Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Last night's item on mold on ABC News claimed that mold, even stachybotris chartrum, was harmless. Today, FOX 4 news claims that the Texas Medical Association has determined that black mold causes no health problems. If this is true, then what caused my husband and I to get so sick since moving into this leaky, moldy apartment? We are deliberately being lied to. This is not news, it's propaganda.....as usual.......Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I hate to use the word coverup and sound like Oliver Stone. Sadly, that is what is happening from our government and most of the media on this issue. Read my letter and see where I use quotes. These are the exact words from the CDC that I am quoting. They are saying that Toxic Molds are dangerous and they still, after all the years of reporting, are just starting to investigate. If anybody wants a copy of the letter, contact me offline and I will fax you a copy of the CDC letter. Ken October 10, 2002 Dr. Louise Gerberding Director, Public Health Service Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Atlanta, GA 30333 Dear Dr. Gerberding; I received, today, your attached response to my inquires of President Bush concerning the severe health issues of my family, and many other Americans, created by Toxic Mold, specifically Stachybotrys atra. I am saddened to hear that the CDC " does not currently have any ongoing studies of residences or individuals that involve mold " . After reading many Doctors and Medical reports from across the Nation that have discussed the possibility that Stachybotrys atra may have been responsible in the death of Children, I thought that the CDC would have begun a study some years ago. You mention the CDC is " currently developing an agenda for research, service, and education related to molds " . While the bureaucracy expands, Americans continue to suffer. You further mention that the CDC " is funding the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to evaluate the relationship between damp or moldy indoor environments and the manifestation of adverse health effects " . Is this the study that is being chaired by Dr. Harriet Burge of Harvard University? It is my understanding that Dr. Burge has been a witness in court cases in which she has testified that Toxic Mold is no big deal. I understand that she made these types of statements as a defense witness. Are you aware of these possible issues? If these statements are correct would she not have to recuse herself from these studies due to a potential for a conflict of interest? If this is the study, I contacted them several months ago at the site they said to send correspondence to. I told them of our health conditions from the Toxic Mold in our home. I asked that I be allowed to speak when they have open hearings. I offered our Government our home and our family to use as test subjects of the causes and effects of toxic Mold. Does it surprise you that this group never bothered to respond to me? How much of our tax dollars are being paid to fund this study? As an American, do I not have the right to present my comments before this forum? As an extension of our Government, they are being paid with tax money, do they not owe me a reply? Has the CDC discussed the issues of Toxic Mold with Military Doctor's at Ft. Dietrich land? It is my understanding that they have already done clinical research and have determined that Stachybotrys atra is a major health threat to people. Would not the CDC defer to the study of our Nation's Military? Their only interests is to protect American citizens. The do not play politics with the lives of Americans. I find hope in your statement that " we do know that exposure to high levels of mold may cause some illnesses in susceptible people " . Your next statement, " because molds can be harmful to some people, it is important to maintain buildings, prevent water damage and mold growth, and clean up moldy materials " is correct. If we clean up the Stachybotrys atra but fail to stop the issues, materials or people that have caused it, we are fighting a health battle that cannot be won. Would you not agree?
