UPDATE ON WEIL, P&G, FDA

November 1, 2009. Now Proctor&Gamble also has a problem. The FDA has sent a warning letter to the mega-giant about its marketing of a Vick’s cold remedy which contains Vitamin C.

The FDA states it has previously decided there is insufficient evidence to claim Vitamin C can lessen cold symptoms. Therefore, P&G can’t make any such claims in its ads.

What’s going on here? Well, the FDA sees an opportunity and is attacking. In the middle of all the Swine Flu hysteria, it’s a good moment to come down hard on nutrients----because, well, medical drugs and vaccines are the only substances that have the government seal of approval---and all those maniacs out there who don’t want the Swine Flu vaccine, who are “natural health” freaks---they need a lesson. They need to feel the lash.

Of course, Proctor&Gamble is a nice target, because the FDA is saying, “No one is too big to feel our power.”

And Vitamin C is a wonderful message for the FDA. The agency is essentially saying that the most thoroughly researched and well-known nutrient in the world can’t be promoted for its beneficial effects on colds. If Vitamin C is off-limits, then by implication any nutrient or supplement can be attacked for making health claims.

A few more words about the rest of this article, which I wrote yesterday. I’ve slammed the FDA before, going back all the way to the early 1990s. And I’ve noticed a curious reticence on the part of people to acknowledge that FDA has approved many, many drugs that kill people in fantastically large numbers.
