The FDA or Food and Drug Administration: I read this this morning and became so angry I devoted a blog to it.
I read this this morning and became so angry I devoted a blog to it.
I read the article that follows "My Opinion on the FDA" and got so angry I devoted a whole website to it.
My Opinion on the FDA
They are as bad as the smoke spoken words coming out of a thug’s mouth.
If I were President the FDA would be denied all funding and dissolved. Drug companies would have to be more responsible or face bankrupting lawsuits. What is a human life worth to them they will have to ask themselves more objectively!
When I read what the FDA wants to do I thought, “If this happens we can refuse to pay taxes.”
The reason they want to ban these is not to protect us but to protect the satanic of wealth creation.
The FDA wants to do this because some people, like me, are able to thwart psychiatry by taking supplements. And the great secret of psychiatry is that they have stolen souls and skills!!!!! This is not the country or the principals it was founded on. The last thing that they banned was L tryptophan; they brought it back when nonlethal subliminal based weapons of antagonism were developed. Why did they ban tryptophan? Because when a person is relaxed and happy their soul is raptured from those who stole it!!! Sure they will say there was a contaminated batch that killed people. But they didn’t take Tylenol off the market for that long. They have not taken cigarettes off the market. And they have never used their power against alcohol.
What happens when their victims thwart psychiatry? They realize that they are not the people they thought that they were and become miserable with themselves! What you will see them speak with is the same spoiled mouth they were born with.
I cannot tell you how many times a mega dose of vitamin c has kept me from going to the doctor.
The FDA will not ban cigarettes but they will ban something the highly educated consumer can buy. The FDA dragged its crooked foot on this one for years before finally getting the strength to stand up to capitalism and say we’ll put horrific images on the boxes of cigarettes. Who needs some punk blowing cancerous smoke in your face when you go out for a walk in the fresh air? FDA, thanks for looking out for me a well-educated good honest citizen of the United States. I can see how confident and what a strong stance that you have always taken for the health and welfare of the people of the United States. If I was a Jew and an FDA official blew cancerous smoke in my face I would think, “You might as well put me in a deadly gas chamber!” In other words I would be angry as all hell as I am now.
Your average pharmaceutical salesman has the equivalent intelligence of a high school drug dealer. And they make over six figures a year! The whole industry is about, “Who can I give a high paying job to so that they can be well off.” - “How about that dolt who is like me that my daughter wants to marry!”
I grew up and live in Whitefish Bay Wisconsin the most affluent suburb of Wisconsin and I know exactly who I am talking about. And I also know that the high school idiot became a psychologist, etc.
My father was on ant cholesterol drugs for what seemed like 30 years, and he still ended up with a calcified heart valve. Yes the doctors were very careful not to call it a heart that was clogged with cholesterol it was instead semantically called a calcified heart valve. Oh and they did not need to take a biopsy to know this, as the ‘broad spectrum term’ they used to describe what was wrong covered them for liability. What was my father like for the years he was on ant cholesterol drugs, he had no memory. Who does this favor, a person not having any memory? If you are familiar with anything I have written you will know this favors the soulless satanic race of wealth creation that lives of the stolen minds of others.
For all the Pill Pushing by the FDA our latest generation is going to be the first that is predicted to not live as long as the prior ones, due to diseases the FDA approved drugs for!!! The FDA has had no stance on the foods on the grocery shelve or fast food. This weak kneed tax draining organization is never going to tell me what to do and nor should they you. Why not? Because the evidence is clearly in against them that they have betrayed the public trust. Keep it up, and you will end up like all the others who challenged the fundamentals of freedom of the United States of America.
I am wondering how many of us get sick from medicine that is in our drinking water. When has the FDA ever even thought of regulating our drinking water? The most fundamental input for life!!!
PS. If I make grammatical errors it is because I have very little time for this, so just read it as if you are intelligent and can find mistakes. I received the following email this morning and agree with it. It is an Advertisement for Advanced Bionutritionals. I know absolutely nothing about the company so I cannot endorse their products, although I do endorse in its entirety what this man has written below! And I would encourage you to contact your congressman. The letter was meant to be distributed and I agree with it. I do not know the man nor does he know me.
"From the Desk of Garret Wood This is the most serious message I've ever had to write to you.
Why? Because the FDA has issued new rules that, if enacted, will enable them to ban many of the supplements you are now taking. Think I'm exaggerating? Then please listen to the full story ...
Back in the early 1990s, the FDA tried to make many supplements illegal. Consumers were so alarmed by the FDA's bullying that they staged a massive revolt. The result was that Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). That law protected supplements from the FDA unless the FDA could prove a supplement wasn't safe. There was, however, a loophole in the 1994 law. The FDA was given the authority to regulate new ingredients introduced after October 15, 1994.
And that's been a good thing. Because for 17 years, the dietary supplement industry has enjoyed tremendous innovation. These innovations have allowed us to extract and concentrate the most effective natural ingredients. As a result, millions of consumers have benefitted. They've protected their hearts and arteries ... found relief from their joint pain ... boosted their memory ... and more. And during this time, supplements have enjoyed a remarkable safety record. Statistics show that supplements are safer than prescription drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and even food! According to the Poison Control Centers, there were zero deaths due to supplements in 2008. In 2009, there was one. Meanwhile, pathogens like E. coli in food kill at least 2,000 people each year. Acetaminophen in drugs like Tylenol kills 450 people every year. And more powerful prescription drugs kill many more. Even the FDA now says Vioxx likely killed over 26,000 people before they finally took it off the market! Supplements the FDA Wants to Ban But now the FDA wants to act like the last 17 years never happened. The agency has drafted a proposal to regulate what it calls New Dietary Ingredients. If this proposal is implemented, some of the most effective nutrients you take will be pulled from the market. Nutrients like resveratrol ... ubiquinol CoQ10 ... bacopa ... strontium ... and more. But that's not all. Under these guidelines, the FDA can define almost anything as a "new" dietary ingredient. For example:
· If a supplement includes more of an ingredient than was used 17 years ago — even something like vitamin C — it's "new." · If an ingredient uses a different extraction process — like baking or fermentation — it's "new." · If a supplement uses an ingredient at a different "life stage" — such as using ripe rather than non-ripe apples — it's "new." · If a supplement duplicates an ingredient in a laboratory rather than extracting it from the food — even though it's chemically identical — it's "new." · And if a probiotic formula includes a strain of bacteria that wasn't found in yogurt 17 years ago, it's "new." So what would happen to all these "new" ingredients? The manufacturers would have to take them off the market until they could prove the ingredients are safe — even if those ingredients have been safely used for 17 years! Why It's Nearly Impossible to Comply What kind of proof is the FDA demanding? According to the guidelines, many companies would have to conduct animal studies using a dosage that's 1,000 times the typical dose. I'm not kidding you. It's right there in black and white on the FDA's website. The FDA wants vitamin makers to do studies for a full year, at 1,000 times the typical dose. So a fish-oil manufacturer would have to conduct a one-year study where animals are force-fed the human equivalent of 240,000 milligrams of fish oil each and every day! This outlandish dose would injure the animals and give the FDA an excuse to outlaw the product.
But wait, it gets even better. If one fish-oil manufacturer performs such a study and it passes, it doesn't mean the other fish-oil makers can use the same data. No sir. They are still required to go out and do their own studies before they're allowed to sell their product. And these studies are very expensive. A study like the one above typically costs about $100,000-$200,000 to perform. Multiply that by several ingredients in several products, and you get an idea of the cost. Say a company carries 6 products containing 6 ingredients each. It would cost between $3.6 and $7.2 million in studies before that company could even offer the products for sale. For a larger company offering 50 products or more, the costs would be astronomical.
Few supplement makers will be able to afford these studies, and many will be put out of business. And the ones that remain would still be at the mercy of the FDA's whim. That's because there are no requirements for the FDA to approve anything. They can approve or reject anything they want. And in the past, they have rejected the majority of ingredients submitted to them. That means most of the nutrients you buy today will be pulled from the market and never return. Those that do return will be a lot more expensive — or may only be available as prescription drugs!
A Blatant Abuse of Power This is a blatant abuse of power. What the FDA is doing here is performing an end-run around the existing law. According to the law, the FDA has to prove a dietary supplement is unsafe for it to be taken off the market. These new guidelines turn that on its head. They are clearly not what Congress intended.
Fortunately, these FDA guidelines have not yet been finalized. All federal agencies are required to give the public an opportunity to comment on a draft before it is made final. In this case, the FDA has given interested parties until December 1st to comment on the draft. That means there's a small window of opportunity for you to voice your disapproval. Frankly, I wouldn't bother commenting to the FDA. The process is cumbersome, and those unelected bureaucrats don't care what you think anyway.
What You Can Do The best way to defeat these new rules is to talk to the people you do elect — your congressman and your two U.S. senators. They have the power to reign in the FDA — and they have done so in the past when enough voters complained.
Back in the 1970s, the FDA tried to require "warning labels" on vitamins. Angry voters called and wrote letters, and Congress responded with the Proxmire Amendments which limited the FDA's power. Then in the 1990s, the FDA went on the warpath again. When voters complained, Congress passed the Dietary Health Supplement Education Act, which once again limited the FDA's power. But like a monster killed in a horror movie, the FDA keeps coming back. And so once again, it's time for us to step up and call the folks who rely on our votes. Here's what you need to do:
Go to http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml and look up the phone numbers of your U.S. Senators and your Representative (congressman). Then give them a call.
Hello, my name is [name] and I am a constituent of [name of Senator or Representative].
1. Supplements have an unrivaled safety record. Statistics show they're safer than drugs, safer than medical devices, safer than cosmetics, and even safer than food. 2. The FDA cannot define New Dietary Ingredients so broadly. According to these guidelines, almost everything is a New Dietary Ingredient. This will strangle innovation and deprive consumers of the supplements they depend on for their health. 3. The FDA did nothing about new dietary ingredients for 17 years. Now they want to wipe out 17 years' worth of innovation and 17 years' worth of benefits to the consumer. 4. When the Dietary Health Supplement Education Act was passed, Congress intended a simple notification process for new dietary ingredients. The FDA is turning this into a pre-approval scheme, which goes against the intent of the law. 5. The FDA already has ample regulatory authority to take action against a product if it's unsafe. They don't need to have this pre-approval power, too. 6. These could be disastrous to public health. At a time when preventative measures are even more important to health care costs, the FDA is limiting access to preventative health care. 7. The cost of complying with these guidelines would be astronomical. Experts estimate that the studies required would cost between $100,000 and $200,000 per ingredient notification. That adds up to millions of dollars per supplement company. Smaller companies would not be able to afford this and would go out of business. The economy is already hurting and we have high unemployment. Experts estimate that this could cost the economy tens of billions of dollars and result in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. 8. The government's resources are already stretched. We have record budget deficits and record debt. Why enact more regulations when there are no safety issues here? I request that Congress direct the FDA to carefully review their draft guidance. If they do not amend the guidance to reflect my concerns, I request that Congress call hearings at the end of the review process. I also call on Congress to write legislation that would "grandfather" all supplements currently on the market. Thank you for your time.
After the phone call, send a letter to your senators and reps, making the same points. Make sure the letter is in your own words (form letters tend not to work as well). You can find the e-mail and physical addresses at the same website, http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml.
Then send the same letter to President Obama. (His address and phone number are on the website, too.)
Please, please, please don't make the mistake of thinking that the FDA won't take your supplements away. Similar regulations were passed in other countries, and the result was disastrous. Many supplements were taken off the market forever. In some instances, the entire supplement industry was decimated. Don't let that happen here.
Take action now! You only have a small window of opportunity to make your voice heard. Get started by going to http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml.
