Dear Dr. Boss,

Thank you for your reply - the type of mold study you refer to - is it a

general one or a school mold study that is in the planning stages? I would like

to

know if:

1. mold and its effect on human health is being explored in a study

2. mold and its effect on student/staff health is being explored related to

school building exposures

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Seems the CDC didn't know that a study has already been done by NIH.

The NIH calls for more studies on the issues of Toxic Mold. I guess

several million sick Americans isn't enough test cases for them. Of

course, the NIH study wouldn't accept evidence or testimony from many

of us that asked to send info, medical or lab reports or give

testimony.

With any Government study, they arrive at the conclusion that already

had decided uopon before beginning the study. They pick their

speakers that will justify their forgone conclusions. Remember, they

first picked Dr. Harriet Burge as their Chair until I complained to

Dr. Gerberling of the CDC. I informed the CDC of the past Court

appearances by Dr. Burge when she was an expert witness for insurance

companies and the like. It was then that she said mold was no big

problem.

If anybody wants a copy of the 2 CDC letters I have, send my an e-

mail request and I'll forward them to you as an e-mail attachment

because this site does not accept attachments from e-mails.

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?

Yours Truly,
