The natural, organic, whole foods communal has some lessons to learn very soon or it will be destroyed by itself, the Fda and the drug manufacturing industry. I see the enemy (natural, organic, whole foods industry) and it is we ourselves.
To expound this point let me draw your attentiveness to the building commerce where after 40+ years in the building business, I have had lots of opening to scrutinize that the beginning of a building is more important than the paint and carpet. Yet the "paint job" is all that most people indeed focus on. (I am saying that we of the natural, organic and whole foods communal must originate and build our own building and not ask government to do it for us or we will have nothing but misery and disappointment). Back to the building business, I have observed that the major intuit for this is the government imposed building codes excused a considerable means to "protect the public" are the cause of the problem. How did we ever survive before the Ubc (uniform building code) was imposed upon us? How is it that buildings of excellent quality, that were build a 100 years before the Ubc ever existed, still stand and are in use today? What can the natural, organic, whole foods commerce which is still in its early stages of improvement learn from this example?
The current the socialists solution for a poorly built building is a very costly operate agenda (something that is not government firm at all and historically was not government firm until recently and which we of the natural, organic, whole foods community must learn from). This "consumer protection" agenda has expanded and now bureaucracy is added to bureaucracy and starts with community approval of "land use". The people living in the Land of the "Free" now have no freedom. Hidden property that does not belong to the community is now subject to a "community decision" as to weather it may be used for a inescapable use or not. Back in the 50's and 60's we called "community ism" where the community decided for someone else, concerning what they could or could not do, "Communism" and our enemy the Ussr did this all the time and we abhorred them for it. Today in America we do the same and call it "Freedom". Boy, are we blind and in a bind. We are now "Free" straight through communist style coercion, to stand in line waiting for permission to use our own property, buy numerous permits, added fees for one thing and another, inspections on top of inspections and various "quality" tests, all of which only serve to operate the people while driving the price up and the quality down. Now, with all of these "safeguards of government" we still feel very costly and badly built building being closed and sold everyday. Is this a model we need to repeat in the nature, organic whole foods world? We do not need to look up one day and find that we are standing in the communist style natural, organic, whole foods line of failure. I submit that we must scrutinize and avoid the mistake of Government intrusion into the natural, organic, whole foods industry.
Let us consider the Fda and how it helps us. We are told that the Fda is to assure quality in the prescription drug firm in the Usa. Yet Dr. Julian Whitaker reports that "Experts evaluation that adverse drug events indeed whole in the millions and prescription drugs are responsible for more than 100,000 deaths per year." Nutrients on the other hand have no reports of fatalities. We must close that we don't need to fix the natural, organic, whole foods firm with more government regulation because it is not broken!
Furthermore it is coarse knowledge in natural, organic, whole foods circles that in many cases pharmaceuticals indeed cause depletion of a persons vitamins, minerals and enzymes. For example Diabetic drugs are known to deplete three vitamins (B6,B12, folic acid) and four minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc). Again, Statins, substance used to lower blood cholesterol, are known to deplete Coenzyme Q10, which lessens your vigor supply. The absence of Coenzyme Q10 is like removing the spark plug from an internal combustion machine and expecting it to fire. Of procedure using these drugs is fine as far as the Fda is involved because they are government approved. This is just other intuit why we ought to consider the helpful protectiveness of government before we add any new regulations to the natural, organic, whole foods industry.
Let us scrutinize yet other Fda story. A few months ago I was at a argument where a man was explaining that he was being shut down by the Fda after having marketed a goods for whole of years that was a natural herb goods that had done a masterful job of eliminating cancer in a considerable whole of people who used it. It was additional reported that it had no side supervene and was perfectly safe. This was substantiated by the fact that he had been in firm for years and had no claims against him by buyers of his product. (considering how sue happy every person is today I carefully his claims to be valid because if the contrary been true he would have been sued and out of firm before the Fda ever would have found him) Now however, he was being shut down by the Fda and could not continue to shop his products unless he was "approved".
Now days the only way to get or use natural, organic, whole foods for a health solution is by exiting the Land of the "Free". Why? Because the Fda has made a very correct regulation that there shall be no competition in this country in this commerce of health (which includes any claims in the natural, organic, whole foods arena) without their express permission. If there is any unauthorized competition in the way of claims, contribution or sales of unapproved "drugs" the offender will be shutdown and thrown into jail, thus eliminating the competition for those who have not gained "approval".
This is not a particular story. I have visited with dozens of people over the past 30 years who have been required to exit the country to have non Fda approved natural, organic, whole foods procedures applied to their bodies as a health remedy because those procedures were outlawed here in the "Land Of The Free". In some of these cases it was life salvage because the curative community had written them off as terminal.
I am involved that this same hopelessly close minded, incompetent, socialists, bureaucratic Fda/Ama forcefulness will soon be imposed upon the natural, organic, whole foods commerce which will regulate it to the point of uselessness. Historically Hidden firm and free firm have been more than capable of regulating themselves and this is indeed what the natural, organic, whole foods commerce must do today.
If you find this to be a strange though then consider the following. Ul (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) is a Hidden firm that specializes in testing and qualifying products and equipment in the Hidden sector. The buying communal has grown to rely on this service. If you furnish a goods and wish for your goods to be approved by Ul you must submit and pass the Ul standard. (the natural, organic, whole foods commerce needs a Hidden (Nowfu) standard.) The Ul stamp means it meets a very high quality requirement. The Ul approval is more desired than government approval and means something much better. Furthermore if you originate and build a goods and choose not to pay for the Ul testing you are not made into a criminal for not doing so as you will indeed would be if the Fda were involved. When it comes to the Ul, the buyer is the final authority and many shoppers won't buy a goods unless it has the Ul label on it and we see the Ul label on products every day. These are good products built with high standards but there is no threat, banishment, jail or fines if you do not have one. Let us suppose we had a natural, organic, whole foods underwriter seal of approval (Nowfu) this would be self regulation.
We must scrutinize by the following that Hidden persons and Hidden firm is best at regulating itself. Danika Amott illustrates this very clearly in her report in the Spring 2009 issue of Harvest Source Whole Foods Journal page 23 that in her son's case she found that adequate natural intake did away with the need for all "approved" pharmaceuticals that were not helping and were very expensive. For the Amott house taking personal accountability for themselves and the natural, organic, whole foods lifestyle was the answer.
We must study and apply this principle to the natural, organic and whole food firm (Nowfoods) and our own lives as the Amotts did because if more layers of government are added the supervene is less accountability by the citizenry and lower quality of aid by government. The intuit for this is that when government regulations are imposed people stop looking to be responsible for themselves because they realize that someone else who is more mighty is doing that for them. (When did you find some Fda guy more informed on the subject of natural, organic, whole foods than yourself?) This is a self imposed deception on a national basis. Nothing of the kind is happening because regulations are designed to eliminate competition and originate monopoly not protect anything as we have seen.
Competition is, by its very nature, self regulating where monopoly is not. Test this for yourself the next time you want to know something about a goods or service. Do this in the natural, organic, whole foods firm or the office equipment business. All you have to do is ask two competitive associates to evaluate the other associates goods or aid and they will expound all about their benefits and point out all the defects of the competition. On the other hand if only one firm made a goods you wanted (monopoly) then the goods or aid would be described by its maker as the best, safest and the most excellent goods to meet all needs. Commonly this is not the case because much more is left to be desired. When there is no competition there will be no "better mouse trap" or best natural, organic, whole foods firm there is only the modernist Fda drug culture.
Applying this to the natural, organic, whole foods industry, we must scrutinize that the Fda will disallow our claims and claiming for itself "perfection" by its own authority. Therefore natural, organic, whole foods are declared to be bad and itself to be good. It doesn't matter that the use of nutrients and supplements or organic, natural or whole foods will not interfere with most prescription drugs. In fact nutrients and supplements will often times reduce the whole of side effects. It doesn't matter because it is not about wholesome it is about operate and monopoly and protecting monster drug firm that doesn't need protecting.
The remedy for our own commerce is in our own hands. The natural, organic and whole foods communal must choose freedom and independence. We must originate our own "Nowfoods Underwriter" firm similar to the Ul. Why ask for the oppressiveness of big brother is we don't need it? Again we can take care of ourselves and have higher quality. We must taking accountability for ourselves and appose all attempts by government to regulate our natural, organic, whole foods industry. This is wise and retains our liberty. All the Government gets operate of the rains all it will do is add a very costly "paint job" over a sand foundation of intensive regulations to the natural, organic, whole foods commerce which will do nothing to make it what it ought to be. More big government is not our friend and the Fda is not the friend of the natural, organic, whole foods industry.
Let us re-focus and hold title to our own natural, organic, whole foods time to come by retention our firm our business. Let us fight for a wholesome time to come of the natural organic and whole foods commerce because it is still ours.
