Re: [PsoriaticArthritis] Coal tar free!

Now Ron, did you REALLY expect me to see your note tacked onto my E-mail?
It's only rarely that I would even open one that I wrote. Even rarer that
I would see something tacked onto the end.
That's a contradiction. The suit by the AG's office was because the coal
tar shampoo manufacturers FAILED to WARN the public about exposure to a
carcinogen. If it's a carcinogenm why WOULD the NPF not only not warned
us about it, but opposed compliance with state law that required it.
There's a difference between the two. One is a voluntary exposure and
rarely NEEDED. In fact, take one (coal tar), and you are advised by the
manufacturer to avoid excessive exposure to the other.
But not being warned by the manufacturer that coal tar was a carcinogen,
I'll admit to using it more than recommended, and even letting my wife and
son use it, even though there was no medical reason to justify the
increased (no matter how small or large) risk.
For those of us with immune systems out of whack, it's especially
important to disclose the potential risks, so that we can make informed
choices. it's entirely possible that because of our immune system
problems, coupled with the medications that we take, our risk from
exposure is much higher than the normal person.
But unless you were told that that's any reason NOT to use coal tar
shampoo, there would be no reason to stop it once it really wasn't needed,
unless the issue was cost.
