This is starting to piss me off. I'm going to write letters to my Congressmen about this.
See the thread: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20090104/msgs/872214.html
Meanwhile, I just read in the NY Times today of the glucoma eye medication being used for cosmetic purposes--to thicken eyelashes. So potent and sometimes life-threatening medications and procecedures are permitted for vanity--lipsuction, breast implants, botox injections, and I'm sure you can think of many more, but those who need these cheap, old, and effective drugs continue to be ostracized. Meanwhile, we spend millions trying to prevent people from using plants that can be grown in one's backyard.
I read that Stevia--a sugar plant used as a sweetner--was previously banned in the US-and is still illegal in some countries!!
As I've said before, the insane ones are NOT the mentally ill.
