[cancercured] FDA leaves cancer-causing foot gel on the market

It's always good news day at the FDA . . .

From the William Campbell Douglass newsletter:

FDA leaves cancer-causing foot gel on the market

Even the most seemingly innocent drugs can carry fatal side effects. The
FDA just announced a study showing that the foot gel Regranex could be
causing cancer. And yet, amazingly, Regranex is still on the market!
The prescription foot gel is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson and is
often used by diabetics who develop leg and foot ulcers that are
difficult to heal.

Apparently, diabetics who'd been prescribed the gel three or more times
were at increased risk of death from cancer. With incredible gall, the
spokesperson for J&J insisted that Regranex is safe when used as
directed. What? This is a topical foot gel—if these people are
applying it to the sores on their feet and legs, they ARE using it as
directed. Should any foot gel be capable of giving you CANCER!? Does
this make sense to you?

Obviously there's more to this story. But if I were you, I wouldn't wait
for the FDA to do the banning – ban Regranex from your medicine
cabinet immediately.

Always with something to say about the FDA,
William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
