No, not a quack. Not by a long shot.


Read the label and take it according to directions. It's not rocket science.

The 3

Sciatic nerve damage in the early 80's due to hysterectomy. I still live with it about 40 yrs later.

Anti inflammatory drug in the 80's put me in the ER with stomach ulcer.

Hip replacement 2010 and the 3 complications.

After I went to a Tawainese for an acupuncture treatment, he used some sort of wood piece to massage my feet, it was extremely painful, but it cured my stomach problem after 2 weeks of treatment. Unintended consequences, I didn’t come there to treat my stomach.

Sorry @Jamie, I like to call them quacks. I have many quacks story, but I spare you the details.

And I call the drugs they doll out the danger. They prescribe what pharma gives them. Pharma needs to produce safer drugs.

That's what the FDA is for.



Unlike supplements, which have no safety regulations.

I don't trust the FDA as far as I can throw them, they approve so many toxic substances.

They don't produce the drugs, the drug companies do that.

Remember when Fen Phen was a popular diet pill that finally got banned due to all the health issues it caused. You have to wonder how it ever got FDA approval.

I did take it according to direction. Sorry, why do you blame people. There are side effects that they didn’t tell people. If he told me to take it, but taking it caused me stomach trouble which I didn’t know, then he should have prescribe a different medicine or tell me there potential problem.

It never had FDA approval.


And the FDA is who got it off the shelves.

The FDA, what a laugh. Have you see so many commercials about drugs and there there all kinds of side effects with the drugs.

So. Don't. Take. Them.


Of course there are side effects, and the FDA is there to give you that information.
