Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 a/All: Since you were the first to ask, here is what I can relate at the moment. When I initially arrived and served in Vietnam, I was placed into a MASH unit with the " Big Red One (this was before I was transferred to a combat unit up in Quang Tri/I Corp). " The area surrounding Ben Cat, where I was located at that time was called the " Iron Triangle " The Iron Triangle, as any Vietnam veteran who served " In Country, " and they will tell you that throughout the war, this area was a literal " hot bed " of enemy action. With that scenario in mind, I am choosing to call what I am about to relate as the “Iron Triangle of Sacramento.” In Sacramento presently, there are three potential litigation matters [volcanically about to erupt] involving three important state and local government entities, two of which own and continued to operate in water-damage/plagued sick buildings with longstanding knowledge of the potential environmental health hazards present within these buildings. All of these matters directly relate pathogenic human exposures to a variety of microbes (several strains of micro fungi and bacteria) and chemicals. All involve prevailing and ongoing serious human health conditions attributable to both biochemicals and bioaerosols that ARE conclusively and verifiably associated with the unhealthy environmental conditions of these buildings. All have multiple errors in judgment, possible illicit activity, conflicts of interest, and fraudulent concealment and several other legal concerns attached to private industrial and governmental activities within their administrative infrastructure. One of these matters has already been adjudicated in the California Workman’s Compensation system, where the plaintiff’s compensation for injury was recently denied. This particular case has virtually opened up a literal “can of worms” that currently is being; or about to be, investigated by several federal, state, and county government investigative entities. In this case the Department of Homeland Security, has been notified of the circumstances pertaining to certain improprieties that have taken place that could affect the health and welfare of millions of Americans. This case is also has human rights issues at its base; calls the ACOEM’s “general guideline” California WC adopted practices into question; and, may well have serious implications for massive changes in California WC and workman’s compensation programs nationwide. The second situation involving a 24-story building housing state workers and other industrial entities, unfortunately I cannot comment on at the moment. The third situation involves a senior citizen complex run by a county entity that in the past year alone it is alleged, is water damaged/plagued with prevailing unhealthy environmental conditions; has observed several people die of cancers, respiratory failure, and possibly one suicide. City and county administrative personnel were made aware of the years of neglect faced in this building. Management had made promises to residents that this building was on a “6-month, fast-track” for revitalization/reconstruction for a few years, and yet virtually nothing has been done at this juncture. Since I am involved with all three of these unfolding situations, at the moment they are not open for any further presentation. However, each matter has potential as a “media explosive” news item. Each matter will no-doubt exploit what pathogenic micro fungi exposure victims have known and experienced for at least a decade now, that such exposures cause serious health problems in humans. And, each matter will definitely expose exactly why molds and yeasts/mycotoxins and mvocs; found in all kinds of American products as opposed to viral and bacterial microbes, have been placed on the “back burner” of government/private industry-funded research. Some of you may not realize how extremely important these matters are. However, those of us who have been studying, researching, and reporting how dangerous indoor microbes, particulates, and toxins are to human health, and how the science behind the studies have been maliciously distorted, maligned, and concealed might understand the potential herein. These unfolding matters also promise to expose the trials and tribulations that esteemed medical doctors and scientists who have been medically diagnosing, treating, and researching “toxic molds” have had to endure at the hands of those who have purposely condemned and attempted to ruin them professionally. Since I began to devote what I had learned of the molecular sciences in over a decade of personal study, to the study of micro fungi and environmental health initiating in 1999, I have been waiting something such as I have just described to unfold. When I began my quest to understand the magnitude of microbial infestations and contaminates in unhealthy or “sick” buildings, I did not believe that molds were anymore than simple allergens. I could never have been convinced for a second that medical doctors whom we entrust with our health and very lives, could actually be petty, corrupt, or dishonest; especially in the United States of America. I would never have believed that our political system of justice and government would place economics above human health and safety. And yet, now I am disillusioned and find myself mistrusting, not because of any since of impropriety, but because I have experienced and observed it over the last eight years not just in Sacramento, but as I have traveled across our Country. With these three possible litigation matters unfolding, and my personal involvement in them (together with experts of the highest qualifications being notified and retained), our efforts will no-doubt assist with unbiased facts and scientifically “peer-reviewed” materials that are bound to be heard, VERY CLEARLY. I cannot say weather or not I would vote for Senator Hillary Clinton or not, but yesterday I observed her say something that is absolutely true (rare for a politician of course). She stated, “Something is seriously wrong in American, and I want a chance to fix it before it is too late.” She is absolutely right, something is wrong, and how politicians view the unhealthy conditions and federal, state, and local handling down in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of what she was talking about. To my utter amazement, during this election year, not one question have I heard posed about the need for “mold legislation and/or research funding” posed to any of these so-called potential American president-elects’. We should be making this a major election topic in the cities where these candidates visit, as well as in our local and national media. We should be bringing the fact that Michigan Congressman Conyers Jr., has presented three “Mold Bills” to the Congress, and though WE have solicited both Senator and Senator Hillary Clinton MANY, MANY times, we have NEVER received any support from either candidate, such as we have from Senator Ted Kennedy! WHY NOT, if both candidates pose that they are concerned about healthcare in America? The real question is, “what have these candidates done for victims of unhealthy and pathogenic (disease-influencing) mold exposures lately? And, how do they propose to solve this deadly problem, if elected?” Let’s see who has the fortitude to stand up to this kind of heat? Similar questions were posed to California Congressman Dan Lungren in a recent “Town Hall” meeting held in Folsom, California. I met with his staff, discussed the issues much more thoroughly and presented facts, and as a result… NOTHING YET! More will evolve in time, as promised.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Doug and everyone, at least there is some hope. The illness and moving so many times is bad enough but to know the actions of the leaders,etc. of our country has made the illness so mush worse. We need to feel safe and have hope. > > > > > > a/All: > > Since you were the first to ask, here is what I can relate at the > moment.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I wrote to Mrs. Clinton when they were in the White House, got a one sentence untelligent response, but of course it was probably some aide.
