CHARLESTON, S.C., July 27 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Policyholders of America (POA) released a consensus
statement written by treating physicians and researchers in
the field on the mechanism and treatment of illness found
in people sickened by exposure to water-damaged buildings.
This illness has been the subject of heated debate that has
resulted in harsh allegations being lobbed at patients by
experts hired by industry to cast doubt on the legitimacy
of the illness. Today however, so-called "Sick Building
Syndrome" is now unveiled to be very real; it's a chronic
inflammatory illness that is easily identified with
available lab testing and treatable using FDA-approved
medications. The research paper is the first in the field
written by physicians with experience treating the
illness. Thorough and rigorous, the paper references
governmental agency opinions, current published literature
and an extensive review of patient data that has made this
subject a political and legal hot potato obstructing
patient care....
