Testing... freedom of speech

Hi there, this post is sort of a quirky one, I doubt it will cause concern, but I'd like to experiment nonetheless. I heard recently the FDA is banning the posting of customer testimonials for health products and while this seems only to apply to the manufacturer's website, I might as well use it as an opportunity to spout some opinion from my experience with natural remedies. Whether fact or fiction, I think its a good idea to create content about it.

Here are some of the wonderfully useful supplements I take. I would like to note that I RARELY if EVER use ANY prescribed drugs. The occasional ibuprofen is about it for me.

Things I like:

• Echinacea: GREAT for boosting the immune system, especially during the onset of a cold/flu. I take it every day.
• Zinc: Ditto. This is probably the best immunity booster I've read about, easily ousting vitamin c. Zinc is important for Cell production and the immune system.
• Cayenne Pepper: An unknown gem to most people, Cayenne Pepper is great for blood circulation and the heart. In a recent cold bout I found the effects of Cayenne to help combat the cold amazing, but make sure to take this on a full stomach, otherwise you'll get very queezy from the capsaicin. 
• Realfood Organics brand multi-vitamin: If you've pontificated on whats in your multi-vitamin, you'll definitely want to do a bit of due diligence and find out the manufacturing ingredients. After some homework, I found most vitamins (the 6-10$ bottles) to be very poor indeed, some having ingredients that are BAD for you (obviously nothing huge, but why take vitamins when they contain harmful ingredients?) On top of that, they contained the cheapest forms of each respective vitamin, and in very low dosage. Realfood Organics runs me about 23$ a bottle, but it lasts a month and the difference is noticeable. Not only that, they are ORGANIC vitamins, which means the supplement comes from an organic source (i.e. from grown plants rather than what I can only call rocks.) I take 2 a day and they're great. They have two multi-vitamin lines, formulated specifically for men and women.
• Ginko Biloba: Nothing particularly amazing about this one, but I take gingko on a regular basis and I noticed some improvements after I did. I'm very confident I'd find better results if I used a higher quality brand.

Things I Don't like (I hesitate to say hate, if only to keep from sounding like a zealot):

• The FDA
• Merck
• Pfizer
• GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
• 99% of what the the previous three manufacture

In conclusion, my sort of health manifesto is simply that the U.S. is statistically extremely unhealthy, especially when compared to similarly developed nations. Is it merely coincidence that we have the most overbearing, bureaucratic...dare I say, fascist health policies, dictated by the FDA? I find that their health concerns directly correlate to the benefit of "Big Pharma" and are structured on remedy not prevention -- and in most (read: all) cases they do not cure, only subside.
