Re: FDA and DHSEA - Bogus Fears

[Guest guest]

Here is another one from the NHF.

Again, in the instance of the FDA GGP on the docket, while I have nothing but

the utmost respect for the NHF, I feel that they are misinterpreting the

situation. We have several authorities involved. The FDA, which is an

administrative authority. They cannot legislate law (legally). The US

Congress, which both legislates law AND oversees the FDA. And while not yet

part of the discussion (soon to be), the individual states and their

administrative bodies (like here in Washington the Medical Quality Assurance

Committee, more accurately known as M QAC). As stated before, since GUFTA was

passed in '94 the majority of the funding for the FDA is now from the industry

that they are chartered to oversee. Dr. Mercola has excellent critiques as to

the incestuous nature of such a deal. We have a new director of the FDA who

came from being the head of the NCI (only quit that post when forced by public

outcry). More incest. We have a 30 year history of FDA shenanigans in favor

of again the industries that the administration is overseeing. We have a

Congress (who's largest lobby is Big Pharm) who then oversees this regulatory

agency. Congress is pressured (or bought) to be sympathetic to the Drug

industry. The FDA is Funded by the Drug industry. If Someone within the FDA

were to behave altruistically, the money chain is yanked directly AND through

the lobby of Congress. When I mention lobby I am talking in terms of funding of

campaigns and almost for sure hidden graft. In fact there are numerous

instances where this is just the case. Again, look to Dr. Mercola's new book

" Sweet Deception " for but a few instances. While the FDA may not legislate law,

their internal policy and view will behave similar to such. If they decide to

define supplements as treatment and therefore act as if they are under their

jurisdiction, our recourse will be in the courts. Risky arena in this day in

age. Again, history is rife with legislation from the bench. An example will

be given below. If bills like Kennedy's are drafted into law, our only recourse

will be at the Supreme Court level to prove unconstitutionality of the law, a

demonsterous undertaking.

If the FDA redefines their interpretation of the law, nothing will happen

immediately. the game from the Drug Company side is to capture the market. The

FDA will then (under the guidance of the Drug industry require such onerous

guidelines so that the only companies large enough to meet them will be the

large pharmaceutical manufacturers, pushing out the competition and assuring a

monopoly identical to the one the industry has now on pharmaceuticals. The

ephedra situation was a flagship test. Extremely successful. The deaths

related to Phen/Phen were well known by the FDA for years before the FDA took

action and then only because forced. Many more deaths associated than with

ephedra and then the deaths associated with ephedra were a manipulated

association. Ephedra is an herb containing Ephedrine, and is extremely safe in

whole form. ask yourself why we are going to spend billions to stockpile

Tamiflu to combat the possibility of a bird flu epidemic when less than 200

people have died worldwide over the past 5 years that it has been recognized.

40,000 die each year from the common swine flu here in America alone. Trumped

up smoke screens to feed an industry. Now let us add one of the other prongs of

the attack at the state level. All the similar bedfellow circumstances to the

federal situation. Here in Washington we have a hornet's nest of state

regulating authorities attacking both non licensed and licensed alternative

practitioners. Not the least of which is against MDs using alternative

therapies. There is a national group of MDs that use alternative therapies

called ACAM (American college for the Advancement of Medicine). There are 15

members in Wa. 10 of the 15 are being attacked or have been attacked to take

their licenses for using such things as colonics and EAV machines. Keep in mind

that we past landmark legislation in '93 to protect from just this. They are

trying to snuff Dr. again, this time for mentioning colonics on

his website. Ralph, if my communication seems overtly strong it is because

these attempts by our own government in the face of law to the contrary, have

hit a raw cord. The legislation that was passed here in '93 basically said that

if no harm is being done (no complaints against the practitioners have been

logged except by the state and medical profession, but not by patients), you as

a consumer have the right to approach any therapy you choose (freedom of choice)

and as a practitioner you can provide any type of therapy. now the raw chord.

A very close friend of mine, one who performed over $10,000 worth of colonics on

my wife with cancer, for free, out of the kindness of his heart has been the

object of such an attack. Dirk has practiced for 26 years without a complaint,

and the state came at him for practicing medicine without a license. He was

working out of MDs' offices. The administrative judge found that there had

never been any evidence of harm in 26 years but shut him down and fined him

$900,000 dollars. I have witnessed the illegal destruction of a career, a life,

and the access by very ill people with no alternative in the face of the law!

Legislation from the bench. As I said in my comments to the FDA, woe is to the

individuals who purport this for they may at sometime wish to avail themselves

of alternative treatments for themselves or a loved one, only to find that to do

so will make them a scofflaw. This is serious, very serious business. All the

best to you and those you love, -Dave

Okay Dave - and for anyone else who is feeling threatened, this article

explains in detail why these fears are unfounded and as such why the

uproar is so contained to those who dont; understand the meaning of FDA

document ( meaning not being advocated by Alt Health Gurus or Vitamin

Companies) - I hope this link works as it doesn't look like a URL in

the text editor.
