This could be a blessing in disguise for people who take a boatload of shit that just causes them more problems. I wish people would try and find other ways to treat their issues as much of pharma is crap. T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

Been in the business for nearly 50 years. Nothing less than insanity. Always wondered how drugs made in China that are temperature sensitive get to the US. I know they're not air freighted. 3 weeks across the ocean in a metal box under the sun. Oh, never mind, it'll be fine. Just like everything else that comes from China. JUSA companies buying stuff as cheap as possible, import it, then rip your balls off when you need the meds. They have to make that stalk market happy. Very simple. |
