One of the agenda items that the Democrats campaigned on last fall was to allow people to buy prescription drugs from other countries. It was a strategy that met with broad approval.
"Two of the Democrats' top goals - a higher minimum wage and federal funding of embryonic stem cell research - enjoy broad public support as the party takes control of Congress for the first time in a dozen years.
An overwhelming majority also supports making it easier for people to buy prescription drugs from other countries."
I will admit, I thought that the idea had merit. Pending of course that something like this was not a possibility.
"The kidneys fail first. Then the central nervous system begins to misfire. Paralysis spreads, making breathing difficult, then often impossible without assistance. In the end, most victims die.
Many of them are children, poisoned at the hands of their unsuspecting parents.
The syrupy poison, diethylene glycol, is an indispensable part of the modern world, an industrial solvent and prime ingredient in some antifreeze. "
And just how DID the diethylene glycol get into these medicines????
" And the deaths, if not intentional, are often no accident.
Over the years, the poison has been loaded into all varieties of medicine — cough syrup, fever medication, injectable drugs — a result of counterfeiters who profit by substituting the sweet-tasting solvent for a safe, more expensive syrup, usually glycerin, commonly used in drugs, food, toothpaste and other products.
Toxic syrup has figured in at least eight mass poisonings around the world in the past two decades. Researchers estimate that thousands have died. In many cases, the precise origin of the poison has never been determined. But records and interviews show that in three of the last four cases it was made in China, a major source of counterfeit drugs. "
Take this in conjunction with the recent pet food recall and you certainly have to wonder about anything fod related that comes out of China. It also may be wise to stick with American made for a little while longer.
