Good Morning Charlie, Thanks for explaining about how the FDA does their drug testing. Maybe because I have had such horrid reactions to FDA approved drugs, it has made me believe we'd be just as well off with warning labels on packages and forget all the drug testing. I do have to admit that I'm happy they do human testing and not testing with rhesus monkeys. There is just something about my brain being compared to a rhesus monkey that irritates me!!! just me, Marjorie 68/58/55
