TRUE SCIENCE IS MESSY.

Most of the people I went to school with did not consider medicine to be a true

science,

because so much is dependent on point of view, and is as much art as science.

Still, the

best medical professonals, are, in my opinion, scientifically oriented, and

truly interested

in their patient's experiences, as well as response to treatment.

I don't think there are any accpeted facts about toxic mold by the medical

profession in

general.

This is the nature of science. Observe, consider, and propose a model that fits

all the

observed facts.

It is interesting how hard sciences are often unattached to certain theories,

and how easy

it can be to have them say " Gee whiz, how wrong we were! But, it was an elegant

theory,

wasn't it? Now, let's see again, what IS going on? "

Like sea floor spreading. It was a theory , until it was proven to be correct.

There were

many disappointed geologists, in the old school, but all the youngsters were

champing at

the bit to get going, studying the new theory.

Same with the mold stuff. The old stogies will drag their feet, but truth will

win out in the

end. You just can't keep truth hidden forever, that is the nature of it, however

much gov'ts,

churches, or other beaurocrats try to supress it.
