I worked at an Eckerds back in the day. Walking out the door was like stepping into heaven.

What are you looking for FDA approval? Don't you think it is a little blasphemous to even consider subjecting the snake oil that man of God is selling to FDA scrutiny?
This is a matter of faith, damnit!

(61,697 posts)Silver sulfadiazine, sold under the brand Silvadene among others, is a topical antibiotic used in partial thickness and full thickness burns to prevent infection.
This is a public health hazard, whether it is Silvadene or not. Someone might believe they have cured their VD, and not get it treated properly. Then they go spread it around. Another VD epidemic.

(13,570 posts)They slathered it on my 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Don't know if it was all that good, but I was in tremendous pain so would let them do anything.
Did it cure my VD? Oh, didn't have any. LOL

(61,697 posts)Very soothing on poison ivy, too. But I wouldn't rely on it for treating VD.
