So what you are saying is that unless it is FDA-approved, it cannot come in, and it is FDA-approved, meaning the Food and Drug Administration, which is the overseer, the czar of what is safe, approves it, then it can be purchased through the Internet or overseas and brought into the United States, because, as you said earlier, it is manufactured at the same facilities. So there is really no pricing differences except they get price differences there than here. So they are FDA-approved.
