Hey super - thanks to you and kid for posts about the embarrassment of how BIEL is being dealt with here at home.
When I said "How embarrassing for the USA and the FDA.", they are us, we are the USA citizens who put em there.
When I wrote "Shameful", please note that it was after writing - "How many other situations like this are haunting the halls of the FDA or DC?" Those august bodies are also us, we citizens put those in DC in place.
Anyone who thinks for one second that it is OK for the State of Maryland to grant taxpayer funds to BIEL to advance its business and then be nominated for a business innovation award in the UK, a foreign country, while the FDA denies BIEL OTC approval for its products which have strong efficacy and no negative side-effects here in the USA doesn't get it. And Health Canada in our neighbor to the north approved BIEL in what year? After how long? All these elements, to me, are absurdly shameful! I feel better.
