Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hey Marcie, Try to get your story on one of those daytime talk shows, like Dr Phil, Monteil , or Oprah. For one it gets the toxic mold story out. Secondly, they usually pay for everything. I know Oprah is very concerned about LA victims and your mold story might interest her as something to warn Hurricane Kathrina victims of. > Marcie McGovern <marcie1029@y...> wrote: > Way tooo sick to travel! No Money to travel with. Dr.Rae in EHCD in Dallas saw me and stated that I was one of the worst he has seen exposed to mold but.....the money comes first. Even though they have research scientist that work there.....I have to pay. They do not take insurance. His letter to WC is $250. - $500. To a lawyer it is $500 an hour.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'll gladly donate a copy of Mold Warriors to anyone that you can get to do your story!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'm willing to try!! Send me an address and I'll send her a copy of Mold Warriors along with my story!! Sue Oprah would be better as she has the resources and gets the bigger audience. Perhaps if a few of us write our own versions of this concern for residents of New Orleans, mention Mold Warriors, Marcie's situation. It doesn't hurt to try.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Dr Phil is more into interpersonal things but Oprah is very upset about what happened in New Orleans. I saw pictures of her down there looking at the wreckage with tear streamed face. She helps alot of people if she sees a need. Perhaps a story with and tell their story, with Marcie new victim who lost insurance due illness, now able to get treatment. Afterall, a second devastation that could be visited upon these people, the poorist in our nation, is illness if they move back into these moldy homes. We have a story to tell the people of New Orleans about, i.e. what happened to us from moldy homes and office buildings. In other words, she needs to know and tell her audience about 'sick building' syndrome. Another show that may be interested in the Monteil Show, but Oprah would be better as she has the resources and gets the bigger audience. Perhaps if a few of us write our own versions of this concern for residents of New Orleans, mention Mold Warriors, Marcie's situation. It doesn't hurt to try. > I'll gladly donate a copy of Mold Warriors to anyone that you can get to do > your story!!!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Barb, You're right, it never hurts to try. The more the better. But so you are aware this has been done over and over and over again in the past 5-10 years. We were working with her staff personally and we were emailing them packages of many stories, along with any other information, such as research that they had asked for. Nothing happened. We've done this with many shows and nothing has happened. We are not only dealing with Oprah herself or Montel or Dr.Phil, it's their sponsors and their best interst does not lie with people that have been sicken with mold. We have offered to hook them up with some of the best experts, again with no response. Several of these talk shows, Jane ey, Rob and several others have all done one show addressing mold with victims and experts and that was the end of it and for a couple of shows literally. There are so many stories out there and what's hard to get across to the public is that many of our illnesses are not visable (or the effects of mycotoxins.) This is where Mark Tatum, that is no longer with us, helped us tremendously because his was visable and it was absolutely no doubt that mucormycosis (fungal infection) caused this horrendous disfigurement. We were dealing with Oprah's show for many months talking to them personally about the effects it had on Mark, what he & his wife have been through and many other victims and they blew him off, after leading him on for several months. I would love to get somebody like Marcie, along with Janet and several other horrifing stories were it has affected the husband, wife and their children. Or even maybe some that have lost a family member due to this. I'm not saying to give up by no means, but don't be disappointed. Oprah was ooh an aahing over the devistation and the effects it had on their immediate lives, lets see if she has the same response to their crys when they can't get out of bed in the morning, because either they inhaled too many contaminates (mold) or most likely bacteria (they will blame it on) or the CDC will blame it on other causes and not the truth.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Anyone of these shows that you have experts attending, pro and con, we would want the best of the best that have been in it for many years and knows all the ins and outs without any hesitation. Otherwise they will chew you up and spit you out, that's what they do best, because that is what they get paid to do. You hesitate you are doomed. Maybe not on that show, but any litigation that you are involved and they are representing plantiffs. Which would hurt them in the long run. Here's my list that I would want on my panel and nothing less: Dr.Ken Hudnell, EPA Dr. Strauss, Texas Tech Dr.V Marinkovich, Stanford Dr.Dorr Dearborn Dr.Eckhardt Johanning Dr. Gray Dr.Ritchie Shoemaker Dr.Kaye Kilburn, USC Dr.Harriet Ammann Dr.Chin Yang (P & K, Aerotech labs) Dr.Eugene Cole, BYU Dr.Aristo Vojdani, Immunosciences Lab, Inc Dr. Lipsey I would also would like a couple of the experts that are out in the field doing the initial testing.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 It's an appropriate topic for her show now the New Orleans is 'engulfed' in the stuff. Any ideas for an approach to get it considered? --- In , " tigerpaw2c " <tigerpaw2c@y...> wrote: > Anyone of these shows that you have experts attending, pro and con, > we would want the best of the best that have been in it for many > years and knows all the ins and outs without any hesitation. > Otherwise they will chew you up and spit you out, that's what they > do best, because that is what they get paid to do.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Barb, I agree. It's more than appropriate and long overdue. As far as the correct approach, your guess is as good as mine. It's really trying to get them to grasp the magnitude of this issue and how many are truly suffering, but that might be a problem in itself, because they are aware. Maybe when her producers start hearing more horrifing stories coming out of the Gulf States, maybe then someone will start to pay attention. Start with your story and go from there. It can't hurt.
