Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 KC: I received this email today and gave an answer to the lady inquiring about May and her T-2 toxin testing. I thought the group might be interested once again regarding this issue. Ms. Drummond: Ms. May is pulling her legs. In order to do human testing (diagnostics) the laboratory must be approved and licensed by CLIA. Ask her for the CLIA license number. T-2 toxin can come from one's diet. It is produced by various species of Fusarium and is found in grains, particularly in cereal grains of the S.E. U.S. Furthermore, it has been 40 plus years since since the Viet Nam fiasco. I doubt very much that current T-2 toxin testing will identify an exposure that took place 40 years ago. As you are aware, people are exposed to mold and mycotoxins in their homes, offices and schools resulting from water intrusion. When we test these subjects they have low level mycotoxins in the sera and urine (parts per billion ranges). Therefore, if this veteran eats contaminated cereal grains or has been exposed at home or office, then he will probably have some mycotoxins in his urine. T-2 toxins are not produced by Stachybotrys and other molds found in the indoor environment. The T-2 toxin test kit that she is marketing was developed and is only used to determine T-2 toxins in cereal grains. Again, CLIA is the arm of U.S.F.D.A. that regulates human diagnostics in the U.S. If the laboratory does not have a CLIA license to do this testing, then do not use it. What I suggest you do is to contact CLIA of the F.D.A. and ask them to look into this matter. This type of misrepresentation must be stopped. I have attached Ms. May's resume. She has absolutely no qualifications in her training regarding mycotoxins and molds., let alone agent orange and other chemicals. She is a registered nurse. Read the resume for your own edification. If you have further questions or do not quite understand what I have written above, please feel free to contact me. May and T2 Dear Dr. Thrasher: I read your replies about the Oak Ridge School and Ms. May. Ms May is claiming to be able to help Veterans who where on board ships, secret ops and others that show exposure to agent orange, AO, and the DVA (Dept of Veterans Affairs) denies Veterans benefits. Some of these Vets military records are sealed because of National Security and can not prove exposure because of this. Ms May claims a $45 urine test kit plus $300 lab will show T2 in the urine which will prove exposure to AO as she says it was only used by the military. My questions if you can answer any or all...will be most helpful...and permission to use your name as a source of my inquiry. I have a very dear friend who husband has cancer and has been denied VA benefits because of lack of proof of exposure. He has started 36 intense cancer treatment done daily except weekends. She is falling for Ms. Mays claims...I know May is a con...but I need something to show her so she won't waist her money or get her hopes up. What I am need anything that I can prove Ms May is a con..Anything, that might stop Veterans from falling for her con.
