Did you know that in the United States, if a pharmaceutical company can prove to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that an ingredient was not marketed as a dietary supplement prior to 1994, and that it was first investigated by a drug company, that said ingredient can be placed on a list that […]

New blood pressure guidelines claim millions of adults are “at risk” — the perfect storm for Big Pharma’s medication profit schemes

Benjamin Franklin famously noted, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is certainly true when it comes to our well-being, and there are many things each of us can do to improve our health and prevent disease.

Biotech industry trying to eliminate all FDA regulation of genetically edited ranch animals by shifting authority to the USDA, which has totally sold out to Monsanto

Biotech companies that can genetically engineer farm animals to have “designer” characteristics – like cows without horns (yes, cows really are supposed to have horns) – can make a whole lot of money selling these animals to farmers.

Genetically modified rice from China approved by the FDA — without independent testing

The debate raging around the genetic modification of food crops is likely to heat up even more now that the Food and Drug Administration has declared a new GM rice known as Huahui 1 to be safe, despite performing none of its own independent tests. The rice was developed by a research team from Huazhong […]

FDA bans flu tests in the middle of the worst epidemic in a decade, leaving doctors desperate — CDC continues to urge everyone to get the vaccine

Sometimes it just seems like governmental bureaucrats either don’t care about human life or are actively out to destroy it. In a recent example of this, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned two rapid flu test brands, Osom and QuickVue, insisting that they performed “poorly, resulting in many misdiagnosed cases.” While it is understandable […]

More proof Big Pharma is all about Big Profit: Doctors experiencing a shortage of antibiotics because they’ve become less profitable to produce

It’s no secret that the world is facing an antibiotic apocalypse in which simple cuts and bacterial infections could once again be deadly.

Safe or dangerous? The FDA is wishy washy about drug safety — the whole system is about money, not health

In 2014, global annual pharmaceutical revenues exceeded $1 trillion for the first time in history, with most of these revenues being generated in the United States. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is tasked with protecting public health by scrutinizing the drugs these pharmaceutical companies produce to ensure that they are safe and serve […]
