Re: Link from OSHA regarding MCS

[Guest guest]

why would OSHA site anything from Gots? and gee, I dont think a

illness would get this much attn. if it wasn't real. they need to get

real, how many have to suffer? Gots needs a good dose of it himself

so he can understand what it's really about.

There is a really good article that I read a few months ago called

" TIED TO THE RAILROAD TRACK OF PROGRESS:

How the American Ideology of Progress

Fuels the Oppression of People with MCS "

By Sharon Wachsler

Its easy to find on the net, using Google's cache.

There is also another really good article about MCS that I read recently

online at

Does anyone else think its disgraceful that OSHA, which is a US government

agency, is basically now ENDORSING this Gots fellow who was involved in the

tobacco and asbestos industry cover ups, among other things?
