On-Line Institute creates "bulletin board"
Aiding WTC fallout victims with respiratory problems

SUMMIT, NJ - Holistic practitioners are warning of an increase in respiratory and other problems due to bio-toxic, fall out from the World Trade Center crash. The Institute for Health Research announced today the establishment of an Internet Message Board for the exchange of information regarding health concerns of those exposed to particles from the World Trade Center. Many of the long-range effects due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York City may not yet be known. According to trustee, Karen Horbatt, "A number of the holistic practitioners in the Metro area are reporting a severe increase in respiratory problems. This is just the beginning of a broad threat to tri-state area residents resulting from the unprecedented nature of the Trade Center attacks. Clouds of smoke, which may have contained asbestos, were seen as far away as Pennsylvania and the tip of Long Island. We thought we could help by providing an Internet site allowing practitioners and other concerned people to exchange information. The emergency medical people have done a tremendous job with the immediate victims at the site of the attack, now we need to consider the broader health implications."

The Institute's new Message Board -- the Information Exchange Forum, can be accessed on the web through the IHR site, www.inhere.org, or directly at http://198.172.17.133/ls/message/1.html.
