Dear Dr. P. Bradley Carey:

President of the World Natural Health Organization

http://www.wnho.net

Dr. Carey, as International Executive Director for Natural Health

Research in your organization, I would like to take this time to

inform you of a serious health hazard involving Maytag's Neptune

front loader washing machines. and I purchased one a year ago

from Sandpoint Appliances formerly Karli's Appliances. We have

bought many appliances from them and found them to be honorable

people, and impeccable service.

The problem is that while watching TV two weeks or so ago on

Thursday the 13th on Channel 2 News, New York, the news at 11 PM has

a segment, called Shame On You and they were investigating a Problem

of the above Washing Machine Model. The problem is with BLACK MOLD

around the seals, and it grows and spews toxic fumes of the airborne

mold. We have been experiencing this tell tale odor in our laundry

room and all of us in the house hold; experienced respiratory

distress. The TV Station called Maytag Service 1-888-Maytag and they

danced around the issue and then came clean as well there are Class

Action Law suits going on and asking others to join in against

Maytag and knowing dealers. They provide a fix sending a new part

whereas some people complained that that did not work. My wife

called Maytag Service, because we found the origin of the MOLD WAS

THE WASHING MACHING HEREIN DESCRIBED. When called and spoke to

a rep from the above number, they did not deny it, but told us we

did not read the manual correctly (black mold is black mold), no

matter what they say and it is deadly, especially on children and

aged adults. The rep then said that they will send the parts to our

dealer, and we should pay the labor, expressed a few unkind

words because of the arrogance and their lack of concern for the

DEADLY BLACK MOLD PROBLEM as she is aware of my research in

infectious disease as I in the past uncovered many illness and

diseases involving BLACK MOLD. The representative then reluctantly

agreed to call the dealer mentioned above to repair it with no cost

to us, perhaps 's displeasure with their so called solution

they pay for the parts and we pay for the labor and threats of

joining in a law suit, they would not have approved the labor.

then called our local dealer named above and they told her

that Maytag agreed to pay for the labor as well and told the dealer

that she was belligerent, he failed to tell the dealer of his

aggressive attitude complaining that we did not read the manual, the

manual does not address the black mold. The Maytag Representative at

the above number said they knew of this problem a couple of years

ago, and our Neptune Model is a 2003 and should not have that

problem, BUT IT DOES AS EVIDENCE OF THE BLACK MOLD AND STENCH AS

DESCRIBED. a NEW ADVERTISEMENT NOW SHOWS THE NEPTUNE MODEL AS A TOP

LOAD WASHING MACHINE, what about the unsuspecting owners of the

problem models now in homes without this knowledge of the health

hazard?

I would like to request that the WNHO, research this problem and

post it on our Internet site as HEALTH DANGERS AND WARNINGS! Any

actions taken would be greatly appreciated.

Attached with this email are some of the dangers of TOXIC BLACK

MOLD! I will send you more research that I have done on this subject.

Sincerely,

Dr. ph S. Puleo
