FDA shuts down production of non-drug cancer therapy
For several years now I've been telling you about the slow-but-sure advances in research of intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA) to treat cancer. And during those years we've seen a growing acceptance of the KNOWN FACT that mega-doses of vitamin C effectively kill some types of cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
Imagine what that means! This is potentially a natural, affordable "chemotherapy" that makes patients feel better, rather than reducing their poor bodies to shrunken shells.
Now imagine what that means to Big Pharma and their BFFs at the FDA.
So it shouldn't surprise you that FDA hacks--I'm sorry--"officials"-- took the first step toward completely banishing one of the most promising (I would say THE most promising) non-drug cancer treatments.
Pure evil or simple, pin-headed bureaucrats? Wait! Don't decide yet.
By the beautiful C
Of course, we've speculated all along that drug companies must despise IAA. The math is pretty simple: Widespread use of IAA would make many outrageously expensive cancer drugs obsolete.
But in the Big Pharma marketplace, cash flow always wins out over the needs of patients. And as we've seen time and again, FDA lackeys always seem to be happy to play ball with drug industry Big Kahunas, while stepping over the little guys.
Earlier this month, the FDA ordered family-owned-and-operated McGuff Pharmaceuticals to stop making and distributing IAA. According to a warning letter sent to McGuff by the agency, "You manufacture and market unapproved new drugs in violation of sections 505(a) and 502(f)(1) [21 U.S.C. §§ 355(a) and 352(f)(1)] of the Act."
While the moron that sent it is just doing his job, printing out and mailing this particular form letter denies dying patients the treatment that might save their lives -- or at least help ease their suffering.
Representatives for the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) spoke with FDA officials and reported that "the FDA has gone through an internal process whereby they determined injectable vitamin C to be an unapproved drug."
Oddly, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for the FDA to be taking this action right now. IAA has been used by alternative health care doctors for years. Nevertheless, ANH reports that the Acting Director of the FDA has said that other companies that produce IAA would be subject to similar orders to shut down production. (So far only McGuff has been targeted.)
The ANH speculates that the FDA might be testing the waters with McGuff, and that we have a chance to get them to "rethink" their strategy with a loud public outcry.
No matter what their mission statement says, the FDA works for Big Pharma, not for you and me. So that sounds like long shot optimism to me. But right now it seems to be the only shot we have to help keep IAA available for the suffering patients that need it most.
So while you're online, send an e-mail to the FDA demanding they rethink their assault on this very promising therapy.
Address your e-mail to consumer@fda.gov. You can use a subject line such as "Allow intravenous vitamin C." And in the body of the e-mail, state that the FDA should continue to allow the manufacture of intravenous ascorbic acid--a therapy that's shown remarkable cancer-fighting potential in many case studies--so that it will be available when they or their loved ones need it.
And if you have friends and family who also don't want their access to promising natural therapies ripped away by a bunch of bureaucrats doing Big Pharma's dirty work, please ask for their help too -- or send them this e-mail.
We need to make everyone we know aware of the promise of IAA and how close it is to being taken away from the people who need it most.

Here is what I have sent to the FDA on this issue:
The FDA's action to prevent or stop compounding pharmacies from formulating solutions contains ascorbic acid ( Intravenous Ascorbic Acid or IAA ) IAA on the grounds that such uses constitutes using IAA as a drug is misguided at best, and a disservice to the portion of the public that seeks alternatives in medicine, the public the FDA is mandated to serve.
Ascorbic Acid is not a drug, but rather a metabolite that a few species of mammals ( primates, , and Guinea pigs ) have lost the ability to produce, and as such is essential. If I were a rat instead of a human, I would naturally produce about 10 grams of ascorbic acid a day when well, and 100 grams a day when I was sick. The ascorbic acid functions to aid the immune system, in a necessary and supportive function. A metabolite found in almost all mammals is not a drug. Drugs are artificial compounds concocted by corporations for the purposes of generating enormous profits by their sales. They are bastardized compounds that corporations can claim to be unique and therefore patentable. As such, drugs are selective toxins, blocking one biochemical pathway for some immediate symptomatic relief, while other pathways are chronically poisoned. This chronic poisoning is blithely referred to as " side effects ".
The use of IAA is no different than the intravenous use of glucose. If fact, glucose and ascorbic acid are closely related compounds. By the same logic, the FDA should then ban the use of intravenous glucose, if it is going to ban IAA.
If the FDA proceeds with banning IAA, then I hope the pharmacies continue producing it. Then when the FDA takes action, the matter an be solved in the judicial system. The problem with this approach, is that the trials and clinical use will be halted, peoples freedom to choose alternative therapies will be temporarily trampled upon, but the good news is the lawyers will be fully employed.

Since IAA may have been utilised prior to 1938, it would be grandfathered and immune to FDA sanctions. Does anyone know of an instance of any such use?

I had stage 4 breast cancer 3 years ago. I refused chemo and
radiation when I was told of the long term side effects I
would have to take meds for the rest of my life. I had 3IAA
bags a week for the year following my mastectomy. I just had to recover from the surgry not one sick day. I continue to
have a bag a week. Not one cent was covered by insurance
and we all know I saved my insurance co. at least $250 K .
We must stand together for our rights. Unfortunately most
Americans are sheeple and won't make a stand for thier rights.
The FDA is corrupt and totally controlled p78hby the big pharma
greed machine.

The FDA sucks. The more the government takes from us in taxes the more they create agencies and rules to control us, all for the benefit of the the corporations.

Here is what I wrote to FDA::
-----------------------------------
One of the best cures for cancer - intravenous VITAMIN C.
People are learning about it, thanks to the wonderful power of the knowledge of the millions and millions of people over the INTERNET.
FDA and BigPharma have hidden these type of cures from millions and millions of sick and dying people.
But NOW the world knows.
You won't be able to hide the TRUTH by threatening doctors and nutritional practitioners not to use these natural treatment.
The TRUTH is out and is nothing and nobody can stop it.
At least 50% of the world knows about the crimes of BigPharma, how pharmaceutical cartels have caused and keep causing millions of unnecessary death with their deadly "medications", vaccinations, scare tactics...etc.
By shutting down intravenous C procedure by McGuff Pharmaceuticals, the natural and most effective cancer treatments will not stop.
Exact opposite - they will spread around faster and I hope that pharmaceutical mafias like Pfizer, Merck...will disappear from the face of the earth.
Thousands of doctors every day discover the power of nature and naturopathy. It changes their lives and the lives of their patients.
Natural remedies, vitamins, supplements is a Bright Future for the mankind, Pharmaceuticals will die slow death.
