If knowledgeable people with respectable professional backgrounds come into a chat forum to help each other , and somehow they are able to demonstrate trustworthiness and integrity, then this board is more than just entertainment. I am entertained by folks like Mike and others who offer comic relief, but I am educated by people like Falconer, whom I trust as sincere . I’d like to appreciate your expertise, but I’m not sure I feel the trust, for some reason. But I could ask you a question that would help me understand your frame of mind as a medical professional. Can you tell me what you think of the relationship between the FDA and big pharma, and do you think there is or has been any reason to question the integrity of FDA if there is such an intimate affiliation between the two .
