Do we need an FDA to SWAT team companies that claim "this cures cancer"?

Because, history (from the 80s, 90s and 2000s) proves without a doubt that any company that says "This cures cancer" will guarantee your company will get SWAT Teamed and raided under orders from the FDA.

 

Without the FDA doing this, would chaos breakout?  Would people be dying in the streets?  Would people be defrauded out of millions, no wait, Billions of dollars? 

Would snakeoil salesmen be the top grossing profession in this country?

Would grocery stores break down and stop selling groceries and start selling snakeoil salesmen products?

alternative health is a topic libertarians could be holding up as more evidence of how corrupt our government is.  Instead most libertarians attack the alternative health profesionals and buy into the snakeoil salesmen arguments.

I hate this "cancer cure" bullshit that only shows total ignorance about what a cancer is.

First and most obvious, cancer can happen in very different organs, one can't expect that treating prostate cancer would be the same as lung or brain cancer.

Second, cancer is a genetic mutation, so every person is a different case, one may be more able to resist than other. Remember that many diseases that already have a cure can kill depending on how fragile the organism is, how cold is the weather...

Third, cancer tends to develop over  a relatively long period of time, if found early, the chances of cure are high! My grandmother had cancer, found it early and she is cured.

So if someone hopes that there is a philosophal stone that can cure every kind of cancer even if already spread thru all body, this person is an idiot.

That's probably some of the most ignorant commentary on anything medicine related I've ever heard.

So, do we need the FDA or USDA to SWAT team them and steal their property?  That doesn't seem idiotic?
