Selected passages from the FDA letter
Quoted FDA text from the published dataset. These selected excerpts are not the complete letter.
Passage 1The claims on your websites, www.icahealth.com, www.drwilsons.com, and www.adrenalfatigue.org establish these products are drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C.§ 321(g)(1)(B)] because they are intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
Passage 2Your Dr. Wilson’s Good Sugar, Dr. Wilson’s Cortisol Stress Reset, Dr. Wilson’s BFF, and Dr. Wilson’s Nat-Stim products are intended for treatment of one or more diseases that are not amenable to self-diagnosis or treatment without the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Therefore, it is impossible to write adequate directions for a layperson to use your products safely for their intended purposes. Accordingly, Dr. Wilson’s Good Sugar, Dr. Wilson’s Cortisol Stress Reset, Dr. Wilson’s BFF, and Dr. Wilson’s Nat-Stim fail to bear adequate directions for their intended use and, therefore, the products are misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1)].
