 REPPED: Here's a brief overview of some of the campaigns of terror the FDA has initiated against natural healers, nutritional supplement companies and other organizations. Many were conducted using armed agents wielding assault rifles and automatic weapons, dressed in body armor. All of them were intended to destroy natural medicine, thereby protecting the profits of drug companies and conventional medicine practitioners.
This is the true history of the FDA that the FDA doesn't wan't you to know! |

 Given that so many of the big, profitable "health" companies out there who get all the press are really in the business of selling junk products made with junk ingredients, I feel it's my obligation to help publicize the small, innovative companies that actually offer products of extremely high quality. These are companies you'll never see sponsoring a big trade show like Expo West, but they're the kind of companies that genuine natural health followers absolutely adore.

 But that's not the way that mortgage companies think about these things.
That would be too unprofitable for the mortgage companies. They have to devise a system -- a con -- to extract more money from you even though you're trying to pay down the balance. So here's what they do. They will take that extra $500 you've paid, and instead of applying that to your principle, they apply it as a pre-payment of your next month's interest.
Let me repeat that. Instead of using that $500 to pay down your principle, they are applying it as a prepayment against the next month's interest. |
| And a lot of mortgage companies do this. If you're not financially sharp, you may not notice it's happening at all. You send in the money, you think they're applying it in the right way, but they don't. And 10 or 20 years later, you end up owing a lot more than you should owe, thanks to these shell games by mortgage companies.
So what can you do to defend yourself against this unscrupulous tactic used by some of the largest banks in the world? Well, it's simple. Keep track of your principle each and every month. |

 They're controlling the budgets of these media companies by running so many ads. Because of this, the media companies out there don't want to say anything bad about these prescription drugs.
And so the message out there continues to be, "Take more drugs! Look, here's a miracle drug for cancer; here's a miracle drug for erectile dysfunction; here's a miracle drug for sinus congestion, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure..." They just name one thing after another. |

 A few smaller, niche-market companies are offering real food these days, but you have to search them out. companies like Ewehorn make honest cereals with no garbage ingredients, and there are lots of raw foods companies that produce truly outstanding food products (such as www.RawBakery.com). FoodsAlive (www.FoodsAlive.com) also makes real food, as do dozens of other companies I could mention.
But the real secret to being a smart, skeptical consumer is to read the ingredients labels yourself. Analyze the ingredients and ignore the health claims on the front of the package. |

 It is my hope that companies that continue using hydrogenated oils will ultimately be held legally and financially responsible for the harm their products are causing consumers.
I believe there is justification for a global class action lawsuit against food companies that insist on using this ingredient even after scientific proof leaves no doubt that it causes harm, and even death, when consumed over a long period of time. This is not simply a question of consumer choice, as the food industry attempts to claim. |

 The ACS is the wealthiest non-profit in America and has very close ties to pharmaceutical companies, mammography equipment companies and other corporations that profit from cancer. Notice the name, too: It isn't the American Anti-Cancer Society, it's the American Cancer Society! What they really stand for is right in the name!

 Free speech" is granted to pharmaceutical companies, but not to dietary supplement companies. It is my belief that free speech is not free if it only selectively allowed.
So we have a conspiratorial trio now working in concert to keep you stupid and diseased: The mainstream media (which takes billions of dollars each year from drug companies), the drug companies (which earn billions of dollars each year selling advertised drugs), and the FDA (which enforces the monopoly and eliminates competition by censoring truthful information about dietary supplements). |

 Across Big Pharma, what companies do is fund and design studies which are carefully constructed in a way that will only highlight the positive effects of the drugs. In those rare circumstances where reality overpowers the design of the study and the negative effects are quite apparent, many companies go out of their way to suppress or cover up those findings and distance themselves from those study results. |

 Food companies will produce whatever consumers buy, so when consumer demand shifts to healthier, raw food bars, that's what companies will gravitate towards! (Even the big food companies, too.)
By buying these raw food bars, you are supporting small, passionate companies that are offering genuine food. You're creating a marketplace that can have a positive impact on others due to the success of these raw food bars in the retail channel.
Plus, you're supporting companies who support organic farming. That has a huge impact on protecting the environment. |

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. |

 Most of our clients—most of the companies involved in motorsports team sponsorship—are marketing to families. How can you market to families without marketing to kids, too?"
But NASCAR officials quickly found other major sponsors to fill the space left by Big Tobacco. In 2004 race fans saw the No. 6 Viagra Ford go up against the No. 18 Wellbutrin Chevrolet. In other words, it was prescription-enhanced sex competing against prescription-enhanced happiness.
Parents could now clothe their children in No. 6 Viagra leather jackets. |
| The money for these events comes from companies' marketing departments. At the same time, legislatures should question the appropriateness of the financial grants the industry gives to state health departments and the agencies that operate the Medicaid program.
Newspapers and television stations must stop turning the press releases and videos they receive from drug marketers into news stories. The resulting news reports often quote physicians who are being paid by the manufacturer of the featured drug but fail to disclose the doctors' conflicts of interest. |
| The financial analysts ranked the companies by the number of drugs they sold that had reached that golden benchmark of one billion dollars in sales in a single year.
One day I asked Daniel Vasella, the chairman of Novartis, how his company went about creating the blockbusters that investors demanded. He talked about how a company must first have a product that satisfied "an unmet need."
"Much of it is data-driven, information-driven," Vasella explained. "You create a desire."
Pharmacia called its new disease "overactive bladder. |
| Then there were the companies that tried to extend their rich monopolies by introducing what they said were new and improved versions of products that had become wildly successful. Schering-Plough was preparing to sell Clarinex, which it said was even better than its best-selling allergy drug Claritin. Forest Laboratories brought out Lexapro, claiming it had beaten its star product, the antidepressant Celexa, in clinical trials. And AstraZeneca began selling its new "purple pill. |

| In those rare circumstances where reality overpowers the design of the study and the negative effects are quite apparent, many companies go out of their way to suppress or cover up those findings and distance themselves from those study results. We've seen in many cases how these companies have attempted to suppress the publication of these studies or have threatened the careers of scientists who have administered studies that produced negative findings.
Drug researchers know if they don't produce positive results, they are very likely to find themselves out of work. |

| Using hydrogenated oils in foods is a strategy used by manufacturing companies to enhance the taste of their foods, add calories to their foods and extend the shelf life and shelf stability of those foods. This all adds up to higher profits for food companies. The real costs of using this ingredient, however, are shifted to consumers (a process called externalizing costs). |

| Food companies that knowingly put this poison into foods should be heavily fined. Better yet, hydrogenated oils should just be banned like the World Health Organization advised in 1978. It should never be allowed in the food supply, and companies that use the ingredient should have their inventory confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration, which occasionally confiscates so-called "dangerous herbs" when they post a threat to public safety, but never confiscates dangerous foods due to their hydrogenated oil content. |

| Products that I can see and experience earn a lot more attention than those I only read about. companies like EmpoweredFoods.com and FruitFast.com were smart: They sent samples to my office, along with a cover letter and impressive literature. That allowed me to see, touch and experience the products myself! You can send products for consideration to: Truth Publishing, 1820 E. River Rd, #106, Tucson, AZ 85750. Tel: 520-232-9300
5) Have patience. I'm still sitting on lots of great products that I haven't recommended yet. |
| That's why most of the big "health product" companies don't bother sending me samples: Because most of their products are crap! (PowerBar comes to mind... in my own personal opinion, of course...) But products like Larabar are far superior, and I will only promote products of extremely high quality.
Just remember: No junk. Oh yeah, and one more thing: Don't send me multivitamins made with cyanocobalamin. I know I've recommended products in the past made with that synthetic form of vitamin B-12, but I've learned more since then and I no longer recommend any supplements made with cyanocobalamin. |
| Note: We're looking for companies to promote outside the U.S., too! We have lots of readers in Canada, Australia and the U.K., so if you're a health product company in these countries, let's talk! We can get your message out to a global audience.

| Drug companies exploit this seduction, this form of influence, to create demand for products in the minds of consumers, and then to make sure these consumers go to their doctors' offices and request those products, thus generating sales.
How the drug machine really operates
And of course the pharmacists are all involved in this; they're just filling out the orders. They're like the little machine grinders in this whole system, this whole con of organized medicine. Somebody’s actually got to fill the bottles and dispense the pills, and that's what the pharmacists do. |
| Because of this, the media companies out there don't want to say anything bad about these prescription drugs.
And so the message out there continues to be, "Take more drugs! Look, here's a miracle drug for cancer; here's a miracle drug for erectile dysfunction; here's a miracle drug for sinus congestion, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure..." They just name one thing after another. They run the ads, the patients hear the drug name, they run into their doctors' offices to request the drug, and they get a prescription. What a con! |

 For White, while company sponsorship often plays a role in these activities, companies also have a "shared agenda" with the other players about the main messages that need to be communicated. Yet independent health advocates like the Alberta Consumers' Association, and independent researchers like those at the University of British Columbia, do not share the same "agenda" or agree at all with White as to what are the "main messages. |

| Pharmaceutical companies are the same way. They want somebody who's stuck on their drugs, who depends on them. That's why you often read about "disease management" in organized medicine’s literature. “Disease management” is even used in reference to chronic stress, which is a big killer. It depletes antioxidants, raises blood pressure, is bad for your cardiovascular health, and even promotes cancer. But when those in organized medicine talk about stress, they often use the term "stress management." Let's manage your stress, so that you can have a little bit of stress each and every day. |
