Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) bill that threatens tens of thousands of products has officially been introduced. We need all hands on deck to oppose it. Action Alert!
Sen. Dick Durbin has launched his supplement attack by introducing his “Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022” with Senator Mike Braun (R-IN). This bill threatens your ability to access the supplements you rely on to stay healthy. We need to send a strong message to Congress that this is bad for consumers, bad for health, and bad for the economy.
The bill threatens fines and jailtime for companies that do not comply. If a company does not submit the proper information, in the correct form, by the proper date, the supplement is considered misbranded. For the first offense, violators can be imprisoned for one year and fined $1,000 dollars; for the second offense, violators can be imprisoned for three years and fined $10,000. Given the safety record of supplements that will be detailed below, the punishments here hardly seem to fit the crime.

This bill creates a lose-lose situation for consumers and supplement companies: if companies don’t comply, they face fines and jail time; if they do comply, companies are orchestrating their own demise by giving the FDA the list it needs to sweep the market of as many as 41,000 supplements that do not comply with the agency’s overreaching (and incomplete) “new supplement” guidance. Supplement companies lose, the economy suffers, and consumers lose access to critical health products.
It’s bad, but it may not even be the biggest threat to your supplements right now. Separately, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is independently moving forward with plans to attach a similar mandatory product registration provision for supplements to the reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act that must pass by the end of September. Durbin’s policy, then, has twice the chance of success because it is moving forward on two distinct paths.
Why are more supplement regulations such a priority for these federal authorities? Supplements are overwhelmingly safe. According to the FDA, in 2021, the agency received 2,400 adverse event reports related to dietary supplements. To put this in context, according to the FDA’s adverse event database, in 2021 the FDA received a total of 2,333,453 adverse event reports. That means that dietary supplements make up 0.1% of the adverse event reports to the FDA. National reports consistently show zero deaths from dietary supplements; according to the FDA’s database, in 2021 alone drugs killed 187,750 Americans.
That supplements are the products getting federal attention speaks to the power of the drug industry lobby and the willingness of elected officials and FDA officials to do their bidding. We cannot let these forces succeed in undermining our ability to stay healthy, naturally.
And how much money does Durbin and his extended family get from big pharma? My guess is a lot!

It resembles the same method of beuracratic tripe that they used to try and ban kratom, which is massively helping opiate addicts quit. I am in the atrocious methadone maintenance program, and the positive of this program is that you can leave street drugs behind and the circle of users you hang with. You more or less mostly free to focus on other things instead of scoring every hour of every day. However they make it difficult to get off because they start you at the lowest dose possible and expect you to use drugs as well, then as you ascend in milligrams you use less of the other dope your on. The problem is you oftentimes develop just another habit alongside your current one. I went all the way to 120mg and now after a year of going up and a year of going down im at 44mg. Kratom is my tonic that eases the DTs as well as my stress it’s a natural analgesic, as I’ve been very well aquanted with injury followed by subsequent agony. If I knew about this I truly believe I could have quit Opiates Instead of getting into the program. Big pharmakia started hearing stories like this and sent there team of grease stricken paper hounds after anyone selling this 1000 year old Eastern medicine. They claimed people died because it wasn’t “regulated” but the fact it there is not 1 death I could find where it was just kratom in the bloodstream they ALL had some hard shit in them as well. The pharmakia legal team also claimed the smoke shops that some people bought the herb at weren’t a legitimate “source” of retail. This was partially true because I would never buy my kratom from a bloody smoke shop only cause they have a history of putting all kinds of random chemicals in bags that will make one disrobe and crave the flesh of human faces. What these lawyers didn’t know was there were established businesses that went directly to the farms themselves and were reputable. So luckily they lost that time but it didn’t stop the punk ass DEA from trying to schedule 1 kratom. They were denied their scheme but I know even though there is a honest, safe, and quality kratom market that’s 3 party lab tested for any toxic contaminants (which is leagues more than you can say about the foul creators of the “vaccine”) it may not be the end of their war on healthy means by which we can shed their shackles the system has upon us. I know what’s to come, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to stand up against the tide. Christ saved me from a path of evil set on course by very abusive and sadistic caregivers. Kratom and it’s many uses show that God has a natural way for us to heal alongside the Holy Spirit. Now these vile buttboys of satan want to stop ALL supplements and remedies, I’m sure for the fact they can’t bloody poison us through those means. We must say the truth from our hearts, we must say no to these endless tyrannies, but most assuredly we must say GO FUCK YOURSELF LMN8-NWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
