Europeans’ right to use nutritional supplements is on the firing line

The European Union is generally considered to be an institution for preventing future wars in Europe, and for enhancing the economies of the participating countries. On the other hand, the EU is a massive bureaucratic machine that could well destroy a great deal of Europeans’ personal freedom. A case in point is the current fight over nutritional supplements. The EU bureaucracy, strongly under the influence of the medical cartel, has issued a directive to ban large numbers of nutritional supplements in 2005. Opponents of the EU’s directive are going to court to try to preserve the rights of individuals to choose their health products for themselves.

People in the U.S. have learned that such rights are hard to preserve and, once lost, are very difficult to reassert. The U.S., too, has a huge political bureaucracy that uses its propaganda machine to get the public to go along with a totalitarian agenda. During the 20th Century the U.S. government destroyed people’s free access to numerous drugs and it is constantly working to make more and more substances illegal. Nutritional supplements are now on the firing line both here and in Europe.
