I think that the FDA is way too powerful, to the detriment of the people.

I am all in favor of abolishing it and replacing it with a streamlined advisory agency.

I agree, however, that would be the trail lawyers greatest dream come true.

The technical errors in this article really kill the credibility. The product is "antibodies"? Antibodies are manufactured by the immune system in response to exposure to a foreign antigen. It is common practice to make such preparations as "tetanus toxoid" which is an antibody preparation injected to counteract tetanus toxins. The reference to "antibodies" in the article is pretty nebulous.

Another gaffe. An antibiotic that attack DNA synthesis. You don't want to give that to a human being. Humans are DNA based. Most antibiotics are targeted a weaknesses in a bacterium that are not shared by the infected host. Penicillin attacks the peptidoglycan mesh that makes up the cell wall of a Gram position bacterium. Chloramphicol and Clindamycin disrupts bacterial ribosomal transcription of mRNA into proteins without disrupting the protein systhesis of the host's cells.

The article is busy baffling the uninformed with technical BS in an attempt to gain credibility. The FDA certainly needs some reform, but the crusaders need to hire some better informed troops to carry their water.
