Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I am a Roman Catholic and feel that, in light of the child sex abuse scandals, I feel is an appropriate analogy. The medical profession has a high ethical standard, not unlike the one, which a church leaders are supposed to comport itself, and have compromised themselves, in the same devious fashion. Doing bad things, then covering them up. For years. It is the notion of " abuse of trust " that is tantamount here. I am personally ashamed of what has happened in MY church. Although I love the Catholic faith, the " players " have abused the confidence of the people. Abuse of confidence is never a good thing. In any context. There have been trials, and convictions, and jail for this bad behavior. Catholic Parishes have closed and people devastated because of lies which were covered up. The medical profession,in my opinion, has abused the confidence and position of honor and good repute, with regard toxic mold, and resulting illnesses. I personally have found doctors who make every effort to maintain their integrity among the corruption which exists. It is doubtful a forum such as this would exist, if members were getting good medical attention and care. It appears that the challenge to the " powers that be'' has been challenged in that profession. No intent to disparage any religion was ever present. Trials and convictions are part of documented history. It was the analogy of " poor behavior " which is at issue, with the recent developments of " group " dynamic of policy decisions affecting the diagnosis, treatment and eligibility for worker benefits. We can certainly disagree, without being disagreeable. I respect the viewpoints, of those whom I don't agree with. No religious disparagement was ever intended. Simply a comparison of two groups whose behavior has been shameful. Please accept my apology if you have been offended.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 ALL/Ginloi: " These doctors who operate behind the group dynamic have as much credibility as the Roman Catholic Church. " I am also a Catholic, but to bring the disciplines of the Catholic church into a conversation relating to unethical scientific research and business practices of the medical profession is like comparing " apples to oranges. " For the medical profession, and teaching institutions to virtually neglect a " Kingdom Fungi " and hundreds of microbial species that have plagued and destroyed animals, human beings, and plant life (and virtually every other living species on earth) for nearly two billion years is not only sacrilegious, but far removed from Christianity and the teachings of Christ. For medical doctors to attend church services on Sunday and allow unethical practices to plague their Hippocratic Oath Monday through Saturday each week by simply stating to their patients, " I don't know about molds, and I don't want to know! " is not a standard of ethical behavior found anywhere in any Bible that I am aware of. When I was in the US Army, if we failed to know the answer to a question asked, our immediate response was, " I do not know sir, but I will make it my business to find out! " One particular " Bible " of the medical profession over 100 years old, and authored by some of the greatest medical authorities in the profession is the " Merck Manual. " Though I had one medical doctor express to me that, " The Merck Manual is just a reference for nurses and interns! " Meanwhile, literally thousands of people are dying of respiratory diseases, neurological diseases, cancers, and other forms of diseases where the influence of molds carry a primary impact. I also do not apologize for what I am stating herein, because scientists of research esteem have been writing about this impact in medical journals for well over a century, but somehow the ACOEM (a " college " ???) seems to have basically overlooked the science at hand! When members of the ACOEM and other medical associations fail to question authority of their elected/appointed peers, are they not failing the ethics of their profession and themselves? In the Merck Manual, eight of the eleven serious fungal diseases mentioned in the Medical Mycology section, Chapter 158 (Centenial Edition 1999) specificies that the respiratory system is the primary mode of microbial entry (i.e., breathing pathogenic fungi through the mouth and nose). Ask any 5th Grader, and on that one and perhaps nearly every doctor that professes that external and internal colonized fungi are not unhealthy to animals and human will not be " Smarter Than A 5th Grader! " In fact, better than equating the Catholic or any other church to the medical profession, let's test them against a set of 5th Graders... Who do you think my bet would be on? The fact is, the factual molecular sciences have been removed from the medical equation of fungi and human health, replaced by the value of pure economics and greed over human health and safety. A word to the ACOEM, please... test me in court on that one!!! I'm up and ready for the challenge. The American public has put their hard earned money into the belief that American doctors are trustworthy and ethical, it is absolutely time to step up to 21st Century where communications and reality are only a " keystroke " away from the facts, and do everything it can to place " human life, and the quality of life over anything else that exists! That is what I put my life on the line for in Vietnam, not the absolute " ignorance " that we are observing in the medical profession today. We are Americans, not a " stupid society " following blindly. We question, because when medical care is a a premium (which we are paying today) we expect a proper diagnosis and a healthy treatment plan! We are not getting this today! It is time for the medical profession to " step up to the plate!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Wow, Doug! Well said! Wonder what it will take to finally allow the truth to be revealed?
