 forms. They are no new compounds at all. Next thing you know, tocotrienols will follow. And so on. Simply nauseating!

Done.

As much as I HATE what they are; do we have any kind of Lobbying force that voices OUR views to our government?

It's sad that such a thing should even be necessary and speaks to the truth that our governement is out of touch with it's people when we have to PAY someone to get our elected officials to listen to the actual citizens they supposedly represent.

Well, the NNFA is supposed to be doing this kind of thing, but for some reason they are not. So basically we are left with grass roots efforts and stuff like that.

Singed it and included a respectful message. Thanks

**subweevil** · 04-01-2009 08:55 PM

Thanks, I jumped on it. Used to be this kinda crap amazed me, now not so much anymore. Using money to make up the rules as you go is nothing new, but doesn't mean I gotta like it.

**silverSurfer** · 04-02-2009 06:09 AM

Done. They cannot take P5P away from me!

**Random181** · 04-02-2009 01:18 PM

Im guessing if the ban goes ahead b-6 will be another one of our research chems?
