Surviving Mold Updates with Ongoing Federal Research

[Guest guest]

Dear Jeanine, Barb, KC, and Dr. Shoemaker,

On behalf of the mold community, I would like to thank you for helping to

bring it to public light that the Federal GAO has updated their web site to

include current research, that negates the phoney science ACOEM just

reissued.

1. As you know, I called CSpan on March 7th. I spoke directly to Pat

Dalton, Chief Executive Officer of the Federal GAO. Told her about ACOEM, US

Chamber, insurer fraud continuing in private sector policy & courts, no

funding or follow up for their directive to the CIAQ., etc Go to minute 36:10

to listen:

014-4/_

(http://www.c-span.org/Events/Washington-Journal-for-Monday-March-7/10737420014-\

4/)

2. Shortly there after, Jeanine, with her eagle eye as she peruses the web

for new research, found that the GAO had added ongoing and completed

research to their web site.

3. Had Barb and KC not been diligently running where Jeanine

placed the info of the GAO, I never would have known they updated the

website to include the new research.

4. I sent the info out to many, including Dr. Shoemaker.

5. He took the time to put it in a logical format and include it with the

information that shows ACOEM's (aka version of the US Chamber's paid for

hire " environmental science " old and new insurer fraud disguised as legit)

science over the mold issue, on his website Surviving Mold.

6. It may be read below in a glowing review of Dr. Shomaker's new book by

Bella Online Book Review.

Excellent team work, you guys!

Surviving Mold review

“Surviving Mold†by Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, contains an ominous warning

for individuals with mold sensitivity: living or working in a water-damaged

building (WDB) can be hazardous to one’s health. Twenty-five percent of the

population is genetically predisposed to be harmed by mold, according to

Shoemaker.

Shoemaker’s book is more than 700 pages long and written for both

health-care professionals and those sickened by mold. It is not light reading

but

for those interested in finding out more about “mold illness,†the book is

an authoritative resource.

I read Shoemaker’s book at my doctor’s urging. She said it might give me

insight into my own health issues. I have severe mold allergies and lived

in a home with a water-damaged basement for years. Fortunately, I moved out

before I was permanently harmed although it has taken me years to recover.

At the time I lived in a WDB, the concept of mold illness did not even

exist. I was simply told I had allergies, especially to mold, but little could

be done. They did try to desensitize me with allergy shots but with

limited success.

Today, a body of scientific evidence supports that exposure to WDB’s

causes an inflammatory illness for individuals with a certain genetic makeup.

Symptoms are not the same in everyone but can include chronic fatigue, muscle

and joint aches, sinus and respiratory problems, ongoing muscle cramps,

mental fogginess and never-ending colds.

According to Shoemaker, individuals with mold susceptibility have a “glitch

†in their immune system. Normally, antigens, like molds, are engulfed by

special white blood cells that clear the bad stuff out fast.

In those with faulty immune systems, the antibody production process fails

and the antigens stay around. This sets off a chain of events where the

immune system eventually turns on the host and leaves the individual with

chronic inflammation, called “mold illness.â€

Shoemaker writes that it is difficult to find health-care providers who

know much about mold illness even though research on the condition continues

to grow. Treatment is available if you find the right caregiver.

This detailed book is a “must read†for individuals looking for answers

on whether exposure to mold could be responsible for their health problems.

It provides information to take to your doctor.
