Re: MCS brought on by toxid mold

C. Williams,

Let me get this straight. You are giving an opinion about an MD that is
kinda slanderous while admitting you "really don't know where the truth
lies". "Lies" is a curious verb used by you. Have you seen or heard about
the research he has done with Pfisteria or other organism that produce
toxins that affect the nervous and immune systems?

It sounds like you don't like his oratory skills and you have made your
mind on the issue of mold and human health. I hope you never suffer from
mold and find you are mentally unable to balance your own checkbook one
day.
