There's a new boss in charge of your provider. Its the FDA. In the recent Omnibus Spending bill for 2023. The Wallstreet journal published an article regarding the 4155 page $1.7trillion spending bill. They included the fact that the FDA now wants to regulate the practice of medicine. Even though they don't have a license to practice.

So why was congress so ready to give up the rights of physicians to make a medical Decision?

Who knows really, but they did something similar in May of 22 with Medical Devices. See this Article.

In most estimations, The limitation of Drugs for Off Label Uses comes as a movement in direct response to the Ivermectin and Quercetin argument of 2020-2022. But it goes beyond that. There are many times where a pharmaceutical company will produce a new drug and they want only that drug to be used for the labeled use. Even if, because we all have different genetics, a different drug to treat something else is working for 30% of the populations.

This pushes the price of pharmaceuticals up, as the "newness" has a bigger fee, it is often not on the insurance companies formulary of approved drugs, and is therefore not covered, and it helps the pharmaceutical companies pay for R&D. On the backs of the people who "need" the medication.

If we push for only "labeled use" we will miss 70% of the population according to the requirements of the pharmaceutical studies. Those studies only have to show effectiveness, without harm, of any drug in study for 30% of the population of the study. If you look further at Ivermectin, the treatment for cancer is promising, but that is not a Labeled Use, so Chemotherapy is still the primary treatment. Another person who would say that "off Label Use" is a RIGHT and an important part of medicine is Dr. Jane McClelland, M.D. She was able to "STARVE CANCER" by using off label statins and other medications to heal herself and thousands of others.

Dr. McClelland has spoken out on several podcasts about this. The fact that Statins from 20-30 years ago are strong anti cancer medications and that you can avoid surgeries and chemo with them. Her book and website have become a resource for practicing providers and patients alike. She also offers online courses where you can learn to restore health.

I think one of the biggest things that we can learn from Dr. McClelland, Dr. Mark Hyman, James Maskell, and others in the space of Lifestyle Medicine is that the primary factor in all of this is the patient. That the Genetics of the patient must be considered. That the patients tolerance for detoxification, healing and metabolism for pharmaceuticals is paramount in decision making.

The other thing that all of these Medical providers would say is this: Lifestyle and Environment is the primary factor in the process of disease. The body has the capability to heal when supported appropriately. That support looks like:

1. Real Food with vegetables and protein that look like they do in nature
2. Fasting 14-16 hours a day
3. Sleep 7-9 hours a day
4. Movement. even walking 20 min a day
