FDA Calls for Seizure of Dietary Supplemants

FDA Over $70,000 worth of goods from FulLife Natural Options, Inc. of Boca Raton, Fl were seized by U.S. Marshals last Tuesday at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The main products in question were Charantea Ampalaya Capsules and Charantea Ampalaya Tea, goods labeled as dietary supplements yet promoted as treatments for such conditions as diabetes, anemia, and hypertension. Unfortunately, it is these latter claims that has the FDA up in arms.

A formal complaint was filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida which accused the products of violating drug and misbranding provisions set forth by the FDA. As is standard practice, any goods making claims relating to the prevention or treatment of disease must be subject to regulation as drugs. Despite FDA warnings, FulLife failed to bring its marketing into compliance with the law and continued to market the products as usual.

The FDA considers these products to be unapproved new drugs because they make claims related to disease prevention and treatment. However, every new drug product must be first approved by the FDA for safety and effectiveness before they are legally permitted on the marketplace. Consequently, as FulLife Natural allowed its website to post statements concerning the therapeutic value of the Charantea products, the FDA was forced to take action.

This is typical of the FDA. Their primary goal is to force any item off the market that can’t be patented and owned by a large pharacuitical company. It’s a total lie when they state reasons of “safety” for removing items like this from the market. Just take a look at what they did to Cansema. It makes me sick...it’s all about the $$$$, nothing else. Helping people comes a very distant second to the money making.

Hi,
When my husband was diagnosed with liver cancer and hepatitis C, I turned to drugs instead of God. When I had reached my lowest point a friend held my face in her hands and said three words that changed my life, “JESUS LOVES YOU.” We began going to church. Our pastor prayed for my husband and three weeks later, when my husband was tested, they found nothing wrong with his liver and his blood tested normal. I have been drug free for a year and my entire family is saved and looking forward to Heaven. Being a Christian is not easy, because Satan does not want to let go of you. But we have to pray and have faith that the Lord will protect us and He will. Cynthia. “The prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will raise him up...”
Regards, Parkins
