The FDA ...Interesting question about the FDA issue. The FDA has approved henna for the hair but not the skin, but that is because there is so much tattoo henna at festivals and boardwalks and such. Tattoo henna may contain harmful additives. Pure henna doesn't. <BR/><BR/>Since the story ran I'm hearing from people with the most heart breaking stories of pain. So is WBZ radio. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Dr. JT, my hope is that a pharmaceutical company could extract the active ingredient from henna and test that, perhaps in lotion or ointment form. Who else has the ability to do that -- and also has a big interest in it, too, since people would be able to take more Xeloda.<BR/><BR/>I'll be curious to see what the answer may be to your question, Anne. Truth is, oncologists use many off-label products for side effects. If something works, they'll recommend it. They seem to be able to live with the liability risk, and I bet it's because they see the patients face-to-fact. Or face-to-foot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-79860900291496347702008-08-12T12:04:00.000-04:002008-08-12T12:04:00.000-04:00Dear Mr. Levy,I have been enjoying your blog - I a...Dear Mr. Levy,<BR/><BR/>I have been enjoying your blog - I am becoming a regular reader. <BR/><BR/>Do the companies have anyone called a community liaison or some such? This would be a perfect job for them.<BR/><BR/>I agree that this could be very helpful to oncology patients. There must be someone who wants to do a clinical trial, right?<BR/><BR/>Dr. JTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-67014788871113403422008-08-12T10:04:00.000-04:002008-08-12T10:04:00.000-04:00It would also be interesting to learn if the compa...It would also be interesting to learn if the company could have even linked or a referred a customer to this--since it had not been approved or investigated by the FDA. Could you find this out? If, as I fear and believe, the drug company was totally helpless to make this suggestion to a patient--regardless of how high the request made it up the chain of command--or to the patient's family, simply because of FDA, then henna may, of course, not be the only available, effective, and not widely known palliative.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916187234293845661noreply@blogger.com
