![Johnny Harris: Your Supplements are a Lie [Fact Checked]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/x62GLHs3Hi4/mqdefault.jpg)
The fed isn't looking to ban supplements, just require vendors to make honest claims about them.
Why are you so eager to protect the right of pill makers to lie to you about what their products can do?
As a direct result of these ad campaigns the regulations around Dietary Supplements and Herbals are incredibly loose.
Like you can put literally anything on the shelf, and it's up to the government to prove its fraudulent or otherwise problematic to get it removed.
As opposed to OTC products, which must prove they aren't bullshit to be put on the shelf in the first place.
This is a good thing. Thank you Mel Gibson for keeping the supplement market free.
and the FDA doesnt say you cant take vitamins.they are saying that companies or doctors cant make claims that cant be backed up and are used to commit fraudulent activities.and you remember that you didnt want the federal government involved the next time someone poisons asprin.
Who has their kitchen on the second floor ???
Randy Leifer I think its more common in large american houses. Also where i live in the UK some large expensive houses have two kitchens, although the one upstairs is usually smaller.
+crimson177 I've never seen a kitchen on the second floor in the US, no matter how large the house... But that's not a house, that's a compound and masion... they have different standards.
Neither have I. The only thing I can think of are split-levels, but that's not really a second floor.

People have died because of unregulated "supplements" and snake oil bullshit. Thanks Mel.
+Ardakapalasan It's people's responsibility of what they put in their body not a government.
+Ardakapalasan That's "talking points" crap - Thousands of people die every year using commercial pharmeceuticals as prescribed. Thousands more suffer organ damage, and then there's all of the wonderful side effects you hear in all those "Ask your doctor if this expensive-ass drug is right for you" ads. Don't even try to compare the dangers of pharmeceutical drugs with supplements.
+SarionFetecuse And people still have that right. The FDA isn't trying to prevent what people put in their bodies. They are trying to prevent snake oil from being sold with unsubstantiated claims. It should NOT be legal to sell vitamin C with a label saying it is a cure for cancer. Doesn't mean you can't take vitamin C. They are just trying to prevent the sale of it with dubious claims. That's all. Take off the tin foil hat and enjoy life. Nobody's hiding under your bed. Nobody's trying to put computer chips in your brain.
Also, being unregulated, it's been found that most supplements you purchase have very little of the intended ingredient. Regulating it will insure you are getting what you paid for.

And what of the various supplements that have been tested and found to not actually include what's advertised?
ironballs16 Fraud in commerce is everywhere. It's not the supplement's fault, it's the companies selling fraudulent supplements. Do your homework on your brands and suppliers, and it's not a problem.
and any person,industry whatever,that makes claims like "this cures whatever" should be closely looked at by the government.and funny the last "Medical Journals" i read said nothing about vitamins curing anything.if that were true dont you think doctors all over the world would be prescribing vitamins as opposed to drugs,antibiotics,antivirals,and the like.
that's the early 1990s for you, big business brazenly making these ads shown on TV...
it's not about big business, it's about your right to ingest whatever supplement you want. Why the fuck would you want big pharma and the FDA to destroy the supplement industry? Honestly, fuck you.
someone's on too many supplements...
@@bd9267 of course you have the right to take what you want, but that doesn't mean they should have the right to lie about what they're giving you.
What is the name of its homepage..where can I protest.....?????
I am speechless....
That was Benjamin Bratt at like :17 right
Yeah.
Free the weed while your at it.
dammit riggs
Dammit John Oliver
This is glorious
holy shit
23 years ago, the raid scene was nonsensical and the message was taken seriously.
Now, the raid scene is taken seriously, and the message is nonsensical.
That's the power of time for 'ya.
the raid scene is taken seriously only by children like you who watched too much tv
seven agents don like the video
Agenda or hatred, 90210?
No news here, however, it is good to see that celebrities are waking up and starting to speak up.
Way to go Mel!
Ron Paul 2008!

Most celebs do speak up but for the wrong side..Mel is speaking for us all ,God bless Him!
STARTING to speak up? This was from 1985 sir.
@@BenBenCaro Yeah, 40 years late and he was paid for doing this ad lol
Michael - Some facts:
1) Your father, Patrick Mooney, did not write the Mel Gibson "Raid" PSA. I did.
2) It was not created by "dozens of entertainment industry folk". I wrote it, produced it and directed it with my own money that I advanced, therefore, taking a risk on something that I believed in. No one helped me during pre-production, in which I secured all the crew, equipment and location; or the production and post-production stages.
3) However, your father, who's been a true gentleman working hard for the cause, tirelessly contacted people from the industry and over a period of two or three months was able to secure the funds to reimburse me for every dollar that I spent.
4) Also, I need to point out that your father was instrumental in helping to secure Mel Gibson, which is of prime importance. He also scripted other materials intended for Congress featuring James Coburn, Whoopi Goldberg and other talent. As importantly, he was instrumental in the initial distribution of the PSA, which as everyone knows, took a wild flight on its own.
Your father's help has always been greatly appreciated, every step of the way. I was going to let your comment ride, but I thought it was important to set the record straight. - Charles Ashira
thank you for setting the record straight, even though I do not approve of vitamin companies currently having no oversight this is a well done video,
Thank you for clearing up the details, Charles. While my Dad did conceive of a video and worked hard to make it happen, you did an amazing job of writing, directing and producing it. It was so powerful that Peter Jennings and Connie Chun ran it on their national TV news programs and that could well be why the largest letter-writing campaign to Congress in history got Congress to pass a law to stop FDA from making dietary supplements into prescription items. Kudos to you, again!
Michael Mooney So you guys' families are partially responsible for the multi-billion dollar fraud and hundreds if not thousands of deaths of innocent people bilked by the dangerous criminals you like to call 'health food advocates'.
And you're actually proud of the fact that they helped get congress to ensure 'dietary supplements' be prescription free?
Kudos, indeed. What a fucking sociopath.
So, you're actually proud of this dishonest campaign? I wonder if you're a sociopath, or just delusional.
Hey can you tell us more about making the commercial? Particularly, whose house is that, because it is niiiiiiiice.
they arent afraid of overdosing on vitamins. there is no real risk in taking them.they are concerned with manufacturers and sellers making unfounded claims to increase they're bottom line.lying to consumers to increase profits is illegal in america, it doesnt matter if it doesnt cause harm.
There's plenty of risk of overdosing on vitamins, I hate to tell you.
@@MrsPaul Nope.

Hell, it's even possible to drink too much water!
Also, certain vitamins can interfer with certain prescription meds. I found that out the hard way.
@@MrsPaul I'm much more willing to bank on vitamins than pharma. My best friend has suffered permanent damage from extremely dangerous pharmaceuticals that he should never have been prescribed in the first place and he's never been the same person since. I have absolutely despised the Big Pharma-controlled mainstream medical community since then and I will never trust them again.
@@maxwells9004 Doesn't mean that vitamins can't be dangerous too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doesn't the FDA have enough to do without worrying about vitamins and minerals. What's the real motivation behind this?
When is Mel Gibson going to come out for Ron Paul? Soon, I hope! Ron Paul 2008, Hope for America!
Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate running for president who has openly acknowledged this effort and has come out in opposition to it.

Well said. Plants are life. So many benefits to plant extracts! Very few people actually denying that...just looks like it when we don't talk to each other. Synthesized in a lab products that are often toxic and cause addictions and have patents so they are not accessible to the common person are not the only options. They have never been the only option. Plants helping the earth, the animals and humans for centuries! Love the silliness of this video...but actually it's not silly because it has been happening and has happened many times in the past. Nobody picks a fight when they don't feel threatened...that's key to remember.
Because people have never found anything toxic or dangerous in nature. Oleander, strychnine, nightshade, bubonic plague, black mambas, cancer, etc -- all those are found in nature and are so helpful and beneficial to mankind!
@@MrsPaul cancer? Like the pesticides and synthetic ingredients in the food everyone eats daily?
someone just got arrested for promoting vitamins as a treatment for you know what.....
This video is BS. Mel Gibson does not act like that around cops. Where was the misogyny and jew baiting? Where's the crazy yelling and resisting arrest? He doesn't even look drunk enough in this video!
now he does a movie called Rothchild, the guy knows whats right
I wish Mel Gibson was born in the United States and would run for President.I would vote for him.
First off, he WAS born in the US -- in NY. You don't have to necessarily be born in the U.S. to become president, provided you're born a U.S. citizen. THAT'S how it works. (Like, if your parents were on vacation say, in Europe, and you were born in Paris, you'd still be a US citizen and be able to run for prez)
@@MrsPaul You are correct when both of these comments were made but not when the ad was produced. If he had been born abroad then when this ad was released in the late 80s, he would have been considered a naturalized citizen and not a natural-born citizen, making him ineligible to run for presidential office.
Mel Gibson is welcomed by me! Go Mel! It is too bad some people can not look past the popular media (paid for by corporate interests), and properly analyse the situation without the pervasive influence of he same.
Oh, sure. Because none of those supplements are sold by big corporations, no siree!
oh and he rightly lost his license for profiteering off of sick people with treatments that are dubious at best.doctors are scientists,not juju men.and any doctor that uses questionable practices that cannot be proven clinically should be disbarred.
this messege isn't about mel gibson or his religious views it is about exposing another threat to our life, liberty & pursuit of happiness...
And being lied to by some company selling snake oil isn't threatening that either?
