Heaven forbid that we should return to the snake-oil remedies of traveling medicine shows. We would love to believe that the great FDA actually protects us from such charlatanism. What is not often realized is that reliance on fake treatments was well on the decline before the FDA was created. The actual contribution made by the FDA, towards making medicine safe, was however, initially significant. When it was first formed, as the Pure Food and Drug Administration, it was set the task of testing, systematically, the drugs then used by doctors in treating various complaints. Only about 19% were found to be effective, some harmful. They have since been charged with keeping both medicines and food safe. Their record of performance, however, is questionable. There are three reasons far this.
First of all is the extreme time and expense to push a new drug through the FDA's testing procedures. Only the largest drug companies can afford to pay for the process and wait for the up to nine years that it takes. Having done so, they must then be able to protect their rights to that drug in order to recoup that expense. This automatically eliminates drugs from smaller or foreign laboratories, unless rights can be sold to a larger US company. The larger company then must also recoup that expense. It also creates an enormous hurdle to the approval of "orphan" drugs, drugs which benefit people with rare conditions, untreatabie with more common drugs.
The FDA approval process also eliminates chemicals that are unpatentable, because they have already been on the market and used for other purposes. The need for protection of rights automatically eliminates treatments based on vitamins, minerals, or any other unpatentable substance or process. One such unpatentable substance, a solvent, is DMSO (DiMethyl Sulphoxide), which has been proven, through extensive testing at the University of Oregon Medical School, to be an exceptionally versatile and valuable medicine. That testing has shown DMSO to be very effective in treating arthritis, burstitis, burns, sprains, sore muscles and inflamations. No other cures for arthritis or burstitis are currently known. If used in emergency situations, it could save numerous lives by inhibiting deterioration of traumas until the victim can get to the emergency room. Because DMSO is unpatentable, it may never be made available to arthritis sufferers or trauma victims in this country.
A large part of the new drugs becoming available to American doctors, are approved in Europe first, years before American doctors can see them. Yet, in recent years, there have been as few or fewer problems with new drugs in Europe, as there is in the states.
The second reason we still have so-called snake-oil remedies lies in the FDA's own requirements. The same safety standards apply for a potentially life-giving drug for an otherwise terminal illness, as are applied for drugs for the rest of us. A man dying of cancer is not going to be terribly concerned that the drug that can save him has a 40% chance of impairing his vision, or some other such undesirable side effect.
The reliance on animal testing is another requirement which is surrounded in controversy. Had the FDA been around when penicillin was discovered, it would never have been approved. Penicillin is lethal to rats, hamsters and guinea pigs. Likewise, aspirin causes birth defects in rats. On the other hand, Thalidomide, which has caused serious birth defects in humans, causes no birth defects in most animals. The FDA is insistent on rat tests. Penicillin, however, has doubtless saved many more lives than have ever had an allergy reaction to it.
The third reason we still have so-called snake-oil remedies is the FDA's own poor record. It has, in fact, a long history of serious blunders. The Great Cranberry Scare of 1950's started when someone in the FDA declared that most of the cranberries in the country had been sprayed with a carcinogin. (a cancer-causing chemical) The government then proceeded to buy up all the cranberries and distributed the supposedly poisened cranberries to people on welfare BEFORE it was determined that someone simply had his chemistry mixed up.
No single Man-food substance had been tested more than saccarin. Its inventors had been very careful lest they market something dangerous. It had also been on the market a very long time without serious problems. The "experiment" that started the cancer scare should not even be graced with the honor of that title. It involved only 12 rats. There was no control group. Saccarin was surgically implanted in the bladders of all 12 rats. Half of the rats developed cancer. Even something as innocuous as honey can cause cancer if surgically implanted in the bladder. This "experiment" was then proclaimed by the FDA as "proof" that saccarin causes cancer, without any other clinical or experimental data. The FDA did not specifically demand that Saccarin be taken off the market. If they had, they would have faced lawsuits, and lost. It was more effective to simply issue their statement. The vendors then had to either replace the saccarin in their foods and drinks, or lose business.
Not long after, the FDA approved Aspartame under suspicious circumstances. This is a chemical that breaks down into aspartic acid, phelylalanine and methanol, which in turn produces formaldehyde, at temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit. These are very toxic chemicals.
Since these "Bloopers", the FDR has continued to permit farmers to use at least 47 different proven cancer-causers, such as Captan and Phosdain, on their produce. Other, even more dangerous substances which are not approved for use in the U.S. are sold by U.S. companies abroad, which then sell their contaminated products to Americans. What's worse is that some third-world farmers will use 2-3 times the recommended amounts on their plants, making their produce particularly dangerous to consumers.
In addition to carcinogins, there are other dangerous substances which we are, or have been, routinely exposed to. The use of steriods in cattle feed may now be controlled, but the addition of antibiotics to cattle feed and chicken feed is still a standard practice. Humans absorb those antibiotics from their steaks and hamburgers. While not immediately harmful, a steady diet of such meat is a veritable time bomb. The immune system becomes slowly weakened with age, until something, perhaps an ordinary illness like the flu, or an infection, or cancer, quickly overtakes and kills.
Another serious cancer-causing agent that the FDA has permitted to build up in our environment is radiation. However, such things as nuclear power plants, uranium mines and nuclear test sites, are not ordinarily considered to be within the FDA's domain, but then one could say that pesticides are not either. Both affect the food we eat. Both are contaminants.
Radiation, after having long been prohibited to be used to preserve produce, is now permitted. The FDA says the residual radiation is insignificant, but fails to mention that radiation destroys the enzymes in food. We need enzymes to digest food. If we have lost the capacity to produce them from either old age or prolonged exposure to preservatives and pestacides, we must use suppliments to stay healthy. At this writing, the FDA plans to force enzyme supplements off the market.
Archeological evidence has shown that for most of human history, people have suffered and died of more or less the same mix of illnesses as we do today, with one outstanding exception: cancer. Cancer has gone from a long-time uncommon killer to the second biggest killer we face. (The biggest being heart disease, a result of a combination of stress, high cholesterol, and a deficiency of E and other vitamins, or may be brought on by smoking) This has happened since the 1940's with the advent of nuclear testing, mining and power plants, along with the addition of numerous additives to our foods, while millions of dollars were being spent on cancer research, while less expensive, but effective treatments have been ignored.
Not only has the FDA turned its back on numerous hazards within its jurisdiction, it has been slow to approve potential life-saving treatments for cancer.
The responsibility for the death of Dr. Wilheim Reich belongs to the FDA. The FDA reverted to the use of slander to not only keep Laetril out of the U.S., but also attempted to destroy the career of the scientist who finally synthesized the chemical correctly, Dr. David Ruben.
When people are desperate, they will try most anything. When the watchdog is slow to certify effective drugs and treatments, or shows itself to be unreliable or untrustworthy, then not only desperate, but also sensible people begin to look seriously at alternatives not yet approved by that watchdog. We should look seriously at the FDA. We have every reason to believe that they are permitting more health problems to reach us than remedies for our problems.
Now why would they be doing this? Maybe someone stands to make a lot of money from investments in drug companies and medical equipment manufacturers, like the Rothschilds?
