When do scientific theories become scientific fact?

I know when they, the scientists, in this case prove it to be so.
But still, as consumers counting on the FDA, here in the states, which to non Americans is our Food and Drug Administration: “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), veterinary products, and cosmetics.”
As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDA
So when dealing with possible charlatans we as citizens of these fine United States of America have the right, before purchasing from anyone, even decent reputable vendors, we are entitled to full disclosure relating to said items and all their side affects that we may consider in our needs or in our family’s needs to use.
Commonly many don’t realize that this right should be exercised not only with a car, but with doctor or with medication or even supplements that will be ingested by you or someone you love.

Now here is where the iffy part comes into effect when you interview the perspective executor of the product that you desire and hit a brick wall with not receiving any answers, RED LIGHT!
And so was my yesterday interview with a woman who has a weight loss supplement company online via Facebook.
I made the appointment for the free session to find out about her product that would help me finally to lose the weight I have discussed over and over again here too many times to recall an exact number.
I even filled out her questionnaire that was enclosed in her email to me, and yet with all my true and honest desire to do something finally, she would not answer three questions of mine that I felt were simple enough to determine if what her company had to offer me was going to be my answer.
And so I tried calling her number that had been enclosed in the email and it was nearly an hour prior to our arranged time for the free offer to begin. I only felt it fair if she could answer my three little questions then I would more than likely be willing to proceed and we would be coach and willing client to become my old thinner healthy self.
My questions were simple and concise:
1. How much do you charge?
2. Did you check to see if my medications would interact with your supplement? ( I had sent her the list)
3. Do you have FDA approval?

She chose not to call me back prior to our allotted appointment which I called her business number at 9:47 A.M. and her outgoing message stated that her business hours started at 8:A.M. When she did call it was two minutes later than our agreed upon time, stickler, you betcha! Ten forty-five, we had made the appointment for and when a professional doesn’t show on or before their time that alone is a red light to me!
Not one question was answered that gave me confidence to proceed and we terminated the conversation.
When I asked the first one, she said I determine what the price is as we go on, or some such thing; not verbatim, but close.
The second one about checking if her supplement was compatible with what I am already ingesting daily, fifteen pills and one injection, the answer was no, she had not; dangerous!
The third question about FDA approval was, no too.
Although, I do know that many supplements are not considered controlled substances many an interaction with prescribed medications has caused a persons death!
Perhaps, many think that I was too harsh and not flexible enough when dealing with someone who truly wanted to help me change me for the better…, hmm?
I found over my many years on this planet whenever it sounds too good to be true it usually is and I am more than sure that you have too.
Legitimate businesses should always have set or available price lists for products, not vague, if it goes this way or that pricing, is another red flag!
Answering other legitimate concerns when dealing with people with chronic illnesses is something that any weight loss Guru’s should be more careful with too.
Far as having affiliation with government agencies that approve or disapprove of ingested medications or foods is only a possible reliability; since we have all heard many horrors of recalls… but unregulated consumed products should always be checked out thoroughly to be safe, and that is all I am saying here…
It could be that I was too worried with being taken, since it has happened to me even with all my cautions to others. Why I am human and have been known to also be too trusting and that is when I was taken!
So think of tonight’s rant as being a cautionary tale to be used for whatever you care to do…
Don’t ever be shy about asking questions, and too bad if they don’t like them or act as if you insulted them… over the phone they aren’t likely to spit in your face, food, or shoes, and no never ever happened to me… but who knows what my future may bring, since I do have a most inquisitive inquiring mind and it appears to be all I got these days!
On that trying to help make the world a better place for all of us beings, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all you overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS in the end I felt it best to unfriend her on Facebook, but you know what she beat me to it, by this much...
