Re: I'm a medically retired Dept. of Defense employee

[Guest guest]

It's so sad how exposure can destroy your life. There are so many

parts of the body that can be affected. The fatigue is so

debilitating. Those who ignore us will have to be affected themselves

one day. My strength is from my God. Let's pray that He reveals

something miraculous to combat the mycotoxins that consume us.

t> I'm a medically retired Dept. of Defense employee (Computer

t> exposure to Toxic Mold in my workplace. I worked for an agency

t> who's mission is unconventional weapons of mass destruction to

t> include chemical, nuclear and biological. This agency has a

t> biological incident in their own building and have left me with no

t> medical assistance. I am currently fighting a Workers Comp. claim

t> and my HMO will not cover my medical due to it being a work related

t> incident (per their words). I am part of the clinical trials/

t> published studies (@Sept. 04) of Dr. Gray, Dr. Kilburns

t> etc....which missed being included (by only months) in the

t> government report from the Institute of Medicine of the National

t> Academies " Damp Indoor Spaces and Health " (May

t> 04).

t> I have a copy of a 1997 Dept. of Army report " Medical Aspects of

t> Chemical and Bological Warfare " , Chap. 34 " Trichothecene

t> Mycotoxins " which address " Mycotoxins, by products of fungal

t> metabolism, have been implicated as causative agents of adverse

t> health effects in humans and animals ..... " and its use in

t> Biological warfare referred to as " yellow rain " . I noticed the

t> Globe has the Mold Cycle but a very important part of that cycle

t> which causes a lot of damage is the mycotoxins created by the mold

t> and its cycle. I have severe neurological damage, lung damage &

t> asthma, chemical encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy,

t> proinflammatory immune toxicity, fibromylgia ..the symptoms and

t> diagnosis is long.

t> Making it more difficult is I'm also multi-chemically sensitive so I

t> require a protected environment free from mold, fungus and chemicals

t> (pesticides, cleaning detergents, perfumes, solvents, paints,

t> protectants, etc....to include all organic diet ) otherwise I have

t> from mild to severe reactions which include swelling, nausea,

t> vomiting, coughing, unable to breath, confusion, memory loss,

t> rashes, pain throughout body (muscles and joints), unable to sleep,

t> sweats/cold chills, etc.....and with so many chemicals being used

t> in our society ...I am sick all the time unless I isolate myself.

t> My former agency (DTRA) is ignoring this problem (to include myself)

t> and are still in the building which also has Counter Intelligence

t> offices. This causes me concern since biological warfare is their

t> area so they should be well aware of the effects. This could be a

t> very effective terrorist weapon - easy to plant and let time and

t> environment do the rest. Pretty soon you have a group of

t> individuals who are very ill, not getting much accomplished and

t> dropping off from Cancer or some other disease. I went from running

t> 3 miles a day, working out in Gym, Computer Specialist w/great job,

t> attending College with high GPA to this. It has destroyed my life.
