We assume as residents of the US that we are entitled to some of the best health care and medications available (albeit possibly at a price). However this morning, I would like to go rap some people up side the head.
First of all, you people over at Johnson & Johnson selling moldy Tylenol. You were told in November you had moldy Tylenol. You finally only pulled it off the shelves this week. That would be two months. Are you slow? And now the FDA might make an example out of you. (Don't get the FDA mad, or I think you will never get another drug approved!) If you had moldy smells and tracked it to what the wood pallets are treated with I think two months is plenty of time to fix this issue. And if it was only a limited recall originally, when it was expanded that might say 'hmmm, perhaps we didn't do enough'. Well, now the damage is done.
I was in Walgreen's last week and all Tylenol was pulled from the shelves. The last time I saw a Tylenol recall like this was the early 1980's in metro Chicago. We assume as a customer of a national chain, we are going to purchase a quality product, particularly when we plan to buy the name brand and not the generic or store brand.
Then, there are the 'lucky' people at a local school who did not get H1N1 flu shots, but got a combination with insulin. The news reported only six people had a reaction to this mix but insulin can be deadly to those with blood sugar issues I think.
Last fall there were the other flu shots which were recalled because they were shown to have lost their effectiveness.
One side of the coin is that the FDA has stringent requirements to get medications on the market and to ensure that the public receives the correct doses and drugs. But the other side of the coin are the claims that the FDA is slow to respond and has lengthy requirements to bring a product to market, which drive up the costs of name brand prescriptions and prolong the time required to bring generics to market. Its a fine line. We assume as the public we are getting what we need, the label says and its good quality. We have a right to assume that. But we also need to back the FDA to ensure that they can do their job.

Maybe all those products are imported from China.
I'll never back any bloated government bureaucracy and I never assume the government can do anything appropriately. If the FDA would pay more attention to efficacy and less attention trying to micromanage opiates away from stage IV cancer patients, or delaying the approval of medications already proven safe, then I'll reconsider.
Check out FDAreview.org if you are interested.
It seems as though everybody knows someone that is affected with cancer. This is a worldy epidemic and there is no known cure for it but what can we do to prevent it?
I hope that you will take the info provided and I encourage everybody to check it out.
Two months ago I started taking a nutraceutical puree AIO premium Cellular Health. This cutting edge nutraceutical contains Ac-11 among other ingredients. Some of the powerful ingredients in AIO, acai, camu, camu, amla, blueberry, acerola, ect. are known to fight free radicals, prevent oxidative stress and dramatically slow the natural aging process. AC-11 a rare and little known ingredient found in AIO has recently been proven to repair and nourish our own ADULT STEM CELLS! I BELIEVE AIO can cure many people's fear of cancer today. As a society we need to prevent diseases from developing in our own bodies. How do we do this? We need to nourish our ADULT STEM CELLS. Our body’s. are made up of stem cells that account for every function and activity within us. Disease, Cancer, Aging, Inflammation, etc. Our stem cells are always, always replicating and we need to nourish and repair unhealthy stem cells so we can lead a healthy life! If we found a way to nourish our stem cells so they will not replicate into malignant cancer cells then cancer would indeed not be evident. AIO is a brand new product that will soon hit national recognition. AIO has been a blessing for myself and others as the testimonies that are rocketing in are outstanding! Diabetics going off of their insulin, grey hair growing back the natural color, optimum energy and better sleep from blood sugar stabilization, chronic pains going away, and more!
Those who receive the chance to learn about it have the the wonderful opportunity to change their lives!
