1) What do you care, Spammin' Dave? Your only concern has been to tell us that all drugs are awful,
and only your overpriced, pesticide-contaminated ginseng really works.

2) Those prices, at least for the US, are not typically anywhere near the best prices, and are
mostly quoted for the brand-name stuff. Generics, which are available for many of them, are
much cheaper.

3) None of those drugs is an alternative medication, so your entire posting is off topic. As are
all your nitwit posts that are devoted to bashing conventional medicine. Get lost. Better yet,
drop dead.

Well. no, that excuse is long worn out. ANY health issue is ON topic.

Ahhh. That's nice.

Perhaps the MANY problems within conventional medicine is WHY so many are turning to alternative.

Do you have any idea how many people are getting thier prescription meds from Canada??

David doesn't want too discuss that, just call names and tell people to drop dead.

Sad that.
