Now can people understand just why it may have been in our best interest NOT to have had the Intergel appproved by the FDA?? Better to be safe then sorry and I sure don't want to have to know the first fatality in the event something isn't ready to be be approved...let the experiments stay in the research labs and not get out until things are ready to be used safely on those who need them!
If any of you still harbored any feelings against the FDA for not approving the Intergel...may those feelings be laid to rest with this announcement!
Thank-you Karen
