Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin companies here: http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html
Pyridoxamine occurs naturally in fish, chicken and other foods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6), putting the FDA in the strange position of banning a substance from dietary supplements even though it is already present in the food supply.
The FDA's war on Mother Nature
It's not the first time the FDA has declared a natural molecule to be a "drug" while attacking nutritional supplements that contain the same molecule. A similar story unfolded with red yeast rice and the lovastatin molecules it contains that lower high cholesterol. The drug companies engaged in biopiracy, ripping off the molecule from red yeast rice to make their now-famous "statin drugs." Once the statin drugs were patented, Big Pharma and the FDA went after red yeast rice, claiming the supplement was "adulterated with pharmaceuticals."
It wasn't really adulterated, of course. It just contained a natural statin-drug-like molecule that the drug companies copied and patented.
It would be like Big Pharma patenting vitamin C, then the FDA claiming that all oranges and lemons were adulterated with drugs because they naturally contain their own vitamin C.
This is the insanity of the FDA as it operates today. You can read more about the FDA on our channel webiste www.FDAreform.org which is updated every few days.
So will this ruling on pyridoxamine affect nutritional supplements? Yes, any supplements containing this form of vitamin B6 can now be declared "adulterated" by the FDA. Manufacturers of such supplements can be arrested and shut down for engaging in "illegal drug trafficking." Such is the nature of the FDA's agenda to criminalize nutritional supplement companies and limit consu

this is absolutely insane n very telling of the problems with american healthcare today all of the power n control has shifted from the physicians to the drug companies with lawyers takin advantage n patients gettin shafted
i mean healthcare in america is able to do a few certain things which other places cannot but its at the expense of an efficient system that has the potential to be so much better. regulation is good to a certain degree n keeps bad medicine in check but seriously the fda is a goddamn joke n nuthin but a corrupt body of bureaucracy

These fucking Nazi ASSHOLES at the FDA are an EMBARASSMENT to the country they so thinly pretend to serve. They do NOTHING for us, NOTHING, the don't protect us, the SELL US OUT! Taking naturally-occurring substances and ruling (??? who the FUCK gave them the power to tell you black was white???) that we can no longer imbibe in them to augment our health ourselves? That instead we have to pay some fucking Nazi-begun pharmaceutical giant like Merck or Phizer or Eli Lilly and put money into the pockets of the globalists who own and run them (G.H.W. Bush and his relatives and cronies) ... fucking FDA's goals are to make everyone POOR and STUPID. Why do you think they've removed anyones abilities to buy and use nootropics? Natural cancer and disease cures will rot and languish on the docks and vines, barred from entry into the same country that grows the plants they come from? FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS,!!
Where the fuck is the Messiah Obama when this shit happens?? WAKE UP AMERICA, there is an AGENDA out there that this is ONE SMALL THIN STRAND of, just ONE, getting you USED to and Complacent to accept some fucking faceless bullshit agency like the FDA making the ANNOUNCEMENT that "you may no longer use this because WE SAY SO" instead of standing up as a people and saying FUCK YOU you FUCKING FASCIST ASSHOLES.
goddamn am i pissed

And you know what? Instead of raising your eyebrow and saying "Gee, this guy's a real paranoid dick getting all upset about something like Vitamin B6 .. " I'd strongly reccommend reading about the subject .. and I can't off the top of my head think of a better book that summerizes and encapsulates all of the 'big picture' than Jim Marrs' recent "Rise of the Fourth Reich" ... You will get a GREAT perspective on "Big Pharmaceuticals" and the powers behind them. It's not some "conspiracy nut" book, either, it is researched, maticulously footnoted and cited. It'll make you angry and that's the point. Get Angry. You have many reasons to be. But with government-subsidied flouride in the water (the #1 ingredient in PROZAC is sodium flouride) and High Fructose Corn Syrup in everything we eat fattening everyone up, causeing diabetes and obesity (FDA banning High Fructose Corn Syrup any time soon?? Do you think??? NOOOOOO too much money in corn sales, who cares that it's killing Americans daily , from birth) or how about ASPARTAME, which breaks down into (among other things) FORMALDEHYDE and NEUROTOXINS in your body ... what the FUCK???!!!! and the fucking FDA Bans fucking ViTAMIN B6??
they fucking take existing statins source and BAN THE FOOD so they can SELL THE DRUG??? what the FUCK AMERICA??!!!!JESUS someone should hold Obama DOWN and MAKE HIM DO SOMETHING some time in the next 4 years before we're all a nation of fat retards. It's too late for me, I'm a #1 fat retard victim but for fuck's sake it shouldn't be too late for the majority. THIS is the same FDA that we're counting on acting like fucking human beings when it comes to Cannabis law reform? Medical marijuana for compassionate use? THIS FUCKING FDA??? Good Luck there ...

Its not amazing that existing copywrite laws that prevent one from "owning" something natural is superceded by this greed of big pharma......I wonder if heroin dealers can now also get in trouble for stealing proiffits from oxycontin dealers.........

Chipping away one vitamin at a time.
This bill should cause alarm for those who prefer to not "give their power away" to an authority that has no connection or knowledge of the individuals physical/mental/spiritual needs. It means if you feel that alternative therapies such as lifestyle, herbs, vitamins and food considerations are a better choice for you than pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines your doctors could be penalized by the government for not pushing pills onto you. More from this article at link above, you can also google the subject matter and see other related stories.

Codex Ailimentarius is coming. They will outlaw anything natural that will bring you health. They want us as food and vitamin slaves. The only thing companies understand is to suffer financial loss. That may be the only way to break them. It would however, require a mass consumer movement and boycott unlike any other undertaken and would have to span continents. Could it ever be pulled off?

I just googled "Health Benefits of Vitamin B6", there are many web sites to choose from, here is an example, more info at link above.
"Benefits: One may depend upon Vitamin B6 for most underlying reasons to maintain good health. Here is the list of benefits one may access through this vitamin:
Coenzyme Activities: Vitamin B6 is functional in working along with a number of enzyme systems in human body to make these enzymes work in desired manner. Thus, this close association between Vitamin B6 and enzymes helps to add significance to proper functioning of nervous system, in building up immunity and relieving from problems like arthritis.
Immune System: Vitamin B6 plays an important role in refurbishing the immune system of human body to the required level. This helps human body to withstand a number of infections, which easily victimize body in the absence of this important vitamin.
Metabolism: Vitamin B6 is admired for its capability to metabolize a number of nutrients to extract energy. Hence, one may look upon this vitamin for metabolism of fats, vitamins, carbohydrates and other important components like amino acids.
Premenstrual Syndrome: Vitamin B6 has a significant role to play in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome occurring in women. It happens that pyridoxine is in decreased supply during this period and thus, leads to moodiness, loss of sex drive and other problems. In this situation, intake of diet rich in Vitamin B6 is the most essential solution.
Hormone Control: Vitamin B6 is helpful in maintaining the level of hormones in human body, which helps n controlling the level of a number of activities and occurrences in human body.
Emotional Disorders: Vitamin B6 is responsible for treating a number of emotional disorders. The deficiency of this vitamin may affect the formation of hormones and unbalances the level of these hormones, which ultimately leads to emotional disturbances. Thus, intake of Vitamin B6 is necessary to control these hormones and treat emotional disorders.
Skin Conditions: One of the most significant benefits of Vitamin B6 is that it helps in maintaining good condition of human skin. It helps in treating a number of skin problems including eczema, dandruff, acne, hair loss and dry skin. More than that, it helps in treating serious skin diseases like melanoma and psoriasis.
Cardiac Diseases and Kidney Disorders: Vitamin B6 helps in controlling the level of fat to be deposited on human heart and thus, relieves it from a number of cardiac diseases. Apart from this, Vitamin B6 also helps to restrict the stone formation in kidneys, hence keeping this critical organ of human body in good shape.
Other Benefits: Apart from those mentioned above, Vitamin B6 is also helpful in treating other problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, anemia, arthritis and influenza. It also helps in treating problems like nausea, infertility and others, which become prominent during pregnancy." -

Another outrageous example by the FDA – Fraud & Deception Agency – of how important it is for consumers to fight for the right to obtain health benefiting vitamins, supplements, herbs, etc. that are harder to find in the mainstream food supply due to nutritional soil depletion through corporate agribusiness, once considered farming.
Instead, Big Pharma’s prescriptions are being crammed down everyone’s throats as fast as kickback-receiving doctors can write them up. I resent being told by my gov't that I'm not allowed to purchase a naturally occurring substance that I need to take on a daily basis because it has been patented-WTF?

Why take the supplement when you can eat these raw and get a decent amount: garlic, cauliflower, mustard greens, banana, celery, cabbage, crimini mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, kale, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, and chard. Unless of course, they plan on banning these foods.
Besides, it's the pyridoxamine as a supplement that they're going after. Just bypass the company making the supplement and eat a good dose of the produce above. -
Um, ok. Now can you say why you've decided to make pyridoxamine basically illegal to possess? You can't just claim something is a drug without scientific backing. What is the reason, FDA? I seem to remember something involving pyridoxamine with ADHD studies, so I am not really surprised. Way to go big, pharmaceutical America. You have another way to make a shit-ton of cash. Now you should patent carbohydrates and make them illegal. Maybe that would help with the obesity problem we kind of have going around...

Long standing policy of big business to buy up all possible competition. When GM ended its electric car program in 93, the cars were all recalled, shredded and the patent rights were sold to Chevron Oil.

This link will take you to a letter/petition Dr. Rima Laibow suggests signing... You can also sign on for her newsletter she sends out regularly - these freedom of choice for our health issues is a big one and will take many people to set it right again.
This is an excerpt from the link above:
" A Citizen’s Petition is a legal means to focus a government agency’s attention on an issue of concern to you. Once a Citizen’s Petition has been entered, a “docket” to debate is opened and public comment is accepted. A Citizen’s Petition does have one thing in common with the more familiar ones, though. Any number of people can add their names to it and become co-petitioners.The current pro-Codex Alimentarius policy of the U.S. Codex Office is in violation of U.S. law. With our Citizen’s Petition, we are asking the U.S. government to change its policy on Codex Alimentarius to comply with U.S. law.
The Natural Solutions Foundation Citizen’s Petition is a ground-breaking legal approach to compel the US Government to amend its Codex Policies, hold public hearings and move from a pro-illness Codex position to a pro-health one.
If we don’t like the response, the law allows us to proceed to court.
So far, about 30,000+ people have joined our petition. And what’s more, three members of Congress have written a Congressional Letter in support of our Citizen’s Petition.
You will be sending this letter to the US Codex Manager, Dr. Edwin Scarbrough, and Dr. Barbara Schneeman, Head of the FDA’s Office of Nutritional Products."
