evidence vs. Vicki Belo, Power Nut Food Manufacturing, Bruno's Barbers at the Podium, Chi Spa, Complink Marketing, NT Computer, Villman Computer, SM Megamall,
SM Hypermarket

Said Belo's office was at SM Megamall. Based on the registry return receipt for my letter to said Belo, said letter was received on 5/19, 2010 by said Belo's agent. Said letter was designated as registered letter No. 3513 and contained the following:
" For the benefit of customers, please, soonest, provide me with a complete list of all the branches of the Belo Medical Group and the addresses of all said branches, a complete list of all the services offered by said Group and the prices of all said services; a complete list of all the medical doctors employed by said Group and the corresponding list of the learning institutions where said persons graduated and the corresponding number of years that said persons have been practising. An article, identified as originating from you which was published on May 12, 2010, in the Philippine Star newspaper, contained the following statements:"most sunblocks are "fragrance free". Provide, soonest, to me, the specific names of sunblocks which are allegedly fragrance free."Belo Essentials SunExpert has created a sunblock that has complete UVA and UVB protection". Provide, soonest, to me certification from a reputable independent authority that said sunblock has complete UVA and UVB protection."The product has been tested by independent (non-Belo) dermatologists who are accredited by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Provide, soonest, to me, the complete names and addresses of said alleged dermatologists and proofs, if any, that said persons are accredited by said FDA."

Up to June 13, 2010, said Belo has not provided me with a reply to said letter.

While I was at the store of Power Nut Food Manufacturing, there was no visible (to unaided eye) express lane for senior citizens and no visible (to unaided eye) sign re privileges of/for senior citizens. I believe said store violated the
implementing rules and regulations of the expanded senior citizens act of 2003.

Pfizer Initiates a Nationwide Voluntary Recall of All Lots of Metronidazole Injection, Ciprofloxacin Injection, and Ondansetron Injection Bags Made by Claris
Lifesciences Due to Non-Sterility

http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm214848.htm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 03, 2010 - NEW YORK, NY – Pfizer Inc is voluntarily recalling Metronidazole, Ciprofloxacin and Ondansetron IV Products due to the presence of floating matter and non-sterility discovered by the manufacturer Claris Laboratories. Non-sterility of a product administered via the intravenous route has the potential to result in infections, which could be fatal, especially in patients who are immunocompromised. Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin injections are intravenous antibiotics used to treat infections. Ondansetron injection is an intravenous product used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy or surgery. These products are supplied in plastic IV bags.

All lots of the following products are affected by this recall:

* Metronidazole injection USP 500 mg/100 ml flexible IV plastic container (NDC 0069-2390-01);
* Ciprofloxacin in Dextrose (5%) injection, USP 200 mg / 100 mL flexible plastic container for IV infusion (NDC 0069-4395-19);
* Ciprofloxacin in Dextrose (5%) injection, USP 400 mg / 200 mL flexible plastic container for IV infusion (NDC 0069-4396-27); and
* Ondansetron in 5% Dextrose injection 32 mg / 50 mL flexible plastic container (NDC 0069-0700-12).

Pfizer, which began distributing these Claris products to hospitals, wholesalers and distributors in the U.S. market this year under a licensing agreement, is taking rapid action to help ensure patient safety by halting distribution of all sterile-injectable products in IV bags licensed from Claris Lifesciences and voluntarily recalling the products already distributed. Pfizer has distributed these products only in the United States. This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Pfizer has received no customer reports of quality issues related to the IV bagged medicines from Claris Lifesciences. Pfizer continues to closely monitor its patient database for any safety concerns. Of approximately 1.7 million IV bags licensed for distribution from Claris, approximately 1.3 million, or about 80 percent, currently remain in Pfizer’s control.

Customers should immediately quarantine, discontinue distribution of and return all recalled lots of these products, as well as notify any of their customers to whom they distributed the products. For information about returning recalled products distributed under the “Pfizer Injectables” label, contact Stericycle Inc. at 1-800-805-3093. Any adverse events that may be related to the use of these products should be reported to Pfizer at 1-800-438-1985 at any time, 24 hours a day.

Healthcare professionals should observe patients who received these products for signs or symptoms of infection and treat appropriately. Adverse events that may be related to the use of these products also can be reported to FDA's MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178 or by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787 or on the MedWatch website at www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch/default.htm1.


Be Food Safe
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Be_FoodSafe/BFS_Messages/index.aspThe Four Messages: Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill

Fires and Food Safety
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Fires_and_Food_Safety/index.asp
Fire! Few words can strike such terror. Residential fires are, unfortunately, a common occurence. In the
aftermath of fire, people are left to salvage their lives and belongings.

Whether it's the whole house involved or just a fire in the kitchen, people try to save what they can — including food. But generally, saving food that's been in a
fire is not a good idea.

Food exposed to fire can be compromised by three factors: the heat of the fire, smoke fumes, and chemicals used to fight fire.

Heat from the Fire
Food in cans or jars may appear to be okay, but if they've been close to the HEAT of a fire, they may no longer be safe.

Why? Heat from a fire can activate food spoilage bacteria. If the heat is extreme, the cans or jars themselves can split or rupture, rendering the food unsafe.

Fumes from a Fire
One of the most dangerous elements of a fire is sometimes not the fire itself, but TOXIC FUMES released from burning materials.

Those fumes can kill; they can also contaminate food. Any type of food stored in permeable packaging — cardboard, plastic wrap, etc. — should be thrown away. Toxic
fumes can permeate the packaging and contaminate the food.

Discard any raw foods stored outside the refrigerator — such as potatoes or fruit — that could be contaminated by fumes.

Surprisingly, food stored in refrigerators or freezers can also become contaminated by fumes. The refrigerator seal isn't airtight and fumes can get inside.

If food from your refrigerator has an off-flavor or odor when it's prepared, throw it away.

Chemicals in Fires
Chemicals used to fight fires contain toxic materials and can contaminate food and cookware. The chemicals cannot be washed off the food.

Foods that are exposed to chemicals should be thrown away. This includes food stored at room temperature, such as fruits and vegetables, as well as foods stored in
permeable containers like cardboard and screw-topped jars and bottles.

Canned goods and cookware exposed to chemicals can be decontaminated.

Wash in a strong detergent solution. Then dip in a bleach solution (1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of water) for 15 minutes.

Fire Stoppers
The American Red Cross recommends that you:

* Make your home fire-safe by installing battery-powered smoke detectors on each floor and in the garage. Test the detectors twice a year and keep a working fire extinguisher in the kitchen.
* Plan two emergency escape routes from each room in the house. Have rope or chain ladders for upstairs rooms. Agree on where to meet after the family escapes.
* Have your own practice fire drills. Instruct everyone to crawl low under smoke.
