Thoughts for the day... did you know?
When we were thinking about a name for our business it was a struggle to find a name that told what we were all about.
The name Freedom Farms actually comes from freedom pharms, freedom from Phamaceuticals. This is not from the belief that all medications are somehow bad for us and herbals are better, but rather from the standpoint of safety.
I believe prescription medications are a valuable tool in health. I do not however trust in their safety considering that over 80% of the OTC and prescribed medications or their active ingredients are manufactured outside of the United States mostly in China and India.
Congress recently held hearing regarding the safety of TicToc because it is a Chinese company. When did you ever hear of hearings on the safety of the millions of medical products prescribed and taken daily that come from China. You won't because of the substantial money our elected officials collect from the industries lobbyists. If we can't trust TicToc or a Chinese balloon why would a reasonable person trust them to produce medications and vaccines.
The monitoring of these imports is poor and often trusted to the same companies that produce them.
Even when a drug or manufacturer is suspected of a problem the FDA does little or nothing. (do a search of valsartan recall) The drug was recalled but the company continues to make a distribute other medications. Testimony in that case shows the FDA ignored warnings and that the problem is widespread in the industry.
We can't trust China, but we can trust the pharmaceuticals that they make, and we take.
Personally, not if I have a choice.
