FDA Sharing Patients’ Private Medical Records in Order to Harass Integrative Doctors

It appears that the FDA is working with state medical boards behind the scenes -- sometimes in violation of the law. Professional medical boards are launching investigative actions against integrative physicians not because of patient complaints, but because of materials forwarded to them by the FDA before they are made public. These boards are treating the FDA documents as if they were formal complaints. In other words, the US Food and Drug Administration, which is barred from interfering with the practice of medicine, is in fact deliberately but secretly ignoring the rules -- something practitioners and consumers alike need to be warned about.
