Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | One good question I was asked in response to my story on fda raids was, "Why don't you list any RECENT raids by the FDA?"
The answer is because all the bad publicity that followed the fda raids carried out in decades past taught the FDA an important lesson in tyranny: Never operate with the appearance of tyranny. Americans don't like having guns shoved in their faces. They're fine with having their rights stolen away by legal or legislative maneuvers, they just don't want guns shoved in their faces. | | By far, the most questions have been asked about my mention of Scientology as being a target of fda raids. Some readers have railed against Scientology, and others have even said I was "endorsing" Scientology by merely mentioning them in the article detailing various fda raids. Let me be clear here: Scientology was included in the article for the simple reason that they were raided by the FDA. If the FDA had broken down the doors of a building belonging to the Nation of Islam (or any church / organization), I would have mentioned the Nation of Islam instead. | | So after the era of fda raids ended with the passage of DSHEA in 1994, the agency went covert, so to speak, and they've waged their war against health freedom using laws, regulations and guidelines rather than guns and body armor. It's worked beautifully for them. Following the legalization of television drug ads in late 1997, the pharmaceutical business exploded and has only increased ever since.
So now the FDA primarily uses bureaucratic tactics instead of law enforcement tactics. Hence the new CAM Guidelines. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | It contains a lot of new information that's never been publishing on NewsTarget, including a full timeline of all known fda raids against clinics, vitamin shops, health food stores and even a church!
More CounterThink cartoons on health, environment and more
You've already seen a few dozen CounterThink cartoon published on NewsTarget, but throughout 2007, we're rolling out a steady stream of smart, hilarious cartoons on topics that really deserve some hard-hitting satirical humor: the FDA, global warming, drug companies, car companies, TV advertising, nutrition in schools and much more. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Just so you don't think I'm inventing all this information, read my book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them, which documents over a dozen fda raids on vitamin shops, medical clinics and even a church! I even describe the FDA's effort to order to destruction of recipe books that promoted the use of an herbal sweetener.)
To better support the free flow of educational information about nutrition and its positive health effects, I say we end the censorship of food and supplement companies and let them tell the truth about their products. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | See my documented history of armed fda raids against alternative doctors and vitamin companies in my book Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them.
It's all so hilarious that it makes you wonder how the so-called "quack" police can continue to peddle their pro-drug propaganda with a straight face. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | REPPED: The FDA has a long history of attacking and suppressing health freedoms (see our article, Tyranny in the USA: The true history of fda raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies), but did you know the agency might now be threatening religious freedom, too? Under the new CAM Guidelines issued by the FDA (see Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"), any items used in altering or enhancing the "function" of a living person are subject to regulation and control by the FDA. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | The answer is because all the bad publicity that followed the fda raids carried out in decades past taught the FDA an important lesson in tyranny: Never operate with the appearance of tyranny. Americans don't like having guns shoved in their faces. They're fine with having their rights stolen away by legal or legislative maneuvers, they just don't want guns shoved in their faces. | | My purpose in the article was to document fda raids, and since the FDA chose to target Scientology, that's what got included in the story. I have no intention of endorsing, debating or debunking anything whatsoever about Scientology. In fact, I know almost nothing about the organization other than the fact that I strongly agree with its position against modern psychiatry, as pursued by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (www.CCHR. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | See Tyranny in the USA: The true history of fda raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies)
Ordered the destruction of recipe books promoting stevia, a natural sweetener that competes with sales of aspartame (yes, the FDA actually ordered the books to be destroyed).
Been caught red-handed accepting bribes.
Voted to put deadly drugs right back on the market even after such drugs were recalled by their manufacturer.
Openly opposed the banning of junk food advertising to children during World Health Organization meetings. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | See the true history of armed fda raids here.) Preserving your access to alternative medicine products is something worth fighting for. We must meet the FDA's attempts at medical tyranny head on, with overwhelming public outrage, and we must keep at it until we restore the freedoms we have been promised by the founding father of our nation.
Today, America is neither a free democracy, nor a totalitarian police state. But it could go either way. And the direction it heads from this day forward is up to people like you. Will you demand your freedom? | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | And he could unleash a new wave of medical tyranny, reauthorizing the SWAT-style fda raids we saw in the 1980's and 1990's, all while claiming the CAM Guidelines document blazed the trail by spelling out specific examples of what needed to be done.
Just like the RICO Act and the Patriot Act, the FDA's CAM Guidelines could one day exceed their intended purpose and be used against Americans in ways we never imagined possible.

Next, parents who refuse to subject their children to the chemical pharmaceuticals proposed by Big Pharma will be criminalized, rounded up and incarcerated for "refusing to comply with public health policy." This is all being done by the State in the name of "protecting the children" from their own natural health parents. (Insane, isn't it, to think that protecting your child from toxic chemicals is now a criminal act in the United States? | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | For example, armed fda raids on vitamin companies would clearly qualify as acts of terrorism. Will FDA officials be arrested, charged with terrorist crimes, and shipped off to Guantanamo? Only in your wildest dreams...
How about the use of force by the DEA to destroy industrial hemp farms in the United States? This lucrative crop is grown legally in Canada and used to make hemp clothes, hemp rope, hemp seeds (which are rich in omega-3 oils) and all sorts of goods that we import from Canada, but here in the U.S. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Some readers have railed against Scientology, and others have even said I was "endorsing" Scientology by merely mentioning them in the article detailing various fda raids.

(•* 1991, San Leandro, Calif: A nutritional supplement company, NutriCology, is raided by 12 FDA agents. All FDA injunctions were eventually thrown out of court.
1991, Texas: The anti-cancer clinic of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, a brilliant researcher from Poland, is raided by the FDA and the Texas Department of Health. Just before the raids, the National Cancer Institute had announced they would evaluate the pioneering work of Dr. Burzynski, which involved cancer treatment using antineoplastons. With the help of health freedom champions like Dr. Julian Whitaker, Dr. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Read a full list of fda raids here. Dr. Gary Null has fielded decades of assaults by his critics. Dr. Julian Whitaker has long been targeted by various government agencies because of his support for breakthrough cancer treatment therapies (among other brave endeavors) that actually reverse cancer.
We're ALL enemies of the status quo. And that's because we show people a better way to be healthy. We teach people alternatives that don't require financial servitude to the drug companies. We challenge the FDA. Some of us call for criminal prosecution of the CEOs and top manager at drug companies. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | A history of tyranny: fda raids The 1963 Church of Scientology raid
In the early 1960s, the FDA got word of something it didn't like: The Church of Scientology was helping its members overcome mental problems with the use of a simple biofeedback device called the E-meter. With the market for psychotropic drugs so consistently profitable, and with Scientology gaining momentum in helping millions of people overcome severe emotional and mental problems, this E-meter had to be taken out of play... and fast!
To do so, the FDA filed a "libel of information" with a U.S. | Elaine Feuer See book keywords and concepts | B-VITAMIN BUST" - THE fda raids DR. JONATHAN WRIGHT'S ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CLINIC
The armed raid of Dr. Jonathan Wright's Kent, Washington office in May of 1992 is another example of how the FDA has tried to "protect" the public against "unsafe" products when there is no evidence that the product is unsafe.
Considered one of the world's experts in nutritional biochemistry, Dr. Wright received his undergraduate degree at Harvard and his medical degree from the University of Michigan. Dr. | Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | It is also the subject of continuing fda raids on distributors (Schuster, 1989).
To understand why this is so, it is necessary to look more closely at the substance itself and the long history of its use.
Although the term laetrile is of relatively recent coinage,* the chemical most often sold as laetrile has been used as a folk remedy for cancer or related diseases for many centuries. The laetrile dispensed to cancer patients today is another name for amygdalin, a glycoside, or type of carbohydrate, that occurs frequently in living organisms, especially in plants and their derivatives. | William Duffy See book keywords and concepts | In other fda raids, misbranding has been construed to mean that if a natural food store has a book on display which says that brown unpolished rice is good for what ails you, and better than white rice, the book has to be fifty feet away from the rice or it can be construed as a label "misbranding" the rice. The FDA can then proceed either to seize and burn the book or the rice. Since book burning reminds some sensitive people in the Western world of Hitler, the FDA has opted in favor of burning the rice, as has been done in Viet Nam, which strikes some people as OK. |
