"This raises the question as to the real reason for the ban. Is PPA so dangerous that it needs to be taken off the shelves, or is a relatively safe, effective drug being taken off of the market as "collateral damage" of the drug war?"

Precisely.

FWIW, the medical industry is at it again claiming that chiropractors can cause strokes when giving neck adjustments. The doctors want a ban on these adjustments, which have manytimes in the past helped me out of pain. Recalls and laws are regularly used as offensive weapons in turf wars and hidden agendas.

I've found that, as a rule, the scarier the headlines demanding change, the greater the chance that some numb-nuts greedy bastard group is trying to corner a market.

We should have worked together to ban TV as a health hazard when it first came out. Ultra-high voltages in the home?!? Tiny screens causing eyestrain?!! Radiation coming out the front of the tube?!!! Kids becoming hypnotized? We missed the boat, guys.

I dunno... I have never fully trusted (in general) the medical proffesion. There's something seriously wrong when, after hundreds (thousands) of years it's still called "practice." Funk that! Chinese medicine was more advanced thousands of years ago than a lot of it is today, but they still can't give us a 100% affirmative...? Hmmmmmmmm...
