The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics, animal foods & feed and veterinary products.
The FDA was empowered by the United States Congress to enforce the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which serves as the primary focus for the Agency; the FDA also enforces other laws, notably Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, many of which are not directly related to food or drugs. These include regulating lasers, cellular phones, condoms and control of disease on products ranging from certain household pets to sperm donation for assisted reproduction.
A pharmaceutical drug (also referred to as a pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical preparation, pharmaceutical product, medicinal product, medicine, medication, medicament, or simply a drug) is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. Drug therapy (pharmacotherapy) is an important part of the medical field and relies on the science of pharmacology for continual advancement and on pharmacy for appropriate management.
Drugs are classified in various ways. One of the key divisions is by level of control, which distinguishes prescription drugs (those that a pharmacist dispenses only on the order of a physician, physician assistant, or qualified nurse) from over-the-counter drugs (those that consumers can order for themselves). Another key distinction is between traditional small molecule drugs, usually derived from chemical synthesis, and biopharmaceuticals, which include recombinant proteins, vaccines, blood products used therapeutically (such as IVIG), gene therapy, and cell therapy (for instance, stem cell therapies). Other ways to classify medicines are by mode of action, route of administration, biological system affected, or therapeutic effects. An elaborate and widely used classification system is the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC system). The World Health Organization keeps a list of essential medicines.
Milton Friedman (July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006) was an American economist who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy. With George Stigler and others, Friedman was among the intellectual leaders of the second generation of Chicago price theory, a methodological movement at the University of Chicago's Department of Economics, Law School, and Graduate School of Business from the 1940s onward. Several students and young professors that were recruited or mentored by Friedman at Chicago went on to become leading economists; they include Gary Becker, Robert Fogel, and Robert Lucas, Jr..
Friedman's challenges to what he later called "naive Keynesian" theory began with his 1950s reinterpretation of the consumption function. In the 1960s, he became the main advocate opposing Keynesian government policies, and described his approach (along with mainstream economics) as using "Keynesian language and apparatus" yet rejecting its "initial" conclusions. He theorized that there existed a "natural" rate of unemployment, and argued that employment above this rate would cause inflation to accelerate. He argued that the Phillips curve was, in the long run, vertical at the "natural rate" and predicted what would come to be known as stagflation. Friedman promoted an alternative macroeconomic viewpoint known as "monetarism", and argued that a steady, small expansion of the money supply was the preferred policy. His ideas concerning monetary policy, taxation, privatization and deregulation influenced government policies, especially during the 1980s. His monetary theory influenced the Federal Reserve's response to the global financial crisis of 2007–08.

The Food and Drug Administration is investigating what it calls "one of the most elusive and mysterious outbreaks." It involves jerky treats for pets that the FDA has linked to illness in 3,600 dogs and ten cats since 2007 The federal agency is asking dog and cat owners for any information as it struggles to find an exact cause of the illness. In a notice to consumers and veterinarians published Tuesday, the Center for Veterinary Medicine has run more than 1,200 tests, visited pet treat manufacturing plants in China and worked with researchers, state labs and foreign governments. Pets can suffer from a decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting and diarrhea among other symptoms within hours of eating treats sold as jerky tenders or strips made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes or...

Stephen Ostroff, Food and Drug Administration deputy commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine, outlines finalized rules for the Food Safety Modernization Act.
A patient advocacy group is taking matters into its own hands after they say the Food and Drug Administration has failed to warn consumers about some potentially dangerous drugs. The Quinolone Vigilance Foundation (QVF) started a “Dear Doctor” letter campaign to alert doctors to new labeling changes for the antibiotics Levaquin, Cipro or Avelox. “We aim to send it to every doctor in the United States,” says Rachel Brummert who was prescribed Levaquin. The drugs are part of a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. They are strong enough to fight anthrax, but have been commonly prescribed for sinus and ear infections. However, in May the FDA ordered label changes saying the side effects generally outweigh the benefits of these antibiotics. https://youtu.be/F9xD3dKKKec “They are s...

RED ALERT!!! On Friday, August 5th, 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially approved the use of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes to be used in Florida, initially reported back in March 2016 — in order to fight off recent the “Zika virus threat” in America. While the federal agency has said these genetically engineered mosquitoes “will not have significant impacts on the environment,” or the people affected, we know better than that! In fact, this scheme will be led by British-based biotech company Oxitec, who has just released a press release on this issue. CEO of Oxitec, Hadyn Parry, has stated: “We’ve been developing this approach for many years, and from these results we are convinced that our solution is both highly effective and has sound environmental cred...
The Food and Drug Administration, the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the U.S. federal government, is charged with protecting the public health. Under this mandate, it regulates drugs and medical devices for their safety and effectiveness. But is it a failing mandate? It's long been argued that the FDA's long and costly approval processes stifle innovation and keep life-changing treatments from the market. But the question remains: when it comes to public health, is it ever okay to sacrifice safety for speed?

No longer will maximal dose natural supplements—vitamins, natural compounds, and scientifically proven medicinal herbs—be available over the counter in local health and grocery stores. Holistic practice, which relies upon non-prescription natural treatments instead of Big Pharma drugs prescribed life-long, will diminish.

FULL HALF HOUR EPISODE! Truth in Media: Big Pharma, the FDA and Medical Propaganda
The fact that more people die from FDA-approved drugs than illegal drugs should be enough of a reason to send the FDA into the dustbin of history with the Soviet Politburo. This week's EpiPen pricing scandal adds fuel to the fire as the FDA has barred and made it virtually impossible to compete with Mylan's product. It's time to abolish the crony FDA and breathe some new life into America. Ron Paul's Myth-Busters makes the case. Be sure to visit http://www.ronpaullibertyreport.com for more libertarian commentary.
