Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger


As is detailed in articles I've written on this topic (click here to see the latest), the FDA has spearheaded many armed raids against natural medicine clinics, vitamin companies and even pet stores. Did you ever wonder how the armed agents who lead these assaults are trained in such tactics?

In this CounterThink cartoon, I imagine there might be a live fire training facility where potential FDA agents with automatic rifles practice armed assaults on herbalists, naturopaths and Chinese medicine practitioners. What would a new trainee think about who they're supposed to shoot? Most people would probably think you should shoot the drug dealers and spare the natural healers, but in this cartoon, I depict the FDA as reversing the situation and demanding that the trainee "shoot the herbalists!"

Of course, this is an exaggeration. In reality, FDA agents don't shoot herbalists. They merely threaten to shoot them while they arrest them.

And in reality, the FDA doesn't truck around the country with an assault wagon full of armed agents. They simply team up with local law enforcement officials to do the dirty work for them: Sherriff's departments, police departments, and even federal DEA agents. The guys who work for these organizations never really question the validity of any FDA raid request; they simply rally the troops, lock 'n load, and smash down the doors of any building the FDA says is being used to "commit nutritional crimes."

That's what the FDA is really going after, by the way -- individuals and companies that commit nutritional crimes. That's a crime committed by anyone who dares to tell the truth about the healing effects of nutritional supplements or superfoods while, at the same time, selling such products. In the eyes of the FDA, anyone engaged in education who also markets healing products is breaking the law. Unless, of course, the products they're pushing are harmful medications, in which case it's all perfectly acceptable.

Kind of makes you wonder what kind of world we live in, doesn't it?

The suppression of natural medicine

With the FDA spearheading the effort, herbalists, naturopaths and traditional healers have been prosecuted, arrested, and run out of the country. The FDA, in association with the American Medical Association and the enormous influence of Big Pharma, has managed to suppress nutritional knowledge and natural medicine for decades. Thanks to that effort, most members of the public -- and the majority of medical doctors in practice today -- remain nutritionally illiterate. Natural cancer clinics have been shut down, medicinal herbs are routinely discredited, and the population remains in a state of perpetual disease. Which is, of course, the whole point of all this: Keep the population diseased, and you maximize the profits for drug companies.
