Eye Allergies: Patanol Still the Best For Me

Previously, I wrote about my experience with Patanol vs. Alaway.  Since that time I have tried additional medications, and I thought I'd post an update.



The medications I've tried are:

  • Patanol (0.1% solution of olopatadine hydrochloride).
  • Pataday (0.2% solution of olopatadine hydrochloride).
  • Alaway (Ketotifen Fumarate).
  • Up & Up Eye Drops Allergy Relief (pheneramine maleate and naphazoline hydrochloride).
I previously wrote that both Alaway and Patanol worked well for me, but that Alaway had an uncomfortable sting.  I now find the sting almost unbearable and prefer not to use Alaway, but I still do so in a pinch.  Patanol works exceedingly well for me.  I tried a free sample of Pataday; it worked fine, but I did not think it was any better than Patanol.  The fourth option, which is Target's generic brand of allergy eye drops did absolutely nothing for me.  No offense to Target; I like Target, but I think I'm a Patanol man.

GMO-free Salt and Fluoride

Recently, I came across a blog with a face-palm entry about "GMO-free" pink Himalayan salt.  Coincidentally, I was engaged in a conversation with friends who are apparently concerned about a government conspiracy to poison us with fluoride. Putting the two thoughts together sparked my curiosity.  How much fluoride is in natural salts such as Himalayan Pink Rock Salt, and is it too much?

Carbon: Poison In Our Food

Learn about the new hazard THEY are putting in our food!!!
You will never guess what they are putting in our food.  Even organic locally grown food contains this poison!!!

Consider the Facts about Carbon:
  1. Carbon is a principal component of the deadly nerve gas sarin.
  2. In the history of chemical warfare, more people have died from phosgene gas than any other chemical agent used on the battlefield.  Phosgene contains carbon.
  3. Deadly hydrogen cyanide gas contains carbon.
  4. 100% of biological tissue from cancer patients contains carbon.
  5. Carbon compounds are implicated in climate change.
  6. Every human disease ever known can be associated with carbon!!!!
  7. The Nazis ate food with carbon in it.
Tell Monsanto, Big Pharma, and Big Farm A that you do not want carbon in your food.  Join the movement to insist that our food producers start growing natural food without this toxic poison!

Patanol vs Alaway (Ketotifen Fumarate) Eye Drops



In July of 2010, I wrote a piece on my experience with Medco getting my prescription for Patanol filled. The medication is a prescription antihistamine that is administered by drops to the eye.  It is prescribed for hay fever and similar allergies that cause itchy eyes.

The Medco Model of Customer Service



I am enrolled with a health plan through which I get my medications from Medco®.  On June 25, my doctor sent in a prescription for Patanol®, an allergy medication for the eyes. As of July 10, I had received no word on the prescription.



On Saturday,  July 10, I called Medco to find out what had happened.  After navigating their inane voice-mail system, I was able to speak to a human being.  I achieved this amazing feat by repeatedly saying "representative" to all of the voice-mail prompts.

The woman on the other end told me that my prescription had stopped for some unknown reason, but that she could restart it manually and that I should expect it to arrive in 8-10 days.  She told me that I could go to my local pharmacy and that Medco would pay for a 7-day supply to hold me over.  It sounded too good to be true.

A Sucker Is Born Every Day!

Snake-oil salesmen are alive and well.  People will buy nonsense if it is marketed correctly.  I enjoyed the review of the wine clip on the Dan's Data Website.  This device supposedly makes wine better by pouring the liquid through a magnetic field.  The review does a good job of explaining the nonsense.
