CDC to Withdraw Emergency Use Authorization for RT PCR Test Because It Cannot Distinguish Between SARS-COV-2 and the Flu
Posted July 27, 2021
The CDC quietly announced last week that it was withdrawing its request to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2. Most of the public is probably unaware that similar to the current COVID-19 injections that are not yet approved by the FDA, but only given Emergency Use Authorization, so too the hundreds of diagnostic tests that supposedly detect COVID-19 are also NOT approved by the FDA, but only authorized via an EUA.

They Knew All Along: Cell Phone Dangers.
Posted July 27, 2021
Cell phone companies had the technology to make their products safer, but never did. Cell phones have become ubiquitous in today’s world, with Americans spending nearly five and a half hours on their phones every day. But are they safe? A compelling case can be made that the cell phone industry knew about the dangers of their products for decades, even had patents on technology to make their phones safer for consumers, yet did nothing; in fact, companies endangered consumers by stubbornly insisting, to this day, that cell phones are completely safe, just like the tobacco industry assured Americans for years that cigarettes don’t cause cancer.

Posted July 27, 2021
The FDA could be preparing to unleash an anti-supplement policy as early as next year that could eliminate tens of thousands of products from the market—in the middle of a pandemic. Action Alert! Recently, the FDA announced that, by the end of June 2022, it plans to release drafts or final versions of a number of policies, and among them is the “new dietary ingredient” (NDI) guidance (“new supplement” guidance, in plain English).

Posted July 23, 2021
A California judge gave Monsanto and its German owner Bayer AG a pre-trial boost in a ruling issued Monday, a week before the scheduled start of a new courtroom challenge to the safety of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicides. Judge Gilbert Ochoa of the Superior Court of San Bernardino County in California agreed with Monsanto that federal law regarding pesticide regulation and labeling preempts “failure to warn” claims under state law, and the plaintiff in the trial set to start next week will not be allowed to pursue such claims.

Why the FDA is Attacking NAC Supplements
Posted July 22, 2021
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been on the market as a supplement for decades—why is the FDA attacking it now? Action Alert! A few weeks ago, we told you about the FDA’s recent actions threatening NAC supplements—products which the FDA has allowed on the market for decades. The question is, why now, after all these years, is the FDA doing this? Digging a bit deeper, it seems obvious that the FDA is clearing the market of affordable NAC supplements in an effort to eliminate competition for NAC drugs that could be coming to market in the next few years.

Arkansas Lawyer fights Dicamba Damage to Crop and Trees, Warms of Arson and Intimidation
Posted July 22, 2021
In May the Arkansas state Plant Board voted to allow farmers to spray the weedkiller dicamba up until June 30 over the top of GM dicamba-tolerant soybeans and cotton. Farmers had a May 25 cut-off in the past two growing seasons but changes in the board’s membership has led to a relaxing of restrictions. In recent years the Plant Board has instituted some seasonal restrictions over dicamba spraying, going beyond EPA guidelines, in a half-hearted attempt to limit the massive damage caused to crops, trees, and garden plants as the weedkiller drifts off-target.
