The FDA just rejected the application 20-1, and apparently they were unusually harsh in their criticism of Merck according to the story in today's NY Times.
2,300 people just got a reprieve and don't even know it!

OK, how about Homeland Security bringing Al Queda in, as consultants and experts, to determine if measures implemented since 9-11 are enough to stop future terrorists attacks?

Or perhaps, DEA and the US Coast Guard, should allow the Columbian Drug Cartels to determine what level of cocaine can and should be shipped into the US, to slow down total use on the streets?

Here's one....it's time for the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms folks to expand these tax revenue generating markets, to balance future Federal BLOATED Budgets, and the biggest growth opportunity is among non users in rest homes and elementary schools.

Since Nancy Pelosi is now running foreign policy through Damascus and the Syrian Baathist Party, she should put these Dictatorial Despot THUGS in charge of all Federal Civil Liberty Cases here in America.

"Fox in the Hen House"?

The chickens long ago were declared "SAFE" by CDC, FDA, WHO, & the UN because they got their Bird Flu Vaccines....

Arrrrgh....

ALERT!!

The FDA is getting ready to vote on a proposal that will ban health supplements. Even herb gardens and raw juice will be classified as a drug.

The FDA will decide whether herbs, supplements, vitamins or simple devices like massage stones are to be regulated as drugs and medical devices. If the FDA experts decide that these things are to be reclassified they will be regulated out of existence.

Read Full Article at Health Freedom Action Alert
Then, go to the link for the FDA comments and let the FDA know that you do not want this regulation to go into effect. Be specific and explain why you think this regulation is ridiculous.

Only with public outrage will the FDA back down on this crazy regulation.

Life the US needs another painkiller. Most Americans are addicted to them! They are some of the most widely bought drugs on the streets these days. Of course they broke their own rule. When it comes to money, the devilish will do anything.

Thank you Dr. Mercola for pointing this out! We must change the face of medicine and quickly!

It is a real shame that in our medical system we can’t at least “borrow” some of the wisdom of the Chinese in formulating so many safe and health promoting formulas for the pains (and healing at the same time) of arthritis and other complications.

As a working Clinical / TCM Herbalist I saw people every day with serious arthritis. It broke my heart to see the pain and suffering these mostly older people were putting up with and still smiling!

Many were suffering with not only arthritis, but with complications from steroids that were the arthritis protocol from there doctors. I tried many things and these two arthritis treatments have had very good results.

There are many other common household things that can help. One of my favorites is Ginger! Externally (as a hand , foot, or full bath) or internally in capsules.

They've just let the fox in to the hen house to determine if the hen's should be fed to the foxes or allowed to live.
