This is by far the most outrageous paper to date. They took 6 medical exams

done by defense court order and made the broad conclusion we are all just a

bunch of women (uteruses) that need psychiatric help. Never mind what

illnesses mold/mycotoxin are well known to cause.

I think this is retaliatory because Saxon of Harbor UCLA has been

forced to disclose how much money he is generating as an expert witness for the

defense in mold litigation when he writes within medical journals both here

and in the UK, (which BTW, is up to $70K per case!!!)

Roll on, Uteruses, Roll on!!!!

This article reports six cases of litigants claiming neuropsychiatric

impairment due to toxic mold exposure. In spite of recent growth in personal

injury

claims due to mold, numerous reviews of the literature have failed to find

an association between environmental exposure to mold and neuropsychiatric

and/or neuropsychological damage. We report data on six patients claiming

harm,

4 of whom revealed a long history of somatization by history and

psychological testing, and 2 of whom were shown to be malingering based on

multiple

indicators of non-credible performance. Of the 6 patients, only the 2

somatoform

patients who were also depressed showed credible evidence of

neuropsychological dysfunction. We review two other studies that have

examined the link

between mold exposure and cognitive impairment and discuss their limitations

in

view of the presenting behaviors of these 6 patients. Until the literature

has

established a credible link between mold and

neuropsychiatric/neuropsychiatricneuropsychiatric/<WBR>neuropsychologic<WBR>al

evaluations. Principles for forensic evaluations in this special population

Dr Schaller, because of the remarkable work that physicians such as

yourself, Dr. Shoemaker and others are doing, there exists on record documented

H & Ps

of many individuals where the laboratory data is able to dispute the

contention by defense that mold exposure is essentially harmless. This

evidence of

laboratory data and findings helps to dispel the myth that defense promotes

to mold exposure for women being a somatization disorder without any physical

basis. The continued proof in documentation of mold exposure to mold induced

illness and of the serious nature to this, will continue to be eye opening

to many.

Yes, indeed, there are those that need to wake up and smell the mold-because

this problem aint going away and it is only getting worse. The defense

industry has created a monster. And yes, not unlike the image of those from

the

Tobacco Industry raising their hands under oath, swearing to the fact that

cigarettes are not addictive-that cigarette smoke is not harmful to ones

health, so the defense industry continues to convince the public at large that

toxic mold is not hazardous to ones health.

Using their only defense that physicians specializing in mold exposure

documenting illness due to this, are simply " charlatans, " women ill from mold

exposure are " malingering " and " neurotic, " and the population in general that

just might have been made ill from exposure to mycotoxins-is disputed through a

rodent study. How very sad for those that are putting their reputation on the

line with these name callings, fabrications, distortions and manipulations

of truth.

For defense the financial stakes are obvious. As for the remainder of many

people.... only when one loses their health do they then place a true value

to this, to which health then becomes more important than money or even

happiness. There is the realization that when you have your health, you have

everything. It is only a matter of time before those from the defense

industry-and or their family members lose their health due to mold exposure.
