Vicodin, Percocet, Tylenol to be banned?

EXCERPT:
acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the 1,600 cases seen each year in the United States, according to a 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate.

These drugs are far more dangerous than alternatives such as vitamins, herbs, and homeopathics.  Yet if there is even one fatality that might even possibly be linked to an alternative therapy, the FDA jumps in to ban and/or confiscate it (remember the big hullabaloo about the amino acid Tryptophan in 1989?). (See: http://www.lef.org/fda/fdaban95.html) All the while, Big Pharma drugs are causing all kinds of havoc.
