AT, <<actifed, their argument is that, by taking it without proper instruction and knowledge you reduce its effects and cause mutations which are resistant to the drugs later on.>> Everyone has different views on what is important when approving drugs. My point is that any drug taken improperly or inappropriately can have potential risk. However, if we continue to over label everything to absurdity, all we create is an opportunity for people to worry needlessly and give lawyers the opportunity to create unecessary lawsuits. It's about time that we stopped protecting people from themselves and start requiring society to act responsibly. Sydney Wolfe's organization doesn't help, they perpetuate the problem. Think of it this way. Did you ever see those "no smoking" signs near the gas pumps. If someone doesn't have enough common sense to know that gas explodes, do you think they are really going to heed the signs? OK..I'll get off my soapbox now. Regards, Dave
