They work so well as powerful natural medicine that people everywhere are realizing\u00a0<b>CBDs work better than pharmaceuticals<\/b>\u00a0for treating epilepsy, seizures, neurological disorders and other serious health conditions (including HIV infections).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So the FDA has just launched a massive regulatory assault against CBDs by invoking the most insane logic you\u2019ve ever heard. Here\u2019s how it goes:<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>1) CBDs work so well that drug companies are now investigating them to be approved by the FDA as medicines.<\/p>\n<p>2) Because CBDs are being investigated by drug companies, the FDA has granted CBDs status as being \u201cinvestigated as a new drug.\u201d In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/NewsEvents\/PublicHealthFocus\/ucm421168.htm#dietarysuppl\">the FDA\u2019s own language from their website<\/a>, \u201cFDA considers a substance to be \u2018authorized for investigation as a new drug\u2019 if it is the subject of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) that has gone into effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3) Because CBDs work so well and have been authorized for drug investigations,\u00a0<b>the FDA is now attempting to regulate them out of existence as dietary supplements<\/b>. Per the FDA\u2019s own website: \u201cFDA has concluded that cannabidiol products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&amp;C Act. Under that provision, if a substance (such as cannabidiol) has been authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and for which the existence of such investigations has been made public, then products containing that substance are outside the definition of a dietary supplement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4) Now the FDA has begun sending warning letters to CBD makers, claiming they are in violation of FDA regulations because they are selling \u201cadulterated products.\u201d Adulterated with what, exactly? CBDs, of course! \u201cThe debate over hemp CBD\u2019s legal status continues after FDA sent eight warning letters to manufacturers of CBD dietary supplement and food products earlier this month,\u201d reports\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutritionaloutlook.com\/herbs-botanicals\/fda%E2%80%99s-latest-cbd-warning-letters-cite-health-claims-drug-applications\">Nutritional Outlook<\/a>. \u201cThe warning letters cite impermissible health claims used to market the products, as well as CBD\u2019s invalid status as a dietary ingredient due to its presence in two drug applications currently under consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6>The FDA just criminalized one of the most miraculous healing medicines in the world by handing it over to Big Pharma<\/h6>\n<h6>In other words, the FDA just handed Big Pharma an absolute monopoly over CBDs (hemp oil extract) by ridiculously claiming such natural products are \u201cadulterated\u201d with molecules (CBDs) that the FDA says might one day become a drug.<\/h6>\n<p>\u201cDrugs,\u201d according to the FDA, are substances that are\u00a0<b>proven to treat, prevent or cure a disease<\/b>, and thus the FDA\u2019s own logic admits that CBDs must be able to treat, prevent or cure diseases,\u00a0<i>otherwise they would be useless as \u201cdrugs\u201d<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>But when a dietary supplement company makes the same claim, they are hit with\u00a0<b>aggressive warning letters from the FDA<\/b>, threatening to shut them down, confiscate their products and seek criminal prosecution of the company executives.<\/p>\n<h6>This is how the FDA can instantly criminalize any vitamin or plant extract<\/h6>\n<p>Do you see how this twisted, corrupt regulatory tactic can allow the FDA to instantly criminalize any dietary supplement, vitamin, herb or plant extract?<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D, for example, could be outlawed by the FDA announcing that it has granted \u201cInvestigational New Drug application (IND)\u201d status to any drug company studying vitamin D.<\/p>\n<p>Using this same corrupt, mafia-style tactic, the FDA could\u00a0<b>essentially \u201coutlaw\u201d resveratrol or even vitamin C<\/b>, denying Americans the right to access safe, affordable, natural substances that are routinely found in nature.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theeventchronicle.com\/news\/north-america\/fda-just-outlawed-cbds-hemp-oil\/\">www.theeventchronicle.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Retrieved from: http:\/\/ushealthtimes.com\/the-fda-just-outlawed-cbds-and-hemp-oil-extracts-by-claiming-all-plant-molecules-now-belong-exclusively-to-big-pharma\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FDA Just Outlawed CBDs and Hemp Oil Extracts by Claiming all Plant Molecules Now Belong Exclusively to Big Pharma By Dr. Fateh Malik\u00a0January 29, 2018 Hemp oil extracts containing CBDs (cannibidiols) are such a threat to the pharmaceutical industry that the FDA is now invoking totally insane justifications for &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[617],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cannabis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lutzlivetotell.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
