Big Pharma has a big hand in this.....no question.

Article from 2019.

There have been nearly 12,000 adult stem cell therapies performed in the United States with an over 90 percent success healing rate for mostly joint and spinal conditions. It involves using the patient’s own stem cells, so no patent-able drugs are involved.

The bottom line is FDA's motive, the "why" factor. Why would FDA target a successful and ethically sound area (use of adult stem cells) that is not within the realm of the controversial embryonic stem cells?

Okay, let's follow the money trail. Reportedly, about 55 percent, or $3.1 billion, of FDA's budget is provided by federal budget authorization. The remaining 45 percent, or $2.6 billion, is paid for by industry user fees. The FDA budget is equivalent to $9.63 per American per year. (Oct 18, 2019) The fact that the FDA relies upon drug company money is without a doubt insane.

What does the FDA's website say about their use of funding? According to the FDA's website page: The User Fee programs help the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fulfill its mission of protecting the public health and accelerating innovation in the industry. If that's the case, than they are blatantly misusing these funds in the attempt to block the use of adult stem cells for regenerative purposes.

Unfortunately, the FDA's protocol has been a mess for many years including: a bi-annual year end rush to approve way too many meds at once to beat a deadline, and black boxing meds that have proven to be safe and effective in other countries but FDA keeps them off the US market. Now, they are targeting the use of adult stem cells that has helped so many people?

I guess it should be of no surprise, as the FDA lacks a long-term motive to back any type of curative measures. After all, take away the need to regulate drugs, blood and tissue products, vaccines, and gene therapy, and at least one-third of their agency would be out of a job. This targeting shows the FDA's long-term motive well, by going after those in the scientific and medical community who are doing the right thing to improve lives without taking lives.

My opinion about the FDA remains the same. It is an outdated mess that covers too much and needs a thorough investigation about how to improve it. Check out the FDA website, so many different levels of control and so many cooks in the mix, no wonder there are issues. It's too big to even be under the same umbrella. To be effective and efficient, a system of checks and balances is needed with complete transparency for the public at large to gauge.
