Our Petition To Reform FDA The corrupt governmental agency that says it’s “protecting and promoting your health” is directly responsible for the deaths of 50,000 Americans each year. Join us in calling for a complete overhaul of the US Food and Drug Administration! These failures affect the health of all Americans. Good drugs are either not approved or are approved after interminable delays. Even after new drugs are shown to be safe, doctors are not allowed to use them with terminally ill patients whose cases are otherwise hopeless. Instead, the FDA approves a shocking number of extremely dangerous and often addictive drugs—often on the basis of a recommendation by panels whose members include consultants from drug companies that have deliberately suppressed unfavorable scientific drug studies. The agency has been waging war against raw milk and censoring free speech about the science of natural foods. The FDA is shockingly biased in favor of drugs and against nutritional supplements, and will go out of their way to protect Big Pharma’s profits, overreaching beyond their jurisdiction with disturbing power grabs. We must persuade Congress to address the comprehensive failure of the FDA. Please sign our Reform the FDA Petition! We must collect such a large number of names on the petition that it compels congressional action. Congress already knows that the FDA has serious problems. This petition will help move them to take the urgent action required. Recipients ANH-USA Petition Message Reform the FDA Dear [Decision Maker], * Personalize your message A 60-page report entitled "FDA Science and Mission at Risk" was released by the FDA in 2007. In this report, the agency admitted that it lacks the competency and capacity to keep up with scientific advances. The FDA now admits that Americans are suffering and dying because the agency does not have the scientific ability to ascertain if new drugs are safe or effective or to evaluate scientific claims. Meanwhile the FDA censors the communication of scientific information and opposes or bans cheaper and often more effective natural remedies in a misguided effort to maintain an FDA-approved drug monopoly. If they put into effect their recent proposed new rules for vitamins and supplements, which have a spotless safety record, it would cripple the industry and have a tremendously negative impact on national health. Some 50% of our citizens are vitamin users; if they were deprived of those products, the president and Congress would face an outcry of unprecedented proportions. FDA rules permit drug companies to hide scientific studies of their products, even those funded by the federal government, which show adverse or even fatal effects of the drug being submitted for approval. Only after the damage has been done does the approval get reversed. For example, a British Medical Journal recent study found that 35 of the 42 clinical studies on Avandia, which in 2007 was later found to increase heart attacks and cardiovascular deaths, had never been published -- because GlaxoSmithKline did not like the data. Similarly, problems were found with Vytorin, the cholesterol drug from Schering-Plough; Multaq, a drug that treated cardiac arrhythmias; and Infuse, Medtronic's bone-growth stimulating back surgery device. Some members of Congress think that giving the FDA more money will solve these problems. But the FDA report itself admits that the agency's scientific ineptitude is not solely due to a lack of money. We should not give the admittedly incompetent FDA any more tax dollars. And we should not finance it with drug company money either because then the agency no longer works solely for the public; this has become apparent when FDA scientists recommend an action, but the management does not accept it. Rather than give the failed FDA more money, give it instead a total reform and restructuring. We, the citizens whose signatures appear below, respectfully request immediate action to reform the FDA. A total overhaul is urgently needed. Everything about the FDA must be taken apart, reviewed, redefined, and recreated so that it supports, not obstructs, the mission of advancing medical science and vibrant good health for all.
