Re: Mold Attacks Real Estate

[Guest guest]

Are we going to see big suply of abandoned homes and sick homeless

and pissed off people now? and will the president will have to

declare a natural disaster.because it is a natural disaster, no

different than other disasters that cause you to lose your home and

harms your health.they pick up the costs of what insurance doesn't

cover all the time. why should this be any different.is the goverment

going to cover the MISTAKES of the ACOEM which also played a part in

insurance getting out of paying on these claims? a natural disaster

is anything caused by nature that harms your health. and we can do

many things to try to help us fell better but the truth is that there

is no cure. and there may not be one in our life time.We need to be

getting the same attention that people exposed to chemical warfare

should be getting. and I say SHOULD because if they can't treat us

how in the world will they be able to treat them. the only difference

would be that they get immedite help and are not left to suffer with

thier toxic exposure. the ones that were, are suffering just like we

are. the most important part of a chemical exposure is immedite

responce, decontamination and detox. why are we being left to suffer?

some one is responceable and should be bellying up to the table to

start makeing things right. if you make money off of other peoples

suffering isn't it only right that that money should be used to than

try to end thier suffering or at least give them as much comfort as

possable? if these people can't put thierselfs in our shoes they

should have to go live in our moldy houses.

I think that all the people who have not been able to file lawsuits because

of the ACOEM fraud should have their statute of limitations start at when it

is overturned, because the statute is supposed to start running WHEN THEY

ARE FIRST ABLE TO SUE.. not before it.

Of course this is all a little game for them...

game over, we all lose..

Yes someone should be held responsible. Also the companies that make

all these cosmetics/fragrances, cleaning products, etc. should have

to each put money in a fund to pay for all the people with chemical

asthma or mcs. To have to live like this trying to dodge mold and

chemicals in soooooo abusive of the system. I expect someone to have

to pay eventually. Just like DuPont is finally admitting they are

taking the C8 or whatever out of teflon in 10 years or so. What are

we suppose to do for the 10 years.
