Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Author: Doug Haney (---.rev.o1.com) Date: 04-21-05 15:45 http://chat.osb.net/read.php?f=25 & i=2264 & t=2264 ALL: First legal situation this week: If there \ " were\ " any doubts as to the possibility that human micro fungi exposures influence serious human diseases (as has been posed often by members of the insurance industry), one major insurance provider came \ " front-and-center\ " with the reality in a small Mediation Room a couple of weeks ago. Though I am unable to discuss the actual case with you or provide you with any facts of the negotiating that took place regarding the settlement agreement, let us just say that after I spent a little over an hour explaining why and how science is aware that micro fungi are much more dangerous than portrayed as little cartoon monsters crawling in and out of toenails shown in television commercials, defense attorneys suddenly asked to speak with plaintiff attorneys, out in the hall. I mentioned that I would gladly continue my presentation with several display boards that I had on standby, but my offer was \ " waved off\ " , so to speak. That was the end of my presentation right then and there! However, I felt very confident that I had presented very well just the facts as they are supported scientifically in the medical research community. For instance, I left little doubt that micro fungi are live cells that are not plant life, but very close to human cellular composition in structure both chemically and physically. I explained the mechanisms micro fungi use in performing their ecological niche (job in nature) to decompose dead and dying species (in this case humans while they are still living), and why. I demonstrated clearly a direct correlation between certain mold species and the process used to mutate human cells and why. And, by the time I finished evidentually, the defense attorneys had seen and heard enough of what I had to offer. For the next two weeks I wondered whether or not my presentation was as productive in educating everyone in attendance as I had hoped it would be in helping all parties to this litigation reach their decisionmaking settlement and avoid further misery for all involved. These cases of course are not easy for anyone involved from the attorneys to the judges to the poor clerical employees, to the deposition recorders, to the people who have to serve papers, copy documentation, and so on and so on... My answer came on Monday afternoon of this week. After three years of tossing this case back and forth and tons of research and paperwork it was over a settlement had been reached... and already paid. This ordeal was over, and instead of the environmental micro fungi exposure victim (plaintiff) receiving a sum ranging in the lower six figure range, the attorney on the other end of the line indicated that this case settled in a \ " substantial seven figure range\ " based primarily on the probable circumstances relating to \ " medical causation.\ " What this demonstrated to the judge in this mediation process, a man well known for his personal integrity and quality of experience in litigation and insurance standards (as he was once the California State Insurance Commissioner) as he walked back into the room as I was leaving to shake my hand, was that as he stated \ " It is an honor to meet someone who is an expert in his field.\ " This made my 19 years in studying the molecular sciences, genetics, ecology, mycology, and several other complex scientific disciplines well worth the dedication and sacrifices experienced, and solidified my place in keeping my word in assisting society away from \ " ignorance\ " and toward \ " intelligence\ " in the new millenium. Since the Houston, TX environmental indoor mold-related death case I was a professional consultant on enviromental health and safety to in 2002, and the litigation matter in Fresno, CA where a 16-month infant died under similar circumstances, I have hoped and prayed that medical professionals would really become involved in mycotic diseases and start treating them. This progress has not surfaced rapidly, though we are now hearing of many medical doctors who are expressing more than a keen interest in it. Since then I have had many friends suffer greatly from such exposures and have lost a few near and dear to me. It is time for us to move forward and rapidly in finding long term medical solutions rather than through litigation. It is extremely rare I am told, that an expert is allowed into a mediation event that is primarily designed as a \ " quick\ " solution of a litigation matter, and for a settlement of this magnitude to be awarded out of a mediation conference is absolutely unheard of. However, I want to congratulate the defense team in this case for really understanding the situation, and members of a \ " major\ " insurance company involved for realizing that the world is changing rapidly in communication and intellect, and that the science involving the deadly forces of micro fungi are \ " right here, right now\ " in the annals of 21st century molecular science. This highly successful conclusion to a very difficult situation for all involved demonstrates significantly that the scientific community is as close as the touch of a keyboard, and there is little area left in the world to hide what is true in health and nauture. I hope what occurred in San Francisco on one cold and windy day will serve to help us all understand that we are all in this search for truth and wisdom together. Micro fungi as pathogens (disease-causing microbes) is a problem that we all are responsible for finding answers to. Second legal situation this week: A while back I reported a litigation matter being submitted to Placer County regarding a woman whose children after a visit to her daughter\'s medical doctor were taken away from her. Her only \ " vice\ " so to speak, was that she felt that her children\'s medical symptoms of nose bleeding, nausea, stomach pain, bone aching, etc., were due to \ " mold exposures\ " experience in the apartment complex the she and the children were residing in, as she expressed to the doctor. Allegedly, his response was to report her to CPS as being mentally disturbed. Children\'s Protective Services (CPS) then took custody of her children and in addition to this, the mother (an educated woman with nearly a Master\'s degree from Sacramento State University) was taken in police custody and forcibly placed into a Sacramento mental facility for 72 hour observation and mental diagnosis. She later was released with only a diagnosis of \ " generalized anxiety disorder\ " , who anyone in her situation as a mother with two very ill children might expect to be. Nearly two and a half months later when her children were released back to her after a long ordeal of supervised visitation, CPS it is alleged, issued two restrictions upon her that are considered a violation of her federal civil rights: 1) She was to no longer to speak to her children about anything to do with molds, and 2) She was to no longer speak to any adult about mold around her children. This matter which I am directly involved with has now been filed with the Placer County Superior Court. More later... God Bless you and your continuing good health.
