"The number of these products multiplied greatly after Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), a law that allows the sale of "natural" health products or nutraceuticals with only minimal government oversight. While DSHEA did legislate FDA oversight of these products, the rules governing their use are extremely liberal. Since evidence of effectiveness is not required, the only rule is that nutraceutical manufacturers can't make health claims about their products." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"This is a magazine that accepts advertising for health products. The advertisers obviously encouraged the magazine to write positive stories about their products. The articles in this magazine have stories about particular branded products and how they can cure, prevent, and treat disease. They are written by "reporters." The magazine is full of ads for health products. The magazine is filled with health claims." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"When Johnson & Johnson, an enormous purveyor of consumer health products, purchased McNeil, Tylenol competed directly with Datril, the Bristol-Myers version. Both made important inroads into the aspirin market as an analgesic and antipyretic. Although acetaminophen has little of aspirin's effect on the swelling, redness, and warmth that characterizes inflammatory lesions, it does not cause epigastric burning or intestinal bleeding. This advantage positioned it well in the battle with aspirin." - Nortin M. Hadler, The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System (Get the book.)

"But Laetrile was only one of many alternative health products. By the end of the 1970s, Americans were spending $1 billion a year on various supplements and potions that promised magical benefits.2 These included pangamic acid, which was touted as a previously undiscovered vitamin with virtually unlimited powers, various bee concoctions and other supplement products including garlic and zinc.2 At the same time in the scientific community, more and more health information, specifically nutrition information, was being generated at a furious pace." - T.

"Cutback in Production The announcement of a cutback in supplies of what Monsanto calls, "one of the leading dairy animal health products," and the largest-selling veterinary drug in the U.S., generated almost no media coverage. Perhaps because Monsanto's public relations department had a reasonable explanation for its cutback. "Over the past few years, customer demand for Posilac has increased to a level that exceeds our supplier's current production volume," said the press release. Monsanto just hinted at the rest of the story. " - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.)

"The FTC states that the reason I can sell Prevention, The Lancet, and Alternative Medicine magazines is because they are "well established informational publications created by unrelated third parties" and even though they do contain advertisements that promote specific branded products such as disease-related advertisements for drugs or alternative health products such as Agresept. As long as Mr. Trudeau has absolutely no involvement directly or indirectly with the content, placement, or sale of the ads I would not be promoting the products and, therefore, I could sell these publications." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"All testimonials for natural health products, it seems, are under attack by the FDA, which is engaged in a massive campaign of censorship and forced ignorance in order to keep the American people in the dark about the true healing power of herbs and nutritional supplements. Dr. Sahelian's Prostate Power Rx supplement, by the way, is formulated with Saw Palmetto, Stinging Nettle, Rosemary, Pygeum bark, Lycopene, Genistein and other ingredients that are backed by a wealth of scientific information." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Hans Neiper's German-made health products. Other FDA raids: (•* 1991, San Leandro, Calif: A nutritional supplement company, NutriCology, is raided by 12 FDA agents. All FDA injunctions were eventually thrown out of court. 1991, Texas: The anti-cancer clinic of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, a brilliant researcher from Poland, is raided by the FDA and the Texas Department of Health. Just before the raids, the National Cancer Institute had announced they would evaluate the pioneering work of Dr. Burzynski, which involved cancer treatment using antineoplastons." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Earth's Bounty NONI by Matrix health products is a good source of this herb. Q Horsetail, taken in tea or extract form, is an excellent source of silica, a form of the trace mineral silicon.

"The revenue generated by the companies that produce food and health products is staggering. Many individual food companies have over $10 billion in annual revenues. Kraft has revenues of roughly $30 billion a year. The Danone Group, an international dairy company based in France, operates the Dannon brand and has revenues of $15 billion a year. And of course, there are the large fast food companies. McDonald's has revenues in excess of $15 billion a year, and Wendy's International generates almost $3 billion a year." - T.

"How will the product affect other health products, foods, and medicines currently in your health regime? Most patients quickly realize that food and proper nutrition are not the first line of defense against disease. Drugs, expensive therapies, and surgery are encouraged as a first choice. Until the pharmaceutical gods can control and profit from everything we consume, the interest in supplements and nutrition, and our freedom to choose our own course, will be limited as much as possible. Codex Alimentarius is a subcommittee of the United Nations." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"Commonly used to evaluate the safety of health products, foods, agricultural products, and pharmaceutical compounds for human use, these tests included the following: a 14-Day Acute Oral LD50 Toxicity study, a 90-Day Sub-Acute Oral Toxicity study, a Dissolution test, and an Ames test. This intense level of safety testing is seldom seen within the nutriceutical industry. The Bentleys, however, demanded it, and the results were impressive. SierraSil came through all of the tests with zero indication of toxicity. Let's take a closer look at each of the tests now." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.) "We also strongly support the FDA's stance against inaccurate or exaggerated claims relating to health products. Our concerns with the FDA's implementation of its regulatory responsibilities, however, is in the seemingly selective way it determines and implements its decisions regarding post-market surveillance of drugs and supplements after their release to the consumer. The FDA appears to lack balance, manpower, and focus in policing its regulatory obligations. Simply put, the FDA appears to place much greater focus on nutritional supplements than it does on prescription drugs." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"Today, aloe vera has gained such great popularity that it is being used in many cosmetics and health products. Aloe vera juice that is taken internally has been found to be effective in almost every illness, including cancer, heart disease and AIDS.

"What they will do is tighten up a situation where health supplements are sold, in the UK at least, in open defiance of labelling laws which were enacted to control what can and cannot be said about health products.

"What we're looking at is what is the right way to communicate that to consumers. You will definitely . . . see us becoming more aggressive in the area . . . Fundamentally, we sell a lot of whole grain products, products with healthy oils and vegetables, so there is a story there.

"The FTC also monitors advertising for health products, though the FDA does much of the surveillance of prescription drug ads. Advertising for medical procedures, diet supplements, and alternative medicines all fall under FTC scrutiny. As an example, in 2001 the FTC cracked down on six dietary supplement companies that were advertising their products as cures for cancer, AIDS, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease. One company sold a Zapper Electrical Unit to "treat and cure" Alzheimer's disease and AIDS." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.
