Thank you Doug and D for backing me up. Here is one more snippet of

my Declaration in the lawsuit filed against me by Kelman/GlobalTox:

58. In the Kilian case, it is shown that the widely distributed,

ACOEM dose response theory of people not becoming ill from indoor

mold exposure, is based on the GlobalTox principals' mathematical

extrapolations of one, single, high dose, acute exposure study in

rats.....

60. In the Kilian case, Kelman indicated in his testimony that the

ACOEM Statement was supported by the Institute of Medicine, Damp

Indoor Spaces Report (IOM Report), published in May, 2004. Attached

as Exhibit 41 is a true and correct copy of the Kilian transcript,

P.880:19-25. Regarding the IOM Report, Kelman was asked " And are

there conclusions drawn by the authors and researcher of Exhibit 90,

the National Academy of Science Institute of Medicine publication,

that are consistent with the positions that- and the position paper

that you published with Dr. Saxon for the American College of

Occupational and Environmental Medicine? " Kelman answered, " They're

certainly consistent. I think this is broader. "

63. From the Haynes case, the following is Kelman's under oath

testimony, a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit

42, P.29:12 through P.30:3. When asked the question by the defense

counsel for Adair Homes, " Based on the studies that you have done,

the literature that you have discussed, and your experinece and

training, have you formed an opinion based on reasonable scientific

probability or certainty as to whether or not there was enough

mycotoxin the the home to have caused any illness to Mrs. Haynes,

Michale Haynes, or Liam Haynes? " Kelman's answer was " Yes. " The

attorney went on: " And, what is that opinion, doctor? " Kelman

answered, " There could not be. I mean, the differences between the

maximum dose that we could come up with and the level at which we see

effects for a broad range of mycotoxins is just too great. "

64. The ACOEM Statement ends with the catch phrase, " Current

scientific evidence does not support.... " This phrase could be

equally applied by the Institute of Medicine regarding the ACOEM

Statement. Attached as Exhibit 43 is a true and correct copy of the

summary page of Chapter 4 of the IOM Report which states " Except for

a few studies on cancer, toxicologic studies of mycotoxins are acute

or short-term studies that use high exposure concentrations to reveal

immediate effects in small populations of animals. Chronic studies

that use lower exposure concentrations and approximate human exposure

more closely have not been done except for a small number of cancer

studies. "

65. In light of this information, the following statement would then

be a more accurate summary of the IOM Report Committee's

conclusions, " 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. "

THIS IS QUITE A DIFFERENT SCENARIO THAN CONSISTANCY WITH THE IOM REPORT THAT

KELMAN TESTIFIES TO UNDER OATH.
