Re:Was Thieves formula input, now glycols...

[Guest guest]

Arrrgghhh! As a current chemistry student entering my second semester of

Organic Chemistry, I am getting tired of seeing this misinformation thrown

about.

 

Antifreeze is made with ETHYLENE glycol. ETHYLENE glycol is poisonous. It

tastes sweet. Formula is C2H4(OH)2.

 

PROPYLENE glycol is " generally regarded as safe " . It is tasteless. Formula

is C3H8O2.

 

Different formulas, different structures, different properties. One is

dangerous, the other is not.

 

Sort of like alcohols - Methanol is poisonous. Ethanol (the alcohol we know

in beer, wine, etc.) is not, unless you overdose.

 

Please get your terminology straight when warning people about chemicals.

It seems that a lie sandwiched between 2 truths makes the lie believable.

If we only did 1/2 of the research about stuff that we send on. There would

be a lot less fear than coherent reasonable action. Well at least we have

some Organic Chemists on board to steer us right.. And some other smart

people too.

 

Chemistry is your friend.. (too bad I learned that a wee late to pass

Chemistry in highschool, I might have made an A had I known that.)

Jennifer (considering a going back to school for pharmacy, in which I will

definitely have to take chemistry.)

Jen,

 

Pharmacy is exactly what I am hoping to do! While I find some current

trends in the industry disturbing, there are a lot of fascinating

developments that are good as well.

 

I avoided science in high school and my first go at college as well,

but have since learned that it fascinates me, Organic chemistry in

particular. We are just beginning to study aromatics, which ties in

with essential oils. Hopefully by the end of this semester I will be

able to actually understand a GS report!

people out there like us would go into the field and get " quantifiable

Degrees " Then we could bridge the major gaps between the Allopathic and the

other therapies. Something that is beginning to happen, but it is slow

going. Let's use the system to bridge the gap..

Hi guys,

 

Organic Chemistry is way, way over my head. But that doesn't make it any

less interesting.

 

MIT has a large amount of info on Chemistry in it's free Open Courseware.

Some classes come with video and audio files, others have handouts, most all

are fascinating.

 

Check out this Organic Chemistry class, and look in the handouts section.

Fascinating stuff, even though I can't claim to understand it.

 

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Chemistry/5-12Spring-2005/CourseHome/index.htm

 

They have free info from a long list of topics, so if you have any interest

in learning, without heading to school, you might want to see what looks

good and dive in. It's completely free, though you are not graded, or

tracked in any way. It's just out there for anyone, on the web.

 

Cheers,

Christina

I hadn't even gotten to that part. I'm on the Neurology.

 

Jennifer Thanks for letting me know it's still there.

 

I've actually had a friend with a Pharmacy degree tell me with a degree in

Pharmacy I would be dangerous. I said.. What ME?

 

He said with all the stuff I think about that I might want to write

everything you do down.. I said. HMMMM. Maybe I should have a scribe?

Wait. I'm too cheap to get one. Heeee heeee. (call me FRUGAL FRanny.)

Thanks Christina, that will be useful as an extra review/study resource.

 

My Orgo I instructor and Orgo II Lab instructor (same person) went to

MIT.

 

Thanks again!

Melissa,

 

In your case, that's practically cheating...But I don't think any teacher

would mind a little extra studying.

 

Maybe you can break it down so the rest of us can understand it, and sell it

to us with flowery, beautiful examples. I would buy that book!

 

Cheers,

Christina

Whoops sorry Christina, I just thanked Jenni for posting the link when I

should have thanked you.

I am looking forward to some serious research.

Some of the pdf lecture files are not there but I am sure they will be

covered somewhere.

Thanks again.

LOL

Hi Leslie,

 

The more the merrier! Glad you are using the link too. I just love to

learn - and it's even better when there is no test at the end.

 

Cheers,

Christina
