A number of prominent doctors have advocated for the use of the drug stating their dismay at the controversy over it’s use.

We’ve used it for years to treat RA and lupus where patients use it on a daily basis with very little consequence,

said Dr. Mehmet Oz, on Hannity radio show. He noted other MD’s hes spoken to are not sure what the controversy is about. A growing number of physicians are prescribing the drug, as data continues to prove benefit.
