While I have no reason to not believe Dr. Craig, could this be a *story*
that is being circulated by the FDA to give them a reason to confiscate
Domperidone like they do cocaine? (I mean -- this company needs to get their
priorities RIGHT!). That said, if it IS true -- where are the articles on the front
page of the Wall Street Journal? I don't know that any of us have heard
anything about this until Debbie posted the other day....
I want to see the case studies of the women that took this horrendous amount
of Domperidone and had problems.
Have you noticed Tylenol taken off the market -- even though some misguided
people take an overdose in an attempt to commit suicide?
What about Viagra -- in which there HAVE been deaths, even with men taking
the appropriate amount.
Fox News missed this story? CNN? CBS? NBC? ABC? New York Times?
Hmmmmm. I smell yet another small mouse.....
And no, I'm not faulting Dr. Craig. I am wondering where he got this
information, and if it was really true.....
