Dietary supplements are a $20 billion industry.  If coumadin in
helpful or useful, someone will put it into a pill and you'll be able
to buy it.  How about you?  Sounds like a million dollar idea.

A better example would be stevia:

Why are we using Sucralose and Splenda when we've got stevia?  Sugar
industry.  This is where the gov't should be protecting the market
rather than an industry who has big $$$ lobbyists.

The problem isn't the corporations, it's the government.
