It's Official If you have been exposed to a lot of ASBESTOS you will Develop Asbestosis's well if your lucky BUT if you have Been Exposed to ASBESTOS And SILICA you will suffer emphysema as quarts in SILACA Counter acts ASBESTOS CONVENTIONAL FIBROSIS PLAQUES ... makes Me glad I smoke when I hear about Oxidant STREES

As CO2 retainer a can't have that much oxygen in my blood for this ASBESTOS oxidant STREES stuff to do its dirty deed "Looks like ASBESTOS SILACA EMPHYSEMA and ME " ARE all Fuuuu ... If you pardon my French.

But in ALL HONESTY smoking is very bad and the ASBESTOS SILICA dose cause asbestos alpha 1 antitrypsin cytogenetic injury and emphysema or is that plumary emphysema BUT according to IIDB you have to have worked in mine for million years to submit a claim WELL in ENGLAND.

And there's me thinking ASBESTOS had no mimiman exposer levels ... There is one thing I am sure of when DOCTORS here you smoke and you have not been done a pit for million years it's OPEN SESSION on ripping the ASBESTOS SILICA DISEASED Working class man or women off

Same process BUT no mention of ASBESTOS or SILICA just smoking

your comment if you are exposed to a lot of asbestos you will get asbestosis "if your lucky"well i do not feel lucky having asbestosis it's appalling and my quality of life frankly is crap and through the asbestosis i have heart trouble and a looped colon that causes pain, vomiting, and thats caused through chronic lung disease I gave up smocking 43 years ago when my son was born.

Hmm, its become fashionable to blame ALL lung diseases on smoking these days - I Overheard this brief conversation in my Surgery the other day = A Doctor passed by the Receptionist to get some papers, he said to her with a sigh = " The seven patients I've seen today with lung diseases caused by smoking have really brought it on themselves " = The Receptionist = " As a matter of fact Doctor, none of the Patients you have seen so far this morning HAVE NEVER SMOKED " - Oh replied the Doctor - he was the one left spluttering !! ....
