Not that you're wrong, but my observation was more about how "soft plastic chamber" and "pressures that medically beneficial hyperbaric chambers operate at" don't seem to be compatible. |
| MrMobodies:
I wouldn't know, my observation is their disclaimer on everything "Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or *prevent any disease." And yet they display a product: that prevents or eliminates: ... * toxic fumes, mold spores, bacteria, some viruses. So this thing is marketed as but not intended to "prevent" the above. |

That's the world we live in. Get used to it. |

Get use to it? Nothing to get use to but I find it nice to bring it to light. I research everything I buy.after being I being fobbed off many many times before even what may seem under a different world then 2 decades ago. In fact something what still remains that the FDA is trying to ban is that useless placebo cough medicines with that nazal spray thing they put in it, phenylephrine. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/11/08/fda-proposes-removing-phenylephrine/76126750007/ --- Quote ---Ineffective cough syrup ingredient should be axed officially, FDA says Reuters 1 month ago. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed removing oral phenylephrine, widely used in cold and cough syrups, as an active ingredient in over-the-counter drugs for nasal congestion, stating it is not effective, the health regulator said Thursday. Phenylephrine is widely used in a variety of over-the-counter flu and cold medicines, including popular products such as Benadryl, Advil, and Tylenol. It is also an ingredient in nasal sprays to treat congestion. However, the FDA's action is only related to orally administered phenylephrine and not the nasal spray form. Last year, an outside panel of experts made headlines when they unanimously voted against the effectiveness of orally-administered phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant, adding that no more trials were required to prove otherwise. Companies such as Procter & Gamble and GSK were among several accused in lawsuits of deceiving consumers about cold medicines containing the ingredient. For now, companies may continue to market drug products containing oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. The FDA will also start seeking public comments on its proposal to axe the ingredient.However, the FDA said it would provide manufacturers with appropriate time to either reformulate drugs containing oral phenylephrine or remove such drugs from the market. --- End quote --- During the first lockdown I had a chest infection and I was fobbed off by this nurse on the phone not wanting to book me an appointment to see a GP or help prescribe Galpseud Plus, a cough medicine mixture of chlorphenamine and pseudrephrine that I ran out of. She told me it was now banned on the NHS (not all true a specialist can still apparently order it as one did a year later) and she went on about lot of choices over the counter... like Lemsip I said "You GOT to be joking... They are bloady useless, not even real lemon in there and the reason I stopped taking those and many others as they did nothing but caused me stuffier throat, dehydration and shorter breath until I stopped taking them. They have this useless ingredient in them called phenylephrine and many others that I think give cough medicines a bad name. That Galpseud Plus mixture of chlorphenamine and pseudrephrine seems to actually work well for me out of the many I have taken over the decades. At first I didn't believe my GP who prescribed it to me many years ago in 2017 with some antibiotics for a bad chest infection, thinking they were all the same and reluctant to take it but after 4 seconds of the first spoonful it soothed all my throat and felt my ears pop. Then I compare them by ingredients and find out as to why something that is so good and effective that actually works seems so unheard of to me, out of reach and hard to get. Then I found the reason was that drug dealers were using cough medicines with pseudrephrine and chlorphenamine mixtures to help create their drugs which is why it was made it prescription only which forced drug makers to find alternatives one of them being that phenylephrine. |

However, phenylephrine has been found to be useless, and the FDA has banned it from OTC drugs. In Illinois, to obtain pseudoephedrine (as in SudafedTM), I have to get it from the pharmacist who registers my purchase to make sure I'm not fronting for a meth lab, but it does not require a prescription. |
