Dr. Bernard Rimland, Director of the Autism Research Center, has sent the Feingold Association the following plea which affects all of us, not just those families having a child with autism:
He writes:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) falsely claims there are
no effective treatments for autism, despite the thousands of parents
and physicians who can document great improvements in autistic
children who have been given various perfectly safe nutritional
supplements. There are, for example, twenty research studies on
vitamin B6 and magnesium, published by researchers in six
countries, which show significant improvement and no harm, in
autistic children given B6 and magnesium.
The FDA has for decades tried to suppress your right to purchase
and use vitamins, so that you will be compelled to purchase
harmful and expensive prescription drugs instead.
Please read the letter from the American Association for Health
Freedom located at www.autism.com/SenateBill , and then write,
phone, and/or visit your U.S. Senators to urge them to vote against
Senate Bill S. 722 ("the Dietary Supplement Safety Act"). A
suggested form letter to write to your Senator and the names and
phone numbers of all U.S. Senators is also located at this website.
If this bill becomes law, say goodbye to your right to help your
child and yourself with nutritional supplements.
