outlawed CBDs and hemp oil extracts by
claiming all plant molecules now belong
exclusively to Big Pharma

pharmaceutical industry that the FDA is now invoking totally insane justifications for outlawing
them.
CBDs are non-psychoactive compounds found naturally in hemp plants. They work so well as
powerful natural medicine that people everywhere are realizing CBDs work better than
pharmaceuticals for treating epilepsy, seizures, neurological disorders and other serious
health conditions (including HIV infections).
So the FDA has just launched a massive regulatory assault against CBDs by invoking the most
insane logic you've ever heard. Here's how it goes:
1) CBDs work so well that drug companies are now investigating them to be approved by the
FDA as medicines.
2) Because CBDs are being investigated by drug companies, the FDA has granted CBDs
status as being "investigated as a new drug." In the FDA's own language from their website,
"FDA considers a substance to be 'authorized for investigation as a new drug' if it is the subject
of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) that has gone into effect."
3) Because CBDs work so well and have been authorized for drug investigations, the FDA
now OUTLAWS them being sold as dietary supplements. Per the FDA's own website:
"FDA has concluded that cannabidiol products are excluded from the dietary supplement
definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&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."
4) Now the FDA has begun sending warning letters to CBD makers, claiming they are in
violation of FDA regulations because they are selling "adulterated products." Adulterated with
what, exactly? CBDs, of course! "The debate over hemp CBD’s legal status continues after
FDA sent eight warning letters to manufacturers of CBD dietary supplement and food products
earlier this month," reports Nutritional Outlook. "The warning letters cite impermissible health
claims used to market the products, as well as CBD’s invalid status as a dietary ingredient
due to its presence in two drug applications currently under consideration."
The FDA just criminalized one of the most
miraculous healing medicines in the world by
handing it over to Big Pharma
In other words, the FDA just handed Big Pharma an absolute monopoly over CBDs(hemp oil extract) by ridiculously claiming such natural products are "adulterated" with
molecules (CBDs) that the FDA says might one day become a drug.
"Drugs," according to the FDA, are substances that are proven to treat, prevent or cure a
disease, and thus the FDA's own logic admits that CBDs must be able to treat, prevent or cure
diseases, otherwise they would be useless as "drugs".
But when a dietary supplement company makes the same claim, they are hit with aggressive
warning letters from the FDA, threatening to shut them down, confiscate their products and
seek criminal prosecution of the company executives.
This is how the FDA can instantly criminalize any
vitamin or plant extract
Do you see how this twisted, corrupt regulatory tactic can allow the FDA to instantly criminalizeany dietary supplement, vitamin, herb or plant extract?
Vitamin D, for example, could be outlawed by the FDA announcing that it has granted
"Investigational New Drug application (IND)" status to any drug company studying vitamin D.
Using this same corrupt, mafia-style tactic, the FDA could outlaw resveratrol or even vitamin
C, denying Americans the right to access safe, affordable, natural substances that are routinely
found in nature.
It's time to end the FDA's monopolization over
natural plant molecules
If humanity is ever to achieve medical freedom, we must end the FDA's outrageousmedical monopolization of plant molecules such as CBDs. By allowing this corrupt,
criminally-run regulatory agency to criminalize every molecule found in nature, our nation's
lawmakers condemn us all to life in what can only be called medical totalitarianism under
FDA tyranny.
Any time a healing substances is found in nature, the FDA can simply assert that such
molecules are now in the process of being studied as drugs and are therefore illegal to sell
as dietary supplements even though they were developed by Mother Nature, not drug
companies.
This FDA tactic is nothing more than the FDA proclaiming intellectual monopolies over all
molecules of interest found in nature. It is Monsanto-like in its arrogance and wickedness, and
it deprives the People of their right to access medicinal plants and healing substances that
have existed in nature for countless thousands of years long before the FDA ever came into
existence (1906).
If we do not stop this FDA, we are all doomed to living under a totalitarian regulatory regime
that will systematically criminalize every healing molecule found in nature, from the
curcuminoids in turmeric root to green tea catechins and even phycocyanins found in spirulina.
That this federal agency has now resorted to such tactics of medical totalitarianism and outright
tyranny is proof that we need to strip the FDA of regulatory powers over natural dietary
supplements and limit its domain to pharmaceutical drugs only.
Coincidentally, a Presidential election is upon us that threatens to shake up the entire
establishment if the right person wins. "Establishment" candidates on both sides of the aisle
would simply continue the FDA war on natural molecules that's now under way, but there is one
candidate who has openly threatened to challenge the authority of federal regulators like the
EPA and FDA.
FDA begins crackdown by targeting inaccurate label
claims... but it won't end there
The FDA has now declared war on CBDs and hemp oil extracts. Its first targets are thosecompanies who have inaccurate label claims or are committing outright fraud in claiming
CBD concentrations that don't even exist in their products.
On this point, I must agree that inaccurate label claims deserve regulatory enforcement.
The CBD industry is heavily populated with fraudulent sellers whose products often
contain no CBDs at all.
"The FDA has turned its back on the cannabis industry, claiming that CBD products cannot be
sold as dietary supplements," reports Canna Business. "Companies affected by the latest
crackdown include Cali Stores, Dose of Nature, Green Garden Gold, Healthy Hemp Oil,
Michigan Herbal Remedies, Morgue Juice, Pain Bomb and Sana Te Premium Oils.
According to the FDA’s analysis, all products contained different amounts of 9-THC, THCa,
CBDa, CBN and CBD than they had claimed."
The second target of the FDA is companies that made disease treatment claims that their
CBD products might treat epilepsy, cancer or other conditions. The FDA, of course, routinely
attacks any dietary supplement maker that tells the truth about the medicinal benefits of their
products. According to the FDA, there is no such thing as any food, nutrient, herb or natural
molecule that has any ability whatsoever to treat, prevent or cure any disease. This position is,
of course, patently absurd and stands in total violation of nutritional science, but it is the "big lie"
the FDA must maintain in order to keep putting dietary supplement companies out of business.
Once the FDA finishes destroying all the companies with inaccurate labels and disease
marketing claims, it will target all the honest suppliers of CBDs who are selling genuine,
honest products that contain accurate CBD labels. This is the real goal of the FDA: to
threaten, intimidate and destroy the entire CBD industry and thereby protect the
medical monopolies of drug companies that can't wait to cash in on these amazing molecules
that really do treat disease (otherwise, Big Pharma would have no interest in them).
This is how the FDA keeps the medical racket
marching along
And so the great medical monopoly racket marches on, with the FDA giving a big "F-YOU"to the American people while handing lucrative medical monopolies to its greed-driven friends
in the pharmaceutical industry. Meanwhile, the American people are denied healing medicine
that works at a fraction of the cost of overpriced pharmaceuticals.
Entrepreneurial companies that offer such hemp oil extracts containing CBDs -- natural
medicines that could help reduce human suffering while lowering health care costs nationwide --
are threatened by the FDA with devastating enforcement actions that could land their executives
in prison.
This is all part of the FDA's war on natural medicine that systematically criminalizes
molecules found in nature and the people who seek to make those molecules available to
patients in need. While disease suffering skyrockets across America and medical expenses
push more and more families over the threshold of bankruptcy and destitution, isn't it comforting
to know that your federal government is doing everything in its power to deny you access to
safe, affordable natural medicine while protecting the profits of the drug giants?
What can you do to oppose this medical tyranny by
the FDA?
None of this is ever going to change, by the way, if we keep electing establishment politiciansto the White House. If you want to see real change in the legalization of hemp extract
components such as CBDs, you'd better vote for someone who terrifies the establishment and
threatens to tear it down.
At the same time, you need to support health freedom organizations like the Alliance for
Natural Health, which is fighting to keep dietary supplements legal in America.
You should also watch this video animation that exposes the anti-dietary supplement bias of
PBS Frontline, which recently ran a totally dishonest hit piece documentary attacking
supplements.
There is a nationwide effort under way right now to criminalize ALL dietary supplements
and force every plant extract, vitamin or food concentrate to be regulated by the FDA as if they
were prescription drugs. This would utterly wipe out the entire dietary supplements industry and
plunge America into an era of runaway disease, suffering and death as people are denying
access to the healing nutrients that are presently preventing disease (and even reversing
serious disease in some cases).
Finally, share this story and join the Natural News email list (below) to stay informed on all
this. As the editor of Natural News, I am fighting for your right to access CBDs and hemp
oil extracts, as they are amazing natural medicines that can treat, prevent and in some cases
even help cure serious health conditions.
The FDA is anti science and anti human rights
We have a fundamental human right to access healing plants found in nature, and theFDA has systematically sought to destroy that right and criminalize those who seek to express
it. Access to Mother Nature's healing molecules is a fundamental human right that exists above
and beyond the Bill of Rights. It is a DIVINE right.
To reestablish our access to these rights, we need a political revolution in Washington
that puts people in power who are ready and willing to dismantle the FDA and end its
devastating monopolies over dietary supplements, medicinal herbs and natural molecules
found in nature.
We need to legalize health freedom in America and set this nation on a new path of disease
prevention and drastically reduced health care costs through access to affordable, natural
medicines. The only way to accomplish this is to end the FDA's reign of tyranny over the
dietary supplements industry.
We need a new health freedom revolution in America, and it starts at the ballot box. It's time
to start electing outsiders, not insiders... people who the terrify the Washington establishment
because they know their insidious grip on regulatory power will be challenged. If you want
medical marijuana legalized, or if you want access to CBD oil as an affordable dietary
supplement, it's time to start voting for people the establishment is desperately trying
to destroy. Because it is only those people who have any real hope of achieving the kind of
political and legislative goals that will end the FDA's stranglehold on natural medicine in America.
