Thank you, I am under the understanding that it is about the flammability issue.  What
is the doctor's note for?  Does my family have to be accepted as not good kindling ;-}
or do we have to prove a sensitivity to the harmful chemicals emitted from the treated
mattressess?

I have not been able to find a doctor that does not try to convince me to vaccinate my
child and feed him whole grains and dairy products.   My son has never seen a doctor
and we have had no need for one, yet ;-}.  I also have not found one that would
consider listening to me and my needs without scribbling a prescription for some
harmful antibiotic and sending me on my way (after taking an arm and leg for payment).
