Did you know that the FDA has been taken over by the pharmaceutical companies to "regulate" themselves? Would you be surprised to learn that the FDA does not protect you from drugs, medical devices and therapies that cause harm and death?
Successful criminals use the laws, the police and the courts to squash competition. Under the guise of protecting the public, pharmaceutical medicine did this to exterminate "patent medicine" products while using patent laws to make billions, then trillions, as "science-based" medicine.

(FDA Strengthens Warning of Heart Attack and Stroke Risk for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, FDA website)
