FDA Falling Short on Safety
As time goes on there can be no ignoring that the FDA has failed as a
regulatory agency. Just as with the other government regulatory agencies
such as the EPA most are controlled by the very interest that we are to be
protected from. The FDA has allowed the Pharmaceutical industry carte´
blanche´. The time has come for real changes here as this would save
billions on healthcare.
How many years have parents been misguided thinking that those over the
counter cold medicines worked for their children? How many more drugs that
have made billions for the industry continued on the market and deemed
safe?
The list just keeps growing. For each drug that is consumed there is a 80%
chance that you will suffer from an adverse effect. Causing, you to
believe
that another drug can fix the problems caused by the first.
Just look at the billions spent by the government in response to vaccines
that knowingly cause death or severe reactions. Just recently the
government
admitted that vaccines can inflate pre consisting conditions when vaccines
and the preservative Thimerosal was for many years involved. Thimerosal is
a
mercury compound once prevalent in everything from makeup too vaccines.
Some vaccines such as the Flu vaccine continue to contain this harmful
substance. All of those mercury laden fillings in dental care contain and
provide mercury poisoning. To put this poisoning into perspective we can
use
alcohol as an analogy. Depending on your genetics depends on the amount
and
level of tolerance. This is simple science that gets ignored.
If your doctor subscribes you a drug to relieve pain, allergy or high
blood
pressure should you fear suicide? Do we rely too much on the magic pills?
Have we gone too far? Have we destroyed the natural balance within
ourselves
and upon the earth?
Pesticides, herbicides, scents, medicines and millions of other things
that
we generate or rely on create the medical and psychological problems we
see
today. There are times that we forget that science is not perfect for all.
What may be right for one may harm the other.
This Presidential election period shows how many Americans believe that
healthcare for all is required. Does any candidate speak of how to
eliminate
the causes? Too really cut these climbing costs that are behind the real
problem? 80% of health care is due to chronic illness. The problem is that
little if any research is directed on the causes. As Americans we put our
money on the winner and this situation we have failed.
We need changes to cut the costs and not allow what has gone on since the
1970´s to continue. Why does it take so long after the so called trials to
find out that these compounds are more harmful than good? Shouldn´t more
money be invested to find those that benefit and stop allowing those that
have harmed to continue?
It might be time to realize that we are not as smart as we think. This as
all science is imperfect. There are alternatives and at times we must look
at them. Each person is different and so the levels of toxins cause
different problems. The time has come for the FDA to really investigate
just
who benefits and who won´t. If this should rely on the old saying of
"Benefits the whole" then don´t allow those harmed to be sacrificed or be
forgotten.
The time has come for real changes. The FDA and those behind the deaths
and
those harmed should be held responsible.
