 Dear Reader,
What's better than making billions off a hit drug?
Finding another application for the drug and doubling up on profits, obviously!
Of course, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't allow Big Pharma to promote off-label use of drugs — the use of a particular drug for something other than its FDA-approved application. But this is not just the case in the US.
In Europe, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has also confirmed its dissatisfaction with the practice of off-label medicine use, with the Agency's former executive director, Thomas Lonngren, having stated while in office that "for a European Union (EU) member state to encourage the use of a pharmaceutical for an indication for which it is not licensed would be a breach of EU legislation."
But those clever drug companies aren't going to let a little thing like FDA and EMA regulations bring them down! No siree, they're hard at work finding a way to circumvent the restriction.
In the past, drug giants such as Pfizer and Eli Lilly have been forced to defend themselves, sometimes in criminal trials, against charges of off-label promotion.
However, now in the US, they're switching sides of the courtroom as they're challenging the FDA's rules. They want to say whatever they want in their advertising campaigns, and by golly, they'll fight for that right!
Of course, there's a reason drug companies aren't allowed to rattle off any claims they want in their advertising. Put plainly, pharmaceutical companies cannot promote something as safe and effective when that hasn't been proven.
Seems like pretty solid reasoning to me. It makes sense, right? But then again it's all about the money for Big Pharma. While regulators are thinking safety, they're thinking revenue. It costs big money to go through the FDA's drug approval process for a second use for a drug that's already been approved — money they just don't want to spend.
So they're instead investing the money on a longer-term strategy... fighting for their "freedom." That's right — because pharmaceutical corporations are "people," they can apparently do whatever they like with detailed prescription drug records, all in the name of marketing...uh, I mean, free speech.

An end to angina attacks?
Q: Is there a way to stop angina attacks, or at least make them less severe?
Dr Jonathan V. Wright: Angina pain is usually due to ischaemia, which means lack of blood flow. Attacks are brought on when the arteries that serve the heart narrow and go into spasm. Since rapid infusions of magnesium can quickly relax blood-vessel spasms anywhere in the body, it's ideal for this situation.
Over the last 30 years, I've treated dozens of angina patients with rapid intravenous infusions of magnesium (given along with vitamin B6). These infusions always put an end to the angina attack, and with repeated infusions on a regular basis, angina pain almost always fades away permanently.
Obviously, since this treatment involves IV nutrients, it requires the help of a doctor skilled and knowledgeable in natural medicine.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own physician before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
