This is insanity. We need ez2use Epi devices in med kits on all planes.
I interviewed Dr Friedman and her jerry rigging of what was in the EMK was heroic & saved a life. It remains wholly unacceptable that in one of the most medically advanced countries in the world we do not have the easily available @FDA approved easy to use epinephrine devices on planes-it is mind boggling @SenDuckworth @SenSchumer @FAANews

A passenger went into anaphylactic shock over the Atlantic and the plane had no EpiPen. Dr Mike Varshavski improvised with the epinephrine meant for cardiac arrest, then told the story on YouTube. Chuck Schumer's office called him to push for EpiPens on planes.

When I founded Best Ever You in 2008, I didn't call it Better Than You. I didn't call it Perfect You. I didn't call it Better Than Everyone Else. I didn't call it New and Improved You, Fix Yourself, Never Make Another Mistake, or Finally Get Your Life Together. Thank goodness I didn't call it Best at Everything, because I would have disqualified myself from my own company almost immediately.
I called it Best Ever You.
There's a difference.
Please visit us at BestEverYou.com and bring your friends, family, co-workers and more.
Love to All,

This would be amazing transpar for our community. Hoping this becomes law.
Allergy advocates are helping propel forward a new N.J. allergens labeled on menus bill. Passed 1st Senate test! Bill would require allergen labeling at restos, delis, coffee shops++. Plus, @AAFANational's big MEAL initiative champions more such laws. allergicliving.com/2026/10/0…

BREAKING: Lawmakers turn up the heat on @FAANews over lifesaving epinephrine on planes—and @united reveals to @SenDuckworth @SenSchumer they will begin transitioning to auto-injectors in its medical kits in response to @SenDuckworth and @SenSchumer.
A scathing letter. A major airline stepping up. Will the @FAANews follow?
