With drug companies paying millions of dollars in "fees" to the FDA to ensure speedy approvals for their drugs, the FDA's answer is ... speed.

Is it just me or does anyone else remember parents, teachers, even doctors saying, ”&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If it isn’t natural it does not belong in the body”?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;I do believe that this simple fact should be “screamed from the mountain tops” (the media) as a counter attack on the legalized poisonings that kill at least 300 daily! (By the way did you know&amp;nbsp;the word, &lt;em&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;"druggist" or "pharmacist" comes from the Greek word "pharmakon" meaning "poisoner" ?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;Come on people! Please ask yourself how we can best accomplish this, “should be” simple task! I for one keep racking my brain but don’t see anything except an expensive media campain! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;We must call on the wisdom of Uncle Russ! (Any ideas, Russ?)
