The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are suppose to be the watchdogs of our health and protect us.

It is very disturbing to me that they do not fulfill their obligation, as they should. Even many drugs are approved quickly without regard to their safety.

Consequently thousands of lives have been lost because the FDA only seems concerned about the financial returns of Big Pharma instead of the welfare and health of our citizens.

Usually people guilty of other people's injuries and death are prosecuted and receive jail terms because of their actions. Should there be any reprieve for drug companies or other companies who are also guilty of their products being responsible for the deaths or injuries of individuals?

The recent peanut recall is just another situation of the failure of the FDA to take action to protect people's health. Yes, they took action but only after some deaths and serious illnesses were reported. Is this the only time you take action?

If you were to add up all the deaths and serious injuries in this country that is the responsibility of the inaction of the FDA it would add up to millions I'm sure.

When hearing about the filthy conditions in the peanut factory it is unbelievable that the owner had no regard how that would affect the sanitary condition of his product.

Such a person should never be able to operate a company with these deplorable health conditions. And even the FDA either didn't care or just turned its head in the other direction and ignored the situation.

I believe our new president should be jumping on this situation immediately and encouraging congress to get more involved how the FDA and CDC conduct their business.

It looks like the only way we will ever solve these disgusting situations is by forming associations that are concerned about people's heallth. The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is an organization that is concerned about the safety of all vaccines.

The Gardasil vaccine and other vaccines are of great concern to them. It's really a shame that we have to form such organizations to do a job that the FDA and the CDC are responsible to do.

Parents are usually forced to commit their children to taking these vaccines before they can be admitted to school. Then the only defense they have is to self school their children.

Whatever happened to our personal freedoms? Are we headed to becoming a gestapo-type government? It looks rather frightening when you think about it.

The FDA raids on businesses selling nutritional products deemed dangerous to human consumption begins to look like the way this government is headed. And if that wasn't enough concern, what about the raids on highly respected doctors whose offices have experienced the same actions.

Their only crime was treating patients with alternative treatments instead of the conventional methods of treatments.

It seems to me that the FDA is more concerned about performing these kinds of actions instead of being concerned about unsanitary conditions in a peanut company or vaccines that have killed or caused serious injuries to young children.

What's next, will it be raiding our homes because we choose to be healthy and consume a daily amount of nutritional supplements?

I appeal to everyone who is reading this article to voice your opinion if you don't like how the government is handling situations that affect your health.

When you have the opportunity to sign petitions demanding government organizations to correct any situations that affects your health or other matters, please do so.

This will be the only way we will ever get the government to be concerned about our welfare instead of them defending corporations and organizations who disrupt our lives in some way.

Don't ever be threatened by any government organization for speaking up and defending your rights. This is what America was founded on.

To your good health,
