The website is biomedcomm.com and it is Dr. Brewitt. I would suggest that

Hi Gill

Welcome to this list. My daughter was diagnosed with

PA after about 4 years of pain and 'weird' illnesses

so I can really sympathise with you. All her tests and

x-rays have been negative. A naturopath said she had

Fibromyalgia. The Rheumatologist diagnosed her with PA

but was reluctant to give her any medication other

than what the GP had already prescribed as she was so

young (only 12 years old). I am taking her to the GP

tonight to start some antibiotics -see the Roadback

Organisation website. Hopefully this will give her

some relief. My GP is very understanding and has heard

of the antibiotic treatment for arthritis. She has

known my daughter since she was a baby so really

understands the pain and fatigue she is suffering.

Take care

Sue

Here's some interesting facts.

From a PBS show I just saw, The number One U.S. import to Africa is used

clothes. 95% of all clothing donated to Goodwill or Salvation Army is sold

for 10 - 15 cents a pound, sent to Africa and resold to merchants at a 400%

mark up.

As reported in the Austin Chronicle, Wal-Mart takes out 350,000 life

insurance policies every year on it's employees. The beneficary is Wal-Mart

not the family members of the deceased. The money Wal-Mart pays for the

premium is a tax deduction and the policies are for as much as 3/4 of a

million dollars.

As reported in Life Extension magazine, a 20 miligram bottle of Xanax costs

136.79. The amount of active ingredient in that 20 miligram bottle of Xanax

costs 3 cents, a 569,958% markup

The rest of the top 10

Prozax...224,973% markup

Norvasc...134,493 markup

Tenormin...80,362% markup

Prilosec...69,417% markup

Vasotec...51,185% markup

Prevacid...34,136% markup

Claritin...30,306% markup

Celebrex...21,712 & markup

I have been losing weight slowly but steadily since i started enzymes. adding

no fenol made me very hungry. at first, i ate strangely, only one kind of food

at a meal. that settled down and now i eat sensibly (still gf/cf free) but i

eat huge amounts of food, so much it is scary. i am still losing weight and

rarely want sugar or carbs.

in soup and i have it about 10.30 am. on alternate days i have half a 250 g

capsule of gse. i also have a little brown rice each day and often have a

teaspoon of psyllium husks. seeing i had a very bad yeast problem, i am really

happy. i have heaps more energy, even going for a 1 hour walk at 6 am every

morning.

I gave out body scrubs for Christmas gifts, and now a few friends think I

should start a line of products to sell. One of the friends has a salon and

will buy products from me wholesale to sell in her store... another is

opening up a store and will buy stuff from me too.

However, I have a few questions for those of you who sell personal products

such as this for a living.

1.) Do I need to look into purchasing liability insurance or something along

those lines before selling anything? If so, where should I start looking for

this? Any suggestions on a particular company?

2.) Where can I find info on making sure the products are sterile, they have

enough preservatives, what kind of preservatives, etc.?

3.) Are there health regulations regarding these types of products? If so,

where can I find out what regulations my products need to meet?

I'd appreciate any info you could give me. The products I am thinking would

be salt/sugar scrubs... lotion, massage oil, soap, maybe shampoo and lip

balm. Of course, I'm planning on taking one step at a time and starting with

just the scrubs.

Thanks!

All,

I hope the old snip and reply format isn't too annoying ;-)

Hi ,

Thanks for replying, got a few quick questions and some typically sarcastic

remarks (of course =0)

>From: Fuller

>Hey Bill, <SNIP> we all are held back to the Protacals of the states that

>we work in.

Don't we know it. Here in NY I worked the previous two summers at a camp

which required of me controlling the Rx meds of any campers/staff under

18yo.. Each summer when the Dept. of Health inspected they told me that

they thought there was a possible professional liability in giving children

their own pre-prescribed meds to self-admin!!! Luckily here in NYC we've

got a clear section in our protocols that say you can let a pt. self-admin

their own meds.

>I will tell you if we become as powerful as the Nurses Assocation,

>Paramedic will be bridging to P

>Physican Asst. then Nurse like in some state are offering.

I totally agree, personally I'd like to see a branch of PAs dedicated to

EMS... preferably something where they did all the PA-C type stuff then went

on to specialize in PHC... street time as a tech or medic would be a nice

requirement, and could be fulfilled while acquiring the education straight

out of HS... speaking of that there really needs to be a clear carreer path

for people to come to EMS out of primary education... something where you

start out college with your EMT-B course and work to Paramedic (hard for me

to rate EMT-I as we don't use them in NYC, however NY has two ILS levels,

AEMT-I and AEMT-CC (Advanced EMT -intermediate and Critical Care, medic is

AEMT-P here) but with street time inbetween and the option to go towards

nursing of some sort or a PA type thing or just a more advanced degree in

EMS management etc, but that would have additional skills etc attached.

>Just a little hint on nose bleeds <SNIP>

That was my Tx Plan... I was merely commenting on how many people in said

bar had other ideas for my friend... Funny thing is, since I don't have a

car, I always lug around a pack with all my junk and a small but decent

trauma kit, including a couple nosebleed tampons... we'd left it on my

kitchen table as my buddy and our friend were annoyed that I was taking so

long to get ready... didn't even have gloves in my pocket!

>Medication OTC Afrin Nose Spray causes contrictions if they are ASA user.

Do you mean to say if the Pt is already taking ASA or just if they aren't

contraindicated? I never heard that one, however a few drops (bout 8) of

Visine in your coffee will give you the shits something awful!

>There so much more you can learn buy trying to get in a Paramedic Course,

That's my plan... just when to take it and where... I'm kind of

underwhelmed by the courses offered in the area, but taking it out of town

kinda alienates you from the already cliqueish world of NYC EMS... might

just go to the one place cause Arby's is around the block!

>I have a AAS degree I was Grand fathered before they made it mantitory to

>get futher in are field it is a nice requirment to be a Medic. I feel like

>it helps me in my job and daily life.

It's actually pretty rare around here for medics to do it for a degree or

even for credit at the school they're taking it at... most of the AAS

programs are something like: year of general studies and EMT-B if you arent

then take the medic class... I'd rather take the medic class and go do the

other stuff another day... Why waste a year of tuition and another year at

EMT pay on that stuff when I could move upto medic and make enough extra

money in the first year to pay for the class and another 2 years of school

on top of the average tech's pay... it's one of the reasons I wish one of

the ILS levels were used here... I decided early in my tech class that I

would wait a while before trying to become a medic, but I would have gone

right to Intermediate or Crit. Care from there as there isn't that 'no BLS'

experience stigma to deal with from those who work BLS... enough straight to

medic types around here who get no respect that I caught on quick that a few

years of trauma and minor bs before spending my days with CP and CVA calls

couldn't hurt =-)

>Good luck to you

Thanks! The best to you as well!

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood your comments about

PA's and nurses etc .Nor am I sure that caught the

nurse paramedic PA path correctly but let me weigh in

here because it seems that there sre some

misunderstandings about the PA and nurses........I am

a former EMT(infact one of the first in the country),

and a EMT-Paramedic( also a n " early bird " that went

on and became a PA " in the early days " . I currently

practice Emergency Medicine, act as medical control

for Pre-Hospital emt's and paramedics, am a SAR

medical Director...and have spent the last twenty-five

years in and around pre-hospital emergency medicine,

medics and the like in a variety of locations - remote

and otherwise.

I am a member of SEMPA the Society of Emergency

Medicine PA's- there are a bunch of the 55,000

Practicing PA's that have come out of the EMS system

either as management or evolving from the traditional

EMT to Paramedic pathway.Many PA's and NP's teach in

the Prehospital system... ie: PHTLS, ACLS, PALS ETC...

I am a Board member of the new American College of

Clinicians- dedicated to improvement and education of

PA's and NPs..Physician Assistants and Nurse

Practitioners and there are many Nurse practitioners

in Emergency Medicine.

The current pathway will always involve a Parametic or

EMT to apply and attend a PA program and /or nursing

school and then Nurse Practioner program..AND

postgraduate Emergency Medicine training. The concept

of " Bridging, while attractive is unlikley for PA. and

one does NOT become a PA and then a Nurse like the

nurse is " better " or " higher " in a medical career

ladder.

While many remote medics will function somewhat like a

PA or an NP ,the paramedic training and governence

systems in Great Britian vs the US are quite

differant- though end skills for each are somewhat

similar.

In the end,clinical needs and skills will always

evolve higher and higher and people n the field will

develop, hopefully to their fullest potential- but

lets remember that not all the jobs are

interchangeable- many a fine PA or nurse orNurse

practioner would be absoluley lost ina remote medic

setting !!

Didn't mean to get off on a rant here...Gerry

I went to WholeFoods Market last weekend. They had a

shelf full of all kinds of sea salts from all over the

world. They came in different colors and flavors,

believe me, they had pure smoked sea salts too and

colored grayish black. Tasted good ... They were all

pretty expensive. One was as much as almost $40 a lb!

The pink ones were pretty expensive too.
