“The most important part is good wound care...Antibiotics are probably not as important as we think... but we need larger studies to answer that question.” In this case, I'd support additional research. It seems vitally important to know how to avoid drug use.
I'm in no way trying to stifle research or innovation. I would like researchers to think - just a little - before they run out and investigate something that is fairly well understood. Nitroglycerin has been use for decades and it's effects are well know. I doesn't take a roomful of Ph.D.s to realize that increased blood flow could help rebuild tissue. It also doesn't take a lot of investigation to KNOW that side effects from nitroglycerin can be horrific.
Dr. Victor Marchione claims that "...those who drank diet soda daily were 61% more likely to have a heart event." The overall chance that you will have a heart attack is about 0.1% (1 in 1,000). A 61% increase in risk moves the odds to 1.61 in 1,000. How does that strike you?
Jenny Thompson explains how a common non-prescription DRUG darned near did her in. ALWAYS REMEMBER: ** There's Poison in Every Potion **
Carbon Dioxide is the dominant "greenhouse gas" . It comes out of all mammals when we exhale. We can help reduce those dastardly gases by not exhaling. It would also help if all mammals would leave earth - ASAP. Come to think of it, failing to exhale WILL cause mammals to leave earth - in the most permanent way.
Well, this is NO SURPRISE. I've been warning people about this for over a decade. I'm GLAD the FDA is taking action, but unhappy that they have taken so long. How much harms has been done while "they" deliberated? Like vaccines, neither the drug makers nor the government can be taken to court over these problems.
How do you feel about this? Do the current programs work? Are they cost effective? Are they duplicated in other programs? Will this decision help or hinder the drug issues in Illinois?

Compensation may still be available to injured parties. However, they cannot file lawsuits against the drug makers. To do otherwise would open the door for additional legal action against the FDA and, ultimately, the Federal Government. And, we can't have that, can we.
Inch by inch. Row by row. That's how the use of LDN will grow.
I am always glad when I read that a prominent doctor has an open mind. Dr. Weil does not directly advocate for LDN, but his published comments leave the door wide open. If YOUR doctor has question/concerns about LDN, he/she can contact me. I can help them help you.
I agree. Recall the old joke? If you treat a cold with antibiotics and drugs, you'll in 7 days. Otherwise, it will take a week.
How is this supposed to work? First, some bright medical folks tell us to take an aspirin every day. But, that causes internal bleeding - which MIGHT be a problem in the long haul. So, here is a story about some other geniuses offering a suggestion. TAKE ANOTHER DRUG (a PPI - Proton Pump Inhibitor) to "possibly" compensate for the negative effects of the first drug (the aspirin).
Package labeling for PPIs generally warn that the drug should be taken for no more that 2 weeks at a time. Is this suggested dual drug use more important than the approved package labeling? Are the PPI drugs made safer when they are used to prevent bleeding caused by aspirin? Is this just a joke? Does anybody really know what's going on?
The final answer in "today's medical world" is TAKE MORE DRUGS.
This happens often. One firmly held belief upended by some new evidence or a recent study. Makes one wonder if there's really anything we CAN believe - especially when it originates from our government..
