Hi LInda,

You asked:

Sharon, if they dismiss the case will your legal fees be paid back. I

surely hope so. Can we write anything in your defense. I include

everyone here in my prayers every night. I am not a really religious

person, but this illness makes you think more about God and what will

happen to all of us. I appreciate everything you have done for us. And

I keep writing trying to get help for us. ---

No. Even after they dismiss the case (and hopefully that is what will

happen) I would have to hire another attorney and sue them for malicious

prosecution to recover my attorney fees. There was a SLAPP motion on this case

back

in 2005. My prior attorney, who was not a libel attorney, did not articulate

the case well among other aspects of the case that I don't want to discuss on

a chatboard. And the motion was denied.

So the only way I can recoup my money is to spend more money. There is case

law that would support this, but it would mean more years in litigation.

So, win or lose, this case costs my family dearly for effectively speaking out

about an issue of national deceit in medicine over the mold issue.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for your help and support. Marcie, Darlene, Jack and KC a

special thanks goes to you. I have been relatively low key about my

litigation with the authors of the ACOEM and US Chamber mold statements on

this

board. I know the problems both health and financial that you all suffer

from. A

little libel suit just seemed to be no big deal in the big scheme of things.

So, to tell you in a nutshell what my lawsuit is about, I have been sued by

Bruce Kelman and VeriTox, Inc for writing in a press release in March of

2005,

that Dr. Kelman " altered his under oath statements. " when forced to discuss

the close relationship of the US Chamber paper (that concludes your

illnesses

are merely a result of trial lawyers, media hype and junk science) and the

ACOEM mold statement (that is suppose to be an unbiased scientific paper).

Dr. Kelman and Dr. Hardin, who are both principals in VeriTox, Inc, authored

both papers.

The authors have stated that the " scientific concept " of the two papers are

the same. So much for unbiased science! Dr. Kelman has described them as

" lay translation " " lay translation " <WBR>, " translation " " revision " " not lay

tra " l

" two separate works " , etc. In reality these two papers are at the heart of

the deceit over the mold issue. One was the promotion of a false concept as

legit science with the endorsement of a medical association. The other was

the marketing of the false concept by commerce. Togerther, they are a

primary

reason physicians treat mold patients with great disdain as liars and

whiners when they claim mold has made them ill. They have been quite useful

in

fooling the courts that it as been scientifically determined mold toxins

have

not made you ill.

In June of last year, before my expenses in this case became great, I could

have signed a little piece of paper apologizing for my truthful words. They

also wanted me to say that the testimony they give in court is based on

their

understanding of legit science. Remember, I was only sued for 5 words,

" altered his under oath statements " , so to ask me to endorse their science

as

legit was a little much beyond the scope of the suit. I couldn't do it,

knowing

the impact it would have on the sick. Had I signed that garbage, it would

have been perjury and it would have been counter to everything I have told

Congress about the Conflicts of Interest in the matter. I would not have

been

able to live with myself knowing I had sold you all down the river to save

my

own family's skin.

So..it is costing me dearly to defend myself. My legal bills are now at

$150K. I have paid over half of this with the help of my friends, some of

whom

are on this board. And I thank you, so much. You know who you are. But win

or lose the case, I lose financially as my legal bills have to be paid

either way. Which I believe is the point of this case anyway - to run me out

of

money so I will shut up and they can continue generating much money from

defense expert witness fees while yours lives go down the drain. While your

doctors are intentionally misinformed and you can't get medical treatment.

BTW, Dr. Kelman is now claiming that my 5 little words written 3 years ago

have caused him emotional distress. I would like to understand how his

stress

level compares to what many of you have experienced from a deceit in

medicine promoted by ACOEM and the US Chamber.

So, that is what this case is about. I have a motion for summary judgement

that is to be heard the end of June and hopefully the case will then be

dismissed. But win or lose, it could cost me my home just to pay my legal

fees.

So, I do appreciate the support both emotionally and financially that you

all

have provided.

To read Dr. Kelman's testimony in question, the press release I authored and

decide for yourself whether he was " altering " when describing their

relationship in front of a jury, go to:

(http://www.moldwarriors.com/) ) . They are on the

right side of the web page.

Again, thank you all so much.

Love,

Sharon
