Second Question of the Day February 27, 2015 Anyone else notice that people are questioning some of the comments being posted on the CBS story? Also isn't it clear from some of the comments that some people are still not clear on whether compounded products are FDA approved are not?

@NewDegas You have fallen for internet woo. The FDA is protecting you even if you fail to protect yourself.
 If this is a fake post by a compounder, you should be ashamed of yourself. Your fake sites don't fool me, either, even if they fool millions.
