The following comes from Dr. Ryan French of Hamilton, Ontario, in response to the recent news regarding PPA and strokes.

Re: Cold Medication Warning

Isn't It Curious?

Isn't it curious that the FDA is now banning drugs that have been available for plenty of years?
Isn't it curious that these "side effects" haven't been discovered sooner?
Isn't it curious that society fails to realize that we are all a part of massive drug studies?
Isn't it curious that no one becomes outraged when drugs are taken off the shelves, having been previously duped into thinking that they were good for us?
Isn't it curious that there are people all over the world right now masterminding ways to get new drugs into our bodies; and we buy into it?
Isn't it curious that people are rarely dying of old age anymore, even though the new drugs are getting "better"?
Isn't it curious that the medical population will attribute this decrease to better diagnostic skills, and not a failure of their healthcare model?
Isn't it curious that the American Medical Association's own statistics ranks them as the third leading cause of death, and no one complains?
Isn't it curious that an estimated 7,500 people die every year from the use of over the counter NSAIDs but nevertheless, sales of these rise with the increased advertising every year?
Isn't it curious that the human body produces over 65,000 different drugs each day, and yet we think that we need to put more into our bodies?
Isn't it curious that this letter, if published, will likely evoke more criticism than otherwise?

I find it curious.
