Recently I discovered I have issues with gluten, which is found in a lot of prescription drugs, supplements, and foods. Unfortunately, doctors and pharmacists are not always familiar with this fact, so I have to call each and every drug company before I accept a medication. Nearly every time the drug company rep will say, "There are no gluten products in the active ingredients. HOWEVER, we purchase our inactive ingredients from other manufacturers/sources and we cannot account for what may be in their ingredients." For me, this is unacceptable. I need to be on a blood pressure medication, but I cannot locate a doctor who is: 1) knowledgable on the subject of gluten-free products; 2) on my HMO plan; and 3) able to communicate the importance of these precise needs/issue to my pharmacist. I, for one, hope that the FDA gets better funding so they can help with my particular situation, as well as all the other problems with food and drug safety!

I wanted to let you know that I'm glad you've decided to charge a subscription rather than take any kind of sponsors or product endorsements. Knowing you are not biased by any company or organization (as is the case with much of the health information we get)is worth the price of a subscription. Thanks for this excellent interview.
