Jonathan Emord holds the record for beating the FDA in Court! He has fought FDA and FTC for sixteen years in an effort to end government censorship of health information. He has extensive knowledge of the latest policies, politics and financial interests at work at FDA, at FTC, and on Capitol Hill. A lawyer who fights corruption in government as his stock and trade, he is well qualified to reveal the real interests supporting and opposing government actions in the drug and dietary supplement market: those who call the shots, those who stand to gain, and those who stand to lose. Called the "FDA Dragonslayer," Emord has a consistent career of opposing those who for private financial gain or the want of power violate constitutional rights.

Did you know that the Food and Drug Administration prohibits food and dietary supplement companies from telling consumers how nutrients in their products can prevent or treat disease? No person who or entity that sells nutrients can lawfully tell you the therapeutic effects of those products unless FDA approves each statement; that prior restraint is imposed even if the statement is true. To tell you one sentence of truth about how a nutrient affects a disease, a company must spend tens of thousands of dollars and wait for a year or more until FDA approves it (and FDA approves precious few). Not many companies can afford those rates or those odds.

The effect is a mass suppression of health information in grocery stores, health food stores, and in the media. Those with the greatest financial interest in telling you the effects of the most basic substances we consume every day cannot legally tell you. For example, it is illegal for those who sell prune juice to tell consumers that their products relieve chronic constipation yet who on earth would question the truth of that statement? A company that did tell you that effect could have its product enjoined from sale and seized and its corporate officers prosecuted with potential prison terms.
