FDA issues "strong warning"
about potentially deadly drug side effects
By: William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
I'm sorry to report yet another half-hearted warning by the FDA in the case of a potentially deadly side effect in not one but FOUR prescription drugs used by rheumatoid arthritis sufferers – Humria, Cimzia, Enbrel, and Remicade. The drugs suppress the immune system and could expose patients to serious fungal infections.
How deadly? The FDA has received 240 reports of histoplasmosis (a serious type of fungal infection) – 12 of them fatal.
What's amazing to me is that, in spite of the fact that the fungus that causes infection is commonly found in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys, the FDA didn't even consider a temporary regional ban on the drugs in question. Instead, they've once again opted to go with the Big Pharma-friendly (and patient-be-damned) route of the "stronger warning."
I've got a warning for you – don't rely on the FDA to keep you safe.
[My Note: And if you are on any prescription drugs (something we want to avoid ourselves), you should realize that they cause nutrient losses in your body, and that's another very good reason to consider getting on a high qualtity nutritional supplement, like the USANA Essentials!

Like I mentioned before, you can get what the Essentials contain from your diet, but you will need to eat several pounds of fresh produce every day and it will end up costing you much more than the USANA Health Sciences Essentials cost. By the way, if you think that you can get all the calcium you need from milk, think again. The calcium in milk is great for cows, but is useless to humans!]
