<<I agree  that the reverse syringe is a nervous-making tool>>


Why, Arly?  I'm really  curious.  I've used it since 1993 when the article in
the JHL came out, and  have had no adverse effects w/ it -- probably because
*I* don't use it, but have  the mom use it on herself so that she knows how
much pressure she can  tolerate.  If I tell her -- just pulling, no pain -- that
resonates w/  her.

I've spoken w/ an attorney about the  alleged "use of an appliance for which
it was not intended" and she basically  said there is no precedence legally or
otherwise for that.  What you have  done is voided the warranty on the
syringe itself, and you can't sue the  manufacturer because you are no longer able
to use it as a syringe.

We have evidence in the JHL study  that it works.  If we are talking evidence
based medicine, then lets see  the evidence that it is illegal to use this
device.
