I think the FDA has been taken over by those people who don't believe in using any drugs to treat anything. They are working on one front to take common medications (like cold and allergy medicines) off the open counter, and on another front to withdraw prescription medicines from the pharmaceutical market.

Maybe they are the same people who think the world would be better off if the human population was reduced below 1 billion (better off for the animals, that is)...

Dextromethorphan ought to be in everyones medicine chest, as it can improve stroke victioms if given promptly after the stroke.

By the way, the FDA is a revolving door. They come from the drug industry, work at FDA for a couple of years, then go back to industry. Their job at FDA is to make one company very happy so they will hire them at a large salary.

Seems to be a lack of common sense, and ever changing studies. One year Food A is good, the next year it’s eee-vil. I don’t know about the FDA; but from what I see, if some people do abuse cough syrup, they are trying to sleep, but might as well buy cheap liquor in that case.
