A one time giveaway of 37 Billion dollars in a country with a quickly aging population, and all the financial problems that come with it, and not one penny for anti-aging or de-aging research. There are wonderfull people working on the anti-aging problem, see:

Any ideas on how to Save / Fix the FDA? You probably know of the "cozy" relationship it has with Big Pharma, how it: 1) lets Big Pharma keep dangerous meds on the market http://savethefda.blogspot.com/#FDA-InBigPharmaGrips-1 2) lets Big Pharma reward doctors for prescribing more costly and less thoroughly tested meds http://savethefda.blogspot.com/#FDA-InBigPharmaGrips-2

I would like to know what you think of our blog, our goal and whether you would be interested in helping get the word out. (Do you think that getting the word...

I have been advised to take Glucosamine, however the tablets are very expensive. I have a good drug plan, and was wondering if there are any prescription glucosamine supplements. Please no "ask your regular doc" answers. There's a huge waiting list for one here and I'm on the bottom of it. If I know what I need the clinic will prescribe, but they are terrible on the advice front. ;-)

Hello, My mother took glucosamine supplements and felt discomfort in her chest as well as headaches. I was wondering if these were common for other users as well. The first time she took the glucosamine with MSM and chondritis. Then later, she took just glucosamine sulfate. Both times, she felt some discomfort. These were purchased at a vitamin store and are the brand of that vitamin store.
