Federal Govt. Warns Dr. Weil About Supplement Recommendation

As reported on the NaturalNews website by Mike Adams, the self-named Health Ranger, the feds are threatening legal action against Andrew Weil, a prominent MD (and frequent Larry King guest) who also supports some natural remedies, simply for recommending the herb astragulus. Adams adds the following:
When true statements about botany are outlawed, and the only statements allowed to be made about H1N1 flu protection are based on profit-driven lies, and the very leaders who try to help the People (like Dr. Weil) are threatened with being arrested as criminals and having their companies shut down at gunpoint, that's when you know you live in a "1984"-style medical police state.

For all those who voted for Obama, by the way, keep in mind this criminal FDA racket continues to operate in full swing under the Obama administration, just as it did under the Bush Administration. Sadly, Obama has done absolutely nothing to halt the tyranny against natural product companies. In fact, under Obama, this action has been accelerated by the FTC and FDA. It's worse now than ever before, and with Big Government getting even bigger -- and more lawmakers calling for increased FDA funding -- this problem is only bound to get worse.

As we've blogged previously, "heathcare" is more than just about drugs and surgery.

Swedish Court Upholds Charges Against Animal Rights Activist

Sweden's high court establishes a legal precedent for protection of the workplace in that country:
Sweden's Supreme Court has upheld a landmark ruling in which a 30-year-old animal rights activist was convicted for his involvement in storming the premises of four companies and harassing members of staff.
The 30-year-old Malmö resident was sentenced on charges of aggravated unlawful entry by the Swedish Supreme Court.
