Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 I read up on this and it seems that this was a cause of concern back in 2000. I have one of the medicines listed here on my desk that I bought about 6 to 8 months ago and it does not have the ingrediant in it. So hopefully these companies have removed it from all the medications listed.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 If i was addicted to using these quickie solutions for stomach pains, colds I probably wouldn't change because of the presence of an amine or a phenol. Links to disease are one thing, but drugs act on so many neurological, endocrinal, lymphomatic, immunological levels, that it's hard to say what side effects can be created. But yeah, probably not a good thing if the FDA says so. I'm sure they knew all along about the links, but decided to wait until the drug companies could come up witha better alterntive option after the info. would " leak out. " Just wait, the " alternatives " to these products will probably be manufactured or at least co-owned by the same companies perpetrating this chemical additive. The BTD is a nice homeopathic alternative to the " battle against disease " strategy. You leearn to set up a healthy host so that bacteria and viruses will be able to COEXIST with you rather than damagin you.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hello, I am Sharon not Sandy..My mistake as I forwarded this message from Sandy to everyone here and I forgot to remove her name..My Bad..Sorry.. For the answer to your question though..No it didn't list any info about lot numbers or anything else.I plan to not eat any pb crackers until I hear more info about this.My local news did cover this topic as well but listed no further info either.It is sad that people have died.Hopefully more info will be annouced soon so others don't die. Sorry for the confusion but felt the info was worth passing on.
