again when we talk about an issue about people getting cancer and why in 
certain conditions, for example, scientists don't say ,but I don't feel the 
same symptoms yet. lol True I do feel them and I do see the exact same 
symptoms in some people as I experience although I can't be in their body. 
All I can say Is its very sad. Sure I am sensitive and I am sure it might be 
very more then that like disease but its completely correlated to certain 
pollution levels that register in my body automatically. The studies that 
says it does affect others is there and could be had Is what I am screaming 
about. I think yu have to realize I am not complaining because of studies, I 
see the exact correlated symptoms and its lke someone sitting on your chest. 
The air smells and feels bad especially in NE. The sadness I get when you 
can't do much for people who have to absorb the same amount is beyond 
description also. I think Karen my point is. do the studies. Side with not 
getting poisoned or F rated air or air some studies causes more heart 
disease and cancer and Yes its not a coincidence besides the violence and 
pollution we do have much more cancer and heart disease. You must ask for 
more objective data like health of adults in comparison study, the costs for 
healthcare and drugs, the number of asthma presciptions between polluted and 
non polluted cities, the life span averages etc and then you will see what I 
am pleading for you and everyone in the NE to see. that we are literally 
being poisoned. I am trying to save YOU and YOU and people in this are. Side 
with getting our govt to do more if you like life and this area and there is 
much to like about Philly too to save. Promote the studies that will show 
what I am saying to be true or not true but honestly I know what they are 
already, thats how sure I know of the differences in effects. Other places 
are doing more then Philly and finally everything is connected in life do 
the right things and get the information so peoples lives can be maximized 
for crying out loud.
