E-mail: _Haney52@... Website: http://www.Myhealthrights.com Litigation Update: Mold Talk Lands Psychologist in Mental Hosptial A Placer County, California litigation case I assisted in authoring ( " Complaint for Violation of the Federal Civil Rights Act, and State Law Tort Claims " Case #205-CV00771 FCD DAD) with my good friend, Herman Franck, Esq. (SB# 123476) of Sacramento is being reviewed at the Federal Court Building in Sacramento. This is a case involving Ms. Kirsten Fisher, the mother of two girls, and a woman with years of experience as a professional counselor (holding a BA in Psychology from Sacramento State University, and two terms short of her Masters Degree), whose CHILDREN WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER BY PLACER COUNTY SOCIAL WORKERS FOR COMPLAINING TO HER FAMILY DOCTOR ABOUT HER DAUGHTER’S EXPOSURES TO WHAT SHE BELIEVED, WERE PATHOGENIC MOLDS. To summarize, on or about March 23, 2004 Ms. Fisher visited my office on another matter concerning micro fungi exposures. In reviewing the documents she presented during our meeting, Ms. Fisher alleged that when she took her children to her family doctor, Mark Knoble, M.D., that instead of thoroughly examining her daughters for their presumed mold exposures, he contacted Placer County Child and Adult Crisis & Emergency Services (ACCESS) about her apparent behavior in obsessing about mold exposures. Within a day or two Ms. Fisher’s children were ordered into county custody, and Ms. Fisher was forcibly admitted into the Heritage Oaks (Psychiatric) Hospital located in Sacramento by police. Upon leaving the hospital after a battery of psychiatric tests that confirmed only “generalized anxiety disorderâ€, Ms. Fisher was to spend the next 2 ½ months apart from her children enduring supervised visitation with her children and harsh monitoring controls set up by Children Protective Services. Ms. Fisher showed me a document, which I still have in my position titled, “Placer County Systems of Care: Unified Services Plan†which states, “Mother will not obsess about “mold†issues that risk the minors safety.†Further stating, “Mother will report to landlord immediately any sign of mold,†and “Mother will discontinue any topics of “mold issues†with the minors,†and “Mother will refrain from any discussions of “mold†to other adults in front of the minors.†All of this, in writing, a total violation of Ms. Fisher’s and her children’s federal Constitutional Rights. After hearing this, I became upset and was given permission to call Ms. Fisher’s social worker who, would not speak with me without consent of Ms. Fisher. So, I handed the telephone to Ms. Fisher for said consent. While Ms. Fisher spoke with her social worker, I directly heard the social worker state to Ms. Fisher, “If you decide to pursue this you know what it will mean!†in a very loud voice. This brought Ms. Fisher to tears of course, and the rest is history. This case is being brought to the Federal Court not just as a case against Placer County, but for the fact that it clearly represents how lightly medical doctors and public officials are taking a very serious condition relating to human health and safety and turning it on victims. We are making great strides and I will continue to bring you information about cases I am selecting which will, I hope, eventually bring “Mold Litigation†away from the Justice System and front and center into the Proper and Effective Medical Treatment arena. I do not subscribe to the vast number of cases in the court system, but I understand fully what has to be accomplished until people who choose to ignore the health implications move past “ignoranceâ€. Micro fungi can and do KILL humans! They are first and foremost ancient (nearly two billion year old) “decomposers†designed by nature to “DECAY†and “KILLâ€â€¦ especially- humans! Don’t give me this absolute “CRAP†that inhaling molds does not cause severe illness in anything other than an immune compromised person!!! That is absolute “CRAPâ€! Don’t tell me what I as a trained scientific observer have personally witnessed in the past six years. Remember, I also used to be a skeptic about such exposures too! In some instances along the “learning curve†I might have made mistakes and have expressed things I now understand differently, but what I explain now written by scientists others is factually-based and “peer reviewed†in major scientific journals. And I currently have been making very few mistakes. So, after consulting as an expert in environmental health in two death cases involving pathogenic micro fungi exposures: Black 54, Houston, TX (2002) and a 16-month old baby, Seniff (2003), I am fed up with “CRAP†and want to “WAKE SOCIETY UP TO THE FACT†that regardless of what people from GlobalTox, Inc., or Ron Gots, M.D., or Saxton, M.D., and others who testify otherwise might have opinions on, exposures to pathogenic micro fungi can and do have the ability to kill a human being first by weakening human cellular functions and then by gradually destroying human cells. MS. FISHER, HAD A PERFECT RIGHT TO BE VERY CONCERNED AS SHOULD WE ALL! Post # 4 Re: Okay, My Declaration is now a Legal, Public Doc Posted by _Sharon_ (http://counsel.net/cgi-bin/chatscripts/mailform.cgi?uid=kfc1955 & dmn=sgd.uge & nam\ e=Sharon & subject=Re:+Okay,+My+Declaration+is+now+a+Legal, +Public+Doc) on 7/08/05 Doug, That is a horrible story about what happened to the mother who complained about mold exposure. I wish I could say that is the worst one I have ever heard. It's not. Here are some other portions of my Declaration: 54. As noted in the prior exhibit, some members of the ACOEM perform medical examinations of mold victims on behalf of insurers. E-mails demonstrate that many were anxious for the release of the ACOEM Statement. Attached as Exhibit 35 is a true and correct copy of an email authored by Swift (Swift) and sent on October 4, 2002. Swift asked the question of Borak, " I'm giving a talk to a group of insurance related clients. Is it quotable and if so, how should I reference it? " 55. The ACOEM Statement was leaked to the medical community on approximately October 27, 2002. This date is the same date the paper was accepted by the ACOEM Board of Directors to be the position statement of the esteemed ACOEM. This leak went out through the Duke University, occ-env-med-L, which is the environmental medical community's internet chatboard. It was only on the chatboard for a minute period of time before the host of the board was asked by Dregger of the ACOEM to retract the post. Even with just minute posting time, it still caused quite a stir and scurrying on the part of the inner circle of the ACOEM. The reason being, the ACOEM Statement was still in Rough Draft form on October 27, 2002, the date of it's acceptance by the Board Members of the ACOEM. Attached collectively as Exhibit 36 are true and correct copies of the the following emails, demonstative of the scurrying and confusion the situation caused: Email, Dr Sudakin, dated Novemeber 8, 2002: Sudakin is apologizing for posting the rough draft on the Duke chatboard. Email, Hardin, November 7, 2002: Hardin is apologizing to Dreger for being " a nag along the way, but was getting nervous that the ACOEM Board might get cold feet and back away. I'm much relieved to find it posted. Thank you again. " Email, Dr. Hodgson, dated November 5, 2002: Dr. Hodgson is questioning whether the authors' paper was based on " not just what we believe... " Email. Dr. Harbut, dated November 4, 2002: Harbut is asking " Do you know if the authors have any potential conflict of interest, such as having been retained as expert witnesses by any attorneys? " Email, Hardin, dated November 5, 2002, stating " My reaction to this request is to say that he who demands to see a conflict of interest statement should offer his first. " Email, Bernacki, President of the ACOEM at that time and dated November 8, 2002, stating " Because of that interest, this evidence-based paper underwent strenuous and extensive peer-review, and a " Conflict of Interest " statement was obtained from the authors of the paper. 56. Attached collectively as Exhibit 37 are true and correct copies of three emails from Hardin, Saxon and Kelman respectively and dated November 5, 2002. This was one full week after the Board's acceptance of the Rough Draft ACOEM Statement, and well after the completion of the supposedly unbiased and extensive peer review process. What these emails indicate is that, not the ACOEM Board of Directors, not one-hundred-one critical peer reviewers, but the known defense experts authors of the original paper themselves: Hardin, Kelman and Saxon, were the one who had final edit over the ACOEM Statement. In Hardin's November 5th email he stated, " I've proofed the draft on the web page and have the following edits: " This statement was then followed by twelve edits made by Hardin on November 5, 2002. Saxon's November 5th email stated, " I have proofed the paper and have one alteration. " Kelman's November 5th, 2002 email stated, " I have no further edits beyond those of my co-authors. In light of current developments, I urge you to post the corrected version tomorrow (Wed) if you possibly can. The level of noise and misquotation is reaching a deafening level out here on the West Coast! " This situation is absolutely disgusting. I am truly appauled.
