I Advice - Why CBS Hates Herbal Supplements
Rarely do I ever see prime time news but it happened to be on when I was in the room the other night at the gym. I saw a CBS news report that got my attention and people have been talking about. CBS reported that herbal supplements like St. John’s Wort are dangerous and potentiall According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product y harmful because the FDA does not regulate or test the many supplements available today. Now I do not even know much or care about St. John’s Wort but I feel strongly about this subject and decided to take time out from writing my book to write this article. I hope you find it inf ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in rmative. First of all the FDA approves pharmaceutical drugs based on biased research from the same companies developing the drugs. They are an ineffective agency that really does not regulate anything. In the news report by CBS they did a really good job of grouping all sup lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. plements together and portraying them as unhealthy, dangerous and
ineffective, while portraying doctor prescribed drugs as safe, effective and
really your only choice if you want to be safe. Nothing could be further from the TRUTH! The TRUTH is that pharmaceutical drugs, che here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe ical supplements and cheap synthetic vitamins are unhealthy,
dangerous and ineffective! These misleading fear tactics work really well at
getting people to not explore alternative health options that might save their
lives or spare them horrible side effects from doctor presc d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ribed drugs and OTC
medications. Randall Fitzgerald summarizes the truth well in his recent blockbuster book “The Hundred-Year Lie” which you must read to truly understand how “food and medicine are destroying your health.” From his book: ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc far as we know, are toxic to us. “However broadly speaking, the evidence indicates that most naturally occurring foods and medicines are healthy for us, as they have been for our species for thous easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi and of years, while many if not most synthetic chemicals in
foods and medicines pose some health risk.” One of the REAL problems with the natural supplement industry not being regulated is that the same vitamin companies that produce cheap, ineffective synthetic vitamins are nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically producing cheap ineffective versions of herbal
supplements. Many natural, herbal and whole-food supplements are safe and have
tremendous health benefits and could seriously improve or even save someone’s
life. The effectiveness of natural supplements, however, varies greatly and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ by the
brand and manufacturer and in general you should avoid anything made by a large
publicly traded company. What happens is someone walks into a store and buys the cheapest bottle of ‘St. John’s Wort” or some other herbal supplement. They take it for their malady and a ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi ter a period of time say “This stuff does not work; I think I will go see
my doctor.” This product was probably made by a company that cares little about
the quality or freshness or else it would cost more. They may have gotten the
herb from a questionable source that was che ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a aper or figured out they could make
more money by using an ineffective part of the plant like the stem. There is a
huge difference in effectiveness based on freshness, quality, and the method
prepared. A freshly squeezed shot of wheat grass for example would be much
better dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod han wheatgrass powder or pills. The problem is natural remedies and whole-food and herbal supplements compete directly with the pharmaceutical industry, which I am guessing is CBS’s biggest advertiser. In the CBS news report there was an alleged number of deaths from adverse cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin effects of natural or herbal supplements. The number was made to look
really large and bad by making it over a large span of time. I do not remember
the exact numbers used in the report but I do know that MANY, MANY more people
have died from adverse effects and reactions fr tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen m doctor prescribed drugs! Look
it up for yourself but I will let you know ahead of time you will find very
little negative information about legal, patented prescribed drugs that the
pharmaceutical companies make millions on. The “War on Drugs” in this country is a war agai t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel nst naturally occurring drugs
that Big Pharma can not patent and profit from! I am seeing in the drug rehab
where I work a dramatic rise in people addicted to these doctor prescribed drugs
because people are being reassured that they are safe and good by doctors and
the med ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust a. This news story is incredibly well orchestrated propaganda; do not believe what you hear on the news. Some people may remember recently the interview between celebrity Tom Cruise and reporter Matt Lauer. There has been a huge media effort to discredit Tom Cruise and make y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products him look like a whacko or weirdo
because he has been outspoken about prescription drug use and the pharmaceutical
industry. There were also attempts to discredit other alternative health advocates like Kevin Trudeau of www.naturalcures.com. I will be writing another article . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de n the
near future about BusinessWeek’s story called “The Organic Myth” that will blow
you away! Don’t believe the media! Their news stories are mostly just
advertising in disguise or Big Business Propaganda. I do not fault them for this it is just the American Way in the “La elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip nd of
Opportunity”. I love America, capitalism, free enterprise, The Constitution, The
Bill of Rights, and Liberty and Justice for all. We can not blame governments,
corporations and political leaders for lying to us. We can only blame ourselves
for being blind to the truth tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
