Re: Repost,WHY YOU CANT GET TREATMENT The Downward Spiral

[Guest guest]

This is WHY you can't get medical treatment.

They know how sick we are. But it all has to do with the money.

Here is a portion of my declaration from the lawsuit that was filed in an

attempt to shut me up. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

…. Prior to this incident, I had never been involved in a lawsuit.

Trying to educate myself and better understand the various aspects of the

mold issue, I began to do research. What I found were families, teachers,

and office workers from all over the U.S., whose LIVES WERE BEING

DEVASTATED. Yet, they were not able to find any regulatory or medical

assistance. No

one seemed to understand how to properly handle the mold itself. The

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WERE NOT ADDRESSING the issue. The PHYSICIANS WERE NOT

TRAINED

in treating the illnesses. Most did not even acknowledge mold exposure

from an indoor environment could cause serious illness.

As a result, PEOPLE WHO WERE VERY SICK AND FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES, SCHOOLS

AND OFFICES, WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND VIABLE MEDICAL TREATMENT. Instead, they

were having their SANITY AND INTEGRITY QUESTIONED for stating they were

sick rom mold. This, while their lives were being turned upside down and THEY

FEARED FOR THEIR FUTURE AND THAT OF THEIR CHILDREN…

In the summer of 2003, there was a meeting at my real estate office. Based

on information provided by the Association of Realtors, the company manager

said there was a new study out that claimed mold in homes does not cause

illness. The source of this information was a paper called " MOLDY CLAIMS: THE

JUNK SCIENCE OF “TOXIC MOLDâ€. It was also AUTHORED BY KELMAN AND HARDIN

and ended with the catch phrase. " Thus the notion that 'toxic mold' is an

insidious secret 'killer', as so many MEDIA REPORTS AND TRIAL LAWYERS WOULD

CLAIM, IS ‘JUNK SCIENCE’ UNSUPPORTED BY ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC STUDY.â€

" Moldy Claims: The Junk Science of 'Toxic Mold " , was a result of the

Manhattan Institute's payment of $40,000 to GlobalTox. Kelman refers to the

document as a " TRANSLATION " or " LAYMAN’S VERSION " of the ACOEM Statement.

Attached

collectively hereto as Exhibit 14 are true and correct copies of documents

from the US Chamber of Commerce and building industry websites. They, along

with the National Association of Realtor (NAR) websites are demonstrative,

that in the summer of 2003, the MANHATTAN INSTITUTE VERSION WAS DISSEMINATED

TO REALTORS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDER INDUSTRIES.

The effort to mass disseminate the GlobalTox defense argument was done with

the assistance of the US Chamber of Commerce and the Manhattan Institute.

The well organized and well funded effort to distribute the Manhattan

Institute Version was endorsed by EX-DEVELOPER, US CONGRESSMAN, GARY MILLER,

(R-CA),

who at that time, also sat on the US CONGRESSIONAL SCIENCE COMMITTEE…

Not only were people being physically damaged by the ACOEM Statement

itself,

by MY FELLOW REALTORS WERE BEING LEFT OPEN for possible liability from the

misrepresentation of mold related illnesses as it was stated in the

Manhattan Institute Version. This meant the FAMILES THEY REPRESENTED WERE BEING

LEFT

OPEN TO HARM.

It became blatantly obvious that there was resistance to having physicians

trained and the public informed about the health risks of indoor mold

exposure. The perverted logic being, IF THE PHYSICIANS AND THE PUBLIC WERE NOT

INFORMED, THEN THE FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF THOSE WHO HAD NEGLIGENTLY MANAGED TO

EXPOSE OTHERS TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL RISK WOULD BE GREATLY REDUCED. If one could

not prove they were ill from mold exposure, then they also could not

collect for the health damages they had suffered as a result of a negligent

exposure.

The CONTENTION IN OUR COURTROOMS AND FEAR OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY over the

mold issue WAS STIFLING THE MEDICAL UNDERSTANDING of the matter. People who

had never even seen the inside of a courtroom were affected and not able to

find

proper medical help because of the contention. THE STIFLING OF MEDICAL

UNDERSTANDING OF MOLD RELATED ILLNESSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF WINNING COURT CASES

AND LIMITING LIABILITY WAS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE MASS IGNORANCE AND SKEPTICISM

THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LAWSUITS AND UNTREATED ILLNESSES IN THE FIRST

PLACE.

,

Thank you for your words of concern. I'm fine. It is unsettling to be sued

and it is costing time that could better be used for positive measures. And

it is also costing me financially to defend myself. But my hope is that

this obviously unfounded SLAPP suit will ultimately turn out to be a good thing

by drawing attention to exactly what they are trying to keep quiet by filing

the suit in the first place. What they do not want known is:

The preeminent document used to defeat mold victims in court and to stifle

medical understanding, is nothing more a sham. It is the core of an elaborate

and injurious MARKETING CAMPAIGN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO DECEIVE THE

AMERICAN PUBLIC

THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE, (ACOEM)

ADVERSE HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS FROM MOLD IN AN INDOOR ENVIRONMENT, EVIDENCE BASED

STATEMENT is:

A document of SCANT SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION;

Authored by EXPERT DEFENSE WITNESSES;

Legitimized by the INNER CIRCLE OF AN INFLUENTIAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, whose

members often times EVALUATE MOLD VICTIMS ON BEHALF OF INSURERS AND

EMPLOYERS;

And promoted by STAKEHOLDER INDUSTRIES for the purpose of FINANCIAL GAIN AT

THE EXPENSE OF THE LIVES OF OTHERS

So the reasons for suing me (and understand I am being sued for 5 little

words: " altered his under oath statements " . Which he did.):

1. To intimidate me and others from speaking out. Others are

threateningly referenced in this case as defendants, Does 1-20.

2. To hide from the public the true relationship between the

courtrooms; GlobalTox; the US Chamber of Commerce Stakeholder affiliates;

ex-developer, Congressman ; the ACOEM Statement and the Manhattan

Institute Version.

3. To continue to deceive the Courts by masquerading a

widely marketed defense argument as a scientific position -unbiased,

extensively

peer reviewed and fully endorsed by a nationally respected learned body of

6,000 physicians

4. To financially punish me for speaking out by forcing me

to defend myself

5. To occupy my time fighting a lawsuit so I have no time to

assist mold victims.

6. To discount my words and demean my reputation as one who

would make libelous statements.

7. To stifle my voice by discouraging those who may be

easily intimidated from associating with me.

8. To allow GlobalTox and their associates to continue their

work on behalf of commercial stakeholders with minimal scrutiny

9. To keep the public and clinicians uninformed of the serious

mold illnesses people are experiencing for the purpose of

limiting the financial liabilities of others

I've just decided something. Next time I go to a doctor who does NOTHING,

puts no effort into trying to find out what is wrong with me, just says

'your okay' without ANY tests. I'm going to say on my way out to the

office, don't bill my insurance, because I'm going to tell them doctor did

nothing, ie.I'm going to refute charges. I can tell you specific instances

where this would have been completely reasonable but gotta go right now.
