Humourous comment worth thinking about.

The NHS is similar to the FDA in the US. The following quote is taken from an article I found on the BBC regarding the use of bath emollients for babies and children with eczema.

It is so hilarious to me becuase so many "approved" drugs via these agencies are truly unproven, especially for the long term AND do cause side effects, some extremely serious or lethal.

But the NHS watchdog warns parents not to waste money on "high street" allergy tests for the condition, and to avoid herbal remedies and food supplements.

The efficacy of these is unproven, and they may cause side-effects, it says.
