Anyone know about the FDA ruling to go into law Sep. 16? I just recieved
this and I hope it's not true.

Janet,
I don't know if your message was directed at me or the general immune group.
I use everything from a bandanna 'RAP' mask with a charcoal filter to a
full-blown PAPR (Powered Respirator) unit capable of cleaning the air in a
smokestack for 8 hours, and everything in between. I match my choice of
respirator to the amount of pollution/dust control that I need.
My post was to alert immune members that there are 'in-between' solutions
that can be carried and used without any trouble. Some of the immune group
seem to have never considered using respirators of any kind, or they were
unaware of the odor removing capabilities of the various newer models.
By the way, you'd be surprised at how effective some of the disposables are.
Granted they may not last as long as a canister model, but the better ones
I've used seem to be just as effective at chemical removal. And then when
you consider their very low weight, low cost, easy storage (folded in your
pocket, glovebox, etc.), and 'heat build-up' comfort level, they are a far
better solution for day-to-day activities. Not to mention that if you are
concerned about your appearance to the rest of the world, then the small
disposables become much more appealing to wear.
Just my opinion, as usual...

Disposable masks won't help much for serious pollution. An industrial
grade respirator will however. The best are silicon blue 2000, available
at Sierra Safety in Rocklin Ca. or at other places, I'm sure.

THANKS to Susan and Janet for the help. I will pursue both ideas.
However, with regard to the car air cleaners, do they produce ozone? I
haven't seen air purifiers for cars that don't and I appear to be ozone
sensitive from prior experience with such products.
Update: The insurance company can't understand why I could possibly need
the 02 for asthma and allergies (guess the EI doc didn't go the MCS
route). I am paying for all to start and will work on the insurance
problem as we go along. My EI/allergy doc does not deal with insurance
companies at all - his patients pay up front and then try to get
reimbursed. Does anyone know the proper content for an letter of
medical necessity for this type of justification? I can send it to my
doc for his reference.

thought some on list might be interested in this...
from Herbal Healer Academy:
=======================================
EMERGENCY BULLETIN
FDA going after Colloidal Silver - Nation Wide!!!!
The FDA is going to try and stop the sale of Colloidal Silver!!!! Read the
news brief at http://www.herbalhealer.com/silver.html
The FDA is claiming that it is not safe as a nutritional supplement and must
be placed under the category of a drug. There is a 30 day period in which
the lawyers that represent the Colloidal Silver Industry in this country have
a chance to file an injunction against the FDA. Under the current ruling, I
was told by the manufacturer that the FDA plans to stop the distribution of
Colloidal Silver at the manufacturing level. The deadline for cease and
desist is Sept. 16th. The FDA has been very sneaky about this ruling and the
natural medicine industry is just finding out about it now, as the clock is
ticking!

It would be intersting to see how those with proven hypercoagule state do
on natural anticoagulants such as Vitamin E and Garlic.
There are also several blood thinning herbs (some as natural sources of
coumarin), though the article suggested heparin may be more effective than
coumarin.
I'm not sure th article went far enough in cautioning that one should not
take blood thinners, drug or natural, if hypercoagulability is not a
problem.
Nevertheless, this might be a major clue and breakthrough for many. Don't
know how synthoid effects the blood per se, other than the general
boosting of metabolism. So glad to hear that your energy has improved!
Best wishes,

HI:
I asked about the placebos for you and it appears that what they meant
by 4 placebos is the answere I got below NOT four different solutions.
This was all done by needle testing not sublingual and preservative free
normal saline in glass was used.
"There were 4 injections wiith saline for each person, randomly
distributed. Hence the term 4 placebos out of the 20 so injections., for
each individual."
