Monday, June 23, 2008


Imgaine:
You have been back in spore for 12days now, and the itch u got on like, 5th of june, is stil swollen, and itchy, and u sometimes finds urself scratching urself awake at nite at 5am... den seeing the little mosquito bite swollen and bleeding from ur scratching.. What would u do?

You would want a cure. You would try anything. But nope, after some 5 different creams, eating pills and 3weeks later, it stil itch and swell, u are... :(

Then one day, someone passed u a miracle cure, that the swelling went down the following day after application. After nearly 1 mth of itching, scratching, swelling, someting works, works WONDERS!

You wanna buy and ask ur mum to check it out, and she tells u its not for sale... and you found that the alleged miracle is highly condemned everywhere... rather, it is a restricted drug in spore. What would you do?

Would you stil use it? Would you stil seek it out?

Quotes from this aricle

The creams containing steroids were:
  • 999 cream contained a very high concentration of one of the most potent types of steroid, dexamethazone. Its thirty times more powerful than hydracortizone.
  • Weifugao contained traces of the same steroid.
  • The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency, is vigorous in prosecuting suppliers who distribute such products. GMTV has notified them of our findings. They have issued this statement:

    "We understand that many people value herbal remedies, such as traditional Chinese medicines and are keen that people carry on having the choice to
    use them. Nevertheless there no reliable way, at present, for the public to identify those products which could be unsafe.

    "When buying these remedies people should always be aware of the possibility of low quality or illegal products. They should not take them if they are not labelled and include a list of ingredients in English.

    Even then, clear labelling is not in itself a guarantee of good quality standards. When seeing their doctor or pharmacist people should always inform them that they are taking a herbal remedy."
