Call for action

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

There are a number of us who have been made ill by mold exposure who are working

to find scientific agencies and governmental groups to help us gain recognition

for our plight. If you know of any agency that might be helpful to all of us,

please let me know.

Mulvey son and Sharon Kramer are currently in Washington working with

Ted Kennedy on a proposal for an investigation within the Government

Accountability Office into the state of medicine related to toxic mold.

As you may know, the ACOEM (American College of Occupational and Environmental

Medicine) came out with a report a number of years ago that basically said that

molds, toxic or otherwise, were not the causative agents of anything besides

simple allergic reactions. The CDC basically came out and said the same thing.

However, just this year, the Wall Street Journal published Court of Opinion:

Amid Suits Over Mold, Experts Wear Two Hats Authors of Science Paper

Often Cited by Defense Also Help in Litigation

By DAVID ARMSTRONG January 9, 2007; Page A1 (let me know if you would like me to

send this to you)

This WSJ article explores the evidence that many defense attorneys in mold cases

cite the ACOEM and CDC in their opinions on the dangers of mold when their

so-called experts are people who have been paid to have those views or because

they have those views, leaving practically no one to back those exposed to mold

with any sense of validity.

There are many of us who have been exposed to molds and our lives have been

forever changed. This is why I am sending you my personal story - I am not a

frivolous person given to flights of fancy and maudlin displays of imagined

maladies.

There is a report by physicians at the University of Connecticut called:

Guidance for Clinicians on the Recognition and Management of Health Effects

related to

Mold Exposure and Moisture which does support people who have been made ill by

exposure to toxic mold.

..

It is a 120 page report so I can't mail it unless you request it, of course!

Here is how you can access it online:

ConContact me, Stensrud, if you know of any scientific, universtiy based

or other creditable agency, based in Washington or not, that could be of help.

Thanks
