The FDA is not a pack of Devils.
They are, however, in a compromising funding position due to the way
testing is structured. [who does it and who pays for it ]
Makes for some weird and biased conclusions now and then.
The FDA "mission" is protecting the public, however, they don't know much
about what's not in their little "bible".
Therefore, if no great harm is in sight, they'll turn a blind eye to most
activities...and add a bit of over cautionary propaganda as urged to by
their odd funding bed buddies.
Being someones reluctant "friend" does not make them everyone elses
absolute enemy.
Reading the alt health cautionary dog tails, it is purposefully chock full
of legalese loopholes.
For example: "Not proven safe and effective" does not mean "Proven
unsafe and ineffective"
It means they haven't tested it and can't test hardly anything because of
how the testing funding is structured.
The FDA doesn't have the funds to do much *in house* testing of anything
and cannot possibly oversee the vast empires of food processors.
All they have to work with is the "acid test"....when people start
getting burned, they kick over and start tracking things down.
When the fire is put out, they go back to looking the other way. [
distractedly sucking big bucks butt for funds ]
I've known doctors to prescribe turkey sandwiches [for the tryptophan]
instead of prozac etc.
Doctors are "people" with all their flaws and graces.
But, they are "paid" to be right and sued when wrong, caught between a
rock and a hard place.
"Going by the book" is safer, so that's what they usually do. [ and blame
the book if something goes wrong ]
If writing something in the margins isn't likely to hurt, they'll sometimes
do that as well.
Neither can tell you what to do in private.
You can kill yourself if you want to.
But they'll hang you for murder if you succeed and try to hide those
ropes away from the public as best they can afford to...till the public
stops screaming for protection.
If by chance you guess right and save yourself, you get a new life
sentence...oh well.
Just good for an official shrug.

For all the criticism of the FDA here, most of it deserved, they have to
get credit for lifting the ban eventually. I hadn't known. Thanks for
the information.

That ban was lifted in 2002. You should be able to get it at any health
food store, or google for "L-Tryptophan" and you will find lots of
on-line sources.
