what the…?

I just received the following email and am most baffled. Might this actually be true? I know I have vast and fabulous legions of unshaven, patchouli-drenched, tantric-fucking, water-birthing, tandem-breastfeeding, baby-wearing, yarn-spinning, sage-burning, circle-casting, mugwort-applying, Rescue Remedy-guzzling, belladonna-prescribing, craniosacral-manipulating, Trader Joe’s-shopping, co-op-belonging, gluten-banishing, chickpea-mashing, tahini-gobbling, Ani-loving, hemp-promoting, dread-lock-twisting, own-cavity-filling hippies and crunchy alternative healthcare practitioners on my friends list who might know something regarding this matter.

Can this actually be?

FDA tyranny! Help stop it.

Subject: Comments on FDA Guidance for CAM Products and Regulation

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.

Bad? Real Bad! But public outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom.

Spread the word! Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence, professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies, everyone! Let them know how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

Please share this link with them and urge them to take action: http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc

Yours in health and freedom,

About muffybolding

Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
