Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Maybe those interested could divide into areas and pitch in on the price and split the masks up. 300 masks and 50 dollars is a lot for something that may not happen. If money were no object, it would be okay. But money definitely is an object for me! >From: " Sandy Mintz " <sandym@...> >Reply-Vaccinations > " Immunizationsgroups (DOT) Com " <immunizations >, ><Vaccinations > >Subject: Masks >Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 15:35:25 -0800 > > > > >http://www.mddepot.com/UnloadBoxcar3of3.cfm?DeptID=1 & CatID=3723 & SubCatID=369 > & ProdGroupID=3723 > >DR.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 I read two articles about Anthrax and colloidal silver is the only known thing that will kill the antrax germs. You can get it at any health food store or GNC store. Should we be attacked there will not be enough antibiotic to go around, most people will receive none, just high officials and Doctors and nurses. You use the colloidal silver as a spray and breath the mist 10 to 15 times per day if you know that you've been exposed to anthrax. Colloidal silver is also wonderful for colds and flu as it kills bacteria in the throat and sinuses so you can keep it on hand for that also, there is nothing better. I have used it and I had the flu only one day, very good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Those of you in the vaccines only group, I'm not sure I've sent you much on what to do in case of a bioterrorism attack. Have I? If not, should I have been? To be honest, even if I sent you some, I'm not sure I've sent it all. Those of you who want everything on the subject, please let me know and I'll try and round it all up for you.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 I do not know if I agree with you. I have read articles that state homeopathic remedies and essential oils that claim to combat it as well. I think the best thing to do is educate yourself on how the disease works and what it is, and than pick what you feel is best for you and your family. >From: BGREEN2286@... >Reply-Vaccinations >Vaccinations >Subject: Re: Masks >Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 22:07:04 EDT > >I read two articles about Anthrax and colloidal silver is the only known >thing that will kill the antrax germs.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Re: FW: Masks I think the best is not to worry about it. We can dig big holes and bury ourselves in them....and then we don't live our lives. They could drop a nuclear bomb on us tomorrow, then what will save us? I don't worry....God will help. Worrying about it or freting about it will do nothing to help matters....plus the terrorists win. The hell with them. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I contacted Stanford and asked about the masks their BMT patients wear. They look identical to the ones pictured. The filter itself might be different. However, these types of masks are rated for asbestos, radioactive particles (radon daughters), lead abatement, and so on. I wear these all of the time and can attest to the fit. I know they make a filter acceptable to Stanford, since you see them all of the time in the cancer center. This is the type of mask I wear on the plane and in the terminal: 3M 1873v Health Care Respirator (P3) The 3M 1872v Valved Healthcare respirator meets the requirements of EN149:2001 FFP3 and can be used to protect the wearer in concentration of solid and non-volatile liquid particles up to 20 times the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) CE Approved. 3M Health Care Respirators comply with the EC Directive 89/686. This product is intended for use in infection control practices. I find the exhalation valve to make the comfort factor about 100 times better than the standard N95 mask. Yes, I realize that an N95 mask will not filter out 100% of viruses. However, I'm interested in preventing airborne particles caused by sneezing and coughing, and those are larger particles. _______________________________________________ That is a 'particulate mask'. They aren't NIOSH or FDA approved for use against pathogens. N95 or N99 is far superior...
