2. Bringing New Natural Products to Market

Presenter: Ralph Fucetola JD
Live Webinar: May 10, 2009 - Noon EDT
Registration: www.VitalConnectionUniversity.com
Tuition: $199.99

What does it take to bring a new natural product to market? How does a product qualify as a Certified Friendly Food? What types of claims can be made for natural products? What are the pitfalls and opportunities? Includes an eBook containing the full slide text and copies of forms and formats for SOPs, SUS, and more.

“Your papers must be in order.”

Are your ingredients “grandfathered” under DSHEA?
Have you filed your Structure and Function Claims Notices with FDA?
Do you have your SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)?
Is your web site Site Use Statement up-to-date?
Is your Substantiation Notebook ready?

You must be better organized before the FDA inspection!

Just last month the FDA’s Dietary Supplement program manager told Expo West, to paraphrase his statement, “that FDA is about to receive much more money and will be able to saturate the field with inspectors… a large increase in our force out there… largest supplements firms shouldn’t have a problem funding, but some mom and pop operations will be lost… recommends that small firms band together so the new rules don’t break their backs…"

Health Freedom and Self-Care in a Pandemic Crisis

Government and the "bigs" in the nutrient industry are raising a "hew and cry" against natural remedies during the current engineered "pandemic" panic.

UPDATE: First published: o5/29/09 - additional updates following.
White Paper on Self-Quarantine and Self-Shielding
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2752

"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are warning consumers to stay away from supplements that claim to treat or prevent swine flu, and say they will take aggressive action against companies attempting to benefit from the public health emergency.

"US dietary supplement trade associations have also grouped together to issue a joint warning against such products, and to urge their member companies to refuse to stock or sell them.

"... The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the Natural Products Association (NPA) and United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) said in an advisory:

“'Marketers and retailers of dietary supplements are urged to refuse to stock or sell any supplements that are presented as treating or curing swine flu, and marketers and retailers should refrain from promoting any dietary supplement as a cure or treatment for swine flu.'...”

This article points out a primary differentiation between the "industry" and health freedom advocates. Good doctors know, as Dr. Ron Paul recently stated: hygiene, rest, sun and good nutrition are the best protection against any pandemic - see Dr. Paul on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ty73YK8e0U&

Unlike the industry spokespeople who are willing to pander to the misconceptions of govt and its academics, courageous healthcare practitioners are ready to tell people about the historic links between poor hygiene, suppressed immunity, insufficient nutrition -- and let us add, devastated environments (such as Mexico City) and pandemic outbreaks.

See Dr. Laibow's article at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2659

Since the govt can neither prevent nor contain pandemics, everyone must become sufficiently knowledgeable to engage in meaningful self-care!

PS - also take a look at the Natural Solutions' Vital Connection Webinar series; we are doing three Webinars this week:
