Despite the science, the FDA allows harmful hormone replacement therapy drugs to stay on the market
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
What's most fascinating about this news is not the news itself: it's the
admission that the FDA allows the continued widespread selling of
hormone replacement therapy (HRT) drugs even though they have been
clinically shown to cause breast cancer and heart disease! Can you
imagine what magnitude of wrath the FDA would unleash on any herb that
produced similar results? If echinacea were found to cause heart
disease, for example, the entire medical machine -- doctors, journals,
the FDA and the whole lot -- would join together in a headline-grabbing
outcry campaign against the herb. And the FDA would ban it in short
order, too, just like they banned ephedra, an herb linked to a mere 150
or so deaths. Hormone replacement therapy, in contrast, has now
contributed to cancer and heart disease for over a hundred million
patients in the last decade alone. How's that for a scale of
comparison? And yet the FDA remains silent. It's no secret why: the
FDA is promoting profitable drugs while engaging in a massive campaign
to unfairly discredit anything that's outside the control of Big
Medicine. That's why I'm a big proponent of FDA reform.
