Hmmm... that article was about Clinical Solutions, a fulfillment center for many OPs. True the tropicalrx.com appears to be offline, but the subject was misleading. I was disappointed after reading the article, that there was no mention of TrpoicalRx.comshutting down, just Clinical Solutions.Damn you Iggy! You had methere for a minute smileys/smiley7.gifsmileys/smiley8.gif


Clinical Solutions was a big provider for MyRx, if I remember right. This may have an impact on those affiliated with MyRx. If you remember, EVA had trouble filling orders right after Lifeline pulled it's diet pills.

Yes, it's ALL the OP's fault that this Teenage Boy ended up in the hospital ...


"The boy took the pills (a relative's leftovers Stolen? Given?), liked the effect" Yes -- It's the OP's fault the relative had these painkillers easily available.


(The boy) filled out a simple online questionnaire, lying about his age and complaining of pain, and bought Vicodin ES (for Extra Strength) using his father's credit card.


Yes, -- It's the OP's fault that the boy lies and steals.


I have a teenage daughter. If she Stole my credit card and used it the responsibility of this action lies with Her and with Me for making it (the credit card)too easily accessible -- Not the Store that it was used at, online or otherwise.


These people need to take responsibility for their Own actions -- Stop blaming everyone and everything Else for their problems.


This "Boy" has real problems. Lying and Stealing -- it's Not going to Stop because the father gets the OP shut down.smileys/smiley3.gif

<DIV> I am so very impressed that your crack reporter was able to track down this rougue online pharmacy and with one mighty swoop of the keyboard you were able to discredit an entire industry. Not one mention ofthe thousands oflegitamate online pharmacies that help the millions of poor and uninsured. </DIV>

<DIV>We are at the verge of a new era in health care. An age, with the aid of a new medical technology, will allow the medical community to render services from great distances. This is a new technology, and is evolving into not only a popular means of health care delivery, but also a very safe one also. The percentages of abuse, misuse, or medical disaster has been no greater than that of conventional delivery. The only thing that is different is a great reduction in cost to state and federal governments. Insurance costs have also been greatly reduced as people using the services choose to pay out of pocket for most of these medications.


The future of this industry holds great promise. Technology is being invented now that will allow for delivery of medical services that exceeds current face to face medical encounters. Technology that will perform many of the diagnostic tests in fractions of a second and transmit the results to waiting medical personnel for quick evaluation and treatment. Huge networks are being developed that allows patients to request medications, then medical personnel are dispatched to determine the appropriateness of the use of the requested medication prior to a prescription being issued. Artificial intelligence is being used to pre screen patients for attempted fraud and abuse. This new technology will result in the future of medicine for the next thousand years. Low-cost medications from Canada are now being delivered to patients in the Midwest, who would be making the difficult decision of whether to eat or take their medication otherwise.


There are many medical conditions that affect patients from all walks of life. Conditions that are embarrassing or conditions that could place them at a disadvantage, go untreated because of these factors. Diseases such as Herpes or depression, Conditions, that when left untreated destroy families and communities, and in the end. The cost in human suffering and medical expenses are beyond calculation. There are thousands of patients that are not capable because of extreme disability or impending death to visit doctors' offices. One very disturbing fact is, that more people placed on hospice are choosing suicide, starvation, or dehydration rather than face the suffering brought on them and their families thru inadequate medical care.


Over the last few weeks you have published a series of articles concerning internet pharmacies. You have paraded members of the DEA and FDA into your offices and quoted their words as if they were the Gospel of John. According to your publication there is no room in this world for internet pharmacies. Doctors, Pharmacies, and Webmasters are the perpetrators of a great evil upon the world. I argue that is the same as telling <st1:place>Edison</st1:place> there was no place in this world for the light bulb.

Sorry bout the spelling thing, but i've written so many letters lately my internal spell checker has gone on the fritz. Got any volunteers to help out, it might mean the begining of some sort of organized effort.

when I opened my canada store I was painted as an illegal non-law abiding renegade by the reporter. They wouldn't even publish my letter to the editor after several bashing articles labeling me as "illegal". All I got were calls of worried seniors for days after it all

Star -- It's such a VERY HUGE Shame that the newspapers won't report the other side of the story -- and it seems to get worse -- Not in just the OP business.


Heaven forbid they actually report the truth of Any matter. This leads me to question Everything I see on TV and read. smileys/smiley5.gif
