Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 OMG! Even Mr. of overlawyered.com that is affiliaited with the Manhattan Institute claims he was misquoted for the article: _LA Weekly: The Mold Rush and the case of Sharon Kramer and Bruce Kelman_ (http://overlawyered.com/2008/07/la-weekly-the-mold-rush-and-the-case-of-sharon-\ k ramer-and-bruce-kelman/#comment-25505) " And here’s how it was translated in the news story: A lot of people are pulling for Kelman — to the great shock of Kramer, long accustomed to being the Brockovichesque heroine. Ted , a lawyer and contributor at overlawyered.com, a Web site that tracks suspect litigation, says, “Entrepreneurial lawyers saw an opportunity to use junk science. … We saw it with power lines, we saw it with Bendectine†— a discontinued drug used to lessen morning sickness in pregnant women. “Every once in a while, trial lawyers completely fool the legal system and make billions with one of these theories, as they did with silicone breast implants. ‘Toxic mold’ was just another stab at the litigation lottery.†I wasn’t asked at all about Kelman and Kramer, but am portrayed as having an opinion about it. And my observations about Brockovich and vaccines were deleted. " As was the President of Homeowners Against Deficient Dwellings, Seats: Hmmm! This reporter never spoke to me, but perhaps the only truth in his story is the statement attributed to me. Yes, I admire Sharon Kramer and the personal sacrifices she and her family have made to fight for TRUTH regarding the harmful health effect of toxic mold in the indoor environment. All of us who advocate for ordinary citizens of this country are unpaid volunteers who understand the power of corporate America to keep the truth buried. The Chamber of Commerce, insurance industry, home builders, and others have millions to spend and we have no dollars -- just the TRUTH and total dedication to getting it out. I have worked with thousands of families across the nation whose new homes experienced water intrusion due to substandard construction and the lack of code enforcement. Many have been forced to foreclosure and bankruptcy because homebuilders have insulated themselves from accountability with worthless ten year warranties and predispute binding mandatory arbitration clauses that insulate them from civil court and keep their dirty work secret. Many citizens have been permanently disabled due to the health effects of living in these toxic homes. If you ever listen to C-SPAN you may have heard former government scientists testify about the altering of their scientific papers by our government that appears to exist for the corporations rather than the government that I grew up believing was BY the PEOPLE and FOR the PEOPLE. We all know that Dr. Kellman is an expert witness for the insurance industry -- and you claim his research is not biased?? Give me a break!! I'm shocked that the editor of this rag would allow such biased nonsense to be published. In my humble opinion I feel it is slanderous of Sharon and the good work she has done. Shame on you -- it makes me question every story in your paper. Posted on Thursday, July 24, at 1:30 pm by Seats **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.

Oh and be sure to check-out the bottom of the page, where it SAYS >> Last updated on Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 (http://www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/append_b.html) Much of the information on the human health effects of inhalation exposure to mycotoxins comes from studies done in the workplace and some case studies or case reports._*_ (http://www.epa.gov/mold/append_b.html#Note:_) Many symptoms and human health effects attributed to inhalation of mycotoxins have been reported including: mucous membrane irritation, skin rash, nausea, immune system suppression, acute or chronic liver damage, acute or chronic central nervous system damage, endocrine effects, and cancer. More studies are needed to get a clear picture of the health effects related to most mycotoxins. However, it is clearly prudent to avoid exposure to molds and mycotoxins. > > OMG!
