Prescription Eczema Creams Cause Cancer?
By Margaret Albright, Thu Dec 8th
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two creams -- Novartis AG's Elideland Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc.'s Protopic, must carry a strongwarning of cancer risk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationsaid on Thursday. (March 10, 2005) Research shows the creams are absorbed into the body and cancause cancer, the FDA said. The creams will carry a "black box"warning -- the strongest warning carried on medicines. Why would the FDA even consider such a warning to be OK? If aproduct carries such a risk, why not take it off the marketuntil it has been perfected? Do you think the pharmaceuticalcompanies are going to try to make it a better product if it isselling just fine in it's defective state? Probably not. Theyare moving on to create the next drug that will make them moremoney.
The FDA also said, "babies should not be treated with the creamsat all." My nephew was prescribed both these creams from his doctor whenhe was between 3 and 6 months old! His mom used one or the othercream on him for close to a year. His was all over hisbody so I am sure he absorbed plenty of it's cancer causingeffects. When the warning came out about this product, hisdoctor did NOT discontinue prescribing it. He never warned mynephews mom about the cancer. How many more babies are in thissame situation? You can bet there are thousands if not more. "The data showed that the risk of cancer increased as the amountof the drug given increased." the FDA said in a statement. So why is this product still on the market? It makes money, that's why. If your doctor cared about you morethan the cash in his pocket, would he be prescribing this cream?Of course not. The problem is he or she and the FDA and the AMAare more
interested in lining their pockets than making youhealthy. They actually prefer to keep you sick. I know I've said this before in my article "Natural Herbs vs.Prescription Drugs" but it's true. The more research I do on"modern medicine" the more I realize the only person that caresabout my health is me. I have to find out what will heal my bodywithout hurting it in the process. Why would anyone want to use a cream that will sooth anirritating skin problem that will later cause you to requirechemo-therapy? First of all, I would prefer the overcancer any day and yes I have dealt with so I have firsthand experience. I have never had cancer but I am sure it isworse than eczema. Secondly, there are many great natural eczemaproducts on the market that work with no side effects. It's time to take control of your health folks. Your doctor isnot the right person to do this. You have to do the research andfind out what you are putting in and on your body. You have todecide if the side effects are greater than the help you receivefrom the product. (Herbal products carry no side effects.) Whocares more about you than you? Find the herbs that will cure youand then you can live a full life. This is just the beginning.
