  • For more information on Heparin please type in Heparin Scare in your YouTube search engine

  • "more than 80 percent of active ingredients in US drugs come from abroad.  More than half, from India and China." I wonder where Reuters got their data? I have severe doubts about these statistics.

  • Where the hell was the moron before this happened!!

  • When are we gonna learn? Did anyone else see the dateline episode called "Bitter Pill"? Heparin is just the latest drug, they've been selling to our pharmacies for years and FAKE CHEMO drugs that have saw dust in them!! Besides the lead paint in the toys,etc.etc.

  • I know this is what killed my Mother a year ago. She was getting better and doing fine......in fact they were going to send her home that day. Then they gave her the Heparin, she went into a coma and died a couple hours later!!! This was only a year ago this month! The person who is tainting this is a cold hearted killer!!

  • "We must do things differently." No kidding? Here's an idea: stop trusting studies funded by the drug companies (they have a profit motive to lie and cheat!), and forbid drug company employees from work at the FDA and FDA employees from working at drug companies (profit motive to approve bad drugs!).
