FDA Wins Right To Regulate Adult Stem-Cell Treatments
ananyo writes "A court decision on 23 July could help to tame the largely unregulated field of adult stem-cell treatments. The US District Court in Washington DC affirmed the right of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate therapies made from a patient's own processed stem cells. The case hinged on whether the court agreed with the FDA that such stem cells are drugs. The judge concurred, upholding an injunction brought by the FDA against Regenerative Sciences, based in Broomfield, Colorado. The FDA had ordered Regenerative Sciences to stop offering 'Regenexx', its stem cell treatment for joint pain, in August 2010. As Slashdot has noted before, they are far from the only company offering unproven stem cell therapies."
yeah, except the 'very specific' cases in the hands of the government become general powers, and who and what army is going to stop the government from taking a decision of a court that is based on a very limited and specific set of circumstances and using it to cover all general cases?
That's the reason the personal income taxes are collected by the IRS. Personal income taxes are illegal and are collected illegally, the court cases regarding income taxes ruled that the 16th amendment only allows the government to collect taxes from corporate profits, not from anything remotely similar to 'personal income', you can see the journal entry that I am linking to in my sig to get more information on it.
The person who was trying to make that argument to the courts in USA has served 3 sentences and is now serving his 4th, it's a 13 year sentence handed out to a 78 y.o. guy, who is now 84, and the judge never allowed his arguments to be heard by the jury, it's not hard to guess why the jury wasn't allowed to listen to the arguments in the case.
You can't handle the truth.
Oh, you are so full of nonsense. As to patents - yeah, patents and copyrights must be abolished, governments shouldn't be creating artificial barriers to entry based on any such privileges, protecting people's business models.
Low low prices is what people need, as to quality, again, it is up to the people in the free market to share this information about doctors and treatments, and nothing is easier in the age of the Internet, that's what people do - they look at ratings on sites they trust. It works for movies, boos, phones, computers, cars, houses, boats, airplanes, hotels, restaurants and even hospitals, teachers and doctors today, so it is no longer a problem - sharing of information. The problem is you, you are completely braindead.
Lasik eye surgery has much FEWER regulations, dumb ass, the prices are not going up, the veterinarian care is quick, cheap and superb, and it's due to the mostly free market in health care and insurance when it comes to pets.
You can't handle the truth.
