Consumers Urged to Take Action to Stop the White House from Blocking Access to Low Cost Medicine from Pharmacies Abroad

White Plains, NY (PRWEB) April 5, 2011

PharmacyChecker.com, the leading evaluator of international online pharmacies, launched an advocacy initiative today rallying Americans to stop efforts by the White House Office of the Intellectual Property Rights Coordinator (IPEC) that may block Americans from accessing Canadian and other safe international online pharmacies. IPECs activities have received little public notice but should concern many Americans.

At a time when record numbers of Americans cannot afford prescription medicine, why is the White House trying to make the situation worse? asked Tod Cooperman, M.D., President and Founder of PharmacyChecker.com. He noted, Research shows that drugs ordered online from properly verified pharmacies in many countries, such as Canada, are just as genuine and safe as those in the U.S., but their prices are lower. There are also rogues that sell counterfeits. Unfortunately, rather than focus on the counterfeiters, the White Houses IP czar is looking to block all non-U.S. online pharmacies and force Americans to pay top-dollar for their medicines. We want the White House to stop taking cues from the pharmaceutical industry and start listening to the people.

The letter (which individuals can send to President Obama and their congressional representatives reads:

"I ask that you do what is in your power to stop a misguided campaign by the White House Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (the "IP czar") to block Americans from buying their medicines online from reputable pharmacies in countries where they can be obtained at much lower cost, often 50% to 80% less than in the U.S. Such actions can make it impossible for many Americans to afford and obtain medications. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a record 25 million Americans do not take their medication due to cost, and a Harvard study shows that 120 million Americans are struggling to afford their medication.1,2

"In her recent report (http://www.cybercrime.gov/ipecreport2010.pdf) to the President and Congress, the IP czar, Victoria A. Espinel, cites (on pages 28 and 29) vague "health and safety issues," to pressure search engines, domain registrars, credit card companies and others to assist in its apparent crackdown on all non-U.S. online pharmacies that serve Americans. This plan was hatched by a pharmaceutical company-sponsored group and submitted to the IP czar in March 2010.3 The truth is that independent research (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2921371/) shows that properly credentialed international online pharmacies are just as safe as those in the U.S., and their drugs are just as authentic. Even the FDA, which is responsible for health and safety issues, rarely interferes with consumers buying their medicine (other than controlled substances) from abroad, even though personal drug importation is technically not legal.

"The strategy of the IP czar appears to target any pharmacy not on a "White List" being developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, which excludes every non-U.S. online pharmacy, considering them all "rogue" regardless of their credentials or the authenticity of their products.4 A year ago, one could find advertisements for Canadian pharmacies on major search engines. Following government and pharmaceutical industry pressure, they are now blocked -- an action applauded by the IP czar.

"Reputable international pharmacies sell only up to a three-month supply of medication for personal use based on a prescription -- certainly not a threat to our domestic drug supply and not relevant to the IP czar's claim that her actions are meant to "secure our supply chain."

"Show us that you care. Make sure that the IP czar and all federal agencies focus their efforts only on dangerous online pharmacies and fake medications. Tell the IP czar not to block Americans from getting safe, genuine, and affordable medicine from online pharmacies in Canada and other countries."

Americans can send this letter to the President and members of Congress from the advocacy area on PharmacyChecker.com at http://action.pharmacychecker.com/4199/stop-white-house-from-blocking-access-to-low-cost-medicine/.

A free consumer guide, How to Save Money on Prescription Medications, Safely is also available, as is a blog focused on online pharmacy news and topics. Americans can take additional action through RxRights.org, a national coalition dedicated to raising awareness and spurring action around safe prescription drug importation.

PharmacyChecker.com helps Americans find the best drug prices from verified online pharmacies. PharmacyChecker.coms independent pharmacy ratings and drug price comparisons are free to consumers. PharmacyChecker.com, founded in 2002, is a privately held company based in New York with no ownership in or from companies that sell or distribute pharmacy products.

HarvestMark

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

In todays digitally connected world, consumers can access any information they seek in an instant. With the introduction of the HarvestMark Food Traceability App from YottaMark, Inc., consumers can now enjoy instant access to information about the fresh food in their fridge or shopping cart, such as when, where and how it was grown. For the first time, shoppers can find out the food safety status of fresh food that carries a HarvestMark code, connect to the farmer and keep a history of the food theyve traced.

Todays shoppers want to know their food is fresh and safe, and where its from, said J. Scott Carr, CEO of YottaMark. And they want this information instantaneously with the simple scan of a smartphone. We are pleased to introduce the newest HarvestMark Food Traceability App, which is the first to empower shoppers with harvest, freshness and safety information about the food they eat. Were proud to work with over 3,000 farms and ranches, from Canada to Argentina, to provide this important information to shoppers.

To trace food, shoppers simply download the free HarvestMark App for iPhone, look for the 16-digit HarvestMark code on participating fruit, vegetable and poultry brands, and scan or type the code to instantly retrieve harvest information specific to the package of food theyre holding. Shoppers can also ask questions and give feedback to the people who grow and sell their food using the new Talk to the Farmer feature, which connects them with the source of their food. In addition, customers can rely on the Food Safety Notification feature, which updates a foods safety status to provide an immediate line of communication to the shopper in the event of a recall.

We know how important it is to our customers that they learn as much as they can about the foods they choose to buy and eat, said Matt Mandel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SunFed. By featuring HarvestMark on our melon, including cantaloupe, we are proud to provide customers with the information they seek to give them peace of mind when buying healthy food for their families.

HarvestMark is the fresh food traceability platform from California-based YottaMark, Inc. Thousands of farms in the US, Canada, Mexico, and South America use HarvestMark traceability to connect the field to the kitchen, letting shoppers know when, where and how their food was grown. To date, more than three billion packages of food have been made traceable with HarvestMark.

HarvestMark traceability can be found at thousands of grocery stores across the United States and Canada, on brands including chicken from Coleman Natural
