" Scientific studies show that mold in the walls and ceiling

of homes substantially raises the risk of a asthma and

other respiratory problems and adds $3.5 billion to the

annual national health bill.... "

But wait a minute. I thought the US Chamber of Commerce

told us all these mold illnesses were just a result of

trial lawyers, media hype and junk science? Gee, wonder

where they got their misinformation and why they promoted

it to the real estate, insurance, mortgage and building

industries without thoroughly checking it out? And wonder

who has made and saved a ton of money promoting this misinformation

while the sick, when at their weakest and in the most need

of help, have been unable to obtain viable medical

treatment and have been virtually shunned as lepors?

I am of the opinion that the lies that have been allowed to occur over the

mold issue, while many a good man stood by and did nothing, should go down as

one of the lowest moral points in the history of the United States. I am so

thankful to the members of these chat board who have helped tremendously in

getting the truth of the matter out.
