Supplement Pills With A Kick
The pills that Dr. Larry was creating and selling, promised insomniacs a great night’s sleep with an all-natural blend of ingredients such as fig-wort root and licorice.
Then, earlier this summer, these particular pills happened to get tested in a lab by regulators from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This was out of an estimated 85,000 supplement products on the market. The tests showed that Tranquility was spiked with two powerful prescription drugs: an anti-psychotic medication best known as Thorazine and the anti-depressant and sleep medication called Doxepin.
Research showed that Larry LeGunn is a convicted criminal and not a licensed doctor. He is a former chiropractor who had to give up his Florida License in 2010 after being charged with grand theft and insurance fraud relating to his treatment of auto accident victims.

[/one_fourth][three_fourth_last]Investigations have found that a wide array of dietary supplement companies caught with drug-spiked products are run by people with criminal backgrounds and regulatory run-ins. Consumers that are buying products from these firms are in some cases entrusting their safety and health to people with criminal backgrounds.
Some have a history with:
- Barbiturates
- Crack cocaine
- Ecstasy
- Fraud
- Theft
- Assault
- Weapons offenses
- Money laundering
There are likely many more supplement company executives with criminal records. The FDA’s tainted-supplement database lists 123 companies that have been caught selling about 460 spiked products in the past six years.
Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, the FDA must show that a product is unsafe before it can take any action to restrict its use or seek its removal from the market. Pretty much anyone is allowed to go out and make a supplement and basically sell it until the FDA comes knocking at your door.
