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?

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?

I must conclude that you've bought into the Marxist bullsh*t about "big pharma," "tainted by capaign contributions," etc.

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

According to the article, the bill's beef with the treamtents is not that they are inadequately proven to help, but that they are dangerous. So the issue of big, bad government deciding for me what is quackery is a fake issue. What is at issue is the practice of government maintaining tight controls over legitimate medicine, while pacifying hippies with a loophole.
