So many doctors are kind, caring, compassionate people who don’t get the respect they deserve, that is, until you need one. This Chap is an example of the best of what medicine has to offer. I mean, we never remember them when we are well but they never forget all the suffering that they are exposed to on a daily basis.

The FDA Fiddles While 30,000 Men Burn

November 26th, 2007 | Posted by CTL

DUBLIN, OHIO, November 25, 2007 /CTL/ — CareToLive, a not for profit corporation, received a set back in a lower Federal Court last Wednesday in its fight against the FDA on behalf of terminal cancer patients. Undeterred, they announced that they will immediately file an appeal in the 6th Circuit Court in Ohio.

“Men are dying while a safe, effective treatment languishes outside of their grasp,” said CareToLive spokesperson, Melody Davis. “Congress needs to wake up and hold hearings immediately! We are going to intensify our advocacy efforts on behalf of cancer patients. We feel the real reasons for the delay were financial and political conflicts. The FDA continues to ignore the cries of the 30,000 men dying of prostate cancer each year in the United States alone, and refuses to protect their health and well being as they are sworn to do.”

WHATS GOING ON

This Is An Emergency!

We rallied outside the FDA building in Rockville, Maryland on September 18th. Now there are buses riding around Rockville and Washington, D.C., further protesting the shenanigans that took place inside the FDA building, as well as outside.

The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can't keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.
WE'LL BE BACK

These people traveled from all across the country to protest outside the FDA Building in Rockville, Maryland. The FDA has stopped a safe and effective treatment from getting to men who need it now. The treatment is called Provenge and it treats men who have late stage prostate cancer.

The FDA appointed a panel of experts to help it decide on the safety and efficacy of Provenge. That panel voted 17-0 that Provenge was safe. And it voted 13-4 that Provenge showed substantial evidence it worked. And yet the FDA delayed it. Now it could be a year, a year and a half or it could be three years. It could be forever.

These people will keeping coming back to Rockville and they hope others will join them until the courts, the FDA, Congress or somebody does something about this travesty.
