While it looks as if we may never publish again, we have plans to start up again. Now, isn't that life with MCS? We always think and hope that tomorrow we will feel better; well. That's before the next exposure to unnecessary toxins hits us again. And again. However, should our dream come true for "tomorrow," first needed is a database manager, then an editor. Without the database management, there's no way to have a newsletter. And everyone is either too sick or feels they don't have the skills or can't spend much time on a computer. But as we who live with the effects of MCS all know, hope springs eternal. We always think we'll feel better tomorrow and will be able to accomplish that which we couldn't manage today. Trouble happens when those tomorrows start adding up. That, in effect, is what has happened with The New Reactor. In the meantime, from time to time, I'll try to upload some yet-to-be published articles by Amy Marsh, Betty Bridges, RN and myself in this section, below. -- barb, |

Very late in 1995 Barb Wilkie states, "If no one else will tackle the publishing of The New Reactor, I'll give it a try."

By Amy Marsh http://ehnca.org/www/newreact/watsntes.htm Again (March 2001), the industry reps told me they NEVER get a complaint about fabric softners. Not only have I contacted the industry, but also the CPSC. And, so to have others. I believe us over the industry who claims they haven't received complaints about their products, which are unsubstantiated for safety before release to market. Apparently our information has never been cataloged by industry or government (I asked for a print out of complaints). So, folks, tell it to the Consumer Products Safety Commission -- again. Maybe if they hear from enough of us often enough, they will get the idea that one individual's personal choice to use the TRADE SECRET-PROTECTED toxic chemicals in fabric softeners, should not become the neighborhood's polluted air to breathe. Telephone 1-800-638-2772; press 1; press 999 or by CDC's website "Consumer Product Incident Report" form at https://www.cpsc.gov/incident.html Be sure to mention your CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM reactions, allergies aren't given priority. And in the case of chemical injury, the term "allergy" is a misnomer anyway. -- barb

04/03 Dear Readers: Well, this was then: Those of you who know me, know sometimes I'm running on "empty." Or more likely, because I'm living with MCS, it's those lingering fumes that get me down. However, I am resiliant and a determined individual. With that in mind, although the issues of The New Reactor are woefully late, I'm working on them and trying to climb out of "NR debt." I've finally gotten the year 2001 wrapped up. Now onto "mustard"ing the ability to "relish" playing "ketchup." (With all due thanks to fellow punster, Sue Hodges. To the readers of The New Reactor, my apologies for my tardiness, barb And THIS is now! I had high hopes of getting The New Reactor published again, but now 2005 is half over and its been since 2002 that I was able to carry that load. Most importantly, we lost our database manager to ill health and that, combined with my own inabilities, means that EHN's newsletter is in hiatus. YOU could change that by volunteering to be a database manager and find a friend to be the editor of The New Reactor . . . or vice versa. With hope, barb |
Please put WWW in subject line. Thanks.

Please check back often as we are always adding valuable links to our site. As with all organizations, EHN depends upon your contributions of time and energy, as well as your membership support. Even though we've not recently published the newsletter, we are very actively involved in tabling and advocacy events, which do cost money. We need your support to keep functioning.
