Marsha's posts yesterday really underscore the importance of this post that
Gail made on 10/18. Maybe this is a place to start. There isn't much time
left!

---------------------
In response to the information posted from Mercola's website, I did a bit
more digging.  The information mentioned is in draft form and in a sixty
day comment period as developed by the Office of the Inspector General and
posted in the Federal Register Vol 67, No. 192/Thursday, October 3, 2002.
Comments must be received by 5 p.m. December 2, 2002. Please use this link
to obtain the draft info.  http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/complianceguidance.html

This is a real opportunity for all breastfeeding coalitions, LaLeche
League, ILCA and other supportive parties to respond.  All written comments
become information of public record.  We need to make sure that infant
formula is covered by this guidance piece to pharmacies.  There are places
that reference pharmaceutical products and other places that reference
drugs.

I have not had time to critically read the guidance piece in its entirety.
Keep in mind that comments must be mailed and received by December 2,
2002.  Faxed comments are not accepted.
