Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 , You've got to learn to use less verbiage and stop repeating yourself. My favorite part of your e-mail is the PS -- I'm working on that. Buz PS I used to live in Santa . Pretty.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Since so many people watch television for not only entertainment, but also education, would it be a good idea to ask the writers of popular television shows such as Grey's Anatomy or Boston Legal to do an episode about mold illness/mold injury??? This may be a good way to enlighten more people a about the symptoms of mold illness, methods of diagnosing and treating patients, and the legal aspect of dealing with mold illness/injury. If the writers could get infomation from Dr. Johanning, Dr. Shoemaker, or Dr. Lipsey, it would be more realistic rather than fictional. The events that mold illness sufferers go through in their health and legal battles is probably dramatic enough to add to television ratings. It may just be a good way to make more people aware of this increasing problem. Most people where I work did not see the toxic mold in our building as serious matter until they saw the Extreme Makeover Home Edition episode in which the husband had previously died from exposure to toxic mold. Any thoughts on this ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
