With all this talk about people being like penguins, I am very encouraged by the many people who are awake and always educating themselves. There are a lot of them.

Being in the position of publishing natural health support references, I get to have contact with these types of people all the time and it's encouraging. Most of them are small health business owners and they are not passive about their customers. They know they're not getting rich in this business. It's really about helping people.

My hat goes off to those who live this kind of life and are certainly not apathetic.

I do hope, however, that we can all make a little time for attempting to get the government back in line.

I am disgusted with the recent ban on ephedra products and the coverup behind it. I am frustrated not only with the lies about this awesome supplement, but the hypocrisy in that only the natural ephedra products are banned. The patented artificial duplicates are still legal. I guess only the pharmaceutical companies are worthy to sell this "dangerous" product. Guess we still need to follow the money.

If you're not familiar with this subject, please take time to read this book. It's about a lot more than ephedra:

Ephedra: Fact or Fiction

With as many times as the government has attempted to remove natural supplements from our nation, it's encouraging how well the people have resisted.

I hope people will be willing to make an effort to reverse this ridiculous ban which is based on contrived circumstances. This ban is only a first step in the fight to remove all supplements from us. If this monopolistic activity is allowed to continue, this nation will never get well.
