Ever since early high school I've had tons of digestive problems, daily nausea, exhaustion, insomnia, tense muscles and pain.

The FDA will NOT approve a drug that does not meet certain criteria (why endpoints can be noted).
That being said, I agree with you on this= the DMD's are not as effective as they SHOULD and COULD be.
Scientific proof of murders? Not likely, but I agree that SOMETHING shuts the door on possible cures. Discovering the root cause for something does not automatically mean a cure is found.

This discussion could go on indefinitely but perhaps we should put this subject to bed.
@ CoolLioness Ok, you win sweetheart. I am outta here; Merry Christmas.
