   The interesting part is they are paying the PFDA to develop a website
about the dangers of dextromethorphan abuse. *I* am currently #1 on
Google for a search on "dextromethorphan" and "Coricidin". Check for
yourself. Basically, they just announced publicly that they are paying
the PFDA to set up a website to compete with mine in the marketplace of
ideas. Hey, I believe in freedom of the press, and if they want to, so
be it. The interesting part is that I have done SEO (search engine
optimization) professionally for several different clients already. All
who are currently ranking well. :) I wonder if they'll hire their own
SEO to try and outdo me? I like a challenge. :)

  And, I compliment you on noticing they tried to deflect attention to
DXM, when a substantial part of the problem is that Coricidin has an
added anticholinergic drug. Not that this is a big secret. The #1 site
on Google on a search for "Coricidin" makes this perfectly clear. ;)

   Not really. If this is their idea of competetion, this does not bode
well for them. ;)
