I am in agreement with Frankie. One of the latest attacks launched by the FDA is Bioidentical hormones. Who's complaining? Why big Pharma of course. It's cutting into the horses urine they've been selling for years as hormone replacement.
If the FDA truely wanted to represent the people's wishes they would order labeling for GMO's and hormone laden milk, etc. etc. Peoples wishes and safety has little to do with it unless its such an outrageous violation that it gets mass publicity and people quit buying the products. Ode, you seem to think it's okay for big Pharma to limit alt med. but not okay for alt med to fight back. Double standards. Pharma gets to attack anyone and everyone that offers the least competition and that seems okay with you.
