Essentially it is a form of crowd control-The FDA has approved many drugs, food additives etc. that have proven later to be NOT safe-so you are correct, its mostly about who has the $$. I don't believe anything the FDA tells us-The FDA does not care about the safety of the people-it cares about its own survival as an organization, so if alternative therapies work for you then use them, but do not be so mistrustful that it overrides your common sense! There are times when conventional medicine is necessary-use your own good judgment, research and listen to your own Body!
An interesting book is "Natural Cures They Don't want You to Know about" by Kevin Trudeau-he tends to get a bit dramatic and is very good at promoting himself, but if you read through all that there is some very interesting information on this very subject. I also recommend "The Wellness Revolution: How to Make a Fortune in the Next Trillion Dollar Industry by Paul Zane Pilzer. The title is a little misleading but this book is so informative! Great reading!
Don't give up-things will change soon. They are already but its going to take time.
Peace & Good Health!

The FDA deals mostly with drugs that treat the symptoms of health problems only and not the causes. If the causes are overcome then people wouldn't need drugs and the pharmaceutical companies and medical profession would suffer financially and possibly be wiped out financially.
Natural treatments and herbs tackle the cause of the health problem and that is why in most cases you get no side effects.
Our bodies protest against the invasion of foreign materials and poisons such as prescription drugs and that is why you often get such dreadful side effects from prescription drugs.
Natural and herbal medicine has fewer and much less severe side effects than prescription drugs and often you get no side effects at all.

They just want to cover up the problem instead of curing you. This way the pharmaceutical company's keeps making money. If they provided the cure they would go out of business. That is why the government won't approve natural herbs.
I have stopped taking prescribed medicine and I look on the Internet for natural healing herbs for what ever is the problem. After a few months, it is gone. Natural takes longer but it is better and you don't have to keep taking them once you are cured. Best of all - NO SIDE EFFECTS!!!

You are right. The FDA will not approve natural herbs and remedies.... supposedly because there is no way to control the quality. Because they are natural it is difficult to control bugs, pesticides, etc. Most synthetic drugs ARE made from natural things. Aspirin for example, the main ingredientis tree bark... I forget witch tree.... Crap, now that's going to botherme all day, darn it.
Anyway, acupuncturists, herbalists and holistic doctors ARE recognized as real doctors. Sort of. I actually go to a holistic doctor who has a full medical degree. If doing things the all natural way isn't working, he switches to modern medicine. He's wonderful! I have never felt better in my life. He tells me when to add more green veggies to my diet, when I need to cut down on meat, etc. He tests my blood and helps me keep healthy the natural way.... but I do have other health problems that require modern medicine. Natural medicines help me stay healthy, they help me get better, but when something serious happens, then I switch.

Let me tell you something. This is the exact same reason why we are not allowed to smoke marijuana. The hemp industry was about to take over. They designed car interiors totally using hemp. Even clothes, shoes, EVERYTHING. It was about to replace many other fabrics - amongst others, cotton.
This is why weed is prohibited. It's all about the money and the industry, never about what's really good for us.
PLUS: Why would you get rid of all those diseases? The whole freakin market would collapse if all of a sudden cancer would vanish! Do you know how huge the drug market is? The country can't afford healthy people! Cancer is a business! AIDS is a business! Every freakin disease in this world is a business and requires drugs that come from companies that are all about the money and not the health.
You can't even trust scientists and pharmacists. Some disease come from the people we trust, only for them to come up with a cure which we have to buy. WE ARE HELPLESS. GET IT RIGHT!

FDA has some regulations in synthetic medicines. There are not many rules to follow today in natural remedies as a medicine or health foods. There are 2 main reasons:
1) Giant companies & Funds dominate world politics - such as Rochf***, Du P***, Johns**&Jo***, Proct***& G*** (I can not say the full name, guess who?)
2) Due to research fundings, natural medicine & natural foods are not well studied.
I personally am doing researches on the natural ingredients. I can not find many others like me working on the truth and don't care about money.
One of the pioneer was worth mentioned. His name is Dr. Johnathan Wright. (MD). I met him in Seattle approx 20 years ago. He used vitamins and natural ingredients to treat many elderly in mid 80th. One time he was surrounded by FBI. FBI took all his equipments and medicines etc that was worth over $3M. Today, we have slightly better research environment. However, fundings is not available easily. You talk about 1 to a million ratio of fundings comparing natural to synthetic medicines.
By the way, some of these politicians (involved in synthetic fields) are actually taking natural remedies themselves.

The FDA has members of the pharmaceutical industry on its board of advisers. There are blatant "conflict of interest" issues that would not be tolerated in any other agency. The FDA has knowingly passed unsafe drugs because they are "in bed" with the pharmaceutical industry.
Herbs cannot be patented therefore they are no use to the pharmaceutical industry.

The FDA wants to take herbal remedies off the market.
They interfere with the Medical Revenue.
Most people that utilize herbal remedies are aware of their bodies and generally do not need the help of a Medical Practioner.
They should incorporate it all and teach us all how to stay Healthy.

As it stands I bet they only want to make MONEY on our diseases...
Hospitals suck. And especially Romanian hospitals...
Medicine market sucks. Especially Romanian medicine market.
The only situation where I go to a hospital or take medicine is when I'm in severe pain, dying or have to have a limb reattached or an eye stitched back. Period.
If you live in the US you shouldn't worry much about anything if you are healthy. And if you get sick, look for COMPETENT help.
And yeah. Natural doesn't ALWAYS mean better! Keep that also in mind...

I think you need to learn how to write so you can convey a coherent thought.
Yes the government is bad and the people who make lots of money from herbal remedies are good
