If I didn't know better I would think http://www.diseasescausedbyfungi.com/5030/rare-eye-diseases-treatment/ has some inside information the rest of us don't know about.

Comment on Rare Blood Diseases Cgd by Mary Hurley

It was so good to see “Clayton’s Story” of Clayton, John, Marty and Dr. Lederman. It lets people know the struggle that patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) have and the hope for a cure. If CGD can be cured through gene therapy, this knowledge will help so many other medical disorders in a quest for a cure. Thanks so much.

Comment on Diseases Found in Dogs by Mark

Actually, with the latest 2c strain of Canine Parvo, cats can become infected – they develop what’s known as Feline Parvo, Feline Distemper or Feline Panleukopenia.

Symptoms are more or less identical to those that dogs get with Canine Parvo.

This does make sense given that it is believed Canine Parvo was a mutation of Feline Parvo in the 1970s.

Comment on Top 10 Common Diseases by rich

“At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, resulting in watery eyes.”

Is an accurate statement for acuate (short-term) exposures. This article is discussing residential exposures. There are chronic or long-term exposure.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessments lowered their recommended residential exposure limit to just 0.007 ppm or 7 ppb.

Studies show children have decreased lung function at 30 ppb.

I would encourage every parent to test their home’s formaldehyde concentration on a warm summer day. I would want it to be as low as possilble.

The California Air Resources Board released a report on Dec 15, 2009 that indicated that:
“Nearly all homes (98%) had formaldehyde concentrations that exceeded guidelines for cancer and chronic irritation…”

Clearly, formaldehyde in homes is a wide spread issue and should be lower than your article inidated.

Formaldehyde is linked to asthma which is increasing in children despite cleaner outside air, few smokers, and more awareness about second hand smoke. Nobody is looking at the residential environment, which is where young children spend the vast majority of their times. Formaldehyde levels of 100 ppb is unfortunately common when just a few years ago it was 14 ppb.

In 1978 California’s first residential energy code was effective. These homes came available in 1979. At low levels people need long term exposure before the negative health effects show. It is no surprise that asthma rates among children started to increase since 1980. So the homes got sealed the rate increased. With recent energy codes the amount of tightening has decreased as there is little left to do and the asthma rates are stablizing. Clearly not prove of anything, but it sure is frustrating that NOBODY is paying attention. Also interesting to note that “green” homes that are required to exceed the CA Energy code by 15% have higher formaldehyde concentrations than homes that simply meet the code. So “green” can be better for the environment but at the sametime unhealthy for the occupants. One key question is ‘How ‘green’ is a home that sits vacant because the occupants were forced out to preserve their health?’

Testing for formaldehyde using the Sierra Club method of passive ACS badges is cheap ($39 including lab analysis) and easy enough anyone that can follow a couple simple instructions can do.

Comment on Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Pathogen by Nancy

Nancy — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 09:58:51 +0000

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the syndrome resulting from the ascent of microorganisms from the vagina and cervix to the uterine endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or contiguous abdominal structures. Many episodes of PID go unrecognized, because of lack of symptoms or mild, nonspecific symptoms (eg, dyspareunia, abnormal bleeding, and vaginal discharge). Infecting organisms may include Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis , which are sexually transmitted, and anaerobic bacteria (Gardnerella vaginalis or Haemophilus influenzae) , gram-negative rods (Escherichia coli) , Streptococcus agalactiae , gastrointestinal flora, and mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma hominis) , which may not be sexually transmitted. PID is coepidemic with HIV among some urban populations of reproductive age.

The definition of euthanasia is “the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependant human being for his or her benefit.” By this definition one could not undergo euthanasia for “helping the family out” even for financial situations.
