[^_^] What is the FDA's Mission Statement?

^_^ has posted a new item, 'What is the FDA's Mission Statement?'

People want to trust that their so-called elected government is doing the right
thing when it passes regulations to enhance public safety. When the Pure Food
and Drug Act was passed in 1906 a new watchdog agency, The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), was born. It would be many years before we as a nation had
such luxuries as refrigeration, sanitary food processing standards, and good
manufacturing processes (GMP), so in many respects, this law was necessary. So,
what exactly does the FDA do? According to the FDA: The FDA's mission is to
promote and protect the public health by helping safe and effective products
reach the market in a timely way, and monitoring products for continued safety
after they are in use. Our work is a blending of law and science aimed at
protecting consumers." But times change and unfortunately, sometimes so do
mission statements. The growth in knowledge of biochemistry, natural medicine,
physiology, molecular chemistry and chemical process methods have yielded
millions of new synthetic drugs and treatment options, far more than our
grandparents would have imagined at the turn of the century. To ensure growing
profits, these new synthetic drugs are aimed at symptom management rather than
cures for diseases or chronic conditions. This can be seen by the continued and
growing reliance on synthetic medicine. For example, from 1985-1999, there was a
35% increase in medicines used by Americans to treat (not cure) chronic
conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, and
arthritis. In the year 2000, about $116.9 Billion was spent on prescription
drugs. The number of prescriptions dispensed is projected to grow to 2.07
billion by the year 2005! By way of comparison, our up and coming war on Iraq is
estimated to cost about $90 Billion. But $90 Billion for a war somewhere in the
world every 12 years is chicken feed compared to the costs of drugs and
medicines that Americans shell out each and every year. This is approximately
$26.9 Billion less than what Americans spent on drugs in the year 2000. Let's
see, $90 Billion for a war once in a while and over $1Trillion (yes that's T"
for toy Trillion) for prescription drugs. That's a lot of pills. As
pharmaceutical business has grown, the FDA has changed from an institution that
was trying to protect public health from bad food to a rubber stamp government
organization that only takes public safety into account when it is forced to by
some form of gross public error. In other words, blind loyalty to doctors and
their symptom hiding pills" is not without consequence; Americans are getting
fatter and sicker. Today you can be confident that about 800 Americans will die
from obesity, which averages out to be 300,000 obese people dying every year.
Interestingly, scientists have already discovered the cure for obesity, yet the
FDA and doctors are ignoring it! Additionally, the Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA) reported that by comparing 16 "health markers"
considered indicative of good health, the U.S ranks on average 12th out of the
top 13 countries in regard to the health of it's citizens. Few people realize
the impact of these statistics. As we spend more on health care in the form of
FDA approved drugs, we becoming sicker. Wrap your brain cells around that! Still
though Americans, like cattle, are lining up at the pharmaceutical trough for
their daily dose of just what the doctor ordered". And they are bringing their
children with them.Researchers writing for Pediatrics showed that between 1997
and 2000, approximately 3,750 serious injuries, birth defects and deaths
occurred among children under 2 who were secondary recipients of prescription
drugs compliments of their mothers via pregnancy, labor, or breast feeding. The
study, conducted by researchers at George Washington University and the
University of Maryland, found 769 childhood deaths and 664 cases of birth
defects or disabilities that could be directly linked to prescription drug use.
The FDA has stated that these numbers really only account for about 2% of the
actual number of deaths and negative side effects reported! In spite of the
carnage committed against the young and innocent, the FDA does not require
pharmaceutical companies to test newly released drugs for potentially hazardous
effects on children. Yet, according to the New York Times and JAMA, spending on
central nervous system (CNS) drugs for pediatric patients increased by 85% from
1985-1999! Call it lack of sufficient funding, integrity, human nature, greed or
plain old corruption, the protective motivation that was once the driving force
of the FDA is gone! A new kind of bureaucracy has risen up in its place and very
few professionals are aware of the change, especially among media channels.
Undoubtedly, the general population is grossly ignorant of the FDA's new
mission, to approve life-threatening drugs that will profit the pharmaceutical
companies and to suppress non-toxic, inexpensive and effective natural
therapies. Jay R. Cavanaugh, PhD, Member, California State Board of Pharmacy
1980-90, said it best when referring to the FDA and international pharmaceutical
companies:This collection of serial killers with reckless disregard of human
life, extinguishes the hopes and lives of over 100,000 Americans every year. In
the past decade they have been responsible for over one million innocent deaths,
yet not only have they not faced justice, they have enriched themselves with
profits that would make Bill Gates envious. These parasitic killers come not
from some cave in Afghanistan, but from plush office suites..." That the FDA is
a watchdog agency for public health interests is a fallacy. The FDA is a lapdog
for international, multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies and is
responsible for millions of preventable deaths.Shane holds a Master's degree in

device you have with flash-based memory. Any USB cards or sticks, any digital
camera cards like Secure Digital (SD), SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MiniSD,
MicroSD, MMC, and Multimedia Cards. In general, any storage device that still
works or may even be broken.Today modern computers both laptops and desktops
come with SmartMedia slots built-in and not only at the corner of the desktop
and laptop computer world but in the digital camera sphere as well, the flash
based storage devices today grip its monopoly as it is the latest "electronic
film" with several advantages, noiseless, faster, lighter, bigger and with no
moving parts; furthermore, it is rewriteable.Components: A SmartMedia card or
any flash based storage card or USB device consists of 1-4 NAND flash EEPROM
microchips. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is a
non-volatile storage semiconductor chip that can retain the stored information
even when not powered. These semiconductors are solid and its electrical
conductivity can be controlled either statically or dynamically. Semiconductors
are identical to insulators but are Silicone, and is the prime raw material for
all these microchips.Semiconductors Production and use of Hazardous Substances:
Preparation for semiconductor materials requires high levels of chemical purity
as even a small existence of impurities can have large effects on the properties
of the chips. Furthermore, these materials have to be doped with other elements
to adjust its electrical response as a current carrier by controlling the number
and charges being either positive or negative.Due to this requirement of high
chemical purity, semiconductor devices require raw materials have to go through
series of purification processes from melting to re-solidification through
several chemical reactions to produce these modern marvels.More then eight week
of manufacturing is required to process these products through multiple chemical
processes and disposition process like Chemical vapor deposition,
Chemical-mechanical planarization, and Ion implantation etc. Altogether these
USB devices and digital camera storage cards (flash memory chips) have to go
though over 300 sequenced processing steps and eight or more levels of major
compound procedures.In this processes many toxic materials and harmful chemicals
are used as catalyses to purify them. These substances primarily as listed below
are the prime pollutants, and are one of the main causes of miscellaneous cancer
and genetic diseases we are facing today and our children will face tomorrow.
Poisonous elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and phosphorus; poisonous
compounds like arsine, phosphine and silane. Highly reactive liquids, such as
hydrogen peroxide, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric
acid.Computer Recycle & The EnvironmentToday we at eProvided.com are
apprehensive about the wastes that are being generated from electronic products.
Those small silicon wafers that allow computers, digital cameras, gadgets, etc.
to function, are insatiable abuser of chemicals, water, fossil fuels, and gasses
like nitrogen. Just to produce a single semiconductor microchip, it requires
over three pounds of fossil fuels, almost a quarter pound of toxic chemicals,
seventy pounds of water, and over a pound of nitrogen and all have direct &
adverse effect to our health; furthermore, are the prime components for cancer,
nervous system disorder, reproduction health and genetic malfunctions.Now
Imagine, the total number of these cards produced this year, 115.7 million in
2006, and 88.2 million in 2005. Linear to this figure are the aggregate effects
on the environment.Hence, if you are the user of SmartMedia cards, SD cards,
CompactFlash cards, USB Sticks, USB Thumb Drives, digital cameras, and any other
devices including the latest gadget and gizmos like MP3 players and Digital
Voice Recorders, remember your responsibility for today's environmental hazards.
These products all use flash memory silicone chips.Instead of throwing these
materials away anticipating it will organically decompose, do remember to either
recycle or sell them for reuse.eProvided.com is the Digital Image Recovery
