but it is a political issue. People definitely get a little shaken when they
realize that they might have a govt that on one end tries in some way to
protect its citizens , hence the epa but on another guts rules for polluters
, didn't maximize alternative energy funding till too late, and doesn't care
that people are being adversely affected by pollution. We have a press that
basically goes along with this, so it is a political issue too. Just notice
how personal people get when you suggest  why its important to know why you
have to take these meds in the first place or why they should care to know
why its happening ..
 What I have seen from trees going down to people unable to exercise when
health experts tell you to, to record number of commercials for asthma, and
sinus meds and cancer clinics etc, is beyond belief. I think its not
happening to all communities but allot of communities. If I can find a
million links to pollution and asthma or respiratory disease yet people in
general still think often enough that pollution is not a big problem , you
know why Bush wins elections.
Asthma might have many reasons for its cause but the biggest ones are often
not  reported. The fact that so manykids are affected is a crime , when govt
can do more to ease the situation tomorrow. Epa  or gov officals  I think
has modified its views and asked for attorneys to make suggestions as to
what to do or suggest to help do more for states complaining about the
quality of air in their regions. So obviously all this complaining might
ultimately find its mark even if its to the disappointment of Bush bots  in
one way or another. You have people here who have agendas, be it treating
asthma or not wanting to see the correlations with pollution, or not caring
why they need medication. At first I didn't prove my case, then I was nuts
and now I don't have a job. This is even the mentality of Drs. who get up in
arms when their control is in question and so you now know why oil and
energy have this power to begin with .

So doc your worried about me telling people about the association between
pollution and asthma  and the millions of links more or less because a, I
provided no links and b, when I did, the word may was used. And your
prescribing anti bacterial meds for asthma?  No that can't be. This must be
a mistake....

Your worried about my associations with pollution and asthma because all
those links don't say MUST cause asthma . Yet you are prescribing meds for
conditions that have much much less studies  in cause and effect . Seems a
little hypocritical.
For years and even now some people would argue that mandating  cigarette ads
with warnings is  or was a bit premature    because majority of people still
dont get lung cancer who smoke. Seems like when there area million links and
more kids getting sick in certain states, more people need to get this
information, not meds to fight it after they are poisoned. or hypocritical
docs worried about my providing this information.  So Doc it seem like your
worried about semantics instead of helping people.

Yet he is prescribing meds
