“Once Apan a Time”
The Apan mushroom is not a proverbial fairy tale, but rather has a deep-rooted history. Mushrooms in general have been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. In fact, Mother Nature has always provided us with all the essential nutrients and ability to sustain strength, health and livelihood. These Divine gifts also provided reparative functions when we became unbalanced with disease.
Modern drug discovery began in the nineteenth century. It is well documented that natural products played key roles in modern drug antibacterial and antitumor product development. Natural products are still very important to the creation of new drug candidates by providing a critical core structure on which to build.
Even before synthetic pharmaceuticals there was general concern about food contamination. President Lincoln appointed a chemist to monitor food safety. This really ramped up in 1906 with the pure food and drug act. Upton Sinclair’s book “The Jungle” about lacked sanitary standards in the meat industry forced a major shift in food and drug regulation. The official food and drug administration came in 1930 and was given more authority in 1938 to cover more chemicals and devices.
The shift from all natural to synthetic pharmaceuticals is multi-faceted. As population increased there became more dramatic demand for controlled safe products. This meant larger facilities to meet the need. This in turn required even greater quality control and regulations. It was also clear that formulated products could be patented and represent a huge profitability motive. This created a boom that has now become overwhelming. The FDA now approves approximately 50 new and novel molecular entities or therapeutic biologics a year. The FDA recalls roughly 330 drugs yearly. This is usually for labeling, quality control or contamination. What this means is the FDA is doing a reasonable job to protect the general public. Occasionally, some drugs are actually taken off the market due to long term unexpected side effects. These negative effects are often found in the liver, kidneys or cardiovascular system.
So, what does this all mean to you? The only way to see the long-term effects of a drug is to monitor it over time. The FDA is faced with a conundrum. Consumers want minimally tested cures for their maladies and push for drug approval to be speeded up. However, they will hold the FDA accountable if hasty approval is given without the proper research and timeline.
