Same problem with the medical schools. As reported in their own New England

Journal of Medicine, the pharmaceutical companies pour so much money into

the medical schools, new doctors are trained with bias in schools that can't

refuse the money.

In my view that makes the FDA a private business, unlikely to be able to

ever operate outside of a conflict-of-interest. They are making a mockery

of the legal system.What they're doing is illegal, illegitimate, invalid,

and government-sanctioned.

This begs the attention of the highest power of the land. Someone had

better clean up after them and dissolve that whole branch of the government.

As an alternative, the right thing to do would be to dissolve the federal

government on the grounds that it is a perversion itself and/or incapable of

doing the right thing.

Fact is, the corruption is almost complete now and very difficult to

reverse. Their job is almost done already. May be too late for a wake-up

call.

Better review EVERYTHING that's been done for the last 75 years and make

appropriate amends.

That's true. If you have a lot of time to read the Leading Edge Research

Group website, you will see many references to that statement. Click on the

Looks to me that the FDA does not have our best interest in mind, they need

to be abolished.

We are not naive in knowing that a time may or will come when

citizens of North America (at least) will not be able to purchase

these technologies. That is what the FDA wants. Now, if you all were

to contact your local congressman or congresswoman about access to

alternative health protocols, that would be a GOOD thing

Hi Jerome,

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has jurisdiction

ONLY within the United States.

If you have a problem with something manufactured in the United States,

but used outside the area, they should have a local representative. For

instance, Nucleus has centers all over the world although they are

headquartered in Australia.

Hope that answers your question.

The FDA's Insane New Drug Testing Rules

The FDA has formally issued new guidelines designed to speed the testing of experimental drugs on volunteers.

New rules will allow drugmakers to test "minute doses" of experimental drugs to determine if full-blown clinical tests are warranted.

This "micro-dosing" of small numbers of patients in a clinical environment is intended to replace some early experimentation currently done on animals, and is expected to be more accurate.

Experts claim the amount -- about 1 percent of the final dose -- would allow them to determine if the drug gets to the area of the body intended, and how a patient tolerates it.

However, critics have charged that the new guidelines would increase hazards for volunteers, and facilitate the approval of drugs before their risks were fully understood.

I gave my 2 cents worth too.

Bottom line is that we need a complete overhaul of the FDA. Those crooks need to

resign NOW.

Enough with allowing the drug companies to continue to poison and kill us with

bad drugs and make tons of money doing so.

Chuck,

I don't know what you think about the FDA, but since its beginning (not

mentioning the agency that came before it) it has not been an agency that is

protective of the people; more an agency that protects the pharmaceutical

companies and their outrageous profits. Not even going to touch the oil

companies and their outrageous profits. Both are at our expense, but the latter

is at the expense of our health! For years I have been underwhelmed as the FDA

has done a number of things and approved drugs that should have had much more

scrutiny. As far as I am concerned, with what the FDA is doing and also Senator

Kennedy, who is a lying rat for anyone who remembers Chappaquiddick, neither one

are exactly guardians of our health. The FDA isn't too far from a Facist

organization, in my opinion. It amazes me that they would even endorse a study

on iodine, as no money can be made by their drug company compatriots by so

doing. Yes, I have a very jaded view of the FDA, and that is not

likely to change anytime soon.

There are thousands upon thousands in the thyroid groups on from all

over the world. I will take their word over any peer reviewed study funded by a

pharmaceutical company with its vested interests. I know from personal

experience the misery of T4 only drugs and doctors that don't listen and don't

care enough to find a root cause. ly, personal experience counts much more

for me these days than any study. I am a scientist, although an amatuer one, to

be sure, an amatuer geologist. I have seen in that field also that studies can

be skewed to suit those who are conducting said studies. So, I have a jaded view

of studies also, so prefer to speak with those who have actual, personal

experience with any medication, including supplements, which the FDA is trying

to kill. I have NO trust that the FDA is looking out for my interests or health;

that is my job, and far too many people have given over the power to their

health to their doctors, when in reality it rests

with each individual. I really liked Roni's post about how insurance should be

operated - I could go with that also. As it stands, and in my experience, and

that of many people I know, insurance is not only a racket, but many are a scam.

Insurance and pharmaceutical companies should not be controlling what doctors do

and say, but they are.

[Guest guest]

Lynda, in my opinion, Health Canada and the FDA are too busy waiting for the next coffee break than to worry about the well-being of the public.

A friend at the UofA has a health food store on campus, and he told me that someone burned down a health food store in the USA. He said that it was targeted because the Pharmaceuticals want to make money with drugs that can kill (see the movie The Constant Gardener, where poor people in Africa are experimented on by the Corporates!)

When I was on Vitamin E and C plus a multi-vitamin, my quality of life was so much better. The doctors took me off everything!

Love you...Us.

Rogene, thank you. My doctors took me off all vitamins because of the blood thinners. I started taking 800mg of vit. E after my implants were put into my body. Later, I started with C and a multi-vitamin, and in 2004, after my last PE, I went off everything. They took me off my Estrogen too, because they told me that it was causing my PEs. The only vitamin that I am on is B12 shots.

What thinks thee? Love you.......Lea

Lea,

We need to do some research to find vitamins we can take with confidence.

My doctor told me that he thinks vitamins are important, but that they must not have K in them. . .

From what I'm reading, virtually all green veggies have vitamin K . . . Garden of Life and Standard process vitamins are made from whole foods, so I suspect that, even if they don't specify Vitamin K, if they're made from green foods, they will have some K in them.

We should be able to eat anything, including vitamins, as long as we do it consistently every day.

Right now, I'm intent on getting my Coumadin dose as low as possible . . Then I'll start adding multi-vitamins and veggies back to my diet and see how it goes. One step at a time!

Rogene

Rogene, I am trying to find the correct vitamins, but I will continue to do research. Taking blood thinners has really messed up my life, but I do not want another PE.

Honey, my rheumatologist has just called with the results of my bone scan. He told me that I have a hairline fracture in my right leg; however, he wants to do an MRI soon. He told me that I would have to start taking the Didrocal again because of bone loss. We must get a brace for my leg, because he told me that this is a must. He promised to send me a priscription for the brace because it is expensive...how sweet. My leg is still very painful, and it is keeping me from doing many things. He told me that walking is very important, and that the brace will help....wonders me!

Love you...always...........Lea

Please ask your doctors if they can recommend some vitamins for you they consider safe with blood thinners. . . I'm thinking you need to be taking a good Calcium/Magnesium/Vitamin D supplement, if nothing else . . . Calcium provides bone density, Magnesium provides bone strength . . . Vitamin D make them work.
