•The FDA was established in 1906 in response to public concern over unsafe food and drugs, such as spoiled food and counterfeit products. However, food industry lobbyists gradually gained influence, leading to the removal of the agency’s original leader. As a result, numerous harmful food additives were granted “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) status and continue to be used today.

•In 1962, the FDA was given broad powers to oversee drug safety following the thalidomide incident. Unfortunately, the new regulations created strict standards for drug efficacy that were often selectively enforced, benefiting the pharmaceutical industry. Unfortunately, the FDA increasingly targeted natural therapies, which led to many being erased from history.

•Despite numerous attempts to reform the agency, issues of inefficiency and bias within the FDA persist. This article examines these challenges and suggests potential reforms to improve the agency’s role in safeguarding public health.

For most of my life, I’ve observed the FDA belligerently suppress natural treatments and any unorthodox therapy which threatens the medical monopoly while simultaneously railroading through a variety of unsafe and ineffective drugs regardless of how much public protest the agency meets.

Please share and record this important history or it will be scrubbed and lost forever.

Like most government agencies, the FDA began well and good in the 1800’s due to unscrupulous food producers as well as medicines with secret ingredients like opium and alcohol.  But, even from the get-go, the food and pharmaceutical industries were powerful and fought as lobbyists using legal tactics. The first Director of the Bureau of Chemistry, and thus the fist head of the FDA, actually resigned realizing he could do more as a private citizen than within government.  

The article goes into life-saving treatments vilified by the FDA as well as ‘vaccine’ cover-ups, and disastrous drug approvals.

• https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2022/12/09/fda-declares-homeopathy-illegal/  Homeopathy is far from the only thing the FDA is trying to rid the planet of.  They’ve also attacked:
  • natural thyroid medications
  • the hormone estriol
  • NAC
  • vitamins such as zinc, C, and D for COVID
  • compounded supplements
  • Virtually anything it considers a threat to its bed-fellow, Big Pharma. The FDA has a chronic, incestuous relationship with Big Pharma.
