We have all been saying that our issues regard not being informed...

Do you mind if I ask what your background is? How did you become SO interested in Singulair? Just wondering. . .

Actually, I am of an age when many of my friends are getting cancer. Cancer is a baffling issue. Leukotrienes are being studied as an anti-cancer category because some cancer tumors express leukotriene receptors. One of my friends has prostate cancer that expresses the cysLT1 receptor. What the heck is that? Is it a mast cell that went bad?

That is why I say that leukotrienes are the twilight zone of the immune system. What is the cause and what is the effect? Why does it go in a circle?

I think that it all means that balance in the immune system is very delicate. The entire system has to work together. That is how I ended up here and interested in Singulair. I was really researching leukotrienes and cancer.

Sing,

Something bothers you about my interest in Singulair enough to ask. Take what I say, if you care to read it, and analyze it for yourself. If it encourages you to research for yourself, that would be good. Don't take my opinion as anything more than my ideas. I don't have answers.

I'll leave the research to the experts - not that I'll give them my trust. I ask a lot of questions too. I just don't want people w/o a medical/research background to get confused about fact vs. speculation.

I also read your latest post on Yahoo implying a cancer risk in children. That seems likely to scare people w/o much evidence. We have enough to deal with in the shorter term w/o adding that. I'm not saying what you're doing is intentional; it just seems that you've gone way beyond the available "facts".

Sing,

What do you want of people who know that you can only push nature so far? Facts come after the fact. Who is going to warn? Nobody. It is a long term process that the immune system is attacked over and over to cause cancer. Some times we cannot prevent it. If you think that I have some kind of motive to warn, you are mistaken.

By the way, who are experts? If the leading expert spoke anonymously, would we listen? Do we listen to the words or the authority? You decide. I made my decision long ago.

Things change in science. Ideas always change. Some people think that dopamine is not infuenced by quinolines. Well, wrong to that also. I am not coming back.

I will continue to pray for everyone.

Why are you being so sensitive? I'm not insulting you or your motives. I just wanted you to consider how people will be affected by your exploration. I am a skeptic, but when people participate in these sites, they are often feeling desperate and vulnerable.

I am sorry. I deleted my account.

Absolutely, there is NO freakin' way that people are experiencing these neurological side effects without a very, very good reason. Maybe that reason was built into the original research which had a different purpose than some pill that was supposed to be for everybody with a cough, swollen sinus, or a sneeze. How does the original plan to identifiy what causes asthma and design a medication that solves an awful problem go to a medication that gets prescribed for seasonal allergies - pollen? Not even, the same category.

I give up. Chloroquinolins?? Maybe somebody will explain without sweeping this under the rug.

I hope so.

Concernedcitizen,
Yes some of the info you have posted can be scary when thought about. But I for one want to know about it. There may be long lasting effects we don't know about. What you have provided was documented studies & information (including links). Yes, you would give us your opinion and you always clearly stated it was your interpertation that that we should speak to our Dr's. Yes, this is a world that will have many opinions and they all can be heard. Some people may not want to hear everything. It is their decision whether to read your posts or not. I appreciate your posts both here and on Yahoo and I am thankful for the time and effort you have put in to making us aware of the info that you have found out. I hope you reconsider your Yahoo membership as you will be missed.
