Have They No Shame?

In a breathtaking act of bravado, Wyeth is trying to take away your right to access bioidentical hormones and compounding pharmacies by enlisting so-called women’s and physician groups like The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG which is funded in part by Wyeth), North American Menopause Society (NAMS) and The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA also a 'partner' of Wyeth) which have become nothing more than covert "fronts" for the pharmaceutical industry.

In October 2005 Wyeth filed a citizen petition with the FDA essentially asking for elimination of the compounding of bioidentical hormone option for women of all ages.

Please join me in stopping Wyeth from maneuvering us out of our rights and becoming victims of a healthcare system run by the monopoly of big pharma and motivated solely by money.

If they can't patent it, then they get all pissed off at others who offer BETTER solutions.

That's always the way. Drug companies and the AMA have been after such health alternatives such as chiropractic, and nutritional supplements for decades.

And now this.

If medical marijuana, as well as other "unconventional" therapies, helps people with certain conditions, I'm all for it.
