Life West Chiropractic Students Fired up on Lyceum 2008

There is little that motivates me more than witnessing chiropractic students working a room at a chiropractic conference or seminar.

Told them I’d see what I could do about spreading the word.

FDA-approved Lawsuit Preemption

Everyone seems to be picking on the poor Food and Drug Administration (FDA) these days, but for vastly different reasons. To the hundreds of thousands of victims (including dead ones) of adverse prescription drug reactions each year, and their families, the FDA is failing to protect the public. These people believe the agency should spend more time and effort making sure drugs are safe and effective before approval. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical companies feel the FDA is a nuisance, way too fussy about drug safety details and terribly slow with approval.
