Designer Drugs, Designer Death

A few months ago, arthritis drug Vioxx was taken off the market due to a new study linking it to heart disease. More recently, one of it’s chief competitors, Celebrex, suffered the same fate. Now it looks like our old friend Aleve is next in line for the firing squad! Arthritis sufferers everywhere are understandably concerned about the situation, and wondering whether other new drugs might pose similar risks! Perhaps now would be a good time to remind them of a natural remedy, which has proven time and time again to deliver maximum relief with a minimum of side effects.

    D’oh! I can’t see the Aleve article because I don’t have a NY Times subscription…which is so stupid because NY Times is one of my vendors and the jerks can’t even give me a free subscription. I’m assuming there’s some long-term-effect study going on with Aleve…it’s such a backward world we live in where the FDA will approve just about anything the well-paid ’scientists’ can come up with (and later pull it from the market and create a field-day for the lawyers), but it’s taking a ridiculous amount of time to let us consume something that grows naturally and doesn’t kill anybody. I mean come on, how many hundreds of years of evidence do you need?
