Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Have you tried an even more inexpensive treatment? They even have a money-back guarantee. http://www.altcancer.com/cansema.htm They have an almost 100% success in the removal of dermal or epidermal malignant lesions, including basal cell, squamous cell epitheliomas and even melanomas -- regardless of type or size... or the treatment is free and payment is refunded.

I have reoccuring breast cancer stage four. I chose to have surgery on a cancerous node in my neck last Feb. send it to a lab in the Atlanta area that my Dr. knew about. They made a vaccine out of the tumor and I inject that under the skin along with an injection of Interlukin 2 and some kind of stimulating factor. I went to Atlanta and they taught me how to do this it was no big deal. They send me my meds after a blood test every mo. So I have one mo. with injections once a week then I have a mo. off. That is the protocol. Now the FDA is saying the meds can't be mailed to the patients that the patient's must make the trip to the Atlanta area lab to recieve thier simple injections. This puts a real hardship on the cancer patient who does not live in that area. For me it means driving to Atlanta (6 hours) getting an injection I could easily give myself then turning around and driving 6 hours home. I must make this trip now once a week for the month of treatment. Of course I am willing and able to do this as I am not sick at this point. What about those other patients who are ill and maybe live too far away. What about the patients as far away as Canada who are on this vaccine?? Probably they will have to stop taking this treatment. What is going on here??? I think it is clear that the FDA is into harrassment of any Drs. or researchers who are doing treatments that are not the usual chemo,radiation, or surgery.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2000 Report Share Posted August 27, 2000 I was looking at a disciplinary letter sent to Aubrey by the FDA the other day and decided to browse some of the other letters. I came across one that I believe pertains to most of us as it appears that this woman operated a smaller business similar to what many of us operate. You can see the letter at: http://www.fda.gov/foi/warning_letters/d1888b.pdf I took a look at the letter mentioned above. This is quite scary stuff! Would have been nice to see the labels of the products in question. Maybe this is my ignorance showing but....it mentions a facial toner and it sounds to me like just calling something a facial toner makes it a " drug " . Also the soap mentioned...Almond Sage Scrub Hand Made Soap...the letter states that it is labeled as an acne drug product. I can't tell that just from the name. I'm guessing it was from other verbiage on the label...no? Just curious, Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Hi. Deby here. Yikes! is right. Makes me want to hide in a closet! And cancel my order for jars. And stop making lotion (except it's better than anything I ever bought! ). And consider my sanity for even thinking I could do this. But there has to be a way, doesn't there? I mean, all I want to do is share this wonderful stuff with people I know ( maybe a few I don't ) and make enough to keep going. Sigh..... where there's a will, there's a way?

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 May I ask a favor? I have a tiny little hard drive on a very old machine and can't read pdf files. (No room for the reader). I was hoping to get a new machine this spring, but it looks like I am instead getting braces for my oldest....anyway. *g* Would someone mind sending me the text of this? I would appreciate it.

Gotta stow the four dogs, the > hairballs, and find a clean room quick! LOL That is funny Cindi, you are probably not alone though. After submitting the FDA post I had many people contact me off list with similar questions. I don't have the time to answer each individual post, so I will try to cover it here on the list. I have wrote on labeling laws several times on this list. Many people have listened, but others think that I go a little overboard and have pooh poohed me for it. Still others have said that the so-called natural companies that mis-label must be right, based solely on their size. We can see from the Wisconsin incident that this is not so, that the FDA does crack down on people that mis-label and believe me, you don't want to be on the wrong side of government. You could, be fined, you could be put out of business, or you could end up in a very costly court case. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't afford any of those things to happen to me. To the people who wrote to me though, I think most of you are over reacting. Many of you were concerned about soap. The lady in WI was making drug claims. It really doesn't matter to the FDA whether it was directly on her labels, her brochures, web site, or even word of mouth, when it comes to a drug claim, all of this would be considered part of her labeling. If you list your ingredients properly, you can make all the cosmetic claims you want and the FDA can't do anything about it. Cosmetics claims are mostly a play on words. If you want to know how to do it, read the labels from the giants in the industry, not the natural manufacturers. I don't know why anyone who lists their ingredients would want to hide behind the soap exemption, because behind the exemption, you can't make any claims. The same advice goes for lotions and creams and any of your other products. Make all the cosmetic claims that you want, but don't even hint at a drug claim. It may be a good idea to have an expiration date, but I don't think it is required on cosmetics, although I could be wrong. Testing is a good idea, but not always practical for a small manufacturer, however, you should keep a sample of each batch. You do need a good preservation system and in order for it to work properly, you also need a good scale, preferably one that will read to 1/10 gram. Under preserving is a bad idea and so is over preserving. Without a good scale, you will end up doing one or the other, and grams are a heck of a lot more accurate than parts of an ounce, especially with small quantities. Currently, I know of no natural preservative that will work with lotions and creams. If there was one, the giant cosmetic companies would be using it because they are well aware of how huge the market is for natural products. If anyone thinks there is one out there, I would be real interested in seeing independent lab testing to prove it. This is the other area that can get you in deep doo doo where you could lose everything you own, and is not worth taking a risk on. You won't be able to hide behind a corporate veil on this one, I see officers of public companies getting sued all the time. I didn't intend this to be so long, but I'm trying to answer list members questions that either asked questions on or off list. Remember, label properly, make all the cosmetic claims that you want. Don't ever, even hint at a drug claim. We know what our products do and our customers know what they do, it is unfortunate that we can't say it. Don't forget the FDA site for the WI lady related solely to drug claims, had she used cosmetic claims, she wouldn't have been in trouble. Pat. Peace, Joy, Serenity House of Scents tm.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Liz... I do not know about anyone else's more complete Acrobat reader, but my free acrobat reader does not allow copying of documents. If there is a way, I wanna know it.... But it does allow printing of them. So, if nothing else comes up, and especially if you live in reasonable snail mail distance (I am in Mass.) you might send me your snail mail address off-list, and I could print and send.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Interesting snippet from Reuters: Long-term data not needed for depression drugs: panel 1 hour, 8 minutes ago Drug manufacturers seeking U.S. approval for drugs to treat major depression should not be required to first provide data on how well they work long-term, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel said unanimously on Tuesday. FDA officials are considering changing the requirements for companies who seek to market drugs for depression and other psychiatric conditions. The agency usually follows the advice of its advisory panels. http://news./s/nm/20051025/hl_nm/long_term_data_not_needed_for_depression_dc;_ylt=Auy3Y6__IVzNY5XHdoD7nLQQ.3QA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl I guess we don’t need to bother studying the long-term efficacy of anti-depressants for major depression. We already know about their effectiveness causing teenage suicides in the short term anyway! I wonder whose palms are getting greased on this one! Glenn Glenn F. Gumaer, B.S., D.C.
