Barry here of http://www.aircleaners.com Allan , Tell your story to the tens of thousands of happy Alpine owners from around the world that absolutely have not ever had a problem with the very low amounts of natural ozone that these air purifiers produce. These units have been selling like wildfire for years and years because the people that operate them ,love them. There are also tens of thousands of alpine users that will tell you that they think that they feel better when the air purifiers are running. So tell me something. Why aren’t these same people dying , getting sick, or sueing the company for health problems incurred by operating their air purifiers? Its either all of these thousands and thousands of happy air purifier owners are indeed stupid as you state or these people are not stupid and these air purifiers really work! For your information the federal goverment has not ever attacked Alpine because the units are unsafe or dangerous. The Alpine units are safe by goverment standards because they produce only very low amounts of ozone that are well below the goverment standards. The goverment went after Alpine because of claims that were made that could not be backed up by scientific proof. I agree that Alpine really screwed up in that matter even though many thousands of Alpine owners will still back up Alpines old claims. Alpine is now doing what they should have done a long time ago.They are actively testing their air purifiers at medical labs and by scientists from John Hopkins Universty and other environmental safety specialist testing facilities. The latest update in march showed promising results in quickly reducing fungi,airborne bacteria, smoke ,odors and VOCs from areas that were tested. In time I feel that Alpine will be able to back up many more of the old claims with scientific proven facts. I also want to state that I have never pushed ozone -ionizer air purifier units to people with asthma. I provide information on all of our products and on different allergy / asthma related subjects. This one stands out because of the controversy on the newsgroups. I will say that the people that have purchased these units from my company enjoy them . Cigar smokers really love them because of their fantastic ability to quickly remove Cigar Smoke And the Cigar Odors! Mostly I recommend our Austin Air Healthmate and Care 2000 HEPA air cleaners to my customers that have Asthma. These HEPA air cleaners work better in smaller areas like bedrooms and smaller living rooms because the HEPA air cleaners will quickly clear the room of allergens by pulling the particals into the machine itself . The better brand names such as the Austin Air Healthmate and Care 2000 HEPA air cleaners will do this at a much higher rate of air exchange per hour then the cheap dept store units. The Radio ionizers in the Alpine models will quickly drop smoke and particals out of the air to the ground ,thus removing these particals from the floating breathing environment.The radio ionizer will drop particals right through the walls up to 50 linear feet These units are best used in larger areas such as large living -dining room area where its good enough to drop the floating particals out of the air and where even a top quality HEPA air cleaner could not provide an adequate air exchange rate per hour. Many people will use their Alpine in the living room area and also use a good HEPA air cleaner in the bedroom areas for extra control of allergens. Allan you dont know me and you have no idea how I work with my customers. If you did, I doubt that you would call me a vulture. I have always been honest and I have many repeat customers and customer referrals due to the good service that I have always provided to them.You dont have to agree with my veiws, but I can tell you that many other people would not agree with yours either.

Boy this guy knows how to put his best foot forward for customers. I would suggest anyone interested in air cleaners, do themselves a favor and get Consumers Report, so you can purchase a TOP rated model  at a local reputable retailer, like Sears. You will save hundreds of dollars and will be able to return the item if you are not satisfied. Please ask the dealer below if he will return your money if you are not satisfied.. — Mike Cem

The companies that sell ozone machines do so because they make money.

The medical evidence mounting against ozone cleaners bring to mind a simple analogy with a much longer medical study history to it, that being the harmful effects of smoking. Sure there are plenty of people who "enjoy" smoking or who otherwise gain immediate benefits of some sort from doing so, even those trying it for the first time (I mention them to eliminate the addiction aspect from this analogy, which of course doesnt apply to air cleaners I hope). Similarly, immediate benefit is gained from using an ozone producing air cleaner. And like smoking, the harmful effects take time to accumulate and, we all hope, the user never uses the product long enough for those harmful effects to severely (or even significantly…perceptible…whatever) affect their health. So it is in the best interrest of users of these products to realize that there are other means of achieving those benefits…i.e. there are other, safer products out there that will clean your air! And the sooner, the better, because the amount varies on just how many cigarettes one particular smoker needs to smoke until health problem "X" appears (whichever problem "X" appears first), and similarly just how many hours around an ozone cleaner before some health problem appears. Even today, there exist advocates that smoking is not harmful (less then, say, five years ago for sure though) and similarly there are people advocating that ozone is not harmful to breath, and since the study is not as well entrenched as the smoking study, there are more advocates of it then there will be in, say, another five or ten years. So, lets just hope that for them the lesson is communicated before it is learned the hard way through battling health problems. I am nearly done with my direct comparison of the Austin Air Healthmate and the AllerAir 5000….complete with dozens of pictures and lots of head-to-head results! Im making a web site for everyone to visit. If you are interrested, please let me know! Ill hurry it up if there is strong interrest! I have been giving previously indicated interrested parties a "first-look" at the results and they have since gone out and bought their own units based somewhat on my findings, and if you are itching to get your own high quality air cleaner and arn’t sure which to get then I can make the results available to you too as I continue to put the finishing touches on the public site! enjoy – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Barry here of http://www.aircleaners.com  I dont have to attack you Cynic.

Your right about ozone being bad for you lungs. Ozone is a very active oxidizing agent. It will remove come smells, kill some bacteria and participate out some dust if you have a high enough level of ozone. It is used on boats and cars with reportadly good effect. The only catch is to have any effect it has to be used a level that hurt ordinary folks not to mention us with lung problems.

Question for Connie

Question:

Here ya go, Blue! Article in today’s paper about the effects of Ephedra There was an article in today’s Washington POST which clearly shows the hazards of using Ephedra and diet products which contain it… This is also a good reminder that just because a product is "natural" doesn’t mean that it is harmless. Read this, think about this and if you are tempted to use this stuff, remember this young woman… Woman Using Herbal Aid Has Stroke By Guy Gugliotta Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, April 20, 2000; Page A02 By Tuesday, Sarah Ingham could swallow again, and shrug her shoulders, and almost talk. Yesterday morning, she told her mother "I love you" and managed to say the name of her fiance, Jeremy. Ingham, a 24-year-old Manassas resident, had been taking a dietary supplement containing the powerful herbal substance ephedra for about a month. She wanted to lose some weight before her fall wedding, and yes, she nodded from her hospital bed, she did lose a few pounds. But on Sunday morning, the day after Jeremy Scheingold put the engagement ring on her finger, she awoke with numbness in the right side of her face. She arose, walked to the bathroom and collapsed in the shower. She had had a stroke, and she nearly died. Ingham is one of an unknown number of Americans who have suffered serious illness or death after taking products containing ephedra, a traditional Chinese asthma remedy marketed with almost no governmental oversight by scores of U.S. companies as an energy booster or as a way to lose weight. Ingham has partial movement in her right arm and no movement in her right hand, and she can only mumble a few words at a time. She will leave intensive care soon, but she faces months of hospital rehabilitation. "She may make a significant recovery," said neurologist Michael Hofstetter, who is treating Ingham at Manassas’s Prince William Hospital. "But she will have persistent language problems and will lose some dexterity in her right hand. She must learn how to compensate." The safety of ephedra, whose manufacturers boast that they sell 3 billion doses each year, has been a source of dispute for years between the industry and those who regard ephedra as a dangerous, unpredictable drug with potentially catastrophic side effects. The Ephedra Education Council, an industry group, denies that ephedra, "if used according to label instructions," causes bad reactions, and for several years it has thwarted attempts by the Food and Drug Administration to impose dosage regulations below those prescribed on most ephedra bottles. Ingham used Metabolift, made by Twinlab of Ronkonkoma, N.Y. The label says "take two capsules before each meal" and "do not exceed six capsules daily." When asked if she had followed the instructions, Ingham nodded her head. In a statement issued yesterday, Twinlab said it was "distressed to hear the news about Ms. Ingham" and could not respond directly, because "we are unaware of the specifics of the case." The statement said, however, that "our products are safe when used as directed." Still, Hofstetter, who has treated other users of the substance he calls "legal speed," has no doubt that ephedra caused Ingham’s collapse. "The incidence of stroke for people under 35 years old is 3.5 per 100,000," Hofstetter said. "I have no other reason to suspect anything else." Last month, the FDA published new reports implicating ephedra in 134 cases of serious side effects nationwide. It is unclear, however, whether the FDA intends to launch a new attempt at rulemaking. A 1997 attempt to limit ephedra dosages foundered after industry and congressional investigators showed that the FDA used sloppy techniques in preparing earlier data on 685 reports of adverse reactions to ephedra, which included 39 deaths. The 1997 proposal, all but withdrawn this year, would have limited ephedra intake to 8 milligrams per dose and 24 milligrams per day for a maximum period of one week. Metabolift–like many other companies–uses a standard of 25 milligrams per dose and 100 milligrams per day. Metabolift sets a 12-week limit on duration of treatment. The new reports show that FDA investigators have taken pains to improve documentation since 1997, but "basically, we’re not finding anything different," said toxicologist Norbert Page, who does research for the ephedra industry. The reports "just aren’t geared toward the critical scientific review you would like. You don’t have enough data." The FDA has frequently pointed out that the 1994 law that covers dietary supplements does not require companies to file reports, as makers of prescription drugs must, so the agency’s review process is limited to voluntary submissions of varying quality from consumers, physicians and other health care providers. The law also allows supplement companies to market their products without agency screening. As a result, the FDA must first show that a product is dangerous before it can remove it from the market, and the voluntary reports are its principal tool. A recent study of 20 ephedra products conducted by the University of Arkansas showed that more than half of the samples did not contain the amount of active ephedra claimed on the label. "The message is that consumers often have no idea what they’re consuming, and you can’t rely on the labels," said Bill J. Gurley, director of the study. Ingham, like many users of dietary supplements, knew little about the regulatory history behind ephedra and bought Metabolift on the recommendation of a clerk in a health food store. "When you see something that says ‘natural’ on it, you don’t think it can hurt you," said Ingham’s mother, Danielle McCauley. "She’s healthy as a horse." McCauley said that Ingham, a Virginia state employee who helps victims and witnesses of crimes navigate the court system, wanted to lose 10 pounds before her wedding. Ingham does not look heavy and did not take any medications, although she smoked cigarettes. Last Sunday morning, Scheingold told her that her "face was sagging on one side," McCauley said. She went into the bathroom and collapsed in the shower. Scheingold called an ambulance. When Ingham was asked whether she had had any symptoms of illness before the stroke, she acknowledged that she had felt her heart racing a few times but shook her head at other frequently reported ephedra problems–dizziness, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension and seizure. Hofstetter urged Ingham and her family to talk publicly about the stroke immediately after it happened: "He was really upset," McCauley said. "You can see my kid. If we can help somebody else, we’ll do whatever we can."

Question:

Nutritional/Environmentally  related disorders ( chronic ones such as Asthma, headache, fatigue, candida(yeast related), bad back, joint pain etc.) are drastically on the rise in North America.

FYI none of these disorders have anything to do with nutritional deficencies. Why does it sould like you are recruiting for a MLM scam (I mean scheme)? This health supplement industry is growing faster than the computer related industry & has unlimited growth potential.  Why?  Due to the drastically exausted nutritional value of all soils in North America and the resulting need for essential minerals etc.

How come the agronomists (scientists who specialize in agriculture) seem to disagree with this claim?  Of course I have never seen anybody supply any kind of supporting evidence. p.s.,  there are many more testimaonials available upon request.

Excuse me – but we all know that testimonials do not prove that any method of treatment is effective.  Do you have any science?

Response:

Well, you just attracted the attention of every quack on the internet – expect a lot of people trying to sell you something (breathing excercises, vitamins, herbs, seeds, etc. – all useless and many dangerous). Colin, You are being illogical.  If you say that breathing techniques are irrelevant ("useless and dangerous") for asthma, then how come that hyperventilation is used in research to provoke an attack?

Because hyperventilation can induce bronchoconstriction.  The difference here is that the bronchoconstriction is spontaneously reversible in non asthmatics upon their changing to a normal breathing pattern. We have discussed this before. While  your integrity must be respected  when you

Nicotine not just in tobacco

Question:

I have been told that tomatoes and potatoes do both have some amount of nicotine present in the leaves, though I have not attempted to verify this by smoking them. I wouldn’t try smoking them anyways, since tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants are all members of the nightshade family.  I haven’t read anything indicating the presence of nicotine in the plants, but I do know that they all contain many of the same alkaloids as Deadly Nightshade (Atropina belladonna) and are virulently poisonous.  Only the parts we eat are safe (and only under certain conditions), the rest of the plants are deadly when handled incorrectly.

Well, not very deadly.  In the USA you can buy belladonna cigarettes without prescription at most pharmacies.  They were a popular asthma remedy until the modern inhalers came in. Now, if you’re a cow, you might eat enough to hurt you. — This message printed on 100% recycled electrons.

I wouldn’t try smoking them anyways, since tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants are all members of the nightshade family.  I haven’t read anything indicating the presence of nicotine in the plants, but I do know that they all contain many of the same alkaloids as Deadly Nightshade (Atropina belladonna) and are virulently poisonous.  Only the parts we eat are safe (and only under certain conditions), the rest of the plants are deadly when handled incorrectly. Well, not very deadly.  In the USA you can buy belladonna cigarettes without prescription at most pharmacies.  They were a popular asthma remedy until the modern inhalers came in. Now, if you’re a cow, you might eat enough to hurt you.

Actually, people have died form making tomato leaf tea. If you’re ever dumb or curious enough to try it, the symptoms of poisoning are: headache, stomachache, vomiting, diarrhea, low temperature, and depression of the circulatory and respiratory systems. Other plants of the family have varied effects.                                    Steve Mather

BTW, I’m trying to put together a list of plants known to be toxic to horses. Can anyone give me some references?

The giant New Zealand stinging nettle onga-onga has been known to kill horses that stray into patches of it.  The common NZ plant tutu can poison cows that eat it for more than a day or two, so I presume that’s toxic to horses too. Other NZ specialties: katipos (poisonous spiders), wetas (like gigantic cockroaches that get up to 13 inches long), karaka berries (a fruit parts of which are edible, but the other parts are a convulsant poison that will leave you frozen in a convulsed position forever after the poison wears off; the Maori used to bury victims with their limbs straight so they could at least lie down afterwards rather than be human caltrops), a social welfare system reformed on the same caring and humane lines as in Russia, some of the worst agriculture-induced soil erosion in the world, beaches patrolled by sharks and with a steady gentle current of radioactive waste from French bomb tests, Lion beer, whole hillsides covered with spiny thickets of imported gorse and carcinogenic bracken, about as many earthquakes as California and Japan put together, and dormant volcanoes including one that probably had the most violent eruption on the face of the planet in the last 10000 years and a repeat of which would end all human life in the country within minutes.

You misspelled "drinking".  Unless tomato leaves are more dangerous than I could possibly believe…

Well, I really didn’t misspell it, I just sort of missed it. Ya, it’s alright to make tomato leaf tea, just don’t drink it.                                         Steve Mather

I know that tomatoes, tobacco, potatoes, and eggplant are all closely related plants and that all of them can be attacked by TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), which is why I won’t let my chain-smoker mother in law near my garden.  But, do they all produce nicotine?  Neat, a contact high from spaghetti sauce!

I have been told that tomatoes and potatoes do both have some amount of nicotine present in the leaves, though I have not attempted to verify this by smoking them. I will say, however, that just because it’s present in small amounts in the leaves does not imply that it’s present at all in the fruit or tuber which is eaten.  I do not notice any of the effects that would be indicative of nicotine after eating a peck of tomatoes, though I do notice many other unpleasant effects. I am currently, by the way, about to drown in tomatoes.  If anyone cares to attempt to isolate nicotine from tomato sauce, I will donate to them several bushels of fresh tomatoes. –scott — "C’est un Nagra.  C’est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

Siiiiiigh.  I am currently living in the city in a small apt.  I dream of drowning in tomatoes, zucchini, etc.  I have turned my apt. into a jungle with pots of herbs, I have a very large NW facing window but my nasturtiums and oregano sproutlings are rather spindly (others – basil, etc. – are happy little plants).  Has any one else had success with growing these inside?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated! –scott — "C’est un Nagra.  C’est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

The idea that TMV could mutate into poliovirus is totally absurd.  It might mutate into a more virulent form of plant virus, but the idea that it could become dangerous to human beings is pure paranoia.

Tomatoes, tobacco, nightshade, eggplant, peppers, petunias, and ground cherry are all in the same plant family, the Solanaceae. Some of these plants are (partially) edible, some psychoactive, some partly or wholly poisonous.  I wouldn’t worry about getting a nicotine buzz from your ratatouille.  The secondary compounds produced by these plants vary widely.  Also, you won’t catch TMV from your tomatoes or potatoes. (Yup, potatoes are also in the Solanaceae.)  Plant pathogens are adapted to plant cells, not your cells. Analogy:  Carrots, parsley, and dill are closely related to water hemlocks, the highly toxic plant species, one of which killed Socrates. Also, cashews are related to poison ivy and sumac.  Some people actually get a skin rash from handling the leaves or fruits of cashew, but unless you have an allergy to cashew nuts themselves, you can go ahead and toss some into that chicken stir-fry! — "I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch."                           — Gilda Radner

When I eat a lot of eggplant, I can sense a tingling from the nicotine (or from some other alkaloid) on my tongue.  Scott, if you decide to smoke some tomato, potato or eggplant leaves, please let us know what we are missing.

You probably can act as a vector.  I know that a plant physiologist at WMU does research with TMV, and he bans all tobacco products from his lab.  He just took on a graduate student who (gag!) CHEWS, and has informed said student that if he so much as carries a tin of the stuff into the lab, his butt is fescue!   — "I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch."                           — Gilda Radner

    These plants all produce various alkaloids but only tobacco (and some other plants not named here) produces nicotine.  Tomatoes and potatoes are attacked by Tobacco Mosaic virus and yes it is a good idea to keep smokers away from your plants because they can spread it on their hands and (possibly) through the smoke but I am not sure about that mode of transnmission. The solanacaeous plants (Jimson weed, tomato, tobacco, petunia, nightshade, potato, eggplant, pepper, christmas cherry, etc, etc, etc.) should be considered poisonous in all parts until proven otherwise. (This actually is a good idea for any unfamiliar plant)

Response:

  You do realize that nicotine isn’t unique to tobacco?  There’s also nicotine in potatoes (hence in french fries and potato chips), eggplant, cauliflower, tomatoes, and many other common foods…. Well, folks, _is_ there nicotine in potatoes?  I know there’s lots of fun alkaloids in potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, etc., and it wouldn’t surprise me if there are in cauliflower, too.  But is nicotine one of ‘em?

Since I don’t know, but am interested in the answer (in case it ever shows up on Jeopardy) I have cross-posted the question to rec.gardens too.   Kay?  You there, Kay? I know that tomatoes, tobacco, potatoes, and eggplant are all closely related plants and that all of them can be attacked by TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), which is why I won’t let my chain-smoker mother in law near my garden.  But, do they all produce nicotine?  Neat, a contact high from spaghetti sauce!
