Title: A MIRACLE DRUG!
Post by BillyJ. on Jul 13^th, 2003, 1:16pm

Neurontin- http://www.msnbc.com/news/937302.asp#BODY
This is a long read but may have an impact on us.
The article deals with off-label prescribing.How many
CH drugs are labeled for CH?This case may very well
make doctors even more reluctant to prescribe off-label.
It also shows the true colors of at least one
pharmacutical company.
Therefore making it even more important to push
for CH to be added to the labeled uses for the drugs
that WE KNOW to be effective for us.As if we didn't have
enough problems already!!
Pain Free Wishes To All,

Not that I trust corporate TV to care anymore about truth anymore than Drug Companies...butt...it may serve to raise a healthy level of mistrust which I believe is an important tool for individuals to have livin in corporate Amerika.

good grief

Hey I was jus prescribed that by my doc today.....doc said it is one of the newer cleaner more promiseing drugs with less side effects ect......course it's new so does anyone 'really' know that fer sure. Anyone else on it.....I'm a supporter so it was prescribed for a spine that has been proven to be TOAST in two areas with exrays.....burnt toast I mite add. Kinda nervous about takein it......but chronic pain SUCKS a big one. I "suppose" the side effects are drastic weight gain over nite, butt uglyness and a rash....it'd be jus my luck ! Pam that is new to this shit and hates side effects 8)

It's an interesting story.
It was published on 7. June 2002 in the Hungarian Natural Healing Today. Nevertheless (I checked it out) hungarian people spent HUF 100 millions ($433,000) on Neurontin (249,500 dose) in the first quarter of this year.
We spent $164,000 on Imigran (22,344 pills, 570 injections) in three months. My share is 20-22 injections.
