Blzzy-I think you have gone off the deep end. There is nothing earth shattering or even tremble-inducing about that piece. And your POV on the FDA? Are you kidding me? Do you realize how much rampant abuse there is in pharma drugs, particularly with CNS and Painkillers? Remember Reagan's 'War on Drugs'? Did wonders for the pharma industry, didn't it? Are you seriously going to suggest that the FDA is just looking out for the poor unsuspecting consumer? Wake the F(da)/PH(arma) up. They are leading the proliferation of drug use in this country--most of which are doing more harm than good.

On the other hand, you are right about the idiotic anecdotal and testimonial dialogue here, it is nauseating, exaggerated, and mostly delusional. The placebo effect is a real condition, and is probably higher when subjects own the stock of the
underlying compound.

As far as Mullan is concerned, don't be naive: it is no different than 98% of any other pharma/researcher/doctor/politican relationship scenerio anywhere else on the planet.
