RE: New member and wondering about armour

[Guest guest]

Armour is not a supplement--it is a medicine!

I order cortef from overseas. it never has supplement written on it!

Gracia

as long as the company writes supplements on the custom packaging- US customs

will allow them in. It is NOT illegal to import " supplements " into the US, but

it IS illegal to import medications into the US.

when I was getting my armour from overseas; they wrote that they were

supplements on the custom packaging and I never had a problem, not once.

why order supplements form overseas? LOL

it is one thing we do pretty well in USA.

Gracia

not if it says supplements. I can't find my custom paperwork but it does state

on it if they are supplements- then they are allowed in. but if they are written

and sold ad prescription medications- they will not be allowed in.

you don't get it- in order to get armour through customs and by the DEA- the

company writes supplements on the paperwork- that way it clears customs.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't...depends on what it is and

where it arrives. Chicago customs is usually quite harsh...and others

aren't as much.

in was " Medical " .

[Guest guest]

they can, but it is less likely. there is a policy at customs that was dictated

by the DEA that they screen any parcel that says medications or prescriptions

first- then supplements last. since they have a limited supple of agents and

much bigger and more important things to check like cargo tankers and containers

to search- supplements usually are allowed to slip by.....

all I know is that the place I have bought from- I have never gotten it seized

and people I know that buy from there also have not gotten their " supplements "

seized..

I think I read that it was illegal to import drugs from another country. That

way they

can rape the American patients to their hearts content.

We pay more for drugs than any other country in the world, because that is the

way

it is set up.

I do not totally share your world view, but I agree that pharmaceutical

companies exist to earn money, just like any other company. The best

way for them to do that is to produce effective medications; as people

are more will in to pay for cures than continued ill health. I consider

it in the best self interests of the pharmaceutical companies to produce

cures; while you do not.

The only abbreviations I used in that post was MOL, which means " More

Shucks. I always assumed that your [ggg] meant giggle.

It looks like a giggle. Whenever I read your posts, I

always had such a colorful image of you at your

computer giggling yourself out of your chair. Now

what am I going to envision?

Actually, I think your explanation is more accurate than mine.

BTW, my apologies for all the links on my previous post. I thought if I

sent it as plain text the html wouldn't show up. Guess I was wrong...

is recycling old posts again.

but, I will comment anyways. of course they can search them- it is just that

they don't have ENOUGH agents, so they concentrate on the big items- like cargo

containers, ships, etc. if the package says medicine written on it- then that is

an automatic RED flag and it will be searched. if it says Supplements on it- the

odds are greater that it won't be searched. because supplements are NOT illegal

to import- but Prescription Medicine is.

Re: New member and wondering about armour

it is not illegal to import a three months supply. that's what I do with

cortef.

Gracia

I think I read that it was illegal to import drugs from another country. That

way they

can rape the American patients to their hearts content.

We pay more for drugs than any other country in the world, because that is the

way

it is set up.

Oh yes, I understand that completely. However, IMHO, if I don't have to put

myself in

harms way by doing something illegal, I won't.
