[SouthBayVeggies] FDA planning to ban juice, vitamins, sprouts, etc by 4/30 /Codex

[Guest guest]

This is not an attempt to outlaw juice or vitamins. It is a long overdue look at

the " supplement " industry. This is an industry that advertises and sells

" nutritional " products and is not subject to any scientific or medical

standards. Many of these are rip off products of dubious and apocryphal repute

which are not subject to the same standards as products that are classified as

foods or drugs.

 

One such product is ephedra which has been responible for the deaths of a

number of people and has been banned from use as a supplement by the FDA since

April 2004.

If this product was subject to the same standards of review as products

classified as foods or drugs then these tragedies may well have been averted.

 

The main opponents toward this review and regulation are the companies that

are making millions from gullible and ill informed consumers by selling these

products to them without any scientific evidence for the claims that they make

for their efficacy.

As an addendum to my last posting, I urge you to take a look at who wrote the

article in the link from rawdoctor. His name is Mike Adams, he calls himself

the, " Health Ranger " and has no medical or dietary qualifications whatsoever.

 

His site links to the sale of various publications FOR SALE that promote

exacly the type of supplements in question.

 

I hope that this helps to put a perspective on this issue.

I have to comment. I support the opposition to this move by the FDA. This is

no joke, and we in Cancer Victors have been following it for some time now. The

stranglehold the FDA has on this country will become unbearable if this passes.

The reference to juice becoming classified as a " drug " is simply frightening and

absurd. I have personally witnessed the effectiveness of the Gerson Juice

Therapy against cancer patients. To think that the FDA as a covert agent of

physicians and surgeons could ban this therapy is disastrous and outrageous.

There are legal drugs on the market today(Vioxx being one) that have been

responsible for MORE pain and suffering than the symptoms they are reputed to

alleviate.

I know personally survivors of cancer who were given no more than 6 months to

live by Stanford doctors, and have turned their backs on mainstream " therapies " ,

and cured themselves by natural means and methods deemed illegal and " dangerous "

by the FDA. These people are alive and cancer free for over ten years and some

of them were forced to do their cures outside this country because of the FDA's

nonsense. Why not ban milk? It is used in therapies espoused by so called

reputable physicians though it is poison to the human body and is probably

responsible for more illness and disease than we can imagine; but it keeps the

physicians and surgeons and drug companies in business doesn't it? Well, let's

recommend cow's milk be banned because the necessary tests have not been done to

insure it is truly safe as a remedy for illness. Absurd. And so is Codex.

Sheesh !!! Give me a break. And give me a fresh papaya every morning

please.....while I still may get one in this

country.
