Sorry, your FDA source has ZERO credibility.
If you wanted to just state your opinion you could have done that a few posts ago. It doesn't mean anything, being just an opinion and all, bereft of facts, but if you just want to talk about your feels, that's fine.
Your FDA hasn't been able to take any action on what you chose to use an attempted slur against the good doctor.
Typical.
Apparently, this isn't the good Dr. Mercola's first rodeo with the Feds.
2016:
Marketers of Indoor Tanning Systems to Pay Refunds to Consumers
Defendants Ran Ads Claiming That Indoor Tanning Is Safe, Doesn’t Increase the Risk of Skin Cancer
The Illinois-based marketers of Mercola-brand indoor tanning systems will pay refunds to consumers and will be permanently banned from marketing or selling indoor tanning systems, under a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.
In the FTC’s complaint, which was filed in federal court, the Commission charged that Dr. Joseph Mercola and his two companies ran ads claiming that their indoor tanning systems are safe, that research proves indoor tanning does not increase the risk of melanoma skin cancer, and that their systems which deliver both ultraviolet (UV) light and red light can “reverse the appearance of aging.” The FTC’s complaint alleged that these claims are false, misleading, or unsubstantiated.
Finally, the defendants must pay refunds to consumers who bought Mercola brand indoor tanning systems between January 1, 2012 and the present. An FTC redress administrator will send refund eligibility notices and claim forms to these consumers. Purchasers who want a refund must return the claim form by the date stated in the letter. The defendants are required to pay a maximum of $5,334,067 to cover the cost of refunds and administration of the refund program.
Ultimately, he had to refund $2.6 million for his tanning salon solutions. I'd say that's definitely the Feds (FTC) "taking action". Wouldn't you think so? Unless you think 2 1/2 million dollars isn't that much of an "action".
So, the FDA hasn't taken any action.
Thanks.
The "action" was a warning letter for him to remove false claims from the vitamins, etc, he sells on his site. And guess what, he no longer has those false claims on his shopping site. I wonder what "action" caused that to happen...
The FDA has observed that your website offers “Liposomal Vitamin C,” “Liposomal Vitamin D3,” and “Quercetin and Pterostilbene Advanced” products for sale in the United States and that these products are intended to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-191 in people.Guess what, the good Dr's shopping site no longer mentions anything about covid in regard to those products.
So yeah, the "action” was:
- He received a warning from the FDA to remove his false claims about his products he was shilling
- As a result of the warning "action" from the FDA, he removed all of the false claims about his products he's shilling
I would call that "action", otherwise he would still have all of the false claims about his products he's shilling - He doesn't anymore.
And, of course, there's the FTC "action" as well, that caused him to refund $2.6 million dollars for his tanning bed scheme.
So yeah, a lot of "action".
