<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi All,<br>
<br>
In response to inquires regarding destruction products, today I received the attached letter. It has URLs to a number of studies that show activated carbon in general or the medsaway product in particular work as advertized, given enough hours.
<br>
<br>
I noted they were written by one of the companies principles or the study was funded by the manufacturer. Two were presented at conferences. I wrote back to ask if any have been published in a peer reviewed journal.
<br>
<br>
Phoned a large activated carbon supplier (buyactivatedcharcoal.com) and they were quite convincing, that once pharmaceuticals bind to the activated carbon, they can't be extracted. The knowledgeable person I spoke with will follow-up with their expert and
send me any published studies they can find that would support this conclusion. <br>
<div>Will pass on what I receive.<br>
