Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 You are correct, the Ionic Breeze Air Purifier does not have a fan but it does produce slight air movement, but nothing like a HEPA air purfier, but you save money on electricity and expensive filters...............but the bottom line is that it is not as effective as a HEPA air purifier in moving contaminated air thru the machine and would not be very effective in a highly contaminated home, but you would not want to stay in that environment anyway and try to get the HEPA to protect you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 re molds, > > starting to sound like a cult, code words and all. > Remember the audience here Dr. Dunne - This is not a list subscribed to by the average citizen but from many damaged people. " Code " words are used because we all know what they mean from tragic personal experiences. Many are too ill to frame scientifically correct, annotated posts - shared experience allows for the short hand. We are not referring to ALL forms of molds in ALL amounts as being dangerous to ALL people. However, just because a substance is ubiquitous in the environment (like pesticides!), does not mean it is harmless. Also, our continuous exposures to many synthetic toxicants around us reduces our ability to manage the natural ones, particularly in buldings with very poor ventilation (recirculated air).

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Dear All, may already have put a message on to this effect but I just wanted to congratulate Woody on a brillient inaugural lecture last Friday evening. It was a very memorable event in which his use of visual aids and audience participation was used to great effect to engage us all in understanding his long standing research into the impact and effects of alcohol abuse. Thank you Woody for your lecture and your enormous contribution to extending our knowldege about alcohol and many other public health issues.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi, I was on PegIntron and Ribavirin for 48 weeks and the virus, which had cleared at about 8 weeks and then came back during my 48th week. That was in 2003. Now I'm in the middle of another 48 week treatment with Pegasys and Ribavirin. I cleared the virus at 6 weeks and I'm hoping that I'll have a better result this time. I just gave myself a year off and tried something new. I don't know which treatment he's on but I hear Pegasys is better. There are new things on the horizon to treat this virus. He can try again or wait for something new to come out. I have cirrhosis, so I wanted to keep trying. If your boyfriend only has early stages of Hep C, with mild fibrosis, he may want to wait. But, that's just my opinion and I'm not a medical professional. Just going on my experiences.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Thanks for your reply .. Sorry to hear that you have to go through the treatment again. Is the 2nd time any different with respect to meds, the way you feel, or any other ways? Tom, my special guy, is very apprehensive about repeating treatment and in fact his doctor has never treated anyone whose treatment failed. His insurance company also is a problem for him. I have forwarded your first reply to him. Hopefully he will contact you himself. We both know the value of a support group. Best to you, --------------------------------- Start your day with - make it your home page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
