This is the part I love - the US Govt will sanction new drugs that have to be recalled, but are trying to regulate vitamins:

justsaynoemore, if the government (FDA) did not fight against chiropractic care and alternatives like they do -- they are afraid they will loose money. The pharmaceutical industry is now a billion dollar industry -- healthcare has completely changed since the doctors decided to intercourse with these people. They are running neck and neck with the agricultural industry especially since food products are now being made with GMO (genetically modified Organisms) to make more medicines for sick people. Of course they are making people sick... They almost remind me of the robber barons -- How they got rich! Hi Cathy - I have mentioned before how I was put on Zopiclone for sleeping because of depression and lack of sleep for pain and am tapering off by using diazepam - that is the method generally used to get off benzos. It has been nothing short of hell. I recently read a book called Benzo Junkies by Beatrice Faust and she mentions a large shareholder in the pharmaceutical co. that makes them is none other than your president himself. There are many benzos used by RA patients and Klonopin is a common one. Diazepam is also known as Valium and is extremely addictive - max. time for being on it varies between 2 - 4 weeks - I have been on it 7 years. Where I live they are trying to regulate vitamins and alternative medicines which have caused no deaths in this part of the world.....go figure.
