Re: DR. DEAN EDELL,: MOLD CLAIMS ARE ALL PSYCHOSOMATIC

[Guest guest]

Oh, please.

This man needs to be in a chamber inhaling mold and chemcials and lets see

if he has the same VIEW on it being psychosomatic!

I guess in his so called med school he never learned to differenicate

betweem BIOgenic and PSYCHOgenic.

knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and

frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those

who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we

should look around and see what other course is open to us. "

ALL: I will be glad to debate the available science research on the subject

of Environmental Fungi Contamination and the health consequences of

tricothecenes, aflatoxins, etc., exposures with Dr. Dean Edell anywhere or

anytime. It is such a shame that someone I respect so much is so damned

ignorant on this particular subject. Dr. Dean Edell or any other medical

doctor who speaks with such inate ignorance drop in on several cancer and

HIV/AIDS wards and look into fungal related illnesses related to immune

compromised patients before we speak, because I am not going to slow down

for any sloppy investigation on this lethal subject. Start with your own

Merck Manual 17th edition, Chapter 158 (and others), Page 1209. I have 15

(16 counting this year) years of dedicated research behind me on this one...

I am ready, let's wake the medical profession up! Doug Haney (Author:

" Toxic Mold! Toxic Enemy! " and latest article " The Deadly Side of Fungal

Contamination " ) (916) 972-7783 or Medcorp68@...
