Big Pharma Meds Were NEVER Designed to Cure You (Find Out How the FDA Was Involved)

The definition of a 'drug' was redefined in 1938, creating a monopoly for Big Pharma by classifying natural remedies as drugs and suppressing information about their health benefits, which leads to a system focused on managing symptoms rather than curing root causes.

• The 1938 definition of 'drug' created a pharmaceutical monopoly, classifying natural remedies as drugs and restricting health claims.

• The FDA protects drug patents and restricts free speech on nutrient benefits, preventing consumers from accessing vital health information.

• Drugs primarily manage symptoms by inhibiting specific enzymes, often overlooking root causes and leading to lifelong medication with potential side effects.

Since the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined 'drug' to include anything improving an abnormal body state, the FDA has protected pharmaceutical companies from competition, classifying natural remedies as drugs and hindering their promotion. This regulatory framework prevents the communication of truthful information about nutrient benefits and allows the medical industry to focus on symptom management with patented drugs, often leading to lifelong medication and overlooking root causes.

Redefinition of 'Drug'

• 00:00:05 In 1938, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined 'drug' to include anything intended for 'cure, treatment, prevention, mitigation of disease,' effectively granting Big Pharma a monopoly. This definition classifies natural remedies like prune juice or garlic as drugs if claims are made about their health benefits, hindering communication of truthful information about nutrients and their potential to reduce disease risk to consumers.

FDA's Role and Market Control

• 00:03:08 The drug industry benefits from unique patent life protection, with the federal government and FDA serving as patent protection police. This system allows the FDA to act as a 'super editor,' imposing prior restraints on speech by forbidding claims about nutrient efficacy unless approved, which goes against the First Amendment's intent to prevent government control over speech and press. This protects drug companies and perpetuates a medical system focused on creating awareness of diseases and treating them with medication.

Natural Remedies vs. Drugs

• 00:05:24 Numerous randomized control studies demonstrate natural remedies often outperform drugs in effectiveness and have fewer side effects. Examples include St. John's Wort for depression, red yeast rice for cardiovascular risk, black cohosh for menopausal symptoms, berberine for type 2 diabetes, lavender oil for anxiety, saw palmetto for urinary symptoms, and wormwood for Crohn's disease. Despite credible research, these natural solutions cannot be promoted for disease treatment without billions of dollars for FDA approval, perpetuating the 'folklore' perception of ancient remedies.

Symptom Management vs. Root Cause

• 00:09:08 Most drugs function by inhibiting a single enzyme in a biochemical pathway, like finasteride inhibiting 5-alpha reductase to reduce enlarged prostate and hair loss, rather than addressing the underlying cause. This approach means drugs merely manage symptoms without correcting the problem, leading to lifelong usage and potential severe side effects due to their potent, aggressive action. For example, high DHT, the target of finasteride, often stems from insulin resistance, chronic stress, liver problems, or low zinc, which doctors typically omit in favor of symptom treatment.
