Keeping Up With The Estriol Controversy-Let the Representatives Know

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Alert: Please Call Your Members of Congress! Ask Them to Support the Resolution to Protect Women’s Access to Estriol!

 

Dear robert,

As you may know, a bipartisan Congressional resolution was introduced earlier this month that raises concern over the recent move by FDA to restrict the use of estriol in compounded hormones.

At the end of this month, hundreds of pharmacists, patients and doctors will go in person to visit their members of Congress in Washington, D.C. during IACP’s annual conference and Compounders on Capitol Hill.  As this event approaches at the end of this month, we want you to get involved even if you can’t attend!

You can make a huge difference simply by getting on the phone to Congress!  Phone calls from you let your members of Congress know that this issue is important in their district and set the stage for a favorable response to the in-person visits in Washington, D.C

While many of you have already written letters, we still need your help—and a phone call is the best way to get their attention!

PLEASE CALL YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR H. CON. RES. 342!  The resolution calls the FDA’s policy “improper” and urges its reversal. To see a copy of the resolution and follow its progress, click here.

Making a phone call is easy.  Click here for phone numbers and instructions on how to reach your members of Congress, as well as suggested talking points telling them: Protect My Access to BHRT and Sponsor H. Con. Res. 342!

Thank you for your continuing support in the fight to preserve vital options in women’s health!

Sincerely,
P2C2

Families Make Case for Vaccine Link to Autism

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Today the AP came out with an article of families going to court today as their attorneys will attempt to show that the mercury-based preservative, thimerosol, triggers symptoms of autism.

This shall be interesting as it plays out.

Yes we feel mercury can be the straw that breaks the camels back, though there are other issues to be concerned about as well, such as: what are they replacing it with, what other contaminants lie in the vaccines, and the pathogenic components of the vaccines themselves that are supposed to give “immunity.” 

What I am trying to say is that even FREE of mercury, vaccines are not yet proven to be safe nor effective.

Another thing about this article is another example the biased media takes in interviewing a “credible” expert.

In this case it is Dr. Paul Offit,—WHAT A JOKE!

This guy who is as pro vaccine as they come, a darling to the media via Larry King and others, and director of the Vaccine Education Center at The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. 

If you look him up on Wikepedia or any other research you will find like many other vaccine medical proponents he owns patents on vaccines (yes he profits BIG TIME).

UPDATE: U.S. HOUSE RESOLUTION DEEMS FDA’s POLICY ON ESTRIOL “NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST”

Tell your members of Congress:

Support the Resolution to Protect Women’s Access to BHRT!

U.S. House Representatives Mike Ross (D-Ark.) and Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.) introduced a bipartisan Sense of the Congress resolution yesterday to counter the efforts of the FDA and Wyeth against compounded bio-identical hormones that contain estriol. H. Con. Res. 342 raises serious concern over the recent move by FDA to ban the use of estriol, and asks for its reversal. Reps. Ross and Emerson were joined by fellow Representatives: Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Michael Burgess (R-Texas), John Carter (R-Texas), Sam Farr (D-Calif.) and Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

This is a HUGE step in the right direction!

The resolution also calls on the need of FDA to “respect the physician-patient relationship” and recognizes that doctors, not the FDA, are in the best position to “determine which medications are appropriate for their patients.” It also points out that the “FDA has acknowledged that it is unaware of any adverse events” associated with the use of estriol over the past three decades. To see a copy of the resolution and follow its progress, click here.

We applaud the thousands of you who have written letters to your members of Congress already on this issue… but even if you have already written to your members of Congress, WE NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN!

CLICK HERE today to tell your members of Congress: Protect My Access to BHRT and Sponsor H. Con. Res. 342!
