Hi,

     Thanks for checking out my products on eBay and for visiting my "About Me" page.

     I'm a psychologist and specialize in improving human performance in organizational envionments.  This is very interesting work.  I enjoy research and have a strong 'East-West' focus.  My wife Lara and I became involved in a home-based business after Lara began studying to get an esthetician license.  When I visited her at the college, I was shocked at the poor air quality caused by nail polish products, hair spray, hair coloring products, and a wide variety of other harmful astringents and chemical pollutants.  I saw that most workers did not wear any protective masks, and some workers were coughing and showing other obvious signs of irritation.   The few workers that wore masks used cotton gauze mask which are completely ineffecive against blocking toxic chemicals.  Lara and I both agreed that she would not be able to work in that environment without protection against these harmful pollutants.

     I began to research the problem starting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  It became quickly evident that the FDA could not control the thousands of chemicals entering the new product markets on a daily basis. This was a shocking revelation!  This discovery led me to research products that could block these dangerous chemicals.  I was very fortunate to come across 'activated carbon' research.  Activated carbon is extremely effective in filtering chemicals and harmful pollutants down to .5 microns and below.  Surprisingly, activated carbon is also quite inexpensive as it is essentially 'charcoal'.  Lara and I decided that we could make a good contribution to the health of workers who are exposed to toxic chemicals and pollutants, as well as to allow Lara to continue her aesthetician studies.  In this way we started a home-based business with activated carbon masks.

     Thanks for hearing our story.  Please visit us for discussion, questions, etc., at Lara's website:  larasfriends.com.

Sincerely,

Dr. Larry Reaves, Ph.D.
