jonathon, what mlm, what? ingredient? curious. 0.1 ?
umm 1% is 1 in 100 0.1 is 1 in a 1,000.
i guess propolis?
and most folks with that allergy usually know,
which is a fair bit lower than some big pharmas hit rate..
vioxx killed a lot,( and maxtor Statins about 60,ooo) also a vioxx
alike is now having same issues, same company!
and still pushed to keep it on the market, and are retrying under
name Rosvustatin, Hows about the us senator that has ties to a pharma
(actually an awful lot of em do!) who seriously!! wants to add
statins to the entire usa water supply?? i kid you not!
after all it profits a company, and no one would have to cut the fat
salt sugar crap they eat...duh!
you want some really!! scary stories that ARE TRUE?? got to
www.newstarget.com read how big companies pay for the drug trails to
be approved...sometimes in as little as 12 weeks testing! and how
they hide, delete un palatable data. how much money they PAY the FDA
to approve a product.
also how a pharma company can take a natural product that has worked
fine as it is...they fiddle it to be a chemical copy! patent it and
sell at huuuuge profits to the public as a new breakthrough..sheesh!
did you read how vit A and E are supposed to be killing people? well,
ask, were the massively over the top dosages they gave, a natural? no
they weren,t !! they were SYNTHETIC!!
and no one with a mind should accept any mega dosage as acceptable,
if you could,nt eat that volume without a side effect in a natural
form, ie vit c as oranges, how?? could you suppose that a powder or
pill is ok in that volume??
reality check! go read JAMA and PUBMED and see what they have on the
topic.
