Looks like Boyd Haley is pulling OSR#1 following FDA warnings

You may recall a post or two about on this blog about an industrial chelator turned dietary supplement called OSR#1.  It has been used by some to treat autism in children, despite a lack of evidence that it would be safe or effective to do so.  Well after the FDA stepped in recently, CTI Science Inc. appears to be pulling the product until further notice.

Here's an update from Orac at Respectful Insolence which includes part of what appears to be an email from CTI Science president Boyd Haley.  According to that email:
...CTI Science has voluntarily agreed to remove OSR#1® from the market effective Thursday, 29 July 2010.
If you were wondering why they're going to wait until July 29, Orac offers up an answer:
My question is this: Why don't Haley and CTI Science simply shut down production and sales now? Why sell OSR#1 for another week? My guess is that the answer is that Haley wants to milk his cash cow for one more week. All the quacks who "prescribe" or recommend OSR#1 to their clients will rush out to buy a boatload of the stuff before Haley cuts off the supply. It's pure profit, because the stuff costs only $0.25 per gram to synthesize. I don't know what Haley sells OSR#1 for wholesale, but Kathleen Seidel points out that certain retailers sell it for $60 to $105 for 30-100 mg capsules of OSR#1. That's right: $20 to $35 a gram--seriously righteous bucks, a markup of up to 14,000%. Given that the Univesity of Kentucky bore the costs of development, and the packaging and filler can't cost all that much...

My marriage of 23years blessed with two lovely children I can't do without was broken because my wife said we should go our separate ways and handed me a divorce paper and court date has already been fixed, I was confused and for the next 4 months was a living hell for me because I find all means to resolve the problem but my wife was not giving me listening ears. One day I was reading some blogs concerning marital problems and how to resolve them when I saw a lady talked about Dr Oyas saying he is a good man who helped her settled with her man after 9 months of separation. I needed help so I copied his contact dropped by the Lady, I wrote Dr Oyas and explained the situation of my home. He made me to understand that my Wife Ex is the one behind my problems and he just have to free my wife from his grip and she will come back to her senses. I did all that I was told to do, though I was skeptical during all this, but after all is done, my wife attitude towards me started to change and she called off the Divorce. Today I have my family back, all thanks to Dr Oyas I am grateful. If you have anything troubling you and want solution, Dr Oyas is your last stop.
