Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 This article is written as if its a new concept in the world of neuroscience that these things are additive and that they often show up years or even decades later in life . I think that there was a certain scientist (I forget his name) who first advocated this viewpoint a few years ago and it has become associated with his name.. From what I have read, it seems to be a mainstream viewpoint now. So, applying this concept to mold-initiated illness and brain cell death, someone might get very sick from mold illness, with underlying brain injury, at say age 40, and then appear to make a partial recovery during the years 45-50, and then start to become senile at age 55 instead of the 75 or 80 that they might otherwise.. But because of the statute of limitations, and also because they had made a partial recovery while they still had some of the energy that youth brings, the lawyers and the legal system would probably be successful in preventing their ever recovering any kind of compensation or them ever being able to argue successfully that the two events were connected. Even if the neuroscience community was increasingly acknowledging that the connection was there. One could even argue that its increasingly obvious that since we don't have universal medical care, we need a way of compensating people for toxic insults that had a substantial probability of hurting them in later life, before they actually became prematurely senile and could not present the facts of the case themselves because of that, so that at least these (injured by others) senile people could live out their dotage in some kind of comfort instead of on a Skid Row somewhere.
