How can I get my company on a insurance vendor list?

01 Jun

Hello, I am trying to get my environmental firm on a insurance vendor list. We cover all aspects of environmental work (i.e. mold, lead, asbestos, fire, water damage) and service the TRI-State area. I have done some research and made several calls, but have yet to find any helpful information. I am trying to exhaust all resources, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

Corporations have the same rights as Humans? How does that effect you?

01 Jun

If ya didn’t know….
After this law was illegally passed in 1886 (Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific R.R. Co.) it has been a plague on our Democracy. Corporations can claim any Amendment, such as the 14th Amendment for discrimination rights to stop local communities from protecting their small, local businesses and keep out predatory retailers or large corporations convicted of crimes elsewhere, or claim the 1st Amendment for the right to deceive people in it’s PR (like when “Big Tobacco” wouldn’t admit cigarettes are addictive and cause cancer, and the cover up with asbestos). Even worse in 1978 (Boston v. Bellotti) by one-vote majority decision corporations were decided to be “persons”, making it legal for them to give HUGE quantities of money to political causes through the right of free speech. Thereby making the average American citizen voter (i.e. We the People) have to compete with Corporations on unequal footing. Corporations are here to serve We the People not vice-versa.
On top of this, corporations never die – they just get bigger while gaining more assets & control. These corporations have gotten so big they dominate most main media outlets, shut down local businesses with insane price undercutting (from overseas cheap labor & products, tax loopholes, etc.), keep renewable energy from being a reality, and pay the politicians that will keep that Corporation’s best interests in mind in order to keep receiving their money flow.

Only humans should have human rights in a democracy. Corporations can have the right to keep certain trade secrets and that’s it! Nor should they be allowed to influence politicians with their GIANT POCKETS thereby making the average American citizen voter (i.e. We the People) have to compete with Corporations on unequal footing. Corporations are here to serve We the People, not the other way around. I’m all for having corporations…but they are ALL answerable to We the People

can i get asbestosis from asbestos shingles?

01 Jun

I’ve lived in a rental house for 10 years that has asbestos shingles and asbestos insulation on the heater pipe. I had breathing problems since 2002 and after getting health insurance in 05 found out i have asthma. Can this be related to my home environment? It’s a very old (1920) house that the landlord refuses to renovate “because he keeps my rent low”. Well he has no choice because of rent control laws here, but I do like the row rent for the location. Problem is I’m concerned it’s killing me. I wish he would renovate.
Last year I had a terrible mold problem that he also refused to do anything about. I had to clean myself. What recourses do I have?

Should we buy a house with asbestos siding?

01 Jun

There is a house that we really like but it is old and has asbestos siding on it. Is this a major concern?? I know if you break them and create dust, it is very bad for your lungs. The house is selling at $99,900 but I think we could get him down to $85,000 considering the siding and the fact that the upstairs is cooled by window units. What do you think??

treatments for mesothelioma?

01 Jun

What are some of the treatments that are used to treat malignant mesothelioma?

 

Do I need someone to talk some real sense to me?

01 Jun

I support a candidate who spent over 20 yrs and has the great judgment of going to racist hate filled church and didn’t know anything that went on.

I support a candidate who started his career at the dinner table of a home grown terrorist, served on several boards with him and didn’t know anything about him, and blows it off as saying he was only 8 when it happened.

I support a candidate who has no experience, served only 143 days in the senate and when he voted 80% of his votes when he was not absent, have been “present” or “abstain”. , who has not introduced but a few new bills, and voted over 97% with the Democrats and never reached across the aisle.

I support a candidate who has experience as a “community organizer” his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. After 2 years of trying, the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.

I support a candidate who thinks stealing from the rich is okay, and redistributing the wealth to those who don’t work or don’t pay taxes is okay.

I support a candidate who thinks by repeating the same lie of not raising taxes on everyone by repealing the Bush tax cuts is giving them a tax break.

I support a candidate who is the Chairman of a committee on Afghanistan that has never held a single meeting, yet claims to be to be an expert on the Middle East.

I support a Democrat to be President, yet the Democrat Congress has a LOWER rating than Pres Bush and I actually think that a Democrat will be ‘good’ for my country, with some great speeches of ‘hope and change’.

McCain Palin will win in November – no one votes for a marxist

can this be harmful way down the road?

01 Jun

so ive ben reading alot about asbestos and silica and dust and long term exposure causing lung disease and death
well, the A/C unit in my part of the house is VERY OLD ,and is SOOOO dusty…alll of te “grilles” ,the white metal bars where the air comes out always has alot of dust around it, espeically under it, and the ac unit closet itself is really dusty, so it leads to think that dust is constantly being blown by the A/C
to make matters worse, i think the duct is made out of abestos
ALSO…i think the duct may pass through the attic which is full of white wool, glass wool, rock wool, or something. the ac duct is right above my bed(and theres a second not far off)
is all that dust abestos(if it is actually asbestos) im breathing in now going to affect me later in life? and kill me? im 17, ive lived in this house for 14 years.
my questions are
-what is this stuff, abestos,what?
-if im 17 now, will it really last into my 80s?
-health risks?
-signigifcance of exposure?
-is there a lung test i can do, to see if i have these pieces?
the house was built in the 1920s or 30s, but obviously it has been redone many times. i do think the A/C duct is asbestos though; wouldnt the dust got blown in my room?

Is it true about the CSI kits?

31 May

The CSI Field kits I looked up are excellent, Im a BIG fan of forensics but I also read that it was recalled because the print powder contains asbestos that could cause lung cancer, I thought it was just a fake lead, but I seen it on a video on youtube. Im thinking about getting one, but I wanna make sure if its true or not before I buy it, or did they fix it the fingerprinting powder to a non toxic one if its accidentally breathed in. Cause if its just in the fingerprint power I could just not use it or throw it out.
please no stupid links like the first two

How good a test for asbestos do I need?

31 May

I want to find out if our home’s sprayed “popcorn ceilings” (uncertain age) contain asbestos. There are various testing options with different limits of detection. I have a small budget. Which “point count” do I need to ask for when I send a sample to a lab? The test is described as EPA 600/R-93/116 with various limits of detection available. Is that the right test?

I’ve also seen a lot of references to “visual inspections.” I am kind of cynical and I expect any professional visual inspector to err on the safe side, and say it’s asbestos … what do they look for? I know I probably can’t do it myself without experience, but I’m curious.
badhabyt – how is it very obvious? What looks different?

Is it possible EVERYBODY has HIV/AIDS?

31 May

There are different strains of HIV and they behave differently. There is 2 types, HIV 1, and HIV 2. Under these 2 types, theres subtypes. For instance, in USA, the most common HIV is called HIV-1 Subtype-B. In Thailand the most common type is HIV-1 Subtype-E. Now tests didnt always detect the different subtypes, and some tests dont detect HIV 2 still. The subtypes behave differently too and infect people differently. HIV causes AIDS, and thats when your immune system breaks down and other diseases come on. Do you think its possible that everybody, or at least all the people who die from cancer and other diseases may have some form of HIV that is not being detected. A strain that has never been identified? I mean what if that is the reason why some people get cancers and others dont. Not because its hereditary, or because of the sun, or asbestos. But because the immune system in those people is lower because they have some form of HIV or AIDS that isnt showing up on tests.

Why couldnt this be a possibility?
Bumblebee, only 60% of people with HIV 1 get the flu like illness. HIV 2 doesnt get it. Different people behave differently, and so do different types of HIV. What if the undetected type behaves differently. If its undetected on tests, then the flu like illness would just be considered the common flu if the person got it. You said if someones immune system gets low, they would test positive. But I already said that there are many tests that dont test for HIV 2, they cant detect it. The common test in USA doesnt detect HIV 2. So what if theres an HIV 3 or one we dont know about that cant be detected by any tests? It took them 15 years to develop a test for all HIV 1 subtypes.
“Have you and every single person you know been tested and are infected? That should answer your own question.”
It doesnt answer anything if the tests cant detect it. The point of this question is, DO YOU THINK THERES AN HIV SUBTYPE THAT TESTS CAN NOT DETECT
Padme, is it really so far fetched? It takes 3 to 6 months for subtype-b to show up on a test. It can take even longer for subtype-e. So the 2 strains behave differently. If subtype-e takes a little longer to show up on a test, who’s to say there isnt another subtype that takes even longer than that to show up? such as 60 years to show up, or not show up at all
KellyRM, thats incorrect. I have met people who were born with HIV in Thailand when I worked with them. Theres many people who are born with HIV.
Google the phrase: Born with HIV and see what you find.

You dont see it too often in USA because subtype-b affects mostly gays, who dont end up having children. It much more common in Africa and Thailand since more heterosexuals have HIV over there.
Dead Last, you know what you are talking about. But not all tests check for both Hiv 1 and 2. It says on the avert.org site
“However, because HIV-2 and group O infections are extremely rare in most countries, routine screening programs might not be designed to test for them. Anyone who believes they may have contracted HIV-2, HIV-1 group O or one of the rarer subtypes of group M should seek expert advice.”

But yes, you are right about another subtype now being found in Cameroon. That is what made me start thinking about subtypes that we dont know about, and ones which may not show up on standard tests. The new subtype is different and they said it adapted to human cells somehow.
I think your average person who gets cancer, or one of the diseases that presents with AIDS, would not get an in depth test for HIV. If the subtype behaves differently than the HIV we usually see, then theres no signs that would cause a doctor to think its HIV so they wouldnt even look into it as a possibility, and they wouldnt order futher testing for rarer strains.
Dead Last, Subtype E behaves differently than Subtype B, so they are not exactly like their type.

52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair – LIAR, your wife’s pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!

53.)I Barely Know Rezko – Only 5 Billed Hours – LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you $625,000.

54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly – LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko ($150K) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.

55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church – LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.

56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time – LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message – hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK – that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.

57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko – LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.

58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube – LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while sitting in the pew yes!”

How to convince my dad to get a biopsy?

31 May

My dad had 4 spots on his lung and he was worried it was lung cancer because when he was younger he worked around asbestos. After the chest x-ray he had a CT scan. The results came back today that they are (from what my dad has told me) are calcium build up spots and could or couldn’t be cancer cell. They could be scars but no one would know until a biopsy. My dad opted against it because he had one along time ago I believe and he said it was VERY painful and he has a huge phobia of doctors and hates it.

The doctors got together and told him since they were so small, he could come back in a year and have another chest x-ray and they could compare to see if they got bigger. Now to me that’s just plain stupid and horrible advice from a doctor. Why risk it? Why not just get the biopsy and rule out if it is cancer. Or if it is, catch it early before he goes back in a year and it be 4 times in size and be told “if only you did the biopsy could we have saved your life”

My dad does a lot for me, and usually puts me before himself. I’m going to business school and something like this would haunt me everyday unless he does it. My dad believes there is no cure for lung cancer, however I read that if you catch it early your chances are way higher.

Where can I find proof that catching any kind of lung cancer is better then waiting? Proof that a biopsy is a good idea. Please help me.
I think the main factor for not doing it is because the doctors said they were small and “nothing yet” however that is horrible information because if it is cancer it could become very bad within a year.

Also, i’m not looking for “he should suck it up” or do it, I’m looking for links with prove that there is cures, and caught early can improve your chances a lot because I want to show him the proof. Also he’s 58 and has nothing else wrong with him (had blood tests done to make sure of other things)
