Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

Alright, this is just ridiculous now.

I tried twice. No more.

Thanks to all you actually wanted to have a discussion that could possibly improve people's understanding of the situation. That at least was enjoyable. I wish you luck and health in your treatment.

Cheers.

XJ out.

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

It clearly says food along with devices, so the same would apply. It's ridiculous though once the end user owns the product. It can be argued that rented machines are still in interstate commerce, but I don't think anyone here is talking about rented equipment. End user ownership is the end of the ...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

Is it just me, or is it irrelevant to most people whether it is or is not legal to change their settings? You're absolutely correct. I knew when I started this that I was probably going to regret. Sure enough, I do. I honestly don't think it's a big deal to have patients changing pressures. I do it...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

Adulteration of food, drugs, cosmetic's, etc. IS adding foreign substances to it for resale. Please see my later post discussing what the legal definition is for adulteration of medical devices. As you will see, the definition of adulteration for a device is set by federal statute, not by a diction...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

A " law " that is created in direct opposition to the rights of man is no law . I am fully willing and able to defend myself by all proper and just means should a tyrannical government decide that they must violate my God-given rights. Who would have ever suspected that the second American revoluti...

Re: Question About Deleted Posts?

There is no point in me discussing this further. Your knowledge of Buddhism is obviously very limited and very flawed. LOL! One thing I know is that a Buddhist would never say such a thing - no matter which tradition they followed! So much for open and reasonable discussion. Like I said, just do a ...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

How about you prove that anyone ever has been in legal trouble or even had insurance coverage denied solely because they changed the pressure on their own machine. I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous logic. I've never seen anybody in legal trouble for possessing a Gaboon viper. Does that mean th...

Re: Question About Deleted Posts?

It would be usual for the arms to be facing in the opposite direction to a swastika, but not always. However, the symbol would not be displayed leaning to the right, as the swastika is. Well, here I have to disagree. The manji is frequently displayed in the opposite orientation to what you would no...

Re: Analogy to a car cannot be used

Your catalytic converter analogy is defective. The automobile is licensed/registered and under State control. In your automobile exhaust modification analogy one is polluting the air which others must breath. That example was really directed to rebut the concept that once you own something you can ...

Re: Question About Deleted Posts?

XJ, thanks for educating me on the subject. I didn't realize the Nazis actually stole that symbol of peace. I lost so many relatives in the Holacaust that I never met but my Mom always told me stories of her childhood memories that she shared with them so they were very real to me. I'm very sorry t...

Re: Question About Deleted Posts?

BS, I've never heard that this was a religious symbol of peace anywhere in the world, it is what it is. Can you tell me more about it? It's actually true. The symbol is known as the manji in Buddhism and is used as a symbol of harmony or balance. It's said that the Buddha was laid to rest with the ...

nobody wrote:Is that whiny post supposed to make me feel guilty?
Nope. Guilt has nothing to do with it. I was speaking only to your complete lack of maturity.

Cheers,

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

The section of the California regs you quote deals with licensing of clinical workers. That line is a template that appears in many states' licensure laws: http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/statutes/TITLE23/23-39/23-39-4.HTM http://www.leg.state.vt.us/statutes/fullchapter.cfm?Title=26&Chapter=091 http:/...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.

Did you get your law degree from a box of candy? Like I said, I knew better. I came into this forum because it seemed people here were interested in open discussion about CPAP and the circumstances surrounding their therapy. I heard time and time again about how "knowledge is power" and how "we nee...

Re: Why it IS illegal - sort of - to change your pressure.
