You know, every once in a while we get into a debate here (over IFUS) about FDA approved prescription only drugs, versus food supplements (like IFUS markets) and the credibility, or lack thereof, of products that came out of FDA drug trials, versus supplements that had no FDA trials.
But I got to thinking, most things we buy, like TVs, computers, cell phones, cars, and so on, also never went through FDA, or similar government trials or approvals!!! Yet no one is trying to claim that my laptop I am typing this on, is suedo science snake oil because it does not have the US Government stamp of approval.
Many products that made it through FDA trials and approvals are now widely advertised on TV now as having caused serious side effects for which law firms are now widely advertising day and night on national TV about the nasty side effects and how to sue the big drug firms for damages....Like birth defects from taking Zoloft!
In the end, placebo trials do not seem to be all they are cracked up to be, based on the flood of TV ads I see for lawsuits. How you feel after taking the product for years is all an end user cares about in the end, quality of life. If we went by the idea that any product that did not go through FDA trials was dangerous snake oil, I wonder what we would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Genetically modified Monsanto crops perhaps? LOL
Also, many biotechs that have no sellable products yet, and no revenues, have market caps of 100 million dollars and higher, while IFUS has selling products being sold and repeatedly bought by happy customers already and a lowly market cap of only about 200,000 to 300,000 dollars.
Ambition with out knowledge is like ship in dry dock. Going nowhere fast!
