Damn eyedrops. It's finally getting better, but I still can't focus.

3. Why did you see the eye doctor?
There are some people who become legally blind ... and not from the regularly expected things like 'diabetes' and etc. Like Robin<http://www.valdezlink.com/eyes.htm#robin>

From a chemical exposure to 2-butoxyethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (what I suspect to be the cause of 'gulf war syndrome' symptoms) ...

It causes holes in the retina.
Many people are unsuspectedly harmed by this chemial family ... including teens who take Accutane for acne (It has an inert butylated incredient) Remember how the States are banning the butyl ethers added to gasoline due to the health effects. Governor of Alaska single handedly banned in in the late 70's due to bad health effects of those in Fairbanks.

I think it can harm the sea mammals of our world, too. Any place that I can reply to a post on that?

9. I went because of "floaters"
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 07:24 PM by EstimatedProphet
The little critters that float in a person's vision. They're trematodes, and in my eyes they're multiplying. In recent years it's become difficult to see because of them-they're ALWAYS there. I can even see them against a dark background.
Unfortunately it looks like there's nothing that can really be done.

4. The eyedrops are worthless and accomplish nothing. Don't let them
do it. The docs have the means to see all they need to see without impairing you like that.

8. Are flouride drops good for babies?
I would hope so. Even though it isn't something you would want to put in the public's water, I found it to be helpful to my children.

The boys were given their flouride drops, but the daughter not.
Turned out the boys had NO cavities at all. Maybe one in their 20s
but the daughter had lots of trouble.

So, I'm a believer, but what about the trend today?
