There's nothing like giving people the benefit of the doubt
Phososoda was causing too make cases of nephrocalcinosis and irreversable renal fairure. Some think that anyone who advised it in the past ten years were committing malpractice, especially if the patient was over 65, was on antihypertensives, or was diabetic.
The person who develops a well-tolerated and safe prep will make millions, and won't have to charge much for it because everybody, including me, will be lining up to use it.
