The FDA is in a constant battle with people like me... Why? If herbs were of no consequence and did not work why would they care what the "hippies" do? Because they know that knowledge of herbs sets you free from their hamster wheel! Recently the FDA decided to bad mouth natural flu remedies... forgetting that their ancestors perhaps only lived thru the flu due to these remedies. Below I have posted an article from Natural News on this issue... I only have taken a flu shot once in my life. I got dog sick that year! I use and make echinacea tinctures and not only give to myself but my kiddos! I also cook religiously with fresh or my dehydrated garlic and I will be making elderberry syrup this week! I do this because it works for me! Everyone at the kids school has had the flu and even though they have gotten a cold or two... they have not had the flu! Knock on wood! So while I can't tell you Hey! The Wicked Wishes Apothecary Immune tincture will keep you from getting the flu... I can say look up the ingredients and get the knowledge for yourself! In the Immune Support Tincture the ingredients are as follows: Echinacea, Elderberries, Garlic, Onions, and Mullein.... so you do the research!
Why is this important to the FDA? Aren't Most Flu shots free? Yeah that's my question too! If they aren't making money off of it... why would they care if you take a natural remedy versus a flu shot? Makes you wonder whats in that shot huh?!?!?

The government's "health" agencies are at it again, this time pushing
more flu vaccines on an unsuspecting population by threatening makers of
natural remedies.
Regulators at the
Food and Drug Administration
have sent letters to nine Internet distributors of dietary supplements
with a warning to cease and desist making "false" claims about their
products' ability to ward off the flu virus.
The companies say
their products can help reduce the severity and/or duration of the flu
with the use of supplements - a claim the FDA's Big Pharma backers are
obviously uncomfortable with.
In a letter to a company called
Supplementality LLC, for
instance, government health regulators said the distributor was
improperly offering products that were allegedly aimed at diagnosing,
mitigating, preventing, treating or curing flu virus, the
Chicago Tribune reported. The letter demanded the company "immediately cease marketing" in that manner.
"There
are no over-the-counter products that shorten the duration or severity
of the flu," Gary Coody, FDA's national health fraud coordinator, told
the paper.
The government warning covers products that include
resveratrol, echinacea, elderberry, garlic, astragalus immune support
system and ashwagandha.
Despite the widespread use of so-called
"flu vaccines" again this year, flu cases are unusually severe this
year, so the government's warning seems especially punitive amid a rush
for alternative remedies.
Coody said in some cases of alleged infractions cited in the
FDA warning
letters pertained to what the agency has deemed misleading claims about
the supplements. In other letters, the warnings related to the supposed
sale of phony versions of Tamiflu, which is a prescription antiviral
medication.
Other companies that received warning letters include:
Discount Online Pharmacy,
Kosher Vitamin Express, Medsnoscript,
Oasis Consumer Healthcare LLC,
Secure Medical Inc., Sun Drug Store, Vitalmax Vitamins, and the
University of Berkley, whose marketing of the "Berkley Body-Immune Flu Prevention" product is a violation of law.
Coody said six companies have responded to the FDA warnings and have made the mandated corrections.
Again, the warnings come amid a banner year for the
flu,
which makes the FDA's actions seem retaliatory to say the least, since
millions of Americans are trying to seek flu relief as best they can.
Especially hard-hit is the nation's elderly population, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's top
physician, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. This, despite the distribution and
administration of tens of millions of doses of "flu vaccines" this past
fall.
In all, according to
The New York Times,
vaccine makers have delivered 145 million doses this year - 10 million more than previously projected.
At
the flu's peak, scores of older Americans were dying from pneumonia and
other flu-related afflictions, levels that surpassed the "epidemic"
curve for the first time, the paper said. More than 30 children have
died as well.
Cure for flu deaths? A flu shot...In fact, as
Natural News has reported, the flu vaccine is thought to be responsible for the deaths of at least two Minnesota teens.

In response, state health officials are
urging more Minnesotans to get flu shots.
"Still
others have since tried to reassure the public that flu shots still
work, and that Carly's death is some kind of medical anomaly," Ethan A.
Huff wrote. "But the science speaks for itself -- in a best case
scenario, flu shots provide protection for only about 1.5 out of every
100 people. The other 98.5 people who get flu shots are needlessly
exposed to toxic adjuvants and viral materials that could cause them to
develop the flu, or worse."
And yet, despite that horrifically
poor "success" rate, the FDA wants to punish natural remedy providers
for giving Americans a choice.
