HERE'S WHAT I THINK

 

The FDA is useless, even dangerous...

The FDA, in my opinion, is a perfect-way-to-waste-your-tax-money administration.

Do you believe that the FDA is really doing their job? Would place your health and more importantly, your children's health in an association with such bad track records?

I'm sure you've heard the many drug withdrawals and the people who died from them.

The FDA is so wrong on so many of the health issues today... it will take a whole book to list them all.

For example, they made a law that says only a drug can cure a disease. They then go on and define all kinds diseases (which is why you always see all kinds of new disease name). In effect, if you do develop a disease because you lack vitamin C, someone come up to you and suggests vitamin C is a cure to your disease, the guy is actually breaking the law... punishable with jail time.

That's just dumb. Common sense would tell you that if you develop a disease due to a lack of vitamin C, then supplementing vitamin C would *at least* be every useful to your condition, and in most cases, cure you.

It's not just negligence... it's a cover-up! But instead of explaining everything myself, I'll let other sources (who has more authority and credibility) to explain the situation...

YOUR TURN! 

The FDA is useless

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right!

healthy-regeneration says:

I think they've made themselves useless because they are so corrupted. They can sit and tell us all they want that they are trying to work things out and make things better, but that does not change the fact that they pass drugs through for consumer use, which are harmful toxins to the human body and are killing millions of good Americans.

They know the cures and preventions for all diseases lay within nature around us, but they make it illegal for Dr's to prescribe them because "the FDA is not protecting U.S. citizens, they are protecting the profits of the drug companies", as the former FDA Commissioner Dr. Herbert Leigh said.

China executed their FDA commissioner for being corrupt, here we reward them and promote them. They kill the FDA, here the FDA kills us.

I have my own lenses on this subject, and will make new ones as well and want to make people aware of the problems and that whatever ails them can be cured (no matter what the FDA wants you to believe). http://www.squidoo.com/curealldisease

If you have breast cancer, and I told you to bake linseed oil in with muffins and eat them everyday until it goes away (Canadian scientists proved that it works better and safer then chemotherapy), the FDA could break my door down and, like a SWAT team complete with guns and armor, take me down and arrest me for a federal crime, like I was a terrorist or a big time drug dealer. No Joke. Heheh, just for helping you cure something naturally.

You tell me that's not messed up!

Keep up the good work Elee.

I have to stop now or I'll just start ranting and go on forever.

Grasshoppa says:

What government agency ISN'T corrupt and wasting tax dollars? I blame Congress... they're the ones who approve and allocate the funds.

Cathy_at_McNeil_Ranch says:

Of course! If only they were just useless, and not SO dangerous, duplicitous, and deeply in the pockets of big pharma. Pharmaceuticals are killing us and the FDA not only sanctions it, but promotes it.

banjo3 says:

As far as debates go, this one is worthless. It's almost like asking if you think oxygen is required on a daily basis. Of course it is and of course the FDA is a useless waste of money.
As far as the topic is concerned, I'm quite glad that you are putting out there because more people need to know just how sucky the FDA actually is.

KelleyEidem says:

The FDA is without a doubt the most dangerous government agency. While the IRS can leave you penniless, the FDA's policies kill on a daily basis.

Yesterday, a public letter from Dr. Jonathan Wright arrived. In the letter he informed the reader that the FDA had decided that the bio-identical hormone estriol would now be considered an unapproved drug!

After so many women have suffered from the fake hormones that have killed so many women via breast cancer, the FDA has the gall to make a compound that is naturally produced in women's bodies and declared it to be an unapproved drug!

This is yet another outrageous day in the outrageous life of the FDA.

Don't get me started about the FDA! :-)

When something is a little bit wrong it can be tweaked and fixed. But the FDA is so far gone, and the thinking inside the FDA is so far off base...They need to be taken out of the medical treatment business.

Lobbyists = Corruption
The problem is this also opens the door for "alternative health" scams too.

The_Book_Garden says:

The FDA is firmly in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry, these business giants have a number of senators in their pockets and can effectively monopolize and influence policy to increase and protect their profits.

fefe says:

agreed!

charlino says:

Agree 100%. FDA is a scam - and has been since its inception.

bdkz says:

You are sooooooooooooo right!

jeffwend says:

The FDA makes me sick, so does Dick Durban. They are both trying to take away peoples rights to choose alternative health treatments. Why? Because there is no money in it for them. You can't patent Vitamin C or an herb like ginger and therefore drug companies can't make any money off of them. There is a revolving door among those who work for the FDA, Drug Companies, and lobby groups.

No way, Monkeybrain!

gbdc01 says:

First of all, I'm voting on this side just because my sense of Feng Shui was disturbed by there being no other posts on this side of the argument! I don't think the FDA is useless. Corrupt and potentially dangerous perhaps, but not useless. Anytime you have bureaucrats and scientists who are, let's just say less than fabulously wealthy, with the authority to make or break products that have the potential to generate billions of dollars in profits, things can get a little twisted.

Is there a better system? I don't know, but it is for certain that the FDA is not our great protector as they would like us to think they are.

Fabulous topic and you've done a great job of presenting it! Guess the only ones arguing the other side (gov, FDA, and pharm cos.) aren't here to argue. :(

It is odd that the FDA would continue to harass and prosecute those that encourage the use of natural treatments, while continuing to approve drugs that must be pulled from the market a short while later. I don't remember the exact stat, but a *very* large percentage of FDA top dogs go on to work for the pharmaceutical industry after they get done at the FDA. Could these be related???
