Drugstores sell useful medicines that are not endorsed by FDA however popular among people. One Russian blogger visited the factory which makes such medicines. How are they made? Very simple. They take ordinary stumps (they remain after deforestation and are absolutely unneeded but still not thrown away) and apparatuses resembling moonshine stills. These stumps are cut into pieces and placed into those apparatuses to be converted into very useful powder which becomes a must have thanks to some marketing manipulations.
They make them from Siberian pine.
The stumps are cut into pieces.
After converting into sawdust they come here for processing.
“Feed additive Ecostimul-1″ – for farm animals and poultry.
Next time buying your miraclious biologically active additives be sure they were not made from a birch stump.
At least it’s not “Pink Slime”
If you slap enough marketing into cow feces people will buy it.
Pine Tar Salve. Used for millenia as a topical anti-bacterial ointment, worst side effect, you smell like the inside of a meat smokehouse if you apply too much.
Don’t worry, the FDA will be digging a hole in the ground soon to bury itself when ALL the current antibiotics have evolved most bacteria to view it as a food source.
There are strains of MRSA and Tuberculosis that are only eradicated by one or two remaining antibiotics that require the same care as some of the worst chemotherapy. It’s a fine margin between killing the infection and the patient.
The wood powder is the waste material after turpentine, rosin and pine tar are extracted from the pine sawdust. Which is what the distilling is for.
Oh wow. Are you sure the FDA will not approve this? Because all methanol produced from the wood. It has a name “wood alcohol”. And the methanol is the core component in thousands chemical compounds. Doh
Better to use the European Food Safety Authority, because FDA is completely corrupted and allows additives in everything. (Although EU did not seem to stop Poles from adding horse to their “beef”.)
I knew it! They have been putting sawdust into the bread!!
I just read an article about a company in the US called SWAT something, connected to big time pro sports players. Amazing they’re falling for, and buying that garbage too. “Holographic stickers” that are supposed to intercept and convert cell phone signals to give you more power. Good grief!
FDA does approve the use of wood in food. It is used as a filler in all kinds of products and usually referred to as the ingredient name “cellulose fiber”.
