Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 at erikmoldwarrior@... raises the connection between SIDS and mould exposure, reminds me of a Ph.D students I was advising back in 1998. She was concern about aboriginal health and conducted her dissertation on this subject. I advised her to sample for moulds in houses with SIDS death as I knew they were built with dirt-covered crawlspaces and would likely have high mould concentrations. She (C. ) published her Ph.D work in the FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology, Federation of European Microbiological Societies Vol. 25, August 1999. Unfortunately she did not have funds to identify species. This issued had several articles that will be of interest to those interested in this connection. You can read the abstracts but the full article requires a subscription. http://www.fems-microbiology.org/ Some of the interesting titles in just this one journal issue are: The role of infection in sudden infant death syndrome, Pages 1-6 C.

Abstract Aboriginal populations in Canada, America and Australia have higher incidences of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than non-Aboriginal groups. Canadian Aboriginal populations (known also as first nation, native or Indian) experience infant morbidity/mortality rates 3–7 times that of non-Aboriginals, with upper track respiratory infection and SIDS recorded as the leading causes. The aim of this investigation was to examine the home environment of Aboriginal infants, particularly during winter months when respiratory tract infections and SIDS are more common. Environmental bacteria, fungi and air particulates were examined in the residences of Aboriginal infants during visits to individual homes on an Aboriginal reserve. The physical histories of SIDS victims were gathered from medical files. Air and surfaces were sampled by agar strips which were processed by a commercial laboratory. The levels of fungi, bacteria and air particulate rates recorded in the reserve homes of Aboriginal infants registered levels considered to be detrimental to the health of the inhabitants. Such extreme levels could contribute to the high incidence of respiratory disease and SIDS experienced by Canadian Aboriginal infants. ====================================== Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 14:41:23 -0000 From: " erikmoldwarrior " <erikmoldwarrior@...> Subject: Gosio's Disease/SIDS/SBS/CFS Cover-Up I put my story in the bmj and described the " mycotoxin connection " between SIDS and CFS as being mediated by potentiated toxins from common molds - and got not one single response. I stated that the refusal of the medical establishment to investigate the mycotoxin connection constituted " criminal medical malfeasance " and failed to stir the slightest interest. I even put this story in front of the SIDS parents who have spent years fighting their conviction of murder and Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy - and they STILL fail to see that viewing the the SIDS phenomenon from the perspective of " The Hypothesis " provides astonishing answers to " unexplained phenomena " such as SBS and CFS. What does it take to get through to people if words will not suffice? - -- Professor Tang G.
