Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 KC and All: As much as I hate to do this, I would like to be removed from the Sick Buildings Group. The reason is because I strongly believe that anyone or group continuing to fuel the dispute amongst our own team members is harming forward progress and enabling those who would like to sweep a very real health problem under the rug. There are two sides to this story and some of the arguments, as presented, are incorrect. In the interest of full disclosure, I recently accepted a role as a member of ACHEMMIC's membership committee; this role is in addition to my primary role in Policyholders of America. It is my opinion, after having reviewed all of the correspondence that precedes the, now very public, " dispute " , the original ACHEMMIC code of conduct that was co-authored and approved by some of the folks who are propelling the dispute, has been repeatedly violated. Within ACHEMMIC's membership, many have asked to be removed from the internal email exchanges because those exchanges have gone from half-way legitimate to the absurd. Instead of adhering to the requests made by many, to be excluded from the " drama " , (a.k.a. " the endless email exchanges " ), the number and nasty tone of the emails have increased -- which actually has resulted in eliminating any legitimacy of the argument made by the ACHEMMIC member that tendered her resignation. Moreover, that former ACHEMMIC member and her proxies' frantic efforts to post the dispute on chat boards and hereon the Sick Buildings Group, have been made aware that their dramatic rantings are divisive and harmful to forward movement of an important public health issue. One cannot help but wonder if those egging on the dispute are actually proxies for the opposition. Whatever the motivation, it is in best interest of anyone and everyone whose health and/or property has been damaged by mycotoxin-producing molds to put down their swords and work together to educate the public, regulators, legislators and industry about the new research and findings that prove what we all know is true. During the last 11 years and until the past few weeks, I have enjoyed the exchanges posted here and have made many wonderful (and lifelong) friends. For that, I am truly grateful. But, given the direction of the group and the forum it is providing for airing internal conflict amongst our own, you have delighted and aided the opposition. Now, I feel it's time for me to move on. I wish all the best for your members and may all of you achieve justice and regain your health! Your friend, Melinda Ballard Policyholders of America In a message dated 8/18/2010 11:36:15 P.M.

Re: HLA Shoemaker genotype, blood titers to molds, and Lyme disease Posted by: " Carl Grimes " grimes@... grimeshh Date: Wed Aug 18, 2010 6:21 pm ((PDT)) Robin, At some point you are going to have to bite the bullet and choose which of the confusing " facts " and " opinions " you are going to trust. If you choose wrong you can use that information to try again. And you keep going and keep refining until you eventually find improvement. No one has the definitive answers you seek and need. Which means you, like me, and others are ultimately alone in this. We can be there for each other and we can get ideas and learn but we have to create our own answers. You are driving yourself crazy and increasing your stress by the obsessive drive for absolute certainty and perfection. Our challenge is to make critical choices with insufficient knowledge. Take a breath, make some choices, and see what happens. Then let us know so we can be there for you whether successful or something less. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC (fm my Blackberry) [] Re: HLA Shoemaker genotype, blood titers to molds, and Lyme disease , What kind of blood test for mold? I also have lyme and am wondering how much is mold. I have the multisuseptable HLA. I think the theives might hav ekilled some mold but the toxins are left behind. Others can chime in about that one.
