The FDA

[katfiche]

An FDA internal report found serious deficiencies within the organization in dealing with the rapid advancement in scientific discoveries.

Combining this with budget cuts and outside pressures, one can only conclude that the FDA is broken.

I follow alternative treatments for cancers. I've always been fascinated by the photographic evidence available on the internet for utilizing bloodroot in the treatment of skin, and other cancers. Recently, I discovered a friend of mine had previously treated a skin cancer on his leg using his own concoction of ingredients, the primary effectual ingredient was bloodroot. I found out because he was again treating another cancer on his forearm. I watched the progress as it attacked the cancer, but spared the normal cells. What resulted was him eventually removing an octopus like growth from his arm.

To any naysayers, he had a biopsy done and the cancer was confirmed prior to the treatment. His doctor has asked for a sample of the paste he made. In viewing the cancerous tissue, I can say for certain that if surgery had removed the growth entirely, the scar would have been horrendous, compared to the small round scar it is now settling down as. There is/used to be a site which documented several cases of breast cancer being treated by this method.

Justification for abortion is made by proclaiming that women have a right over their own body, so why isn't similar reasoning used to allow us to decide our own medical treatment in other areas?

Incidentally, Curaderm BEC5 was also found to be highly effective in treating skin cancer in a UK study. It is sold within the US, but only with the claims for removing age spots.

There are many products out there which are safer, and more effective at treating illnesses than their pharmaceutical counterparts. But, a lack of funding for research, along with outright quashing by pharmaceutical companies prevents them from being marketed as such.

Not to totally bash the pharmaceutical companies, some products they offer are superior because of standardization. Unfortunately, some aren't because of a lack of recognition of complementary compounds.
