The list of drugs that have had bad effects reported recently continues to grow. First it was Vioxx, then Celebrex, then Aleve, and now Depo Prevera. Soon they're gonna be recalling water, just you wait and see.

Yup, it's truly nasty stuff, that DHMO. Uncounted thousands die each
year from accidental inhalation of the stuff. But the dangers of DHMO
do not end there!
Prolonged exposure to its
solid form can cause severe tissue damage; exposure to its gaseous
phase can also cause severe skin damage; overingestion of its liquid
form causes excessive sweating and urination, a bloated feeling,
nausea, bodily electrolyte imbalance, DHMO toxicity (it can get into
the brain) and even death. For those who have become dependent,
withdrawal from DHMO means certain death.
It can cause property damage and mass death, as we have recently seen.
It causes erosion of our natural landscape, such as in the midwest.
But the problem is global, and the substance has even been found in
Antarctic ice!
Farmers use it as a crop additive. Even after washing, produce remains
contaminated by this chemical.
The Government has refused to ban DHMO "due to the importance to the
economic health of the nation." In fact, the military is spending
billions of dollars to control and utilize it during warfare situations.
The military and private corporations store large quantities of it, and
distribute it via a sophisticated underground network.
See http://www.dhmo.org (Last I saw, they had a picture of an *actual*
DHMO-contaminated cow. Cruelty to farm animals!)

When not cycling off the shot, because of family reproductive history... the shot is my preferred form of birth control... I have known about the bone density thing from the get-go... and have taken supplements all the while - just in case. Personally the benefits, for my anyhow, far outweigh the drawbacks. I think that it's kinda lame that the FDA only now, seems interested in sharing these findings when canucks have seemingly had them all along.

Yeah, and Aleve's my new painkiller because Tylenol no longer does anything for me. I discovered this while taking it every 4 hours and still watching a fever go up and up and up...
