Re: Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker
Posted by Greg Weatherman on 1/25/05

    Erica,

    Reading comprehension is a skill they try to teach in public schools
    across America so we won't become a illiterate society fooled by half
    truths.

    No MD can cure all people of all problems. His website states this
    basic truth. I have sent people to him and they were happy with the
    results.

    I don't know about any FDA letters.

    He must understand ACTOS and DIABETES since he is an MD and he is
    DIABETIC (like many people in America). Ten years ago MDs were
    considered quacks for saying DDT or "agent orange" could be one of the
    causes for diabetes - not today. He has focused on MSH levels for a good
    reason.

    Voodoo medicine:

    CSM was shown to allow normally lethal doses of fumonisin B to be
    andministered to rats with no effect. CSM was also tried with horses
    (the equine industy has big money and connections). CSM is in the
    EPA "medical" handbook for the removal of neurotoxins such as
    pesticides. Dr. Shoemaker's research partners are Dr. Ken Hudnell (EPA
    neurotoxicologist) and Dennis House (retired EPA statistician).

    Isolation of Neurotoxins:

    A person can be exposed to organophosphate pesticides and get diagnosed
    in the emergency room for exposure and treated. Medical science has
    never isolated the pesticide from patients at the levels that affect the
    nervous system. Ask Dr. Richard Lipsey (who has litigated these cases
    for decades) if you need to isolate the toxin to prove the toxin caused
    harm when you have environmental exposure noted. Ask him what his job
    duties at the University of Florida required with physicians in Florida
    in the early to mid 1970's.

    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:

    Many times, consutlants test for mold in complaint environments. They
    ignore bacteria. A common bacteria in chronic water damage is
    Streptomyces. It is an Actinomycete bacteria that grows well at room
    temperature starting at a water activity level of roughly 0.84 and
    higher. It can digest cellulose and chitin (mold is composed of
    chitin). More than one species of Streptomyces can produce valinomyocin
    (an exotoxin) which can inhibit the ATP process in cells. ATP is the
    essense of energy in all living life from human cells to plant to germs.
    CFS is not that far fetched. The most common chemical or microbial VOC
    isolated in moldy structures is geosmin which comes exclusively from
    Streptomyces.

    It is the reason dirt smells like dirt.
