Re: Trudeau

[Guest guest]

Trudeau is not the only person who's targeted by the FDA. The book that

Inga recently told me to look for called, Left for Dead by Dick Quinn had the

same thing happen to him. He was told about taking 3 capsules of Red Cayenne

Pepper daily after a failed bypass surgery. He ignored it, until he found that

his surgery didn't do him justice, but hindered his abilities even 6 months

after surgery. The dr's offereded him 'another bypass' but he refused. He

started manufacturing his products (cayenne pepper with other things) to help

with heart/various health issues that was also being carried by Swanson until

the FDA 'intervened' because of the claims that Cayenne Pepper was 'good' for

heart disease. Swanson pulled all the products from their catalog and they were

no longer sold unless you bought them directly from Dick Quinn's company.

Since a lot of these remedies aren't medical, and are spices, or herbal in

nature, they don't require 'expensive drug prescriptions', they can't be

patented, and it's illegal for you to say that this does this, or that does

that. (scary eh?). The FDA has the resources to go after whomever they chose,

and they do so without blinking. They have the money and power to persue it

indefinately and will do just that on natural 'remedies' if you openly publicize

such claims.

After reading Left for Dead, I'm convinced that Dick Quinn did what he had to do

to keep himself alive, after dr's promised him a life that would be 'better'

after bypass surgery. About the same as we're told that this thyroid drug, or

that SSRI drug will make us 'new and improved' and when the failure is there,

and the miracle drug doesn't work, then it's somehow our fault.

Dick Quinn also touches on the 'impotency issues' that most heart attack victims

suffer from after taking statins, blood thinners, bp meds, etc. Amazingly

enough he states that even the sexual dysfunction most men experience after

heart attacks and bypass surgerys is easily remedied by the Cayenne Pepper dose

that he himself took daily. If he had marketed that claim, they'd have gone

after him again, which they did on several different types of 'remedy's he

marketed. Now, can you see the drug companies screaming because a simple

'spice' that you can buy in any grocery store that will help with erections,

when they have such wonder drugs as 'viagra' that cost an arm, a leg, and a

couple of kids. lol. Yeah, The FDA sucks in my opinion. They aren't near as

wonderful as they are cracked up to be in a many areas, even though they prolly

have done some good at some point or another. I think they are to be feared in

many cases.

's book was just to reiterate that the FDA stands in the way of a lot of

these things being known, because it's not in your best interest to tell what

these things are. I think we wasted 30.00 on a book that legally could tell us

nothing more than we already know. If it's not patentable, then we're in

trouble.

This is an excerpt from the link that follows. This link has a lot of good

info on lawsuits won or in progress. I read and read on this. The FDA has been

both a blessing (in some cases) and a curse (in bed with Big Pharma). Some of

this stuff is poppy cock and some is good justice, I suppose.

9.7.04 - Trudeau, whom the FTC says has appeared or marketed hundreds of

infomercials, has signed a consent agreement under which he will pay a $2

million penalty and be banned from appearing in, producing, or disseminating

future infomercials that advertise any type of product, service, or program to

the public, except for truthful infomercials for books, newsletters, and other

informational publications. In addition, he is prohibited from making health

claims for any type of product, service, or program in any form of advertising.

The current case involved false claims that Coral Calcium Supreme, a dietary

supplement purportedly made from Japanese marine coral, provided the same amount

of bioavailable calcium as two gallons of milk, could be absorbed into the body

faster than ordinary calcium, and could cure cancer, heart disease, high blood

pressure, lupus, and other illnesses. In a separate infomercial, Trudeau claimed

that Biotape, an adhesive strip, provided permanent relief from severe pain,

including debilitating back pain, and pain from arthritis, sciatica, and

migraines. (CHD)

Do you have his book?

ok - so - where do we go for a source to find out what these things can do for

us? since the FDA won't allow it? Are there any good books out there that tell

us that? I know there are some herb books that supposedly tell us what they

do????????????????????

Thanks!

We used to be a free society, then I was seeing shades of socialism. Now

it's starting to look like communism to me. No longer a free society. What

happened to the Constitution of the United States, where it says Freedom of

Speech? We shouldn't be free to kill people or trample on others rights,

yet our government has got us to where we can't even breathe. I'm beginning

to know how those folks in those red countries feel.

Then when the heck are they going to remove all those dangerous commercials

on TV about decreasing your cortisol in order to lose weight, i.e.,

Cortislim and others?! This just amazes me. I'm thinking the Conspiracy

Theory: If you let people go on taking products that are going to put them

at death's door, then they will have to go to doctors and get prescribed $$$

drugs, but if you let them take medicines or natural means to CURE things,

then you won't be spending much money in the healthcare system, right?

Re: Re: Trudeau

> yes - the infomercial is excellent! he is right on.

> problem is - he says there are natural cures that the fda doesn't want you

to know about. Implies he tells you in his book. I've not read his book. but

when you go to buy it, there is that disclaimer. He apparently doesn't tell

the cures. He mentions that the FDA passed a law saying that it is illegal

to tell what natural things do for diseases. AND he explains that the FDA

has taken upon itself to name problems as diseases, that aren't truly

diseases - just to control what can be said. Say that the FDA said that

Constipation is now a disease, natural cures for constipation wouldn't be

permitted to say they can help with constipation.
