Drug Ingredients and the FDA


Greetings,
So, do you trust the FDA to monitor the import of drug components from all over the world?  
Who believes that they're going to control the import from manufactures for the other 80% of ingredients in Prescription Drugs? 
Not Me!
I'll tell you something, I'm really glad that we don't take any medications.
Just got this today and thought you'd be interested.
All the best,
Lou & Debbie

A recently released report from the FDA says close to 80 percent of the active ingredients found in pharmaceutical products originate abroad.

“Americans are not going to restrict themselves to seasonal and locally grown food. Nor will we limit ourselves to the drugs and devices that can be developed and manufactured using only ingredients and parts that come from within the U.S.,” blogger Steven Grossman says. Through international cooperation, the FDA has set up a plan to monitor the import of pharmaceutical ingredients by assembling global coalitions of regulators through partnerships with foreign counterparts, developing a global data system that will allow information to be shared and continuing to expand its capabilities in intelligence gathering.

A simple solution for migraines?

Greetings,
     About two thirds of migraine sufferers cannot function at a normal level when they get a migraine attack.
     I  have a sister in law that suffers from migraines and always keep my eyes and ears open to anything that could help her.  
     I just heard about something that is worth passing along and I hope this info helps not only her, but someone you know too. 

Sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest difference.

     A woman I heard about was a life time sufferer from migraines. While she was in the middle of an attack, she was eating ice cream and got sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, what you and I call 'brain freeze.  What happened next was for her surprising and life changing.  The brain freeze caused a full-blown migraine to just go away! 
I've never had a migraine, and hope I never do, but if I ever did, this is one of those little tips I hope I’ll remember.
Sure beats taking drugs or lying down in a dark room waiting for the pain to go away, and as an extra bonus - who dosent like ice cream!
All the Best,
Lou & Debbie
