The diabetes drug rosiglitazone, sold under the trade name Avandia, has come under scrutiny. From 1999 to 2009, nearly 50,000 people on Avandia suffered heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death. In Europe, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended in September 2010 that the drug be suspended because the benefits no longer outweighed the risks.[10][11] It was withdrawn from the market in the UK, Spain and India in 2010,[12] and in New Zealand and South Africa in 2011. It is still being prescribed in the U.S. following a review of safety data by the FDA. Is this drug safe to use or are there cardiovascular risks? What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Seasilver was a supplement containing the herb pau d’arco, cranberry, and aloe. It got a lot of fanfare back in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was run out of business by the FTC and fined $120 million. They ceased doing business in 2006. Was this an ‘honest’ product being sold for its genuine health benefits? Or a scam? Or was it a good product whose benefits were exaggerated intentionally, with awareness, or unintentionally? Did they legitimately run afoul of the FDA and FTC, or were they targeted by overzealous enforcement, reading ‘too much’ into the laws and regulations governing supplements? Who are the bad guys here and who are the good guys, or were they both breaking and bending the rules of ‘fair play?'” What can Creator tell us?

He asks: “Did this constitute an interloper backlash of the manufacturers and sellers of this Seasilver product? Is this an object lesson we should be mindful of?” What can Creator tell us?
