Interview with Mary Ruwart

Ron and Ed are pleased to welcome Dr. Mary Ruwart to the show to discuss her new book, Death by Regulation. During this episode we will explore how the FDA is directly affecting your life and the lives of millions, if not billions of people because of the 1962 Amendments to the Food & Drug Act which have shaved at least five years off of your lifespan without making drugs safer and more effective. In her new book, Death by Regulation: How We Were Robbed of a Golden Age of Health and How We Can Claim It, Dr. Mary Ruwart details how the FDA shifted our medical paradigm from inexpensive prevention to costly treatment, censored life-saving nutritional approaches to disease, added a decade to the time it takes to get a new drug from the lab bench to market place, destroyed over half of our medical/pharmaceutical/nutritional innovations, and caused the prices of drugs to soar without improving safety or effectiveness.
