Those of you who have been trying to purchase MucosaHeal have seen that there’s an Out of Stock notice on the website:
This is not actually true as the product is not ‘out of stock’, it is actually being held up by the FDA. After thoroughly investigating the product, they have decided that the product is okay, the label is okay, but they don’t like the “claims” being made on the website. Hence, they have refused the product entry into the US. MucosaHeal is currently manufactured in Canada and shipped down to our warehouse in the States – thus the FDA has stopped it at the border and now refuses it entry.
Elasticman Guidelines
When we asked them for guidelines about what we needed to change on our website, they would not give us any specifics. When we said, “Okay, so if we completely change the website so it says nothing about the product, will you let it through the border?” and they said, “We can’t comment.”
And this is one of the major problems with the FDA – after talking to a few manufacturers who have already been through this “harassment” process, I’m convinced that the FDA itself doesn’t even know what it’s guidelines are. In fact, it seems to be a case of whichever agent you get and whatever mood he’s in that day combined with whatever machinations are going on behind the scenes.
It seems to me the only reliable FDA regulation is: Whoever’s paying us the most money gets their way.
Which leads me to wonder: Did someone tip the FDA off about my products, because why MucosaHeal? Honestly, we sell such miniscule amounts compared to other natural health products – it’s not even retail for pete’s sake. We must sell .0001% of what any other product would sell.
No Longer Under The Radar
I must admit, I got an email from a reader who told her GI about me, but the GI had already heard of me. That worried me a bit – I mean, I’ve never heard of this gastroenterologist, but she immediately knew who I was. Then we have the gastroenterology department at the University of Chicago who have been recommending my products and are very enthused about my work. This is all great, because it means that more people are becoming aware that there are treatment alternatives…
But at the same time, it’s worrying because it means that myself and my work are no longer “under the radar”. If the whole premise for my work is natural healing, so you no longer need drugs or surgery… do you think Big Pharma is going to be happy about that?
Pharmaceuticals are losing massive amounts of money to natural healthcare and no, I do not think they will just fade “quietly into that good night”. If you look at the cost of Remicade, Imuran and even some of the other “lifetime” drugs for colitis and Crohn’s – even losing a few customers is a not-insignificant chunk of revenue.
Or maybe I’m just being paranoid….
Maybe it was just a random stop at the border…
Either way, I’m not taking chances with people’s health. One woman phoned up desperate to know when she could get more MucosaHeal for her daughter: “It’s the only thing keeping her out of the hospital!” I have another reader who has eaten nothing but Absorb Plus for the last 2 years – he cannot eat anything else and would be dead without it. These are just two examples out of thousands.
So, no, I’m not going to go head-to-head with the FDA – cause guess who would win? I’m going to follow more of an “oriental” strategy to just kind of keep quietly doing what I do and getting it into the hands of people who need it. I’m not going tell you (or in any way make public) my strategy – just that old paranoia again – but please believe that I am doing everything I can to wriggle my way out of this and whatever else Big Pharma and the FDA have planned for me (and you!).
You Can Fight the FDA
BUT, what can you do? Ah, you on the other hand, can go as public and as loud-mouthed as you want. And indeed, as many leaders in healthcare have been advocating, that is the ONLY way the FDA Vampire is going to be stopped.
Write to the FDA and let them know that as a citizen of these United States, you demand the freedom to choose natural health care options.
One thing to be aware of, though, before you write to the FDA: Starting last year, the agency made it much more difficult for citizens to contact them, by eliminating the ability to communicate with them via e-mail. As of now, there are only two ways to contact the FDA — by fax or by a letter sent through the postal system. Apparently, e- mail isn’t “FDA-approved.”
But the Alliance for Natural Health has found a way around this roadblock. They’ve made it possible for you to directly contact the FDA through their website’s “alert” feature. Letters written using this feature are faxed directly to the FDA Commissioner, Andrew von Eschenbach. And, even better, copies of your letters to the FDA are also simultaneously sent to your state senators and representatives. Think of it as “one stop shopping” for making your voice heard.

Canada Health Freedom
If you live in Canada, we have a similar problem happening now and you need to get moving to protect natural supplements before 75% of what is currently on our shelves is banned.
If we can get 3 million signatures, we can bring the protective Charter for Health Freedom into legislation.
Please join with me in getting this petition signed to change the legislation. Simply download the petition from here:
http://www.charterofhealthfreedom.org/index.php?/national-petition
If you want the full details on the new legislation we’re trying to pass, it’s here:

Europe
If you’re in Europe, each country will do doubt have it’s own Healthcare Freedom advocacy organization – find out what it is and get involved. A good centralized one is the Alliance for Natural Health – Europe and they have many ways you can get involved – at the very least, get on their newsletter so you know what’s going on.
Don’t wait until it’s too late! You HAVE to get active and involved because there are HUGE amounts of money being funneled out to politicians and health regulatory agencies to block people from natural healthcare. Always follow the money… Big Pharma is losing LOTS of money and they are not going to just give up. If every one of us doesn’t get involved, we are going to be trapped in a never-ending cycle of drugs and ill health (which earns Big Pharma lots of money) because we no longer have access to natural supplements to heal and free ourselves.

I have been using Musosa Heal for the past several years with my Crohn’s Disease. It’s a wonderful product. I actually use it in combination with my drugs (that I’m constantly working to wean myself from). I do hope that I’m able to receive my Mucosa Heal very soon. It really has had a positive impact on my health and my life. Thank you.
Jini ~ This is terrible news! When I had my last flare, a combination of MucosaHeal, Absorb Plus, aloe and probiotics incredibly changed my life and quality of living. In has been five years since I used any pharmacy products and 2 since my last GI prob of any kind. Thanks to your sound advice and excellent products. I was just telling my husband a few days ago I wanted to order some MucosaHeal as maintenance as we’re going to the busy season of our work — and now I see this news! Hopefully you can get it all sorted out soon and I, too, can get more MucosaHeal. We wish you great success in getting this and all your products thru the border inspection.
I am so upset and outraged at the news regarding MucosaHeal! The FDA really hasn’t a CLUE what they are doing. Do they realize that they are putting peoples’ lives at stake all because of money??? MucosaHeal is a product that I consider to be a HUGE factor in me getting well. I started taking it a year ago when I was literally on my deathbed and today I have healed so much that I can almost say I feel “normal” again! Shame on them.
I was just about to order a bunch more- I’m down to my last bottle. I was planning to finally start weaning off my 6MP starting October- I feel so good. Now I will have to ration that last bottle if I decide to keep the same plan. Please do notify me as soon as MucosaHeal becomes available!
My heartfelt thanks goes out to Jini for all of her hard work and devotion to us. You have saved lives! I think your “Eastern” approach in dealing with this situation is a good way to handle things and I will pray the whole thing gets sorted out soon and that they leave you alone! I, in the meantime will be writing letters to the FDA and my congressman.
Good news: we should have some MucosaHeal ready for shipment by mid-November!
Plus, we’ve implemented a strategy that should avoid FDA problems for the foreseeable future.
Sorry I can’t explain more fully, but ya never know, they might be reading this blog!
In light of what has been going on with the shipments, my daughter has cut down from 9 capsules a day to 4 to try to make them last. The last three days she has become symtomatic and we can’t wait until mid November for a shipment. Is there anybody out there who has some Mucosaheal that they are not using at the moment? We would be happy to pay you top dollar for them. It took us a year to get her well and at this rate, she’ll be back in the hospital and starting all over again if we can’t get her stable! Please reply to phyllissrosas@comcast if you can help us.
Thank you and God Bless
Hi Phylliss, I will get my husband Ian to email you as I believe we have some stock here in Canada that he could send out to you – since you don’t mind extra shipping and customs fees. I’m sure he can sort something out for you. Hang in there!
Also, in the meantime, if you have any George’s Aloe Vera, bump her up to 1/2 cup, 3x/day (on empty stomach) and that should help.
Jini
Thank you Jini & Danielle for the personal reply. I haven’t received email yet from Ian or Danielle to acquire Mucosaheal that you have in stock. Please reply with link so I can order ASAP. Down to In the meantime, we have started the George’s Aloe Vera.
Thank you!
Phylliss Rosas
I am using this Mucosa heal for over 1 and 1/2 years. I got flare up again 1 week back..I was using sparingly 1, since I heard this news. This is my life saver. I don’t want to go steroids again. Can you please suggest alternatives?
Hi Kashyap,
In the meantime you can use:
L-glutamine
N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG)
George’s Aloe Vera
You can take all 3 together 3x/day and all are available at the Holistic Health Shoppe:

take care,
Jini
Geez, either the FDA thinks it’s the FBI or George Bush has some friends who own large pharmaceuticals. Anyway, I hope you have sorted it out for the time being as it sounds like so many people benefit from this product. It is amazing. Way to go Jini!!
You have a few broken links on this page. Contact me and I will be happy to point them out to you!
Cheers!
Hi Tomas,
Thanks so much for pointing that out! Sometimes people or organizations change their URLs slightly over the course of 5+ years, unfortunately. If you have valid links for these and you would like to share them, we would really appreciate it.

Sorry Justin! I don’t have valid links for neither the American Association for Health Freedom nor Charter of Health Freedom.
