Here is a story of Sam
Girod, a Kentucky farmer. He runs a
small business which sells natural skin salves made from herbs such as
chickweed, which help to relieve a host of skin conditions including psoriasis,
allergic rashes and even skin cancers. This
is a story of how FDA using the so called rules framed would go to any length
to get hold of a person and ensure that he spends his rest of his days in jail
even though there is no proof of him having harmed anyone due to his sale of
natural skin salves. It shows how they
are out to get him and make an example of him, it boils down to two agent who
were not allowed to take photos of his farm and in turn the sequence of events
leading to his case, this episode upset the agents and convinced the FDA to
throw the books at Sam, Girod and thus this case against Sam Girod. This is also how the Government of any
country tries to ensure that nobody stands up against their interest after
coming to power.
Sam Girod’s problem
started years ago. The FDA went after him because he mentioned that one of the
condition that salve was effective for was skin cancer and he was asked to
remove the label that it was effective for skin cancer. He called it “Chickweed Healing Salve.” The FDA did not stop with that. The problem started again when a local health
department official saw Girod’s products on display in a small Missouri town’s
convenience store, and reported them to the state health department official,
who apparently referred the matter to the FDA who struck again seizing products
from the store, contending that Girod included user testimonials, at the same
store where he was selling the salve, he had to register it as a drug. As per FDA, because the products claim to
treat or cure disease but have not received FDA approval, and are not exempt
from such approval requirements and moreover the seized products contain
ingredients that could cause toxic or allergic reactions in consumers sensitive
to these ingredients. According to FDA, Chickweed
healing salve contains comfrey, which may increase the risk of systemetic
toxicity. The US FDA had him indicted by
a federal grand jury on a dozen criminal charges. What you have to note here is that there is
no death associated to use of Sam Girod’s Chickweed Healing Salve nor any one
hospitalized due to using Sam Girod’s Chickweed, nor anyone complained against
the product of Sam Girod, even if complainant is there, they were never called
to the jury witness box. Overlooking all
these facts, US FDA went after him.
Unless the people come
together and do something, the FDA will have total and complete control over
every aspect of your lives and you will find that first you are feed with food
which contains substance that cause ill health over the years, then FDA
approved big pharmaceuticals bring out medicines that alleviate your sufferings
but in the long run create more disease and in many unfortunate cases deaths
and the cycle goes on repeating, there will be a day when every human being
will be having one disease or the other since birth due to continuing of this
system.
So you can see there is
a cure of everything but you need to have the will and determination.
