>> If the FDA decides that taurine and SAM-e supplements should be banned, would you still support Durbin's bill? <<

Damned straight, I would! If I found out that Taurine and SAM-e are dangerous, I sure as hell wouldn't want to continue taking them, wouldn't you? Since you probably aren't insane, I must conclude that you've bought into the Marxist bullsh*t about "big pharma," "tainted by capaign contributions," etc. This thread reads like a DU Tinfoil Hat post.

Of course not. Now, let's say the FDA bans Taurine and SAMe as quack medicine, suckering gullible people with mood disorders away from mainstream treatment. Should the federal government make such decisions, or should it be your call?

Is delusional thinking a reported side effect of SAMe or Taurine? Just curious.

I'm absolutely amazed at your comments about supplements on this thread. They show a real lack of knowledge on the subject. I will say, you are the kind of patient doctors and pharmaceutical companies love. Me, I don't suffer from White Coat Syndrome and learned to do research and think for myself.

And, no, that's not DU Tinfoil thinking, it comes from years of knowledge and experience and research -- and more, I work in the medical industry and see how the pharmaceuticals push the latest and greatest drug to doctors.... those drugs don't always turn out to be what they are made out to be. Vioxx is a good example, Celebrex is almost as bad, though not pulled like Vioxx.... yet a simple herb called Boswellia is a natural anti-inflamatory and tests have shown it as effective as both Vioxx and Celebrex without the potentially deadly side effects....

So go ahead and have your misconceptions and help Senator Durbin to worsen the health of millions of Americans and in turn cost the taxpayers millions in increased cost of medical care and prescription costs.
