        <title>Big Pharma Buying Up Supplement Companies</title>
        <description> This is more than disturbing… So FYI.   Check to be sure your supplements continue to have the forms and dose/quantity upon which you have relied to reach your goals for optimal health function.  
If not, we’ll have to adjust the dosing accordingly.

            <description><![CDATA[ What really is at stake here is freedom; our right to choose for ourselves; and we may or may not consult our medical doctor. We have family who fought in wars to protect our freedom, and a couple of my uncles never made it back home.  If lose our right to self-educate and make good choices, we are no different than other countries where people are continually suppressed.  I spent hours gathering information on COVID and then we pursued what we believed was the best option back in 2020.  We still practice the preventions I turned up and we still alive and have not had a hint of any health problems. including viruses or any other problems.<br />
<br />
So we need to protect our right to investigate and choose what&#039;s best for us; and if we are wrong WE suffer the consequences.<br />
<br />
Just a health update:  I am a loooong time Afibber and a few years ago accidently drank a half of bottle of Kumbucha which contained caffeine.<br />
My heart took off and by evening I couldn&#039;t get it under control and went to ER.  Previous to this I had been just fine for several years watching my food allergies that trigger my heart. So ER determined I was in congestive heart failure and ask me to stay the night for observation.  The nurses prepared me for the worst with booklets and CHF stages, etc.  I was anxious to ID which stage I was in and determined out of the four stages I was in the highest level of Stage 4.  The next say they did blood work and sent me home.  So I did what I do educate myself.  The first thing I hunted for were the books you suggested, Jackie, by Dr. Sinatra.  BINGO!  I read and noted his recommendations and carefully ordered and set up a program for myself.<br />
<br />
It was noted on my chart that I was in CHF and that never changed.  I had my annual check ups and stress tests but nothing was ever mentioned again and I guess I didn&#039;t inquire because I didn&#039;t want to know.  However, in 2020 I cycled 640 miles and last year 243 miles because husband was recovering from knee surgery and we didn&#039;t want to stress him.<br />
<br />
Then about 4 months ago a specialist wanted to place on me on a drug for osteoporosis that had the potential to cause a stroke or heart attack so I consulted with my cardiologist who did a stress test just a couple of months earlier.  I asked about he CHF and he said that taking the new drug wasn&#039;t likely to be a problem as I was no longer in CHF and hadn&#039;t been for several years.  Can you believe it?  I was the last to know.<br />
And anyone who knows me knows I believe I was divinely healed with natural properties that the Almighty Creator has placed on this earth for our benefit.<br />
<br />
Nice to visit with you, Jackie.  Glad to see the group is still intact.  Good health to each of you in the coming year.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Lois -  Good to see you posting and thanks for your input. More than distressing.<br />
<br />
And, thanks also, Pavan, for that link.  I&#039;ll spend time reading.  I rely on a variety<br />
of the more &#039;sophisticated&#039; supplements so I&#039;m obviously interested and concerned,<br />
but if they turn supplements into Rx/pharma and, if they are affordable, I assume <br />
that,  at least,  they would be available via a Functional Medicine practitioner script.<br />
If you see more on this, let me know.  Appreciate your input.<br />
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Jackie, glad I caught your post.  Not surprised. Remember when they removed NAC from Amazon? My retailer of chose has a board medical doctors and other professionals in Functional Medicine, etc.  Since they provide research and studies on applying supplements of illnesses and diseases, I think we are secure.  I did ask regarding ingredients that may come from China and was told by customer service that only when the ingredients can&#039;t be secured in the US, etc.<br />
