Charlie: Thank you so much for your comments. I did not know that the FDA had to approve anything crossing state lines, so semi-bought one dr.'s twaddle about "poor quality control" on generics. I'm glad to have your information -- it helps. I did stand up to one dr. when he wanted to put me on estrogen and I demanded to know what "compelling" reason there was for any woman to take it. He said, "osteoporosis." I don't have it. So I refused to take estrogen and am doing just fine. This man is a good dr., but it was a jolt for me to see how routinely he prescribed estrogen. I'm old enough (55) to remember when drs. made house calls, so I'm still having a hard time taking charge of my own health care and my husband's. It just doesn't come naturally. This List is a terrific help, though. Thanks again. Delda White ([log in to unmask]), CG Bob, 65/.75
