Trump is promising big changes at the FDA here's how drugs are approved today

At least one of President Trump's possible picks to head the Food and Drug Administration has a radical idea for when drugs should come to market.

Jim O'Neill, managing director at Mithril Capital, has said that he is in favor of approving drugs that are proven to be safe, even before they're shown to be actually effective.

Regardless of who Trump picks in the end, his interest in cutting regulation at the FDA is clear.

"We're going to be cutting regulations at a level that nobody's ever seen before," Trump said in a meeting with pharma executives on January 31. He estimated up to 80% of regulations will be slashed.

Just what we need. Medications that don't work, but that are "safe." The possibilities are endless.

Curitol - New Cancer Treatment Drug
No side effects. Might work, or might not. Ask your doctor to prescribe it for you today.
