Byron Richards Uncovers More FDA Deception

Byron Richards' recently published article criticizes FDA's practices and policies on the heels of his breakthrough book, Fight For Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) October 18, 2006 -- Consulting clients on nutritional needs by day, while uncovering FDA deception by night. Founder of Wellness Resources, Byron Richards, CCN provides thousands of people with effective natural health and preventative solutions. Yet even more impacting is Richards’ commitment to uncovering FDA dishonesty and promoting changes in FDA practices. On October 11, Richards published the article: Mutiny by an FDA Advisory Panel, uncovering the FDA’s incapability to protect the American public, and the call for sweeping changes by five current and past members of the FDA-assembled Drug Safety and Risk Management Committee.

Richards is not alone in his concerns regarding FDA practices. His recent article highlights similar apprehensions, by a collection of experts, regarding the FDA’s lack of performance. Curt D. Furberg, M.D., Ph. D and current member of the FDA Safety Committee recently interviewed with HealthDay reporter Amanda Gardner and expressed a need for change in FDA leadership stating, “Congress cannot leave them [the FDA on their own…What’s missing is a strong, dynamic leadership to make some changes…” Additionally, Richards includes excerpts in his article from FDA advisory panel member Steven E. Nissan, M.D. who was published in the New England Journal of Medicine blasting the FDA for covering up safety issues for children in ADHD medications.

The call for FDA reform follows closely on the heels of a recent report by the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, titled: The Future of Drug Safety: Promoting and Protecting the Health of the Public. These government advisors also called for sweeping changes within the FDA citing, “The FDA and the pharmaceutical industry do not consistently demonstrate accountability and transparency to the public by communicating safety concerns in a timely and effective fashion.”

Richards’ October 11 article and the collection of experts who share his concern regarding FDA deception are consistent with Richards’ breakthrough book, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America. This book is a stunning exposure of the secret world of the FDA, Wall Street, and drug companies. Based on scientific investigation by an expert in natural-health and health-care options, Richards’ book reveals FDA deceptions and drug company profit schemes.
