Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary for health and human services, has doubled his support for non-pharmaceutical health treatments during a recently published podcast appearance and said: “We will end the war at the FDA against alternative medicine.”
About speaking Ultimate Human Podcast With the host Gary Brecka, a “renowned human biologist, organic farer and duration expert,” said Kennedy, he would repair the distortions of the US food and drug management against the following: stem cell treatments, chelat medication, vitamins and minerals, amino acid, peptides and hyperbars.
“Our position is that the FDA has a job: just make science on such topics and then tell the public what you have learned from science … but do not tell the doctors what you can do and what not,” he said. And as far as the patients are concerned, he said: “If you want to take an experimental medication … you should be able to do that.”
RFK Jr. added: “We don’t want to have the Wild West. We want to make sure that this information is out there. But we also want to respect the intelligence of the American people” in order to decide which treatments benefit them the most.
He admitted that with this approach “Charlataner” and “People who will have bad results” from various alternative treatments.
“But ultimately,” he said.
Brecka called Kennedy’s statements “Music about my ears”.
Below is what you need to know about the alternative therapies, for which RFK Jr. is for a support for therapy.
Stem cell therapy
What is that: This is a way to repair the sick or injured tissue in the body with stem cells that can be renewed themselves or in other types of tissues-typical of a laboratory, manipulated and then implanted in the patient.
What it does: Although it is considered largely experimentally, the FDA allows stem cell therapies for blood and immune disorders. Leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma, for example, are often treated with bone marrow treatments that are supported by science decades. Other types of treatment are still in clinical studies, while more and more wellness centers offer treatment for unauthorized reasons, whereby cells from the patient’s body are used and injected without manipulation for everything, from autism and as to Parkinson’s and better skin, skin, skin, and better skin, skin, skin, skin, the skin back injected. accordingly The New York Times.
Kennedy said Brecka that he received the treatment for his language disorder, convulsive dysphonia, and that she had helped him “enormously”, but he had to go to Antigua to access it.
Risks: For the beginning, the treatments of the wellness clinic cannot guarantee that they use the actual stem cell, reported the Just. And improper injections can lead to a variety of terrible consequences – clotting, infections, blindness and even the formation of tumors that the FDA warned in 2021.
Chelate drugs
What it is: The Chelat contains the use of certain chemicals to remove poisonous heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body. all Approved by the FDA Chelation therapy products require a recipe and can only be used safely under the supervision of a doctor’s practitioner.
What it does: Some alternative medicine practitioners offer a chelate therapy through pill or injection to treat Alzheimer’s, autism, diabetes, high blood pressure or Parkinson’s disease, all of which are not approved and risky.
Child health defense, founded by Kennedy, wrote about it Chelation as a path to the treatment of autism that compares “autism with mercury poisoning” due to vaccines in childhood, which contained conservative thimerosal (largely mercury) before it was removed in 2001. Some flu photos still contain the preservative, but the centers for the control and prevention of diseases.
Risks: The FDA Warns special To use chelate therapy for autism and found that “important minerals that are needed by the body can lead to serious and life-threatening results”. While slight risks include fever, headache, muscle pain and nausea or vomiting, serious reactions range from heart failure and kidney damage to breathing failure and seizures Cleveland Clinic.
Vitamins and minerals
What they are: Dietary supplements Almost every letter of the alphabet from A to Zink contains over -the -counter pills or liquids that contain nutrients from vitamins and minerals.
What you want to help: Vitamin and mineral preparations aim to fill with the necessary nutrients that a person does not get through food – although nutritionists believe that healthy foods are the best source for such vitamins and minerals. Studies have shown that dietary supplements can help practically any problem under the sun –energyHeart problems, cognitive functionDarm. sleepand more.
Risks: The US Food and Drug Administration regulates the nutritional supplements, but does not approved them out of security or effectiveness before they are sold to the public. Some can cause Liver damage And toxicityWhile others may just be one Waste of money.
Amino acids and peptides
What it is: Amino acids are often referred to as “building blocks of proteins” that are required for the construction of proteins, hormones and neurotransmitters. are connections that many critical roles play in your body. You need you for important processes such as the construction of proteins, hormones and neurotransmitters. Amino acids If foods such as meat, fish and soybeans are concentrated in protein -rich foods, and food that contains all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins.
Peptides are short proteins and are present in the form of hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) as well as creatine and collagen.
What you want to help: Amino acid dietary supplements can help with various problems how L-arginine for blood flow and inflammation; Tryptophan for mood and sleep; And Valin, leucine and isolucin help with energy and sporting performance.
Taking collagen preparations can help strengthen nails and bones while taking people Creatine for lifting training units and building muscle growth.
Risks: Side effects of taking both rich from Toxicity and gastrointestinal problems on the effects of the brain functional muscle protector. Creatine can cause muscle cramps and digestive problems (and can’t have many advantages) while tryptophan can cause dizziness, headache or nausea. And as with all nutritional supplements, however, the US Food and Drug Administration does not regulate it out of security or effectiveness before they are sold to the public.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
What it is: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy In a chamber approved by the FDA, you can breathe pure oxygen-in -ir opposite to everyday air, which is only 21% mixed with nitrogen. Hyperable oxygen is also put under pressure, which means that the lungs are not used in the home chambers (by people like Lebron James, Leann Rimes and Mayim Bialik) as well as those that are offered in many wellness clinics. Instead, use a regular air that is 30% more pressure than normal for the so -called “mild hyperbarics”.
What it helps: The FDA Regulated HBOT chambers since 1976 and have officially clarified 13 medical diseases for such treatment – such as decompression disease, burns, radiation injuries and certain wounds. However, it is used outside the label for many other reasons, including concealment of the brain, traumatic brain injuries, long covidal, age reversal, stroke recovery, fibromyalgia and improved brain function, many of which are viewed in current view Clinical studies.
Risks: For medical chambers, the risks include ear and sinus pain, middle ear injuries, temporary visual changes and lung collapse, which, according to FDA, is rare. For mild hyperbarics, the risks include a possible exposure to toxic oils of some compressors, carbon dioxide structure, which brings a risk of hypoxia in the chamber – or in the opinion of some experts and a group not clear evidence that the treatment is simply ineffective.
