Re: NAR PULSE: Get the Facts about Mold

[Guest guest]

This gets me so upset. How dare they take advantage of people. I just went on

this website below and the EPA publication ie A Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your

Home is being sold for $30 when one can get it off the EPA site for free. What

is up with these websites that are trying to sell the public, and us mold

victim's products that we can obtain free on the original sites that offer them.

Talk about make a buck,on us........I think we should start making comments to

the sites regarding selling free educational products,( just like the site that

I found selling the Free IAQ Posters to people)....

Link to the sites list price on a Free EPA publication is:

Shhhhhhhh. There's a LOT we can get upset about where ever we look. The

situation with denial about mold is flat out MESSED UP.

That said, while those of us on this list know that the content of this

document is of zero help to anyone who's had mold colonization and is trying to

tackle the mess it has made in their home and lives, take a second to think

clearly about what's posted here... the page ACTUALLY lists a cost of $15, but

it's not for one copy, it's for a pack of 5 because this page is designed for

real estate offices... it wasn't set up as a resource for us, and it's not meant

to rip off individual citizens, OK?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired all the time, and I have to

budget my outrage for the things that relate to me and can be changed. Do we

want to knock the real estate industry for distributing a government

publication, or do we want to work to get the publication to reflect something

closer to the truth about mold that we'd actually LIKE other groups to

distribute?

Haley, this is part of the industry examples of how we are treated as mold

victims. I know what you are saying. Yes this is piddly compared to the fight

for our rights as mold victims, but I just don't believe that certain

organizations out there that are suppose to help, should be charging for free

products. That is all I am saying. We are all ready financially burdened due

to our mold illnesses, and if we need the material and is offered for free and

many of us do not know this material is free, they spend out of what little they

have to benefit organizations for their own profit. This is minor compared to

what we have to deal with, and I never said it wasn't. Do you understand my

concept of the less minor issue I was trying to get across? I am not trying to

sound harsh, I just think mold victim's that need or want educational materials,

that can't afford them, should know there are other resources out there for them

at no charge. Darlene

Darlene: The publications by EPA, ACGIH and other are not factual regarding the

health dangers of indoor air resulting from microbial growth. If people want

the facts they should go to www.moldenvironment.com You and I are trying to get

the facts out to the Public.

I have been working with the Bermuda Police Department. Police officers have

died, some have brain aneurisms, and other kidney failure. Those with kidney

failure may need transplants. Lung disease is also prevalent.
