Dan,

It is sad to say, but I don't think they are capable of feeling shame. Mold

is just one aspect in a game they have been playing for quite a long time.

(not just the Lemon Toss Boys, but many of them). If you look at the history

of some of these " experts " over the mold issue that deny the plausibility of

serious illness from the exposure, what you will find is little to no

background in mold research (mostly none) . But they have extensive

backgrounds in

being experts that deny causation of illness from a variety of exposures.

The next big area it looks like they are gearing up to be self-professed

experts in, is nanotechnology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology#Health_and_environmental_issues

" There is a growing body of scientific evidence which demonstrates the

potential for some nanomaterials to be toxic to humans or the environment [3],

[4], [5]. The smaller a particle, the greater its surface area to volume ratio

and the higher its chemical reactivity and biological activity. The greater

chemical reactivity of nanomaterials results in increased production of reactive

oxygen species (ROS), including free radicals [6]. ROS production has been

found in a diverse range of nanomaterials including carbon fleetness, carbon

nanotubes and nanoparticle metal oxides. ROS and free radical production is

one of the primary mechanisms of nanoparticle toxicity; it may result in

oxidative stress, inflammation, and consequent damage to proteins, membranes

and

DNA [7].

The extremely small size of nanomaterials also means that they are much more

readily taken up by the human body than larger sized particles. Nanomaterials

are able to cross biological membranes and access cells, tissues and organs

that larger-sized particles normally cannot [8]. Nanomaterials can gain

access to the blood stream following inhalation [9] or ingestion [10]. At least

some nanomaterials can penetrate the skin [11]; even larger microparticles may

penetrate skin when it is flexed [12]. Broken skin is an ineffective particle

barrier [13], suggesting that acne, eczema, shaving wounds or severe sunburn

may enable skin uptake of nanomaterials more readily. Once in the blood

stream, nanomaterials can be transported around the body and are taken up by

organs and tissues including the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, bone

marrow and nervous system [14]. Nanomaterials have proved toxic to human tissue

and cell cultures, resulting in increased oxidative stress, inflammatory

_cytokine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine) production and cell death

[15].

Unlike larger particles, nanomaterials may be taken up by cell mitochondria

[16] and the cell nucleus [17], [18]. Studies demonstrate the potential for

nanomaterials to cause DNA mutation [19] and induce major structural damage to

mitochondria, even resulting in cell death [20], "

So maybe he can safely stand within a couple meters of a trash can with a

rotten lemon. I'd love to give these scientists the opportunity to spend one

week in the master bedroom of the house we lived in, if it weren't bulldozed

already. After a week I'd like to hear his comparison of lemons to toxic

buildings, like apples to oranges.

Our daughter went in there against our advice when she wanted to see what we

left behind that might be salvagable as we were travelling to Colorado. She

spent three hours in that room, her skin turned red, rashy, and burned like

the dickens. She had all kinds of problems for days afterwords including the

total loss of her voice.

I don't understand what these men are thinking, sure they are on top of the

game at the moment, playing on the side of the politics, but don't they think

that in the end when it is widespread knowledge how dangerous Mycotoxins

are, that they are going to look stupid that know nothing of scientific

proceedure? Or do they think the public at large is going to remain ignorant

forever?

When the truth gets out, they will live in shame like Bruce Ismay after the

Titanic sank, not that they shouldn't already be hanging their heads.
