“When the American Association for Health Freedom first heard rumblings in the spring about a compounding bill being written by Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) … we knew we could have a battle on our hands. … We then got a look at the so-called Safe Drug Compounding Act of 2007 and we knew it was a battle that we would need to win. … When AAHF went in representing patients and practitioners, we were able to have a positive influence in blocking this bad legislation (Click here to read more about the bill.). Among other things, the so-called Safe Drug Compounding Act of 2007 would give the Food and Drug Administration the power to: * Broadly eliminate the availability of many critical, commonly compounded medications that many patients rely on, such as bioidentical hormones for women, hospice care treatments for the terminally ill and customized medicines for children. * Determine when compounded medicines are needed — a decision that has always been and should always be made by doctors. * Restrict the compounded medications your doctor can prescribe even if he or she determines you need them.” (posted 12/04/07)
