excellent thread Jed, thank you for doing all this for us

Ditto, ditto.. or is that redundant. Wiki was rated as being as accurate as one of the leading 'printed' encyclopedia.. or is the plural encyclopedii? I don't recall whether it was World Book, Groliers or Britannica.. BUT, even those do have their mistakes. So, if someone sees something in these links that seems to contradict what they've heard elsewhere, a wise move is to verify info from another source.. perhaps one 'expert' in a specific subject.

Tysabri and cimzia are two more biologics for you to add. Canasa I believe is a form of 5-asa suppositories. Also maybe the common antibiotics like flagyl and any others people can come up with.
