FDA bans natural thyroid millions need: action is FDA trademark.
We have learned that TIME-Cap Labs, producer of a generic version
of the brand name drug Armour, a natural and bioidentical thyroid
replacement, has been ordered by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
to stop production. The FDA has decided to classify the company's
product, available for over a century, as an unapproved new drug. Since
the new drug approval process is prohibitively expensive for a
non-patentable substance, the FDA is in effect banning the natural
product. The purpose? Presumably to protect the profits of other,
inferior drugs that have been FDA-approved. The FDA does not ban deadly
pharmaceuticals, only that which is safe or effective.
