I offered Dr Marinkovich the opportunity to hear about " the mycotoxin

connection to CFS " , and he inexplicably turned it down and showed no

interest, which is something I've always found shocking in people who

say they are looking for answers.

They assert that they are, and do the opposite!

Dr M has a partially open mind, but not enough to " Listen to the

patient " as Sir Osler amonished his medical students.

I wanted to find a doctor possessing a mind that is seeking clues and

responds when one is presented, so I kept moving on until I did.

I don't know what Dr Marinkovich's mold treatment is at the moment,

but it used to be aimed at moldy foods and antifungals without

counseling evacuation and avoidance.

Which would have been completely inadequate for anyone at my level of

reactivity - as I demonstrated to him:

So nice that OSHA in this state feels that ONLY visible mold causes

problems.......

If you suspect there's mold in the workplace whom do you call?

And what will they do about it? Newschannel 36 uncovered some facts

about how The Occupational Safety and Health Administration deals

with mold complaints OSHA says if you suspect a mold problem at

work, first tell your boss.... if the company doesn't act, then file

a complaint.

Chemung County Environmental Health Director Tom Kump

says, " everyone will react differently to it individuals that aren't

sensitive to mold won't understand what someone else is going

through who is sensitive to mold. "

Symptoms range from a stuffy nose and cough to asthma attacks,

sinus infections and wheezing. Sounds terrible, but New York State

has no regulations on mold.

OSHA Area Director says, " there really aren't any

regulations that we enforce or anyone enforces that deal with mold

in the workplace so this is really a recommendation of what

employers should do to correct it mold in the workplace. "

OSHA says you can file a non-formal complaint in writing, and

they'll give your employer five days to respond with a letter and

pictures. At that point they might consider the issue " taken care

of. "

" If we get responses back that we deem to be adequate then we

accept them we do not go out and do an inspection, " says

If cleaned up properly the moldy smell should be gone. OSHA

states mold will only cause problems if it's visible

says, " If the mold is behind the wall there's no way

for the allergens or any of the particles that cause a reaction to

get to the people. "

The Chemung County Director of Environmental Health disagrees.

" Certainly if you can see mold there's a greater chance it's

going to have an impact on you. But just because you can't see

something doesn't mean it's not there. " says Kump.

The Chemung County Health Department says if you find a mold

problem it's important to address the source of the mold as well as

the mold itself.

Mold inside of walls is visible. You just need to open up the wall to see

it. That's what the NYC Dept of Health says.

There is a bunch of stuff at

on the reasons why. Especially the last article..
