There is a crisis in health freedom. On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden

Discussion of the guidance can be found at FDA.gov
Among the things I read there: the guidance "does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public." It's a guidance. From what I read, it spells out what is and what isn't regulated under the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act. The guidance does not change any law or regulation. It is a document that clarifies laws that already exist.

I don't see much to be gained from a petition against an explanation, other than as publicity for HealthFreedomUSA.
