Clean bill of health- Share YOUR story

[ladyraj]

Thanks for the kind words Souporvapor... point taken!

Well..gee..sorry I shared this story! I thought that was the purpose of the share your story thread. My doc is a small town internist who stays amazingly busy because he cares about his patients. I am not too sure he would embark on a large scale study to evaluate e cigs....not even sure he is 100% sold on them. I was merely trying to encourage those who are new to the practice and had health questions.

Yes, Frankie - the purpose is to share your story. It's great that this thread is clarifying that we are not claiming our experience is, will or can be anyone else's experience. Just sharing our own.

Thank you and congratulations on what seems to be a life changing choice for you!

Blsssngs,
Kathy

I haven't voted "guilty" about anything...did I miss the ballot issue? I was referring to the current use of seemingly medical terminology that in reality transfers little knowledge..."bio-cumulative". I conceded the fact that many viewed this alternative to smoking as the source of healing their symptoms, that aspect can not be denied. But there is danger in "associating" effects whether positive or negative. We have seen that with the efforts of ASH and their allegations of 2nd hand vapor. If one allows only positive "associations" versus ones that we don't like...with out proper research, we are guilty of using the same methodology of those at ASH.

I don't need you to prove your positive outcomes to me, I know the benefits...I need your physician to do a case study on your success and post it in a medical forum. That may go far to help us keep this technology that has helped so many.

I apologize if I upset you but I suspect that unless our medical care providers back up our claims via our request in appropriate forums all the success stories in the world are worth exactly what? It may feel good to share but going that extra step to prod our providers in to action would feel even better. I'm ready for some positive articles via studies and case histories. I've haven't seen ONE case be printed/posted in any medical outlet that attributes health outcomes via objective tests in regards to the e-cig. This is what is lacking.

I don't mean to rain on your parade or be a downer, I am merely frustrated with the politics behind the e-cig. Again...Sorry!8-o

You are far too sensitive about this. You have nothing to be sorry about, I was merely stating my opinions about what you posted, what my interpretations of the facts are - and if you really read my post and especially what is in parenthesis in several places - we actually agree on some points and disagree on others.

I think that perhaps this is better served in it's own topic so as not to derail the original thread yes? I would be happy to continue this discussion either in PM or I really think you should open a thread on this. It is a great topic for discussion, but not in this thread which someone opened for a different reason.

Again, just my opinions and I'm not trying to personally fault you somehow for your own.

Take care,
- Hap

Hi and welcome to all the new vapers finding the forum!
Love to hear what's going on in your world......
I'm at a point where I can't 'choke' (literally) down a ciggie if I have to.
Thinking my body has detoxed from the nasties in .... logs - (list in the links on the page referenced below) and even one puff creates coughing, dizziness, and pain.

This is a great thread to share your story!
