Welcome, and thank you, Allergy Girl

[Guest guest]

A few days ago " Allergy Girl " -Ginger, joined our group. I would like to welcome

her, and thank her for bringing many helpful options to our attention. One of

the options was " National Allergy " , a medical/household equipment retailer. I

have no financial interest in that company, but I have used them for many years,

for my allergy and asthma needs.

 

Ginger's mention made me look at some emails from National Allergy, that I had

not yet opened, and I was pleasantly surprised at what I found, which I have

copied below. They are totally ignoring the American medical establishment's

stupidity about our suffering, and, based on the World Health Organization's

(WHO) validating of everything we are saying here, on this Board, they, National

Allergy, have bestowed upon us, the one absolutely necessary validating

prerequisite, in the medical community...........AN ACRONYM.

 

They refer to " Sick Building Syndrome " as the " medical condition " " SBS " ! 

 

WOW....As someone who has waded through hundreds of medical journals, I can tell

you that the entire Medical " theocracy " is fixated on ACRONYMS. Nothing that

lacks an acronym is ever taken seriously , by any doctor, as all of us have

found out, when explaining to OUR doctors that we are suffering from Sick

Building Syndrome.

 

If the acronym " SBS " catches on, we will have made a quantum leap, in the

recognition of our suffering and the focusing of the medical community to do

something about it. Below is the email I got (partial) from National allergy.

Feeling Bad? Could Your House Be To Blame?

 

Poor indoor air quality can lead to what is known as Sick Building Syndrome

(SBS). The sick building could be a home, office or school. The World Health

Organization says:

Sick building syndrome (SBS) describes a medical condition in which people in a

building suffer from symptoms of illness or feeling unwell for no apparent

reason. The symptoms tend to increase in severity with the time people spend in

the building, and improve over time or even disappear when people are away from

the building. SBS results in substantial disruption of people's work performance

and personal relationships, and considerable loss of productivity. SBS is

widespread and may occur in offices, apartment houses, nurseries and schools,

resulting in substantial costs to the community. Even though the cause-effect

relations are unclear, it is possible to modify buildings with SBS problems.

 

You usually cannot tell by looking at a house, school or office building that it

is sick. This cute little house could have Sick Building Syndrome and be causing

its inhabitants to have mysterious illnesses.

 

 In his book, My House Is Killing Me, C. May advises:

Believe Your Body

Study Your Body's Reactions

Identify And Remove Probable Sources Of Irritants

Turn To A Professional When Necessary
