Pam, You have a good point. In my experience, doctors HATE any kind of therapy thats natural (check out the hospitals, there are pharm sales people all over giving out freebie stuff promoting their synthetic drugs) I know you all are sick of me saying this, but I remember last year when Melatonion came out, the natural sleep aid. Thousands of people take it and it really helps them to sleep. GNC could not keep the shelves stocked with it. However, the medical industry fought it, and are trying to regulate it. Sure, I guess some abuse it, but they also abuse others things (tobacco, alcohol). The medical industry loves the synthetic stuff but its hard for them to agree with using the natural.
OK, how does this affect PRLN? I can only think that the public will have the same reaction as they did with melatonion. They will buy it and use it.Merk and Abbott will fight for more regulation of natural stuff. Beyond that, I don't know.
Check out GNC someday. The stores are usually packed and people are really getting into this naural stuff. |
