Greeneyes talked about this on the post 'Morgellons, Chemtrails, Codex.' :
"Its not hard to see from this why they're working so hard to ban our access to dietary supplements and herbs via Codex and related harmonization efforts including bills C-51/ C-52 in Canada, the EU Directives, and the FDA's Trilateral Cooperation Charter."
I wanted to share something recently that arrived in the mail--- thought you all would understand the implications.
I got a legal claim form from the atrtourney general of TX. They have brought a 4 billion dollar lawsuit against an herbal company from Colorado, requiring them to pay back the money to anyone who has ever purchased supplements from them. Their reason for the lawsuit had to do with viral marketing- they claimed their supplements would help diseases like autism (or morgellons). (This may be a valid claim actually- I bought the supplements after guests on this board promised great success. So it's a gray area.)
They want me to fill in this form and mail it back to Texas, and money will magically appear for good products that I chose to buy and to use.
One less herbal company, one less source for us to try to find things that heal. And, do I want the Att. Gen. of TX knowing where I shop and what I buy? Obviously they know now. I'm keeping the claim form as a 'souvenir of the times.'
So, just thought I'd share.

More from TX- they seem to be active in this area- I've also read that they've been raiding health food stores and confiscating products. I guess it's been going on a while- this post is from 1998. This is from www.thefhf.org/index.cfm?tdc=dsp&page=successes_detail&recid=8"Oscar and Patricia Rodes of Arlington, Texas, sell stevia and books about stevia by mail order. In early May of [1998], Compliance Officer James Lahar and other FDA agents confiscated their stevia, proclaiming that selling stevia and books about stevia, including cookbooks, at the same time constitutes "mislabeling" and "adulterating" stevia. Following what I consider to be extremely poor legal advice, the Rodeses said they would be willing to stop selling the books if the FDA would simply release the stevia they had confiscated. At this point, James Lahar decided that refraining from selling the books wasn't enough. Harking back to humanity's dark (and not so distant) past, Lahar mandated a book burning. He and another FDA agent showed up at the Rodes' business to take inventory of and witness the destruction of the books. Oscar Rodes called the local television station, which sent in a news camera, and the FDA chose not to proceed with the book destruction at that time. "

Sad reflection on our society. Our legal system is whacked. Now if we could sue EVERY company for "making claims" The (dairy industry for example) Food companies and pharmaceutical companies. And they all had to mail us checks!!! ( If we could just get this law to apply evenly across the board) Boy talk about a good stimulus idea!! And for every company selling GMO and not labeling it as such and so on and on. Oh and how about those energy drinks yeah the "crack in the can" they push on kids. OH now well then it would be fair. Im so brained fogged right now its hard to type.

If the FDA really wants to pursue this line of thinking with balls to the walls enforcement then they should start with Aspartame/Nutrasweet made by Monsanto. And every single person who has ever bought Nutrasweet or products containing Nutrasweet should be financially reimbursed as the product has been proven to be harmful and has been proven to not work as a diet aid.
Nutrasweet/aspartame is sold as a product that promotes weight loss. However two major studies have proven exactly the opposite is true. In research studies the groups that were consuming the aspartame actually gained MORE WEIGHT than the control groups that were not consuming aspartame. This has to do with how aspartame screws up the bodies insulin and blood sugar regulating mechanisms.
Other products that have been over-promoted as being beneficial to health are Canola Oil and Soy. In a study done in Japan men consuming soy 3 or more times a week showed brain shrinkage.
Another "good for you" ingredient foisted off on the public in what has got to be one of the biggest scams in history of this type is Fluoride. I have been unable to find one respectable study anywhere that demonstrates that Fluoride reduces cavities. What I did find was study after study that proves the children in areas with fluoridated drinking water have lower IQs than children from areas without fluoridation. Also, populations drinking fluoridated water have more bone and nerve problems and a higher rate of heart attacks.
So in the interests of fairness if the FDA is going to go after herb companies then they should get cracking and get refunds for every single consumer dollar spent on mouthwash, toothpaste and other products with fluoride in them.
