I avoid these grains because of the gluten. If they are gluten free, then they are not " whole food " , the gluten must have been extracted. This makes me doubt the quality and claims of the supplement. So, does anyone have thoughts on whether someone who is gluten sensitive should take this or not? Thanks Jo .. .. Jo If this is a GREEN food, then the product would contain the green plant part of barley and rye, ie barleygrass and ryegrass and would not contain the seed/grain part. The grain part contains gluten. mjh http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 All the talk about Ozone machines on this site concern me. OZONE is relatively ineffective against mold but very effective against odors according to NIOSH, US Public Health Service. They may be called Ionizing machines or even air cleaners or 100 different names as dealers are trying to hide the fact that they are nothing by ozone generators. NEVER allow these machines to be used with people present in offices or homes. You never know just how much ozone they are actually emitting. I have served as an expert witness where these companies were sued. OZONE is also 500 times more toxic than carbon monoxide gas and 100 times more toxic than hydrogen cyanide gas used in Nazi concentration camps (NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, 1997 comparing OSHA PEL's )..............so why use these machines in homes? Ultrasound bug killers are in the same class, or lack of class, in that mosquitos do NOT hear ultrasound, nor do cockroaches, so why should ultrasound machines drive them away. I put on a debate at the national meeting of the Entomological Society of America many years ago in Detroit with EPA officers present to hear first hand that those machines are absolutely useless...........and the EPA officers commented that they cannot protect the public from harmless and useless devices and " let the buyer beware " .

Is it safe or effective for the person wearing the clothes? I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERCHLOROETHANE AND TRICHLOROETHANE OR TRICHLORETHYLENE THAT IS ON THE CLOTHING WHEN IT COMES BACK FROM THE DRY CLEANERS AND HAVE ALWAYS RTECOMMENDED THAT CHEMICALLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE TAKE THE PLASTIC COVERS OFF IN THE GARAGE AND LET THE CLOTHING AIR OUT BEFORE BRINGING THEM INTO THE HOME. In addition, I am interested in your thoughts about the new technology Sharper Image introduced for its air filters, which it says immediately turns the ozone emitted into oxygen. I SAW THE ADD BUT HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SCIENTIFIC DATA SUPPORTING THE MARKETING CLAIM. Best regards, Beth Dr. L.

I saw the new ad and wondered why they did not recall the one I bought last year from them? Aren't they admitting with the new one that ozone is not healthy to breathe? I want to thank everyone who posted replies to the refusal of the ozone generator company to stand behind their " verbal on the phone " guarantee. Someone mentioned they will clean the air. From my perspective it may clean the air but the odors return within a few minutes so unless what is causing the odors is removed, the effect does not last very long. Oh, this company's brochure says that inhaling ozone is not harmful and that people do it everyday stuck in city traffic. The brochure says to leave the machine on a low level, settings are from 1-10, all day while you are in the house. I guess that is similar to what the sharperimage product was doing.
