THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!!!
It's not just the animal supplements they are after. The drug companies are in a snit because they are not making money off the supplements. They have been targeting people supplements a lot during the last year. Suddenly, scare stories are appearing about how dangerous supplements are. Yeah, dangerouse to drug companies pockets. If they would make the drugs needed available at a price those of us who need them (who happen to be on limited incomes a lot of the time) could afford, we wouldn't need to look for a supplement. They've shot themselves in the foot and don't like the pain. I, myself take glucosamine for my arthritis. Glucosamine, by the way, started out as an animal supplement for arthritis in animals. It's been tested in Europe on people and proven safe and effective in lots of cases. The American Arthritis Foundation even suggests trying it, under doctor supervision, of course. It not only helps the pain but I can afford it. No way could I afford the $70 + a month drugs they try to push off on us. (Which didn't work for me anyway!!)
If they are successful at getting the animal supplements off, you watch, people's will be right after them.
Please note: I am not insensitive to the fact that the real losers would be the animals who need the suplements.
I will now get off my soapbox. Sorry, but I just had to vent a little.
