What’s to be done about the UK’s Wood Burning Stove Problem?

airqualitynews.com/health/what

Essentially, UK Gov and councils are just wringing their hands, asleep at the wheel as per. Research shows how much of a growing issue this is, while 'rustic' lifestyle retailers and influencers try to pretend smoke is safe and trendy, that carcinogens are in fact delicious.

His research centres on how formal and informal social controls can be used to address environmental problems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions can cause serious health problems…

A month ago I saw a dream where I asked an entity if I should give back Ski, our cat that has too many health problems. The entity said "no, her best chances are with you".

Today, after figuring out that her chronic cough is not cough but asthma attacks, that all made sense. No one where I live in Greece would move the cat to a grain-free home-made diet to help asthma naturally. Unfortunately, I won't be able to find asthma meds for cats here, so it has to be a natural solution.

#LeeZeldin’s move effectively ends 3 decades of work at the #EPA to try to ease the #pollution that burdens #poor & #minority communities, which are frequently located near #highways, #PowerPlants, #industrial plants & other polluting facilities. Studies have shown that people who live in those #communities have higher rates of #asthma, #HeartDisease & other #health problems, compared w/the national average.

What a rough week.

I went to the ER again due to severe back and chest pain I couldn't figure out.

It seemed to get better when I used my inhaler. I had a cough for about a month, that hasn't been horrible until that pain showed up, which I thought was a quitting smoking cough. I did that about 3-4 days ago too. Had a cold or something like a month ago, #asthma makes me take forever to get rid of a cough.

Turns out I have Pneumonia, which can be very painful.

Lucky me!

The older I get, the more #medicine I have.

List of my daily meds-

600 MG #GabAPentin x3 for seizures, #tourettes tic calming, muscle spasms, nerve damage, and sleep.

15 MG #buspirone x3 for severe #ptsd and panic/anxiety disorders.

Albuterol for #asthma.

#Guanfacine for #adhd and could help other issues, new.

#hydroxizine for sleep.

#flonase for nose

I realize now I should have had these 20+ years ago, and always had these issues.

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
motherjones.com/politics/2025/

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.

RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".

This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.

This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.
