Re: Re: CDC Director Announces New Center Directors

[Guest guest]

KC, This is so familiar. My doctor would not do the bloodwork for the

remediation exposure unless I had the reports from the company.Of course they

will not give them to me. My doc also told my sister & husband that They know

what kind of doctor I need. In other words, a psychiatrist. I am so mad &

frustrated. This doc is also making me wait a month to get this breast biopsy

that could be spreading if it is positive. The radiologists said it is a level 4

so not needing immediate attention. They seem to ommitt the exposure I had &

other symtoms. There are so few good doctors that have a clue. I feel your pain

posted this and I'll tell you

why. In the very early stages of my wife's exposure searching for an

accurate diagnosis and hopefully treatment, at this time with the

proper evaluation I wouldn't be in the position I am today and

neither would she. This was at the hands of the office of Dr.

Frumkin, who I made the appt with and ended up seeing his associate.

For about 1 hr. his hired help tried to convience us that this type

of environmental exposure of molds/toxins couldn't possibly cause

these symptoms. You never guess what physician the defense is going

to use as their expert?! And his cronie evaluation. He never laid a

hand on my wife for a general check up or anything, but was

convienced that mold does not cause these symptoms. He refused to do

the bloodwork we asked for, said there was no reason for it. She

just doesn't want to work and suggested we get with our general

physician for some antidepressants.

Now how can call this man a doctor and diagnose any illness,

environmental or not without any diagnostic testing? Oh, but he is

an expert according to Washington DC. I asked him if he happened to

see the show on 48 hrs with Dr.E.Johanning. And he said, " oh yeah, I

know him, he's the guy who thinks mold can cause all kinds of

illnesses. Next time you speak with him, tell the stachybotrys nut I

said hello. " So this is why I hold this office partially responsible

for the condition my wife is in today.

Three years later I hear his associate is going to be speaking at a

conference, many about neurological conditions and chemical

exposure. So I called him and mentioned I had heard he was going to

be speaking. Of course I had to flatter him and boost his ego, oh he

was loving it. Then my next question was, are you going to be

speaking about mold and mycotoxins and the effects they have on

humans. He said well I don't know, that's a whole different issue,

but I may touch on it. Then he goes on to say, oh mycotoxins they

can really make you sick. The can cause all kinds of illnesses and

diseases and I said oh really, as I continued to stroke his

ego. " Oh yeah, they can really make you sick. " My next question was

why didn't you say this when I had my wife in your office concerning

her exposure to mycotoxins. Of course then he wanted to know who he

was talking to. Hey doctor, it was me. He said I don't have time to

debate this and I said that there was no debate and he knew it. It

went from a serious disease causing exposure to a debate.

Interesting. If these are the best environmental doctors we have,

then we have some serious problems. I guess his form of diagnosis

and what it's not, must be some form of higher invisable power that

he is able to tap into. You know the kind I mean, the magic wound,

wave it over your head, hocos pocos. It's not mold, oh I can just

feel. And then we are supposed to have respect for physicians like

this, and they want to be called doctors. My title for them would

be, Murderers. A disgrace to mankind. A child every mother can be

proud of, if they only knew. Now his boss is the head of a

department at the CDC. Why doesn't this surprise me. Got to build

that resume' at no cost.

My wife was not the only patient that I had spoken to who went to

this office and got the same opinion and treatment. I call that

malpractice.

Now you know why I posted this.
