follow the money...if you would take your eye off of Downing Labs for a second and look at some of the other players you may not submit into a witch hunt. your posts about this seem to be going that route.

Did the person making this comment even watch the CBS report? I think the reporters did follow the money and showed that by the report. I hope law enforcement will be asking the same questions as asked here in addition to many more. If the one posting the comment has information as they suggest they do by saying follow the money, then they should report that information to the state board of pharmacy or law enforcement.

I said this to slow things down a bit...the bad press was centered on the pharmacy first thing. think about this for a minute. Who else can profit from this. The pharmacy filled a prescription from a doctor. Isnt that what they are supposed to do? Then you have the Doctor who signed off on the prescription. What did he gain? and the person who solicited the patient from the get go, the marketing company. The reporters stopped at the pharmacy. they didnt ambush the Doctor or the marketing company, they went after the pharmacy. and yes, i did watch the report. However, i was taught long ago that"it takes two to tango". in this case it takes three. So I repeat myself...follow the money.

See recent post entitled: Utah medical company is focus of scathing CBS News investigation - KUTV, and as part 2 of the CBS report stated the FDA is also investigating.
