Ok, now I've seen everything

I mean...what? Is there a drug for everything now? I just saw a commercial for this on tv. Before long we'll have a prescription drug for hangnails. If we don't already.

I think mascara is nuts regardless! I hate that stuff. LOL

But yeah, I saw that drug commercial on TV too... I could hardly believe it. There really is a prescription drug for everything!

If they can grow longer thicker hair, and eyelashes are specialized hairs...I wonder if this is a by-product of rogaine...

Isn't it weird how the world is evolving? Yet we are not ready for change. lol

There's a product that is sprinkled on food and it makes the user eat less by tricking the users mind. It's called Sensa.

It also stated that once you stop using the product the full lashes go back to the way they originally were. It was in fine print on the commercial.

You gotta love the "Make A Wish Foundation" stamp on it. Make a dying kids dream come true and get fuller longer lashes while doing it!

ACCCCK no wonder the healthcare system is messed up!
They really do shovel medicines down our throat these days!
I went from 12 different meds pre-pregnancy to 2 meds, my nexium and blood pressure meds.
They had me on one that caused me to need another to counter act side effects and so on.... then one that would hype me up so bad I needed one to make me sleep... Im not kidding people! The craziness of this "modern healthcare".

No kidding. When Mom got out of the hospital last year, she was on so many different medications - pill a and b had to be taken on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before food - pill c and f could not be taken at the same time - pill d and e had to be taken at least 5 hours apart, but d had to be taken at least 3 hours after c and 2 hours before f and... ugh! Mom had pills spaced out 6 times a day around the clock - 5 of those times with food. It was a pain! Fortunately, she is down to pills 4 times a day and 3 meals a day and it's still a hassle, but not as bad as it was right at first.

If I remember correctly, they discovered that glaucoma patients on glaucoma meds grew longer, thicker lashes, and so started marketing the glaucoma medicine as 'eyelash growers'....

But the creativity they have to use to get away with the commercials is pretty slick
