Re: Farmer's Lung?Post came out hard to read. Do over!

[Guest guest]

Hey KC,

That is a really good article. The one in the Encyclopedia Britannica

takes

it even a step further and explains how Type III hypersensitivity (advanced

farmer's lung) involves much more than the lungs. It talks of the

cognitive

dysfuction from this and how it is similar to many autoimmune diseases:

Immune complexes underlie many autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus

erythematosus (an inflammatory disorder of connective tissue), most types

of glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the capillaries of the kidney), and

rheumatoid arthritis

..

Type III hypersensitivity reactions can be provoked by inhalation of

antigens into the lungs. A number of conditions are attributed to this type

of

antigen exposure, including farmer's lung caused by fungal spores from

moldy hay...

So, if this stuff is even acknowledged in the Encyclopedia Britannica, then

why doesn't your doctor know how to treat you? Answer: Because there is an

inner circle of a national medical policy-writing body, the ACOEM, who does

not want your doctor to know!

The ACOEM Statement has been cleverly worded to imply to those without

in-depth knowledge of the matter, including physicians, that there is no

evidence

of prior healthy people becoming ill from mold exposure. The catch phrase

conclusion sentence that is used over and over again, states, " Current

scientific evidence does not support the proposition that human health has

been adversely affected by inhaled mycotoxins in homes, schools and office

environments. "

The calculated marketing spins of this one little sentence have had

trememdous negative impacts on our society. The sentence has been used to deny

legitimate illness, misguide mold remediation efforts, stifle medical

understanding and win court cases based on irrelevant, yet accepted

information. It has

been parlayed as a mantra by the Manhattan Institute, the US Chamber of

Commerce and their affiliate stakeholder industries for the purpose of

limiting financial liability.

By using the word " mycotoxins " instead of the word " mold " , and

strategically placing it as the final sentence, Final Word, it accomplished

the

insideious goal of the intended implication: mold does not make one sick.

By differentiating homes, schools, and offices from all other environments,

under the guise of conclusive dose response rat studies, it eliminated all

significance of vast medical research that was known about fungal diseases.

It

established that all prior research of illness caused by fungi would only

apply to everywhere else on the entire planet except homes, schools, and

offices.

An example of how this differentiation in environments is misused would be:

A farmer and a teacher could both exhibit the exact same serious

neurological

and cognitive dysfunctions indicative of Type III hypersensitivity or

toxicosis after an abnormal exposure to mold and/or toxins. The farmer would

be

treated with antifungal and/or toxin eliminating measures. The teacher

would be

labeled unstable and would be mistreated with antidepressants. Attached

hereto as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct copy of a national defense law firm,

Gordon and Rees'

interpretation of how to use the ACOEM Statement in court to defeat

legitmate mold

injuries. Attached as Exhibit 10 is a true and correct copy of a definition

from

the Encyclopedia Britannica of Type III hypersensitivity (farmer's lung).

My degree is in marketing. I have been professionally and corporately

trained in marketing and sales. I have 25 years of experience in marketing

and

sales. As such and if called to witness, I am qualified to state, that in

my

opinion: The ACOEM Statement and the Manhattan Institute Version, both

authored

by Kelman/GlobalTox, are nothing more than the core and the vehicle of an

elaborate and injurious marketing campaign designed to deceive the American

public.
