Re: OT: How to air out...

[Guest guest]

I found this explanation as to how the Air Sponge works:

http://www.inspiredliving.com/health-wellness-center/index1.html

As an ex-MCS sufferer and someone who still needs to be careful about

chemical exposure I can say that my own experience is that using the

Air Sponge far outweighs any possible negative consequences. Anyone

who can't use the Air Sponge would be passing out in the room from the

fumes anyway.

I would suggest gifting the school or the principle the book Tired or

Toxic by Dr. Sherry . She makes it very clear with proof that

chemical sensitivity exists and how it happens. This has nothing to

do with asthma! What a silly concept. These people at the school are

sadly misinformed but then so is most of the rest of the world.

I can't say for sure about the perfume/teacher issue as all people

have rights, not just the ones perfume wearer. Obviously the right to

fresh air should come first but sadly isn't always so. The teachers

should respond positively to the book since it's indisputable

(scientific enough to please these types) and also explains how a

combination of situations may need to occur in order for MCS to start.

Some people may get leukemia while others only get a runny nose. It

will typically affect the brain though in just about everyone which is

of course the last thing anyone at the school should want to see happen.

I know what you mean about Walmart. I hate the place too and Air

Sponge is about the only reason I go there. It's also the cheapest

place to buy it. Our local hardware store sometimes has it but that

place reeks too.

foot the bill, but if it's something YOU are paying for and will

benefit all of the children... I understand your frustration! Well,

I'm certainly not the favourite parent at my kids school right now

either ;-) I think they want me and all of my " extreme " ideas to go

away...

something is similar to ingesting it...)

to make sure if I put this in my daughter's sensory room I won't be

adding to the toxin issue.

reading to let me know if the Air Sponge or any other air filtering

device is working effectively to eliminate toxins?? I'm particularly

concerned about measuring levels of PCVs from the vinyl floor mats.
