Mark,

Nothing personal and please don't take it that way, but the

information

on the website leaves alot to be desired. This information that you

state, " The information on the website is based on current and

verifiable peer reviewed scientific data. In addition it contains

links to the EPA's website on mold and other reputable governmental

agencies. " is a joke right?! You're not really serious I hope.

Reputable governmental agencies is an oxymoron, they are the ones

that got us in this position to begin with. Do a search on the GAO

archives they have been aware of this for a long time and clearly

states it is too big of an issue and we don't know how to handle

it.

Some of your resources only have the qualifications to deal with

allergens, not toxic exposures or reactions, such as the ACOEM.

There is a couple of good resources that are used such as the,

IICRC, IAHA, the New York City Dept.of Health, the AIHA is the only

reason I gave your resource department a B. Otherwise it would have

received an F. I don't have time to comment on the other grades that

I have given the health department. You need to find resources that

DO NOT have a politicial or financial agenda in the interest of big

industry. We're talking about human lives and the health affects of

mycotoxins due to indoor contamination. The way it has affected many

human lives, to the extent it has,our medical records prove it. Look

at the records before and after. You might want to critize the

adults because of possible litigation, but you can't blame or

critize the children, or can you....

People from Wisconsin that have contacted me can not seem to get any

medical help FROM ANY AGENCY THERE OR DOCTORS, because all these

people want to do is pretend it is all allergies, when in fact it is

not and people are gravely ill and some have died as a direct

result. This also pertains to OSHA that many have contacted and some

of these phone conversations were some of the nastiest people that

we have come across. Their response, " So what do you want us to do

about it? " " We can't help you. " " We don't get involved with

that. " " Contact the EPA, contact this one, contact that one. " Keep

passing the buck, nobody wants to be responsible.

Mold DOES cause asthma and I will send you that research along with

a couple other articles that you should have on your website, if you

are allowed to post them. The ACOEM report has been torn to shreds

because of their methods (or lack of) by their own members who were

excluded from the review.

I'm sure there will be others that will add to this. I'm sorry to

say that the information that you are promoting is a slap in the

face to the people LIVING IT on this board, at least the ones that

are still here that hadn't paid the ultimate price.
