Re: My Story and Immune and Toxicology Expert

[Guest guest]

Dr. W. was one of the authors (with Dr Thrasher and

two others) of a very readable paper on molds and mycotoxins in Dr.

Straus's book " Sick Building Syndrome "

the paper is entitled

" Mold and Mycotoxins: Effects on the Neurological and Immune Systems in Humans "

,

Thanks so much for giving us an update on your son and how your

story has progressed. What can I really say, for except this is

absolutely awesome that your son is doing so well. This is so

pleasant to hear and a bit overwhelming that he is moving in the

right direction. This gives the rest of us some hope that there are

possibilities in recovering from these horrendous effects caused by

mold exposure in water damaged buildings. Our thoughts and prayers

go out to you, your family and everyone else that were unnecessarily

exposed in that school and the authorities that neglected to take

action.

We are the guinea pigs, sorry to say, that can confirm the effects

of mold and mycotoxins and all the research that has been presented

to us over the years. This all could have been prevented for many of

us simply by education and prevention.

I believe it's long overdue for Judy Gerberding from the CDC to

stand on her podium to inform the general public many of the

conditions and effects that mold exposure could/can and will cause.

We know we definately can't depend on the ACOEM, which has been made

obvious by some of their cronies.

Your experience with Dr. is unfortunate, but it does not speak for

everyone. We have had a extremely positive experience with Dr. . Our

son was just about wheelchair bound, MCS so extreme

he could barely tolerate breathing. He was just 10 yrs old with a very bleak

future according to " experts " at 4 major Chicago University hospitals. We found

Dr. and he started treatment immediately. He did have to undergo 4 yrs

of IVIG & anti fungals - but he is 90% better - thanks to Dr. . He was

loaded with molds & mycotoxins from a 6 yr exposure - that's why he needed

antifungals!

As those levels went down, his body slowly healed. My husband & I are on the

same now and we are slowly improving.

There are so few doctors that will listen to or treat people with these

exposures. They could easily have stayed with everyday medicine - and have an

easy life treating people in accordance with mainstream medicine. But they have

all stuck their necks out to help us. They may not all agree on doing things

the same, they have their own ideas & their own research. Dr. has

authored several papers on how mold affects human health. Dr. Rhea does things

differently and has done research also, but on a different path. Dr. Shoemaker

looks at it another way, as does Dr. Gray, Dr. Hooper, Dr. Croft, - all

extremely intelligent and have their own ideas on how to approach the problems

of mold & human health - & I applaud them all for having the courage of their

convictions. They have been hounded by the establishment but keep on going.

We have so few choices in this field, I think that dr bashing is out of line.

Your experience is completely different from others. These guys get beat up

enough without getting it from us. I commend all of them for their courage. You

need to take responsibility as a patient to check out costs before you go to a

dr. I've always done that- even before we were sick. Then, check with ins to see

how much is covered. Some drs with work with patients on costs, if you take the

time to ask. Call them to see how they approach treatment or ask around.

There are enough people out there trying to discredit ALL of these drs, they

don't need it from us.

TX. Were you overall pretty happy with using him? Did you son fully recover? I

see that you said that Dr. is " board Certified " ....he is just a family

practice physician. He does not have a specialty in toxicology, nor is he

certified in Environmental Medicine. I went to him and was very unhappy with

his treatment. He did not do any of the stuff the other EI MD's did to treat. He

charged over $10K for running a bunch of labs that were useless and did not use

to treat anything from the labs. Along with a whole host of other unprofessional

behavior. I would most definitely not recommend this MD unless you just want to

throw a bunch of money at him.
