| "Fairechild has a bag of carry-on health tricks
larger than fits in the overhead compartment, all included in her book,
Jet Smarter." -American Bar Association Journal |
| "Diana
Fairechild, a former flight attendant who writes about and does consulting
on the health risks of flying, says some frequent travelers often fail
to connect the dots between their travels and chronic ailments."
-Alina Tugend, The New York Times |
| "Diana
Fairechild's book Jet Smart dropped a bomb in Washington and the Environmental
Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation changed policy."
-Ed Randegger, Environ |
| "The thing I enjoy only slightly less than a tooth
extraction is flying... Fairechild, still perky after what amounts to
300 circumnavigations of the globe, said that the mostly non-lethal dangers
of air travel amount to one of the great unexplored environmental health
issues of the day...Considering how many of us this affects, this lone
voice is well worth hearing." -John Bogert, Copley Newspapers |

FROM
READERS
"Thank you for an outstanding
web page. I Have spent hours there. Suffered a pulmonary embolism on one
of my previous flights abroad. Being fit and healthy I never considered the
possiblity of any complications. However I did find the air rather stuffy
and had no clue re hydrating, etc. After that traumatic experience, I was
fearful of flying. It has taken many years to overcome this fear and venture
abroad. Your web page was sent to me by a friend from Australia and I found
your information very helpful and have signed up for your Newsletter. I want
to congratulate you on your dedication. Keep up the great work!" -Anna-Maree
Munro (South Africa)
"Thank you for sending
me your news articles of very worthwhile info! We used your suggestions on
our trip to Australia and jet lag was reduced dramatically! Thanks for all
the continued updates. We are very grateful. Please continue to keep us all
more aware of health and safety issues. You are doing a fantastic service
for us." -Diana Laninga |
