I think what I'm mostly trying to say is that it would be nice for people to have options! If an insulin company made some insulins without preservatives & some with, it would offer options to those who are allergic (to preservatives), or those who just plain don't like them.

Remember, just cause it's worked for you (or even me) for xx amount of years, doesn't mean that someone else won't suffer a severe side effect, and it's Those people that I'm thinking of as well.

On the FDA front:

I understand that in some areas, the FDA's hands may be "tied." That said, since they are supposed to enforce the "safety" of meds & things, I personally think they should do a Better job & owe it to the people to do so. When folks have died from things like Rezulin & suffered from stuff like Vioxx, it makes me wonder just how many unsafe drugs they're willing to pass & how many lives they're willing to toy with (by releasing unsafe meds).

I don't believe that millions would die a day if an unsafe drug was Not released. I also know that sometimes, the very drugs that are approved for one condition, can (and in some cases, do) indeed cause a host of other problems....

These are my opinions & while I'm open-minded on most things, I am not clouded into thinking that our system is a safe & good one all the way around. There are many aspects and reasons behind why meds are released when they probably should be reviewed a little longer...One of which is money, and in my opinion, money talks a little too much (especially in America)...
