So, the FDA approves of drugs warning of terrible side effects associated with their use with no guarantee they will work effectively for the patient's illness.

And... your problem with that is? You'd prefer that they don't approve those drugs? ... don't warn about potential side effect? ... claim falsely that they're guaranteed to work??

So allow those doctors with cures or treatments to have clinical trials to prove them. Drug companies aren't the only ones that can come up with new drugs.

That is very good and beautiful. Meanwhile, Big Pharma has helped cause many thousands of deaths, due to people overdosing on opioids.

The people who do that have no personal responsibility?

Of course they did. But they quite absolutely refused to take responsibility for their very own lives. Of course, the drug companies didn't care much about their situation, except for the profit in getting huge amounts of opioids sold to such people. I'll have no further comment on this since it's not related to the subject of the thread.

As far as I know, no one is prevented from doing a clinical trial. They are sometimes initiated by doctors.

It's a scam for everyone.

Randomized, double blinded prospective studies have shown NO BENEFIT to organics- NONE.

The problem is that you either don't believe in, or do not understand, science and are thus wed to anecdotes.

Your "Mayo clinic article" is not a publication! It is an opinion. Are "organic foods" safe? Yes. Do they add any health related benefits? No. Are they more expensive? Yes. You have been duped by advertising.
