Big Pharma's Lunatic FDA Says Cherries Are Now DRUGS

Jeff - Here's something interesting: according to the FDA, cherries

are now drugs.

 

I've been looking into tart cherry juice concentrates today. I've

found that there is one type that contains all sorts of natural

antioxidants, plus a bunch of other good stuff, including melatonin

and more. This type of cherry is called the Montmorency cherry.

 

People are taking the concentrate or eating the cherries for pain

which about 2/3 of the US now has due to fluoride poisoning...and

those savvy to the cherry benefits are discontinuing prescription

drugs as a result. They're claiming it's also healing all sorts of

things, including cancers, gout, arthritis.

 

Looking closer, nearly all of the many companies I looked into this

afternoon have received WARNING letters from the FDA stating that

because of their claims about the healing properties of tart

cherries, the cherry juice and/or cherries are therefore considered

to be a " drug, " and the vendors must file a " New Drug Application. "

What crap is this!!!!!!!!

 

Big pharma must be very, very scared about tart cherry juice. I am,

therefore, going to order some right away.

 

Here are two examples of FDA letters - note that they specifically

cited the suggestion that the consumer can stop taking prescriptions

if they will begin taking tart cherries in some form.

 

Anyway, it appears that as long as food is empty of all nutrients,

then it is " food " - but if it has any health-promoting nutrients or

benefits at all, then it is considered a new drug in the US, hence

a " New Drug Application " must be made.

Here's the list of all of them, dated 2005. The firms are all still

advertising the same health benefits on their sites, so I guess

they've given the FDA a Bronx raspberry re the Montmorency cherry

scandal.
