#FDAVapeFOIA - Not Delivered So Far...???

FDA FOIA letter mysteriously not yet delivered after the USPS said it would be there Monday.

Last I checked there was not giant snow storm delaying the Post Office.


Hmmm....

I wonder if other requests ever made it to the FDA?

#FDAVapeFOIA

Shipped off the FDA FOIA request as per the web site listed in the last post:


Return receipt requested of course!

Set up the #FDAVapeFOIA hashtag so that when there isn't a timely response people can tweet to @FDATobacco.  While I suppose I can sue under the FOIA perhaps a good old fashioned public twitter shaming might get them to respond.

I also emailed my US Senator and asked for help in ensuring a fair and timely response.

All I am asking for is information (both scientific and non-scientific) about what went into the "Deeming Regulations."

Perfectly fair to ask as it impacts my life and those around me...

FDA FOIA Request

Here is a FOIA request for information related to the "Deeming Regulations."

I do not know if this has been done previously or not.

If it costs more than $25.00 USD I will either pay or, if it exceeds my budget, I will run a gofundme or similar to get the funds needed.

I will publish all information I receive on this blog though you may wish to make your own FOIA request or ask for something I forgot to mention.

I'll be dropping this in the main (with tracking) on Saturday.

The FDA FOIA instructions can be found here.

EDIT: Suggestions received for attorneys to sue if we don't get an answer: https://www.khlaw.com/index.aspx

Judge Richard Leon After NJOY v. FDA

Judge Richard Leon, of Sottera fame (decision that e-cigarettes cannot be regulated by the FDA as medical devices in 2010), recently appeared in the context of Fusion GPS via Politico (about 9:00 - 10:00):


Here's the Scribd of the 99 page FISC (FISA Court) document described in the video above.  Oddly there have been few media reports on this document.

The Nunes PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNITED STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES complaint that frees information on Fusion GPS financial transactions can be found here (described after 11:00).

You can draw your own conclusions...

Flu? Heal Yourself

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
Perhaps a decade ago I stumbled onto "Beerzoids" experiments with sinus flushing.

Prior to this I suffered classic "sinus" problems, I got the "flu" annually, ended up in bed for days,  suffered all winter with sinus pain, scarfed down decongestants, sweated with fevers, coughed, hacked, etc.

Once I read the original beerzoids blog post I began to gain control over my sinuses.

As time progressed I learned at lot:

http://lwgat.blogspot.com/2012/08/defeating-sinus-problems.html

http://just-got-lucky.blogspot.com/2010/11/flu-shots-and-magical-thinking.html

I started experimenting with using these techniques to aggressively attack the flu as opposed to simply standing by as its victim.

Bottom line, though, is that I no longer get sick with the "flu" - sure I might get the chills for day, have to blow my nose for a day or so but I no longer get the bronchitis, pneumonia, runny nose, extended fever, etc.   I no longer take aspirin (or any related medication).  No more sinus meds of any kind, no more antibiotics.

None of that.

I no longer get "sick..."

Why?

Not because of flu shots, which I have never taken (see http://just-got-lucky.blogspot.com/2010/11/flu-shots-and-magical-thinking.html) because the are complete bullshit.

No, instead I conducted a decade of experiments on myself that lead me to the following conclusions:

1) Diet and exercise matter, but not in the way you think.  You need to boost your immune system (much of it in the gut) and address deficiencies with diet (including oil of oregano, turmeric, curcumin, cod liver oil, iodine, vitamin C).  Exercise to clear you sinus daily, especially in cold weather. Your sinuses need to be cleared every day.

2) Your sinuses are a significant vector for infection in that controlling your sinuses controls the infection.  At some point the "flu" or a cold invade your sinuses (typically initially).  Infected snot runs down the back of your throat and creates bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.  Flushing kills off the infection and removes reservoirs of infection.  At least for me I can always feel this "invasion" - snot runs down the back of my throat long before I used to get "sick."

3) The combination of antibiotics and/or nasal decongestants create bioreactors in the sinus cavities of anyone using them (dark, warm, mucus covered, human).  In these bioreactors the viruses and bacteria breed and/or evolve to be anti-biotic resistant (to the extend bacteria are involved).  Infected mucus generated by viral infection spreads the viruses to the rest of the body.  Bottom line is you must clear this stuff out, not let it run down into you lungs.

4) Colon Transit Time matters and needs to be low (http://just-got-lucky.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-your-colon-transit-time.html)

(All of this is found in the links above.)

If you have the flu it's your own fault.

You've been lead astray by modern "big pharma" which helps poorly educated doctors apply "allopathic" (symptom treatment) to something that you can actually fix yourself.

The Chine Nual...

Interesting history for the Lisp Machine Manual. I had the green version with three authors...  Sorry to say I lost it over the years...


This is probably the closest living relative: Clozure CL.
