as I was talking to Miles about the possibility of a conspiracy to keep the
consequences of pollution from the population as a major reason for major
illness and asthma, I got to think about pollen and allergies. I an my
brother got tested for allergies when we were young. When we eventually saw
a doct for asthma allergy to pollen was said more often then effects from
pollution.So I then got to thinking since we both took meds to counter
allergies , it absolutely did nothing to stop asthma so maybe pollens and
allergies don't help asthma but perhaps like in me,the major irritant is not
pollen, its the ingredients in pollution which has just recently been
counted and anaylzed. Again before you suggest I am paranoid, I know exactly
what causes my asthma and its particulate pollution that reaches moderate or
worse.I see its not mold, its not worms, its not viruses, its level of
pollution that devastates people over and over again if researchers want to
tell you more then particulates can lodge deep in lungs. There is a reason
so little is said, its because so much would have to be done to correct it,
its best to call everything about pollution and green house gas, global
warming. I knew just from that very descriptive general term they didn't
want to or will rarely deal with the consequences of people most affected.
for not doing enough I know in my heart they are hurting allot people and
taking their life out of them slowly.

Doubtful.  Allergy meds have never been very effective.  It helps some
while others see no improvement at all.  Immune therapy helps better
than meds but still seems to help less than 50%.  New allergy treatments
such as Xolair offer hope to many but again, not all.  That does not
mean pollution is the problem.  No drugs help me either.  Current
thoughts are VCD and reflux disease.  Pollution is not the cause and
probably isn't for you.

yeah your right NOT lol
what a joke. when you see the links to damage from pollution or smoke why
you see a big difference? They both are toxic poisons that slowly and some
not so slowly cause a host of problems. Thats what I am saying, its people
like you who are always the last to believe. I don't think its virus or
digestion or reflux although there might be some connections, to me I know
exactly what it is. I can tell you the particulate pollution without seeing
the numbers. and I know you won't believe that, but I will bet 1000 dollars
I can tell the pollution particulate levels , are you willing to put that us
that says I can't. You think I honestly write all this will just a
apprehension and lightly say people are killing me or making me sick? Its
virtually automatic,, . The reason they break these toxins down is because
they do affect people , some at differently levels.  For me when my lungs
start to constrict, its moderate levels of this particulate pollution.
Sometime high ozone does it too. I assure you after a while of this you
begin to notice what causes the constrictions. When I go to mountains after
being in this for long time. and the mountains have lower levels I get no
constrictions. I can tell the poisons in the air. I can tell people are
being affected with this poison over time and I said this before, It can be
proven. Its not a virus its a consistence wearing down of your cells via
this mess and why lung association says pollution affects so many The extent
of which is so underreported its criminal. let me know when objective
studies are going to happen cause I can thnink of tens of ways to prove
damage.

You see what you desire to see.  You ignore places like Mexico City or
Los Angeles because they do not fit your beliefs.

the differences between being killed from smoke or particulate pollution or
pollution which is making this noticable for me in this air is whats in the
readings in our areas. There is no magic why my lungs constrict, its why we
are getting dosed with commericals. No worms, no more viruses in east coast.
no magical bacterial attacks only in my area. what we have is consistent
particulate pollution ( notice coming four days and summer)  that reaches
moderate almost 2/3 of the time during the days . It may not be most total
but its amongst the most days any area reaches this level . There is little
differnce between this and smoking. In fact with smoking you can stop with
this you can't. Sadly this is why we get the most asthma in the country
there is no magic. We have soot from coal due west. we have more people who
don't graduate school, we have the least percent of people with college
degrees living here, the most violent crime in the nation , up to 1/2 of
households have no one working  in it, and the reading levels are the worse
in the nation. I can't sleep , I can't breathe good, I can
t concentrate and I can see why every commerical on tv wants me to get to
their lung center. Miles, you have a hard time understanding what some one
other then yourself goes thru.I am not a scientist and you are not obviously
from what you have said but I think I can make generalizations based on what
I have said and the links to bad effects from pollution. I can easily see
the supreme court not siding with more needs to be done and everything I
said having absolutely no links to damage and still I would swear on a stack
of bibles they are poisoning people downwind like nothing else in this
country consistently and if they wanted they could prove harm like with me
and the number of people who need asthma meds and so on and so on. You ask
lawyers why you can't sue, itts not because worms are the cause I assure
you.

Your area isn't even in the top 10 for asthma sufferers.  I went back
every year to 2004 and still, not in the top 10.

Why is it that anything that goes against what you believe must be a
lie?  Your constant refusal to look at research from all spectrum's
shows your close mindness and complete disregard.  Thanks for proving my
earlier point on that issue!!  Most people who seek solutions are open
to any and all research.  You reject any such that differs from your
views and accept only that which you agree with.  Good grief!!  Can you
be any more blatantly biased?  Too funny!

when you can't find the link that proves the damage don't exist? You know
how many links I had found that don't work anymore. you know how when you to
post on Yahoo after news stories they could actually censor your message
before its even posted, thats how good the best companies are in keeping
information they don't want you to know away. When you do find links they
don't go over why what you said is important , instead like Miles they
concentrate on the one area that might not prove every single time something
is happening important. For instance particulate pollution. Yes some areas
in fact 9 areas have more total amounts but that may not be important then
getting near moderate levels more consistently and more often then other
places. A chart showing cleaner air in 1956 doesn't prove damage now by the
way
Here are the links to most asthma

mean to say when they come out with a graph to support how worse air was
back in 1965 that doesn't disprove there is no damage now or what certain
areas get instead ( soot and coal dust) and people are affected. Follow the
money trail... what most of you don't know is some areas of the US are not
protected. Many people are losing their ability to compete and enjoy life
for energy and I totally believe that. If everyone around the country saw
how many commercials we were getting for lung centers and nebulizers and
asthma studies, you would know some companies and I assume gov know what the
news don't , and we were never ever told about our asthma rates here in east
coast and not far from coal, yet whats to do about it. ? If politicians
don't want change and news media don't want to promote better air people are
not protected from undue harm if above average illness in lots of categories
is any indication.

Show me one shred of evidence that drug companies fight legislation to
reduce particulates so that they can sell more asthma drugs.

drug companies don't have to fight lesilation, they go with the flow and
know where to advertise, they are extremely smart people. If  people think
they advertise for no reason and its not affecting allot of people when more
commericals are on for this reason then practically any other category, your
badly mistaken. I was in othe cities and they never or hardly ever advertise
this much more hospitals and centers and , but its incredible, its so often
here you think your a sitting duck and for good reason. I am a perfect
candidate. To say they would fight legislation is a stretch, to say they
promote drugs while the same media ignores why you need them is not a
stretch. Has drug companies talked to news executives locally? Can You say I
think so? Do they care if I tell people they won't get onset asthma if they
don't exercise or live in moderate particulate pollution? Or will they get
people to nay say me? I suggest they do care a little but there are millions
who don't read these things and so they don't care. in other ways.

You stated there is a conspiracy.  For that to be there must be some
sort of collusion between business, government etc.  You've never been
able to state anything of the sort.

After you read how people die from dust, try to understand thats the same
pollution although probably less intense that people downwind from pollution
get for much longer periods of time. People have to demand that damage that
is provable must be allowed in court in much the same way the people who got
damaged from WTC dust are. just because no one had any desire to prove
consequences before don't mean the damages are not there Why are ceratin
people protected and certain
people not protected. The people with the most asthma and respiratory deaths
and prescription then every city in the nation show damage
conclusions.People downwind no matter where they are
and often have the most consistent pollution should be able to sue to stop
this madness and have the same rights of those non smokers and people harmed
from too much dust from industry or 9/11.
We already know that damage from pollution is a known entity why doesn't
damage that shows two air filters getting black be compared with air filters
in clean air city and compare hospital admissions, rates for asthma and
cancer , stress tests etc? I have done some comparisons and its outrageous
that people in worse areas  have to absorb this while being included in
graphs to show cleaner area with rest of nation without ways to seperate
those who are most affected. There is no way to single
out people like me who have their bodies shut down from this pollution and
why?. What
the fk is going on that we only have lung centers to go to and pay for after
we are poisoned!!!! murderers!!!!!

There are links all over the place to show anything you want.  Trouble
is you reject anything that goes against your views.  You hunt out only
that which you agree with rather than look at all aspects and solutions.
