This is no fun to write.
A toxic compound, known as NDMA, that doesn’t belong anywhere near medicine, was first discovered in 3 popular blood pressure medications (valsartan, irbesartan and losartan) in 2018. The FDA issued an alert and wrote a complaint letter to the raw materials supplier to Big Pharma companies.
It turns out the medications follow the very common pattern of being made with raw ingredients coming from China. They are then sold by the big companies for obscenely high prices to U.S. consumers. (source)
More recently, NDMA contamination provoked a nationwide recall of the popular heartburn medication Zantac and all its generic versions.
And then metformin, one of the world’s most widely prescribed drugs, used to treat and prevent Type 2 diabetes and PCOS, manage antipsychotic-induced weight gain, and treat gestational diabetes and female infertility, was found to be contaminated with NDMA!
I am going to assume many people still have no idea, therefore this is my PSA.
Approved by the FDA in 1994 under the brand name Glucophage, metformin is now sold under several brand names (source), including:
• Fortamet
• Glucophage XR
• Glumetza
• Riomet
Numerous drug makers also market generic versions of metformin in the United States.
NDMA Is Deadly in Tiny Amounts
NDMA was once used in the commercial production of rocket fuel. After animal testing demonstrated exposure to it significantly increases the risk of cancer, the chemical is now only used for research purposes.
And it’s one of the world’s most potent carcinogens. Our livers produce an enzyme that converts NDMA to methyl-diazonium that then leads to O6-methylguanine, both of which alter the methylation process at the cellular level, that is a cancer turbocharger. (source)
In the lab, NDMA is used to cause cancer in rodents for oncology studies. The FDA’s “acceptable” amount is 96 nanograms (ng) and consuming anything over 0.001 milligrams per day is potentially toxic to humans. One contaminated valsartan pill contains as much as 0.020 milligrams of NDMA – nearly 20 times greater than levels considered safe to consume. (source)
It’s important to remember these are drugs taken EVERY DAY in addition to potential exposure from the environment and nitrite-preserved foods such as hot dogs, cured meat, malt beverages and salami — which, according to the University of Illinois Chicago, sometimes have “higher concentrations” of NDMA.
The FDA did not stop distribution of the drug. Instead, they suggested that patients continue their prescriptions “until their pharmacist provides a replacement or their doctor prescribes a different medication.” (source)
With the failed system, I wonder how many patients were ever helped to find an alternative?
“Meanwhile, U.S. patients have been taking NDMA-contaminated valsartan pills for six years. European health regulators estimate that one out of 3,390 people could develop cancer from taking these drugs. Lawyers have received hundreds of claims that patients who took valsartan between 2015 and 2018 developed cancer of the stomach, liver, colon, small intestine, esophagus, and kidney.” (source)

A Conflict With China Could Threaten Medication Supply Chain
Mike Osterholm from the University of Minnesota is an expert in biosecurity. He commented on the vast number of medications manufactured in China:
“It’s a major national security risk for us in two ways. We are very concerned about the quality of these drugs. If we were ever in an international incident with China, they would literally have their hands around our necks in terms of critical drugs. They wouldn’t even have to fire a shot.”
This alone may make you want to do what it takes to get off all medications. It is not as hard as you have been made to believe by Big Pharma. START with your blood pressure, here.
You Can Counteract Type 2 Diabetes, Even With a Family History
Developing diabetes often carries with it an increased potential risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and dementia (sometimes called Type 3 diabetes).
Your risk of diabetes rises with: increasing weight, lack of activity and high carbohydrate intake that increases insulin resistance.
In some instances, your risk for getting diabetes goes up when you use medications, such as statins. (There are many good reasons to avoid statins.)
Dr. Berg clearly shows the way to STOP prediabetics from becoming diabetic. 9 minutes.

Do you have any information about the Shingrix vaccines? My rheumatologist is very concerned that I get these. I had the older vaccine over 5 years ago and about a year later had a small case of shingles, caught it early and got on anti-viral drugs that cleared them up quickly with no pain involved. I am on a JAK drug, the only thing that has truly helped with pain (and ability to do my ADLs) from RA. I’ve had RA for 26 years and only done drugs for the past 6-7 years when nothing else worked. I am blessed to have these drugs given to me by a drug company, and they are made in Israel. For many years, I chose to do no drugs, trying many natural means. Eventually, the erosion and pain led my GP referring me to a rheumatologist who herself has RA. This JAK drug does suppress my immune system, and I had COVID 19 very early (July 2020), probably because of the immune supressing drug.I would appreciate any information you can share about the Shingrix. Blessings . . .

Vickie, I have to be honest, I am not a fan of the shingles vaccine(s), either of them, because they actually increase your chances of getting shingles.
I wrote this post about my shingles case: https://deeprootsathome.com/are-we-in-a-shingles-epidemic/
I would use a nosode. I am actually getting ready to do another preventative dose of my shingles nosode. I explain it in the post, and recommend when you order, you ask about the dosage for your situation.
A shingles nosode is similar to an allopathic vaccination, but without the thiomersal, aluminum hydroxide, MSG, gelatins, etc. found in immunizations. Nosodes have been used throughout homeopathy’s history and are recognized in all homeopathic pharmacopoeias throughout the world. (source)
I believe it would raise your inflammation higher make your RA worse.
Did you know about this warning on a JAK drug? I hope this is not the one you are on: https://www.fda.gov/safety/medical-product-safety-information/janus-kinase-jak-inhibitors-drug-safety-communication-fda-requires-warnings-about-increased-risk
If you are interested, to know another route to help your issues, email me at [email protected] and I have some suggestions for you to consider. RA is almost always auto-immune and driven by a root cause that many don’t understand. By addressing the root cause, we see lowered inflammation, much less pain, lees risk of cancer by contaminated drugs, and I could go on and on.
I hope that helps you, and willing to offer some suggestions tailored for you.
Sending peace,
Jacque

I went cold turkey off of metformin, statin, and bp meds last year. I got into herbs and teas, even the ivermectin paste. Now, my blood sugar isn’t perfectly managed, it goes up and down, but I do it with herbs instead of metformin and the weekly shots. I’ve had to drastically change diet, but it seems ivermectin helps with appetite control and desire for carbs/sweets, and I’ve been researching for a year different herbs that work with what, and what combinations to try in homemade capsules and teas. The rebound effect off of the bp and metformin was rough for a bit, but worth it. I now take fresh broccoli and cauliflower and carrots and such to work in my cooler (railroad driver here), and have access to a coffee bar in the depot with constant hot water for teas, fresh coffee, etc. I’ve spent lots of money on herbs and so on, but it’s worth it. Metformin was like $5 a month, my herbs cost way more…but I’m not killing myself now with those meds. My hubby, an RN, uses bp meds, statins, metformin, insulin, etc, and thinks I”m nuts. But, I continue on.
