12. "stop thinking that everything else is bad."

 

I don't think everything else is bad - I just refuse to take anything that lists horrific side effects and/or horrific withdrawal symptoms. That pretty much covers everything, as far as I can tell. And the off-label stories I have read are scary, too.
Take something for menopause symptoms or osteoporosis - get cancer and see those meds recalled. MMMM, Fosamax and Boniva! Jawbone infections and pharma making fun of that. Great testing process there!!!! Stuff like that makes me uber-cautious.

What exactly do you mean by "fully regulate"? Drive out of business, make unavailable, require a lot of money and a prescription?
Are WebMD and the Mayo Clinic just lying about the supplements they give information on?
I do find it commendable that you worry so much about other people's health and pocketbooks. I wish others would worry just as much about the artificially high cost of pharmaceuticals, the way we taxpayers fund research and then get charged so much for medicine, the way our meat is barely inspected, if at all.......much more harmful things, IMO.
