Almost everybody knows that the FDA The Food and Drug Government Agency was originally set up to protect we poor consumers from bad food and drugs. Most everybody still believes that they do that, but they’re wrong! Did you know that 80% of the employees of the FDA work only on approval of new drugs, and less than 20% work on enforcement?

This makes it very plain that the FDAs primary purpose is to approve new and all too dangerous drugs. Not much else matters unless several people die from these drugs. Just ignore the many side effects, which should be a clue to future problems. Did you know that way too many of the persons on the board that approves new drugs have vested interests stocks, friends, boards of directors, grants, etc of the very drug companies they are supposedly protecting US from?

Recently, a study printed in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. showed clearly that there are distinct conflicts of interest in over 30% of all drugs approved, but less than 1% recused themselves from such approval meetings, as they are legally and morally required to do. In a recent case 10 of the 32 FDA drug advisers on the board that originally approved the controversial painkillers Celebrex, Bextra and Vioxx had financial ties to the industry. Thats a powerful set of voters to influence that board. There are way too many persons on that board that are consultants to drug companies; on the board of directors of drug companies; have grants from drug companies, etc. For more facts and info on this see: http://www.citizen.org/pressroom/release.cfm?ID=2184

Did you know that the FDA is partially funded by the drug companies? I .was very surprised to learn that under the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act drug companies were allowed to actually fund the FDA! The so-called Government Agency that is supposed to protect us from bad food and drugs is paid for by the very companies they are supposed to regulate. Even in the Roman Empire, the phrase Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? was well known – who watches the watchers? A conflict of interest! You bet!

First of all, I’m sure you’re curious right off the bat to hear what binaural beats sound like, so let’s take a listen:

So-called “audible drugs” in the form of MP3 files, which allegedly give listeners similar effects as illegal drugs, are spreading online quickly.

The tracks, called “I-Dosers,” have been known among Internet-savvy users as a legal alternative to illicit drugs without the side effects. Several Internet communities have recently been created to share the music files and relevant information.

With no reports of side effects or accidents caused by the “cyber drug” yet, police remain inactive, while experts express concern over possible addiction to what they call “audible drugs.”

This kind of talk is a bunch of bunk by people who don’t know what they’re talking about. I have a few of the I-Doser “doses” as they’re called. They are great for a change of pace during meditation. One of the doses I have is called “Sleeping Angel” and it is kind of cool. It’s based in Theta and Delta frequencies and at one point there’s an effect where it ramps down from high Theta to low Delta and it makes you kind of feel like you’re floating backwards. But other than that I think it’s a mind over matter thing. The doses that they call speed are based in high Beta and Gamma and the doses in the downer category are based in deeper frequencies.

Don’t discount them. But they’re definitely nothing to fear and like I said, they are a refreshing change from a normal meditation binaural beat recording.
