We Are The Lab Rats - was: Ticking Clock

[Guest guest]

I agree with everything you said, except your last two words. Based on my own 3

year " scientific experiment " I would change your last to words, to read: " is

inevitable " . My " scientific experiment " used 2 lab rats. The first lab rat was

my father. The second lab rat was myself. Both lab rats were exposed to the same

moldy environment for a period of 4 months. At that point, the second lab rat

was lifted out of the moldy environment, and NOT re-exposed to any mold. The

first lab rat chose to stay in the moldy environment for an additional 20

months. Every day, that first lab rat was told [by the second lab rat]: " if you

stay exposed to the moldy environment, you will die " . During this " scientific

experiment " , that first lab rat was admitted to the hospital, eight different

times. During those hospitalizations, the first lab rat was told [by the second

lab rat] that the improvement in his health, was primarily due to not being in

his moldy environment, while he was in the hospital. But, since all lab rats are

very stubborn, he would say that there is " NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF " that mold

exposure can kill you. The " scientific experiment " continued until the death of

the first lab rat, after 2 years of mold exposure. The second lab rat is writing

this posting.

The moral of my true tale, is that we, as mold-sufferers, and former

mold-sufferers, do NOT have the luxury of waiting for all the scientific

experiments to be printed in scientific peer-reviewed professional journals. We

must rely on what the scientists label as the " anecdotal " evidence of our OWN

suffering. We must LEAD the scientific and medical " establishment " ,not wait for

their " discoveries " , because WE ARE THE LAB RATS.

You favorite Lab Rat, Joe

> I would like to be sure that I understand what you are saying. Are you saying

that you don't believe that mold exposure can cause death? Or are you saying

that you believe that it is highly unlikely that mold exposure can cause death?

Or are you saying that " scientific principles " prevent you from linking mold

exposure to death? Or are you saying something else? And, if so, exactly what IS

the relationship between mold and death? Please clarify your position.
