Harold just said what's needed to be said along time ago.

The MSM is a total laughingstock, thank god there's still critical thinking to be found in Comedy Central and HBO's Bill Maher.

Let's see how high oil gets this year, and how much the dollar is going to keep falling.

Okay heres the story. My eyes are very messed up from my illness. I used to get eyedrops to help them but the FDA doesnt make a lot of money from them so they stopped producing them. Without them my eyes hurt like hell ( I can barley stand to look at my computer screen) an d Im gradually going blind. The thing is, I CAN get them. If I fly all the way to DC. From WA that is VERY expensive. My grandma CAN afford if she cuts back on spending, but I hate that she would have to do that. Shes done far more than enough for me already.
I also know that there are other people who need these eyedrops who will never be able to afford it in a million years and the eyedrops wont be certifed for atleast another ten years. Theyll all lose thier eyesight if they cant get enough money for the trip.

What is DU? Thax very much, that should be a bighelp no matter who they are. Im not sure how good of a case it is. Like I said they ARE available, but it costs an arm and a leg. To be more specific, we have to fly to DC to take part in some research study At the NHI. ( The eye drops are 'experimental, however they have been for years and so far theyve done nothing but good) it would be a big help even to get it so that we can some how take part in that study locally and get the eydrops shipped to us..something like that.

Thier called Cystamine eyedrops. What they do is deterioriate cystine crystals which up build in the eyes and damage the cornias and eventually lead to blindness.
