Re: Fw: FDA Requires New Safety Measures for Oral Sodium Phosphate Products to Reduce Risk of Acute Kidney Injury

[Guest guest]

O my god,

The Holy Grail of drugs, the FDA. it makes a decision, it must be right.

Just like releasing Vioxx-type drugs on the market, and then taking

them off for their adverse, sometimes deadly, side-effects. That was

entirely within the FDA'S scope of powers. And look at the consequences.

We must realize that we cannot live without the FDA. It is our

governmental mother, who will tell us what is good and bad. Its

decisions are beyond reproach. We must not question. We must obey.

They tax, and we must pay.

And if the going gets tough, bring in the DEA with its invincible

police powers to enforce things. They're not accountable to anyone.

That makes you feel really safe, doesn't it?

I feel so much better about the FDA requiring " safety measures " for

oral sodium products. Without their diligence, we American citizens

would be awash in horribly tainted substances.

And folks, with them, we HAVE a corrupt system of

pharmacology-totalitarianism.

routinely take OSP products to cleanse the bowel before a colonoscopy

(colon examination) and other medical procedures.
