FDA wants to regulate your herbal supplements

[Guest guest]

I'm new to the group and I found out this information this weekend. I have a

blog, but I'm not trying to advertise it. What I found out this week makes me

very angry with the government.

 

Normally, I don't want to talk about anything except herbs and their uses. But I

feel that I have to speak out about this. I'm angry that there are people in the

government that are trying to tell me what to take. They are trying to keep a

lid on it and not let you know until the cost of your supplements doubles or

even becomes unavailable. The pharmaceutical companies are starting to complain

about their loss in revenue due to the rise in popularity of herbal supplements.

Now, I don't know about anybody else, and I won't speak for anyone else either.

That being said, I think that it is time for governmental agencies to stay out

of things that aren't any of their business. I am 66 years old and I am way too

old for a babysitter. If <strong>I</strong> choose to take an herbal product, I

don't need <strong>anyone</strong> to tell me whether I should or shouldn't.

Now granted, there are many people that would take advantage and try to sell an

inferior product in order to make money. That's true in <strong>every</strong>

industry. But, it up to us to do out own research and deal with reputable

companies. I don't want to pay more for my supplements, and I definitely don't

want somebody who takes money from a pharmaceutical company to tell me whether

or not I can take what I want for my body and well being.

In Europe, their version of the FDA has done the same thing and they are now

regulating all of their herbal supplements. Consequently, the cost of their

supplements has nearly tripled. So what did the people do? They started to buy

their supplements from the U.S. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, and I promise

that I won't talk about anything political again, but this is important to me

and I just thought you should know what could happen in the near future.

Hi Grandma,

 

The problem here is that " the government " is too broad a term. It's not

Obama, and it probably isn't his Health and Human Services secretary.

Both are lay persons effectively, and they listen to their MD advisors,

who are brainwashed by Big Pharma and educationally handicapped by their

education at med school, and by med journals since then. All med

journals in this country are totally controlled by Big Pharma

advertising. None dare to write favorable articles or even " scientific "

information about anything except drugs.

 

It's the FDA and the CDC. Here's were the real problems are.

First of all, both are completely controlled by Big Pharma. The board

members who approve of new drugs are controlled by a majority on the

board that either work for Big Pharma or who are getting paid by Big

Pharma. This board controls the FDA completely, and that means that Big

Pharma gets what it wants.

 

Recently the CDC woman in charge of vaccines at the CDC changed jobs,

going over to a vaccine maker at a megadollar salary,presumably for

services rendered during this recent phony scare of a " manufactured "

virus called H1N1.

 

There are only a few members of Congress and the Senate who really know

about supplements and about Big Pharma, but theya re way outnumbered by

those who only think about re-election and Big Pharma hands out a lot of

needed re-electron money.

 

As is obvious, Big Pharma and their lobbies and control of MD's and the

FDA and the CDC that need to be blamed, and changed. The law that the

Supreme Court recently overturned makes it even harder for we who know

about supplements to keep them.

 

This newsletter and some others (including mine) all help to keep the

people informed. I've been shouting for years. Check out my website!
