So what? How come they can say this about things they consider threats to

their mainstream medicine, but it doesn't apply to them?

Last night during the news there was an ad for Elivel (not sure how to spell)

in which they say " the exact mechanism of action is not known " . And the med

the docs wanted to put my daughter on (Keppra) says they don't know how it

works either- on the package insert.

<But the studies referred to are surveys of people who have tried the herbal

mix, rather than carefully designed clinical trials.>

I'm sure there are people lined up just waiting to hand over the money to

help with those trials!

oh, soooooooo (here we go again), the mice in the lab are more reliable than the

people that would possibly be taking it down the road (or the ones that already

are taking it for cancer or other health related problems)?

Go figure!

All she'll do is get it banned (Politics in Healing is a

good book for seeing what happens to well meaning

doctors/patients like this) or some kind of ridiculous

requirements made in order to use it. Like Dr. Burzinsky

(www.cancermed.com <http://www.cancermed.com/> ) in Texas

can only use his treatment on kids and adults too, I think

that have had the chemo/rad and are almost dead.

Oh, boy I'm with ya there. It's the same thing they say

about chiropractic, " we don't know how it works and we don't

believe in it " so they are not negligent if they don't

refer to Chiropractors. BUT, let me continue to treat a

patient with cancer without referring them to medical

treatments that I don't know how they work because they

don't and I don't believe in them. HA, here come the cops

and I'm brought up on negligent charges. Almost every day I

take care of someone that has been treating medically for

years, MRI's, CT's, P.T. drugs and more drugs, then they

come to me and after sometimes just a couple of adjustments

they feel significant relief. I'M SURPRISED even that it

helped, really after all these years, I'm STILL surprised

that they get better.

And to bring it back to vaccines, I can no longer adjust

babies that have been shot up. It breaks my heart because I

know they need the adjustments more then ever, but if they

would seize, guess who'd they come after, certainly not the

drug shooters. It would be ruled a bad adjustment and I'd

be out on my butt.

The FDA has just banned MGN-3 and shark cartiledge from Lane Labs. The FDA

says they made illegal medical claims.I am highly ticked off right now. The

FDA should be banned. Bunch of crooked thieves.
