A United States Rep. named Ron Paul, a republican from Texas in the past has introduced a bill that would curb restrictions imposed by the FDA and FTC regarding health claims for dietary supplements. Why would he do that in this regard? Aren’t these restrictions good for the consumer to make sure they don’t get ripped off by snake oil salesmen making false claims when it comes to health?

Even though I’m a chiropractor in San Diego that promotes alternative medicine, like it or not, some health crises require medication. The question is, just how safe are your prescription pills? Your physician prescribes them and they are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved. But are they safe? Studies show that you may not be as safe as you would like to be! No drugs – not even aspirin is 100% safe. Whether you realize it or not, whenever you take a drug, you are weighing the potential benefits against the possibility that the medicine can hurt you.
