SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS: US MAIL NOW IRRADIATED

===============================================

The following statement is taken directly from a US

Postal Service bulletin, " Latest Facts Update " , dated

January 29, 2002: " Irradiation can adversely affect

some mailable products, such as biological samples,

diagnostic kits, photographic film, food, eyeglasses

and contact lenses. Electronic devices would likely be

rendered inoperable and drugs and medicines also can be

affected. "

Our recent discussion with the US Postal Service

confirmed that an increasing amount of the US Mail in

the Eastern US is now being routed through special

facilities in Trenton, New Jersey and Cleveland, Ohio,

for the purpose of irradiation to destroy the presence

of any biohazardous material. Contracts have been

issued for purchase of new irradiation equipment to

expand this practice to other areas of the country.

Irradiation of the mail poses serious health concerns

relating to shipments of health supplements, which is

one of the reasons that Nutri-Meds now ships only

through UPS (United Parcel Service) and has changed our

order and returns policies. There are some very

important health issues that you need to know about...
