Free Speech: FDA Goes on the Attack Again

The real target: your ability to buy supplements of your own choice. Action Alert! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released a “guidance” describing the substantiation needed by infant formula products to make structure/function claims. In the guidance, the FDA “recommends” that double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) be used to substantiate structure/function claims on these… Continue reading Free Speech: FDA Goes on the Attack Again

Did Big Pharma Cause Hillary’s Pneumonia?

It could be caused by acid blockers, but there are plenty of other possibilities. Most of Hillary’s symptoms could be side effects of drugs she is taking. Hillary Clinton’s recent pneumonia diagnosis followed her collapse after the 9/11 memorial service. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed this month that he too had been diagnosed… Continue reading Did Big Pharma Cause Hillary’s Pneumonia?

Key Brain Health Herb about to Disappear

Unless we act now, the FDA will hand this supplement over to drug companies. Action Alert! We told you recently that the FDA is set to yank vinpocetine from the shelves, even though it had been previously approved as a new dietary ingredient (NDI), that is, a new supplement. Why? Two reasons. Because the agency… Continue reading Key Brain Health Herb about to Disappear

Will Monsanto Now Try To Hide?

McCaskill, who is clearly doing industry’s bidding,… Continue reading FDA Set to Yank Brain Health Herb

Hillary’s Medicine “Bizarre”?

What your doctor doesn’t know could harm you. Recently, TV celebrity doctor and board-certified internist Drew Pinsky made some waves by mocking the medicine that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was receiving, saying that he was “gravely concerned” about her “bizarre…1950-level sort of care.” Pinsky was referring to the treatment of Clinton’s hyperthyroidism with Armour… Continue reading Hillary’s Medicine “Bizarre”?

First Attack on Companies Labeling Their Food as GMO-Free

We are sure there will be many more such attacks coming. Earlier this summer, Congress defied the will of voters in passing a phony GMO labeling bill. This “mandatory” labeling bill is anything but mandatory: it allows companies to choose how to inform consumers about the genetically engineered content of their food—most will do so… Continue reading First Attack on Companies Labeling Their Food as GMO-Free

Food as Medicine

Most of our readers by now are probably familiar with the ketogenic diet. Is it for real? The FDA won’t allow any claims to be made about using food to combat illness (with a few exceptions). Walnut and cherry growers have been threatened with jail for daring to mention university research about their products, both… Continue reading Food as Medicine

Mercury Found in High Fructose Corn Syrup

But apparently covered up by the Food and Drug Administration. Action Alert! There were already plenty of reasons to avoid this highly processed ingredient like the plague. Now there’s an even better reason. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) makes up one out of every ten calories Americans eat. It is in nearly every processed food… Continue reading Mercury Found in High Fructose Corn Syrup
