(NaturalNews) In January of 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to compounding pharmacies around the country. That warning demanded pharmacies stop selling bioidentical hormones as an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy drugs (HRT), insisting that compounding pharmacies were making "false claims" about an "unapproved drug." What was this so-called "unapproved drug?" Estriol, a natural hormone that has been manufactured by the human body for nearly four hundred thousand years.

Apparently, the FDA now believes that nature's own hormones and compounds must first receive FDA approval before they can be used. I wonder if pregnant women whose bodies manufacture their own estriol as a normal part of pregnancy will soon be arrested for manufacturing and "self-dosing" with unapproved drugs...

The FDA's actions against bioidentical hormones, not surprisingly, were spurred by Wyeth, manufacturer of Prempro, the artificial, non-bioidentical version of estriol that's used in high-profit HRT drugs. Following a "citizen's petition" by Wyeth (a laughable concept, given that the petition actually came from a wealthy corporation, not a citizen), the FDA launched an all-out assault against compounding pharmacies as a way to eliminate the competition for synthetic HRT drugs patented by Wyeth and other drug companies.

This is the FDA engaging in business as usual: Monopolize the market, eliminate the competition, terrorize natural product retailers and lie to the public. We've seen it time and time again, and bioidentical hormones are simply the latest natural medicine to be targeted by the FDA.

Natural is dangerous, artificial is safe
