War on Health
Gary Null's film argues that the FDA operates less as a public health regulator and more as an enforcement arm for pharmaceutical and agribusiness interests, tracing the agency's history of raids on vitamin shops, restrictions on raw milk, and crackdowns on alternative practitioners. The film builds its case through interviews with doctors, nutritionists, and natural-health advocates who describe losing licenses or facing prosecution for treatments outside conventional medicine. It spends significant time on Codex Alimentarius, the international food standards body, and the claim that its guidelines on supplement dosages are being used to limit access to vitamins and minerals worldwide. Historical cases of banned substances and suppressed cures are presented alongside industry lobbying records and FDA enforcement statistics to support the argument that profit motives, not safety, drive regulatory decisions. The film's thesis is that a coordinated agenda favors pharmaceutical drugs over cheaper natural remedies, and it asks viewers to weigh whose interests food and drug regulation actually serves.
