While the mainstream media is focusing on the replacement for Obamacare, having a field day trashing Trump, and ignoring the massive corruption at the CDC, they also continue to ignore the longest-running health care crisis in America….. the suppression of REAL HEALTH.
The key agency that blocks REAL HEALTH is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)…
It is regularly said that The FDA is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Big Pharma. It has always been that way and, in fact, those of us who have been in the trenches campaigning for real health choice for decades, consider the FDA the deepest and most crooked part of the swamp Trump was elected to clean up.
For openers, the FDA is wearing too many hats of authority and has been run for the pleasure of Big Pharma, only.
It has been embroiled in one controversy after another, often of a criminal nature. When it comes to regulating dietary supplements and related products, it has always come out on the side of protecting Big Pharma’s interests.
While it looks the other way to make sure Big Pharma products have fast approval, the commitment to offer the same benefits to dietary supplements, its attitude is they are “a disincentive for patented drug research” and there is a history of gunpoint raids on doctors offices and confiscation of products that goes back decades.
The Rise of Tyranny…
Eight years ago, I wrote a book review for a book called “Rise of Tyranny” . This book covers the history of how all these Federal agencies were created, unconstitutionally, and how the heads of these agencies now assume tyrannical powers outside the authority of Congress.
The book focuses on how the FDA, in particular, has been a captive of Big Pharma just as the CDC has been. The story is as relevant today as it was then, so I thought I’d re-issue it here on the BolenReport.
