Cheap, 'safe' drug kills most cancers

This highlights the message that I have been trying to convey. Just because something occurs in nature does not neccesarily make it good drug or even safe for that matter. Lets look at resveratrol...it has shown some interesting and potentially beneficial biological properties in some prelimininary in vitro studies but this is a long, long, long way from becoming a viable drug. In fact, from a medicinal chemistry standpoint it is a terrible drug because it is hardly absorbed into the blood stream and the small amount that is will be metabolized very rapidly thus not allowing it to exert the same properties that it did in the cell based experiments. And this is not even taking into account the fact that the metabolites of it may be toxic.

Once something is put inside a human things become very complicated. This is why there are regulations for developing drugs - every angle and variable is examined to ensure both safety and efficacy. As we all know even with these measures in place, problems can still occur. It is irresponsible for a doctor or anyone else to suggest someone consume a compound which has not undergone proper evaluation. Some of the most toxic compunds know to man come from natural sources.

Health is the most valuable possesion that we have and should never be treated lightly.
 
Well, it looks as if the FDA has plans to call any type of supplement a "drug", anyway.

Can you say goon squads? Pretty shocking prior FDA-sponsored behavior:


Disturbing history of FDA raids on healers and natural medicine clinics
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:37:25 -0700
... It's been a whirlwind week of disturbing developments about the Food and Drug Administration. Following yesterday's breathtaking revelations that the FDA plans to regulate virtually all herbs, vitamins, functional foods and even massage oils as "drugs," I received skeptical questions from FDA defenders who insisted that the FDA had never done anything to harm the American people.

Oh really? Apparently they aren't familiar with factual history. So to help educate those FDA defenders about how this rogue agency is destroying the very freedoms upon which this nation was founded, I have posted the true history of FDA raids on natural healers, vitamin shops and even a church!

Click the headline below to read the full story... and after you read it, ask yourself this question: If the FDA would use armed agents to raid a church and confiscate its "healing devices," is there anything the FDA *wouldn't* do to protect the profits of Big Pharma?

Tyranny in the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies
Thursday, April 12, 2007 by: Mike Adams

Here's a brief overview of some of the campaigns of terror the FDA has initiated against natural healers, nutritional supplement companies and other organizations. Many were conducted using armed agents wielding assault rifles and automatic weapons, dressed in body armor. All of them were intended to destroy natural medicine, thereby protecting the profits of drug companies and conventional medicine practitioners.

This is the true history of the FDA that the FDA doesn't wan't you to know!

(This timeline is excerpted from my book Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them)

1987: The Life Extension Raids
The Life Extension Foundation (www.LEF.org) has long been targeted by the FDA. It is a non-profit organization that publishes information about the healing power of nutritional supplements and genuine anti-aging breakthroughs from the world of natural health.

On February 26, 1987, approximately 25 armed FDA agents and U.S. Marshals burst through the glass doors of the Ft. Lauderdale offices of the Life Extension Foundation with guns drawn. A second group of FDA agents simultaneously attacked the LEF warehouse, where they detained LEF founder William Faloon at gunpoint.

Employees were lined up against the wall and searched. Agents rifled through the personal belonging of the employees and confiscated many items. Over the next 12 hours, they seized thousands of items, including nutritional products, files, and documents, including 5,000 newsletters that were about to be mailed to subscribers. Computers and telephones were reportedly, "…ripped from the wall," and agents seized anything they could find regardless of whether such items were actually named in the search warrant. Later analysis revealed that 80 percent of the seized items were never named in the warrant.

Not surprisingly, the entire legal basis for the raid was fraudulent to begin with...

Tormented by DEPRESSION, and the medicine isn't helping?

If you or anyone you care about is tormented by clinical depression and none of the medications seem to help, you need to read this:

Imagine this: You're having mechanical difficulties with your car, which is unable to drive any faster than 20 MPH due to a broken transmission. You take the car in to a mechanic, explain the problem to him, and he <i>fixes</i> the problem by replacing your tires with new ones. Needless to say, the transmission problem hasn't been resolved at all, so you take your car back to the mechanic. Once again, he completely ignores the root of the problem (transmission), and instead he installs yet another different brand of tires.

You get fed up with the useless 'help' of this mechanic, so you try taking your car to other mechanics in your city- yet every single one of them is blindly fixated on tires. All they know how to do is replace your tires, which of course does not help you at all.

This is exactly how medical orthodoxy currently deals with depression. "The problem MUST originate with a deficiency of serotonin/dopamine/norepinephrine (tires), it couldn't possibly be caused by something else, like an endogenous opioid deficiency (transmission). Therefore, all we will do for you, is prescribe one SSRI/SNRI after another (new tires) as we blindly and incorrectly fixate on the same old three neurotransmitters."

Then there's the <i>creative</i> mechanic who comes up with a <i>different</i> idea for fixing the car. Instead of replacing the tires, he patches up the old tires and fills them up with more air. This is the medical professional who suggests St. John's wort and 5-HTP, which can only boost... you guessed it- serotonin.

Watch TV for a couple hours and you'll probably see quite a few antidepressant commercials. The cruel joke is that every single one of those commercials is just pitching yet another serotonin/dopamine/norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitor product. "Zoloft didn't work? You're still dying of depression? Here, try some Paxil. It does the exact same thing as zoloft, but hey- give it a shot."

<b>Medical orthodoxy's current neurotransmitter fixation will go down in history as one of the science's greatest blunders of all time</b>, right next to bloodletting, eugenics and mercury salves. In the future, buprenorphine will be commonly accepted as a legitimate antidepressant. The only question is: How many more endogenous opioid deficient patients must suffer and die until then?

Referred to by health guy Mike Adams in an above post, here is the summary of the new FDA "guidance" document which is causing all the concern of potential overregulation due to possible reclassification of most vitamins, supplements, herbs, etc.:

2006D-0480 - Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration
FR Type: Notice
Action: Availability.Guidance.Level 1

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration." In recent years, the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) products has increased in the United States, and we have seen increased confusion as to whether certain products used in CAM are subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("the Act") or Public Health Service Act ("PHS Act"). We have also seen an increase in the number of CAM products imported into the United States. Therefore, the draft guidance discusses when a CAM product is subject to the Act or the PHS Act.

Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"
Wednesday, April 11, 2007 by: Mike Adams

When it comes to health freedom, this is the FDA's end game. A new FDA "guidance" document, published on the FDA's website, reveals plans to reclassify virtually all vitamins, supplements, herbs and even vegetable juices as FDA-regulated drugs. Massage oils and massage rocks will be classified as "medical devices" and require FDA approval. The document is called Docket No. 2006D-0480. Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA is accepting public comments on the docket until April 30th. They tried to sneak this under the radar, but word got out and now the natural health community is up in arms over this rule. If you wish to protect your access to nutritional supplements, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic medicine or any other "complementary" or "alternative" modality, it is crucial that you take action to post your comments with the FDA right now and write your representatives in Washington to put a stop to this outrageous effort to destroy natural medicine. (And be sure to really write them. Just sending an email has virtually no impact compared to writing a physical letter in your own words.)

Click here for the direct link to the FDA's comment posting page for this docket.

This move by the FDA is designed to once and for all destroy the 1994 DSHEA law that has made supplements "legal" while eliminating nutritional supplements and natural medicine from the United States, ensuring monopoly profits and control by drug companies and the FDA. It is the latest action item by the FDA / Big Pharma conspiracy that will not stop until health freedom has been abolished, drug companies rule the nation, and every citizen is diagnosied with a fictitious disease and drugged up on monopoly-priced pharmaceuticals.

FDA "experts" will decide what's a drug or medical device
Under these proposed guidelines, FDA "experts" (the same corrupt officials who reapproved Vioxx after it killed over 50,000 Americans) will decide whether herbs, supplements, vitamins or simple devices like massage stones are to be regulated as drugs and medical devices. If the FDA experts, in their infinite wisdom, decide that these things are to be reclassified, they will essentially be outlawed, stripped from the shelves, and regulated out of existence. Anyone who dares to manufacture, promote or sell such products may be branded a criminal and rounded up by armed FDA agents who have a well established history of suppressing natural medicine...

Interesting article on cocoa

Hollenberg has spent years studying the benefits of cocoa drinking on the Kuna people in Panama. He found that the risk of 4 of the 5 most common killer diseases: stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes, is reduced to less then 10% in the Kuna. They can drink up to 40 cups of cocoa a week. Natural cocoa has high levels of epicatechin.

Quote from bigarrow:

Most of us here will be dead before the clinical data is complete on wine. It takes decades on non patented products to get the medicial community's approval. For me there's enough evidence on wine to drink for my health. It is hard to believe but there are still doctors out there who say vitamins and supplements are worthless.

Vitamins , except vitamin C, are generally worthless or even harmful in the form of a pill. You should get vitamins from fresh vegetables or fruits instead. Extra benefit is that you are getting fiber and other cell material as well.

Spend some time doing some research and I don't think anyone could come to that broad conclusion that vitamins are worthless and harmful. There are literlly thousands of studies that contridict that statement. Even though I've studied this and have my own opnion I do have an open mind on health issues and would change my mind if the facts are there. But so far all the vitamins are bad crowd hasn't given me proof to support their view. But I strongly agree with you that diet is the first place and most important place for nutrition and health.

how [RM] currently deals with depression... problem MUST originate in ..... endogenous opioid deficien[cy]...!!!

Now I see! The problem is not enough opiates! If
I am feeling down a little heroin will turn things
around. Or maybe just a few Vicoden if I'm in a
hurry.

Smoking crack makes me feel even better than mainlining
smack. I guess that means I have a serious cocaine
deficiency! Probably because my serum alkaliniity is
way out of whack. Not to fear, I will just self medicate
with more crack until Fedex delivers my litmus paper
test strips and magic alkaline water.

And I thought I was delusional!
