Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 No but I sure would like to get copy by next Tues. March 21!! Sue Has anyone read his book called Mold and Mycotoxins? " Are illnesses associated with exposures to indoor mold growth real, or the results of a conspiracy fueled by media hype and greedy lawyers? This book is a compilation of 18 current, scientific, peer reviewed papers presented in 2003 - a veritable mountain of evidence that many mold-exposed people are indeed sick, with significant brain function impairment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Do you know if any of this info would be helpful in a mold lawsuit for personal injury? I am a little short on funds, but would order it if it would be that useful. My library doesn't have it. Thx.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Is it a she? Read her book- Chemical Brain Injury- although it does not come to any conclusions that would surprise people on this site- it did give me some leverage when I was on the city council trying to fight pesticide spraying- allthough the technical nature of the book was not easy for the layman. Dr Kilburn has been one of the " good guys " for a long time- and attacked by Dupont-etc. > Has anyone read his book called Mold and Mycotoxins? > > " Are illnesses associated with exposures to indoor mold growth real, or the > results of a conspiracy fueled by media hype and greedy lawyers?

I had the honor of speaking with him on the phone today for about 1/2 hour. I plan to purchase his new book Molds and Mycotoxins from Amazon. He's in the process of moving and his office said it would be easier for them if I ordered the book from Amazon. Thanks for the excellent feedback.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Just curious if anyone has seen Dr. Kilburn for evaluation? If so, would love some feedback on the experience. Thanks, Rosie PS: I'm not planning on seeing him. Did order his new book this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
