> SimchaThank you for your post Simcha, it sounds as if you understand exactally how I feel and what I want. The name of the game is money,for these drug companies--all of them~ and I know it-they want the big money for a new drug once the patent runs out on a similar one. What I want would not cost them anything, and that is: truth --just list it, or give me help in finding a lab that can test for it, so they can follow the proceedures they say they have to have before listing it. Still no help from them. Be safe, and have a good holiday season.
