Paper man, as far as I'm concerned our opinions do not carry any weight. IMHO what we post on this thread is just a way to vent our frustrations because of the lack of communications from the good doctor and, at least for me, the usurping of power by the FDA along with the drug lobbyist and incompetence I sense at the FDA. To me, the glass is full. Sufficient information about Reticulose has been gathered over the last 60-years, enough for the FDA to allow it to be dispensed like aspirin, i.e., without prescription. What the hell, wasn't that the condition under which Reticulose was being sold before 1962? Why is it that the "Johnnys-come-lately" choose to ignore the wisdom of our older generations? To me this lack of approval of Reticulose has turned out to be a political/financial game. Lack of approval is not because of the lack of scientific [some anecdotal but still significant] evidence. (a) The FDA is carrying out its charter to the letter of the law [protecting the agency, jobs and asses] at the expense of the spirit of the law [saving lives]. To much power (b) Money and corporate power [lobbying] seems to have a great deal to do with the FDA approval process, e.g., Rezulin and Viagra. To much Big Drug corporate influence. (c) FDA seems to have no concern as to the cost in having a drug approved. I feel they would make it a political heyday if they could financially destroy ADVR by citing what a good job they did. Not enough FDA dedication to the spirit of the law. (d) ADVR is afraid of the FDA and will do nothing to upset them. Because of this fear some potentially bad corporate decisions may have made, i.e. not obtaining a free sales certificate from the Bahamas long ago. To much concern for their scientific and financial asses at the expense of the afflicted.
