Comment:

The ACOEM is a biased, obtuse, and twisted organization

organization and everyone in this business who has had any

dealings with them knows this. Most of the physicians that

govern 'independent evaluations' or follow-ups are

criminals and would sell their mothers for the right price.

Something needs to change before it is too late because

this is a very flawed system with all of the money going

into the wrong pockets.

From my Declaration in the lawsuit Kelman and GlobalTox filed

against me for writing Kelman " altered his under oath

testimony " on the witness stand. (Upon being presented with

docs from a prior testimony of his from a case in Arizona.

67. There are 83 references listed on the ACOEM Statement

references pages. In Kilian, when questioned specifically

about some of those references Kelman said " Well, just

because we use the references doesn't mean that we're

referring to them as legitimate, useful references. "

Attached as Exhibit 45 is a true and correct copy of page 940

(P.940:16-22) of the Kilian transcript.

68. Kelman was also asked in the Kilian case about some of

the studies addressing causation of illness by mold/toxins,

but not used as a reference in the ACOEM Statement. His

commentary of the various studies are shown in the Kilian

deposition transcript attached hereto as Exhibit 46, pages

931 through 939 (P 931:16 through P.939:24)

69. Within another portion of his Kilian testimony, Kelman

stated, " We're limited in the fact-based statement to a - I

don't remember what the page limitation is, but it's supposed

to be a concise document. It's not meant to be an

encyclopedic examination. So we attempted to use our--the

professional judgment between the three of us to pick out

those studies which were the most representative of the

statement. "

58....Kelman stated that rats studied by Dr. Rao, was " the

one that we modeled for the single-dose study. " The Rao

study was based on rats being blasted with a massive amount

of mold for a minute amount of time as is shown in.....

65. ..... " Current scientific evidence does not support the

use of acute, high exposure rat studies to conclusively

establish the absence of adverse human health from inhaled

mycotoxins in homes, schools or office environments. "

66. The American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) has

also weighed in on rodent studies being used to conclusively

determine whether dose does or does not make the poison in

humans. In a paper entitled " Ratty Test Rationale " and

authored by Whelan, founder of the ACSH, Dr. Whelan

vehemetly denounces the scientific standpoint of using rat

studies to conclusively determine human illness. She is

quoted as saying " Lets end rodent terrorism before it further

devastates our economy and way of life. "

ACSH Carcinogens Breakfast at MANHATTAN INSTITUTE

Start: Wednesday, March 16, 2005

End: Wednesday, March 16, 2005

The Center for MEDICAL PROGRESS at the MANHATTAN INSTITUTE

invites you to a breakfast forum

Wednesday, March 16, 2005

8:30 am - 10:00 am

With:

Whelan, Sc.D., M.P.H., M.S.

President and Founder, American Council on Science and Health

On:

ACSH's book America's War on " Carcinogens " :

Reassessing the Use of Animal Tests to Predict Human Cancer

Risk

(American Council on Science and Health, 2005)

The following are two of the Scientific Advisors for the ACSH:

W. Brecher, Ph.D., C.Chem., DABT

GlobalTox International Consultants, Inc.

E. Gots, M.D., Ph.D.

International Center for Toxicology and Medicine

Apparently, the Principles of Scientific Foundation Sometimes May Vary,

Depending on the financial outcome for those involved. The Manhattan Institute

was promoting “Ratty Test Rationale†as valid science, to industry

stakeholders, when it came to establishing lack of human illness from mycotoxin

exposure

in homes, schools and offices.
