Full story: MergeDigital

Months after a federal ban went into effect outlawing a propellant used in most rescue inhalers, some asthma sufferers insist that the replacement inhalers don't work and might even be harmful.

If you are allergic to the new formulation they increase broncospasm-I have now tried all of the HFA rescue inhalers-I have reacted to all negatively!!! We need CFC inhalers made available to those unable to tolerate the HFA formulation-now. Looks like we will be going back 30 years in time-back to oral meds and nebs. The preventive inhalers have also been changed-powder or ethanol-what a choice and big pharma is making millions while we the people are their guinea pigs, getting sicker and sicker!!!!

The change here in Australia back in 2001 was what sent me back onto presnisolone for the first time in over 20 years.

Now in 2009, after 8 years of it, there's not much left of me after all the times of oxygen starvation for too long, and it looks like I won't be around much longer. This is an excellent way to save the environment, not only because of its wonderful system to curb global population control, but when I'm gone there will be a few less cardboard boxes with useless leaflets and plastic toys around aluminium aerosol canisters going through my recycle-bin every month.

Thank you for the link. If it was an international petition and if it was 2001 still, I'd have voted.
