Sound Bite Of The National Deceit LAWeekly Just Promoted.

[Guest guest]

Sharon Kramer, July 28, 2008

" You cannot take a rat study, add some math and profess to scientifically

conclude thousands of people claiming they are being made ill from 'toxic

mold' are simply doing so because of 'trial lawyers, media hype and Junk

science " .

References for the above statement:

The United States Chamber of Commerce July 17, 2003

“Thus the notion that ‘toxic mold’ is an insidious secret ‘killer’ as

so

many media reports and trial lawyers would claim is ‘Junk Science’

unsupported by actual scientific study.â€

American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, October 27,

2002

" Levels of exposure in the indoor environment, dose-response data in

animals, and dose-rate considerations suggest that delivery by the inhalation

route

of a toxic dose of mycotoxins in the indoor environment is highly unlikely

at best, even for the hypothetically most vulnerable subpopulations. "

Langerman, LAWeekly comments, July 25, 2008

“Mr. Heimpel states: 'Kramer still claims that Kelman and his two co-authors

base their conclusion on mathematical extrapolations from a single rat

study. In fact, they base their findings on numerous studies of rats and mice

performed by other scientists.' This statement is inaccurate. Ms. Kramer is

correct that the threshold limit for toxic effects which is the basis for Dr.

Kelman’s conclusion that indoor exposures to mold pose no meaningful risk to

healthy individuals was based on an extrapolation from a single study involving

rats.â€

Sharon Kramer, LAWeekly comments, July 26, 2008

" I am right about the deceit in science that has caused so many sick people

to be unable to obtain proper medical care. And the reason for this is that a

medical association - with a long, dubious history of publishing industry

friendly science – and a think tank, along with the most powerful industry

lobbying group in the world, the US Chamber of Commerce, have legitimized the

science penned by an old Tobacco scientist, and then mass promoted his feat of

scientific magic that has harmed the lives of many. "

Sharon Kramer, Request For Retraction LAWeekly, July 28, 2008

" An important misstatement of fact in the LAWeekly article is that Mrs.

Kramer refused to sign a letter of apology in the defamation case. The actual

statement Mrs. Kramer refused to sign is, “To my knowledge, their (VeriTox)

testimony and advice are based on their expertise and objective understanding

of the underlying scientific data.†The statement is contradictory to

information she and several others have relayed to the Federal Government

Accountability Office; The Senate Majority Health, Education, Labor and Pension

Committee; and the Congressional Oversight and Government Reform Committee,

Office of

Congressman Henry Waxman. "

Arnold Mosberg, Senior Toxicologist, R.J.Reynolds Tobacco, December 17,

1987

Letter to Bruce J. Kelman, Manager, Biology and Chemistry, Battelle Pacific

Northwest Labs

" During the past week however, we have been notified that two important

deliverables will be delayed by a minimum of six weeks. These include

manuscripts

describing the conduct and results of two subchronic inhalation studies, and

more significantly, the draft final report from our most recent subchronic

inhalation study, BNW No . 2311212296 . The report was due on 12/1/87, but I

understand it will not be available prior to 1/15/88 . I am disturbed by

several facets of this news...I am concerned because such information plays an

integral role in our business decisions which often cannot accommodate

milestone slippage of this magnitude...An early notification of milestone

slippage

would have provided an opportunity to minimize the impact of the late report

and to adjust our internal schedules whenever possible....Thank you for the

time to consider this issue and your effort in making our liaison as pleasant

as

possible on a program of great importance to our organization "
