Re: Another Wondering about Liver Cleansing Method-tan

I still would not want to the be the guinea pig for a newly approved drug.   So many FDA approved drugs have finally been exposed as dangerous after years or even decades.  Look at Prozac that was claimed to have no side effects when it came out.  Yet it has more side effects of any drug in history.  NSAIDs have been known to cause heart attacks and strokes for over 30 years, but they never told the public until just a few years ago.  Sleeping pills have been on the market for decades as well and they are just now revealing the side effects of hallucinations and "sleep" activity.  This is not a new finding either.  The alternative community was reporting that estrogen replacement increased the risk of cancer for over 30 years.  Yet the FDA only released this information about  5 years ago.

There are many other drugs they still are not telling people the truth about.  Like the fact that antidepressants can cause suicidal depression in adults as well.  Or the fact that Coumadin (warfarin) can cause strokes.  Or that statins used to lower cholesterol can cause heart failure.  Or that all chemotherapy drugs are carcinogenic.  They don't want people knowing that these drugs can cause the problems that they are supposed to treat.

And keep in mind that this is the same FDA that also approved aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) and claims it is safe!!!
