Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Isn't it amazing how our highly educated and supposedly intelligent doctors won't prescribe something because " Its not FDA approved or no controlled trials have been done " when they continually " try " various medications and treatments upon their patients to see if the patient responds correctly. How many Doctors will " guarantee " that their Copaxone, betaserone, and other ABCR's will work as they say?
