Thread- my other was hacked away and reported. It seems som…

In 1992, Congress established the Office of Unconventional Therapies, which later became the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), to explore “unconventional medical practices.”

In 1998, OAM became the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). NCCAM is a center within the National Institutes of Health.

In the Federal Register of February 27, 2007, (72 FR 8756), FDA announced the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled “Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.”

Alarming draconian legislation drafted regarding the FDA's ability to regulate basic vitamins, nutritional supplements and even juices as a "drug" is was snuck in as a an unrelated bill in the Congress [under Docket Number 2006D-0480 ].

As the practice of CAM has increased in the United States, we have seen increased confusion as to whether certain products used in CAM (which, for convenience, we will refer to as “CAM products”) are subject to regulation under the act or the (Public Health Service Act)PHS Act.

This guidance makes two fundamental points:

First, depending on the CAM therapy or practice, a product used in a CAM therapy or practice may be subject to REGULATION as a biological product, cosmetic, drug, device, or food (including food additives and dietary supplements)

under the Act or the PHS Act. For example, the PHS Act defines "biological product," and the Act defines (among other things):

• Cosmetic;
• Device;
• Dietary supplement;
• Drug, as well as
-"new drug" & "new animal drug;"
• Food; and
• Food additive

These statutory definitions cover some CAM products.

Second, neither the Act nor the PHS Act exempts CAM products from REGULATION.

• This means, for example, if a person decides to produce and sell raw vegetable juice for use in juice therapy to promote optimal health,

that product is a food subject to the requirements for foods in the Act and FDA regulations, including the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system requirements for juices in Title 21 Volume 2 CFR part 120.

If the juice therapy is intended for use as part of a disease treatment regimen instead of for the general wellness, the vegetable juice would also be subject to regulation as a drug under the Act.

Think I'm full of shit?

Look at the screenshots I'll be giving you the link later on in thread.

NCCAM classifies CAM therapies into four categories or "domains." These are:

• Biologically-based practices;
• Energy therapies;
• Manipulative and body-based methods; and
• Mind-body medicine.

What Are "Biologically Based Practices?"

NCCAM, the domain called "biologically based practices" incl, but is not limited to, botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, prebiotics & probiotics, whole diets, & "functional foods".

What Are "Whole Medical Systems?"

NCCAM describes whole medical systems as involving "complete systems of theory and practice that have evolved independently from or parallel to allopathic (conventional) medicine."

Example: traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine.

To understand how the Act or the PHS Act might apply to CAM products, we begin by understanding the Act's statutory definitions or, in the case of the PHS Act, our authority regarding biological products.

Drug" & "New Drug"

Section 201(g)(1) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)) defines the term "drug," in relevant part, to mean:

(A) articles recognized in the official United States Pharmacopeia, official Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States, or official National Formulary, or any supplement to any of them; and

(B) articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals;

(C) articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals; and

(D) articles intended for use as a component of any articles specified in clause (A), (B), or (C).

Section 201(p) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 321(p) defines the term "NEW DRUG" to mean:

(1) Any drug (except a new animal drug or an animal feed bearing or containing a new animal drug) the composition of which is such that the drug is not generally recognized, among experts

qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs, as safe and effective or use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling thereof...

Ex: a herbal product, which would be a "biologically based practice" insofar as CAM domains are concerned, would be a "drug" under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Act because it is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease.

The same herbal product would also be a "new drug" under section 201(p)(1) of the Act unless it is generally recognized, among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs.

Now that you read all of that do you understand the problem when it comes to list bulk ingredients for evaluation for componding?

Once they deem a natural substance a drug, and recognize, as medicine, or a form of treatment. It can be regulated, pulled for over the counter sales.

Incase you have no clue what I'm talking about. The last thread that was reported and hacked to shreds.

Don't fall into the FDA's trap by referring to natural substances, as "drugs." It's a trick to invoke a reason or cause to regulate these natural vitamins and supplements. To put it simply it is a power grab.

There are several things listed for compounding, and evaluation. The prob is once they start calling a natural substances drugs or medicine they now have a reason to invoke strict regulations & restrictions. It prob wouldnt happen to a majority of items on list. But some might.

Like what we are seeing now w/ Amazon pulling NAC. The fact that several of the items listed have been said to be preventatives & treatments for respiratory illnesses, while pharma is doing everything to push an experimental 💉. Should be enough of a reason raise an 🚨.

More double speak bullshit probably pushed and funded by big pharma. Regulated for our safety. The fda recently issued a warning letter to plum dragon herbs for labeling some natural remedies as immune booster that can aid with illness like cv19.

I buy several herbs from plum dragon regularly for culinary uses, teas, and traditional chinese medicine.

NAC Banned From Amazon, FDA Says It’s Medication

FDA Threatens to Ban Critical Toxin Protection Supplement

Amazon confirms plans of removing NAC supplements https://t.co/XcLWZvPU3c

New petition asking that the FDA refrain from banning NAC as a supplement. Sign here: https://t.co/KjF9s3Krm6

The legislation is largely a "harmonization" with the World Health Organization's CODEX Alimentarius, which on the surface establishes standardized food guidelines to ensure.

I can post a bunch of codex docs but you prob wont read them so here.

CODEX

Title 21 has 9 Volumes. Each hundreds of pages long. The example used earlier in thread is Volume 2 part 120.

Volume 2 (Parts 100 - 169)

Everything is compartmentalized. They want us Divided, arguing with one another. All they do is sell you on fear and lies to for money and power. Unpopular legislation gets stuffed in massive bills with no time for it to be read discussed. Look at Covid Relief Foreign Slush Fund.

Nothing in life is free. You pay for every hand out where it's a tax increase or inflation. Never let anyone bribe, persuade you, trick you into giving up your rights your freedoms for a false sense of security. Ask questions and search for answers yourself. Gn😘
