"Anti-tumor" is the same thing as "chemotherapeutic. Other countries can do
with those drugs what they like. In this country, bleo and doxo are used to
treat cancer, not infections. The reason is simple - that is how they
work... not to mention they're dangerous medications. But that's not the
issue here. The issue, Rita, is whether or not you really believe that all
people should be able to self prescribe medications such as bleomycin.
Apparently you think it might be good for the common cold.

Now... while I agree that such a policy would quickly weed out the mentally
challenged (ex, you'd have killed yourself long ago) I don't find that a
sound public health policy.

So what's it going to be? You do or do not think all people should be able
to prescribe chemotherapy drugs?
