I don't care if something has FDA approval or not. It's not like the medications they have approved are " A OK " to take. I was watching a commercial last week about a new prescription for arthritis (I think) and a side effect was cancer! So patients have the choice... you can move with less pain but you may get cancer... oh sure, I'll take cancer. Are people really ok with taking that? In today's world you see commercials pushing all kinds of FDA approved meds and the list of side effects is insane! Cymbalta is another one with oh so wonderful side effects, and if you try to stop taking Cymbalta... WHOAH! Look out! I'm not concerned with a couple weight loss supplements. When taking a diuretic, most people have the urge to drink more anyways so they don't get dehydrated.

I wonder if all these products have a suggested diet and excercise component.

I've never heard of either of these wt loss supplements, but thanks for keeping us aware. Shame on the companies who try to side step drug laws.

Dr. Margolis is a member of the largest rip off in history which includes the AMA, the FDA, the huge food coglomerates, and the drug companies. They cannot afford to let you get well. They need customers. Your body wants to heal, and it needs the correct nutrition. If you want proof write to me at ybitty4@yahoo.net. If you treat vitamins as food and use the amount that your body requires, you will see good healing. Drugs do not heal except for those very few that will kill bacteria. The rest are toxic to the body, andd only cover the symptoms. I am a reseach man. I do not diagnose, prescribe or treat. I do not sell supplements. I sell information.

There are to many over the counter drugs that should be taken off the market. Not only can they have drug interactions but can lead to other drugs that are addicting and harmful.
