Pork insulin available online without a doctor's letter

In the US, the discontinuation of pork insulins by Lilly has lead to a lot of distress for the people who need it and especially for those who are unable to tolerate GM synthetic human and analogues insulins.

It is possible to import pork insulins [and beef] on a personal importation basis from Wockhardt UK but this process requires a letter from a doctor in the US stating that pork insulin is essential teatment. But the problem that many people have encountered is that they cannot find a doctor who is prepared to write the necessary letter.

Wockhardt UK received marketing approval for Hypurin Regular Pork and Hypurin NPH Pork insulins in Canada early in 2006 and it is possible to buy these insulins over-the-counter in Canada - without a doctor's letter. But obviously this means a trip to Canada!

After much searching, IDDT-US has found a pharmacy that will provide Hypurin Regular Pork and Hypurin NPH Pork insulins by ordering online without a doctor's letter and without all the other form-filling!!! This has been tried and tested and works - one of our members has already obtained pork insulin this way.
