The Effort to Stop the Use of Supplements by “Big Pharma”

There are forces at work trying to take away your right to use vitamins and herbs. Think about it. Anything that “completes” with the drug industry is a direct competitor of that industry… it makes financial sense for them to “take out” the competition!

Dietary supplements are fast becoming an endangered species

“(NaturalNews) First the powers that be create a problem to get a reaction that gives them the green light to produce a solution to satisfy their ulterior motives. The problem, whether true or not, is presented through the media to also condition the public for accepting their desired solution.

A perfect example of this strategy has occurred as a backdrop for accepting the elimination of vitamins and supplements, which may occur sooner than you think.

The messages put through the media

Big Pharma front groups and FDA press releases are readily accepted by the main stream media (MSM) without investigation. They’re easy content fillers for lazy journalism. Besides, Big Pharma puts a lot of advertising money into the MSM. So what MSM hack is going to fuss over the accuracy of any Big Pharma or FDA press releases?

Most of the MSM’s public is cowed by the medical mafia’s powerful priesthood. So they’ll accept almost anything from the medical mafia as gospel.

If it’s in newspapers, magazines, and on TV; If it’s from the religion of mainstream medicine; If it’s also being repeated often without a whimper registering on the MSM from the other side of the issue, then it must be true. You can fool most of the people all the time.

A recent series of reports and press releases based on twisted studies, lies, and excerpts from reports taken out of context falsely publicized the dangers of vitamins and supplements. Though this negative propaganda campaign reached a boiling point over the last few months, it had been simmering for years.

Where the media lies are taking us

Remember: problem, reaction, solution. The problem of vitamins is a total lie. The reaction doesn’t have to be dramatic. The MSM’s shrill headlines have enough raving reactions. This is sufficient conditioning for the public’s accepting the solution of FDA control over vitamins. After all, the FDA is a cardinal among the medical mafia’s priesthood.

Unfortunately, the vitamin industry is headed for serious problems that will affect us all. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 is endangered yet again. Passed in 1994 as a result of a huge outcry from supplement consumers and health freedom advocates, this bill protected supplements from the FDA enough to allow supplements to be continued with marketing.

But apathy and indifference have set in over the past decade. It appears there are too many new battle fronts for health freedom, smothered by even more health agency and congressional corruption since that celebrated victory with The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.

Perhaps the DSHEA victory put everyone to sleep. As in don’t worry, the ‘DSHEA protects our rights to use supplements as we wish.’ Unfortunately, now it’s looking bleaker than ever. The FDA has propagandized the nation and owns Congressional representatives enough to stonewall them and carry out their plan to completely bypass the 1994 DSHEA by the end of 2011.”

We have to fight back, and be vigilant against this effort to take away our freedoms!

Antibiotics Come With Side Effects

I have said before that powerful antibiotics can cause issues with your health. Even allopathic doctors are stressing the need to cut back on “casual” antibiotic use. “Antibiotic” can be be broken down into the root words “anti,” meaning “against,” and “bio,” meaning “life.” Antibiotics are designed to kill germs, bacteria, etc. but they also kill good bacteria, like intestinal flora. Now, it appears people taking antibiotics for acne, are at risk for sore throats.

Antibiotics For Acne Linked To Sore Throat

“According to a study published Online First by Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals, taking oral antibiotics to treat acne seems to be linked to reported symptoms of pharyngitis (sore throat).

The investigators explain:

‘Many inconsistent concerns have been voiced about the safety of long-term use of antibiotics. Because of the high prevalence of acne and the frequent use of antibiotics to control acne, individuals undergoing therapy to treat their acne are an ideal group in which to study the effects of long-term antibiotic use.’

David J. Margolis, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues with the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, carried out two concurrent investigations (a cross-sectional investigation and a longitudinal study) in order to analyze the connection between antibiotics for acne treatment and pharyngitis.

In addition they attempted to find an association between oral antibiotics and colonization rates of group A streptococcus (GAS; form of bacteria responsible for most cases of streptococcal illness) since prior investigations demonstrated higher rates of GAS to be associated with oral antibiotics.

In both investigations, participants included college students. Participants were swabbed for culture, had a visual examination for acne and were asked to fill out a self-administered survey form.

In the cross-section investigation, they discovered that:

  • In the past 30 days, 10 out of 15 participants receiving oral antibiotics for acne treatment reported an episode of pharyngitis.
  • 47 of 130 participants who had acne but did not take oral antibiotics reported an episode of pharyngitis in the last 30 days.
  • 82 (32.7%) of 251 participants not receiving oral antibiotics reported an episode of pharyngitis in the previous month.
  • 3 out of 145 participants with acne (2.1%) were discovered to be colonized with GAS, although none of the 3 students were taking oral antibiotics.

358 females and 218 males were enrolled in the longitudinal investigation; 96 (16.6%) received topical antibiotics for acne and 36 (6.2%) received oral antibiotics for acne treatment during the investigation. They discovered there was a strong connection with oral antibiotic use with a health care assessment for pharyngitis. Of participants receiving oral antibiotics, 11.3% reported pharyngitis versus 3.3% of participants who did not take oral antibiotics.

Furthermore, no link to pharyngitis was reported for participants who used topical antibiotics for acne treatment, they discovered that less that 1% of students were colonized by GAS, suggesting that it is not connected with pharyngitis.”
