EPISODE373 - Sharon Kramer The Political History of the Toxic Mold Issue

This week IAQ Radio welcomes back Integrity in Health Marketing Advocate Sharon Kramer. Sharon has joined us several times during her lonely journey fighting what she has claimed for years is bad science marketed as truth. She has been shaking up the indoor environmental and medical community for years exposing how conflicts of interest and marketing ploys have been used to deny mold and damp buildings cause health problems. Her hard work lead to a Wall Street Journal article exposing some of these conflicts. The original paper she authored that caught The Journal's attention was "ACOEM Exposed, A Case Study in Sham Peer Review and Conflicts of Interest". The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) has been in her sites for years. It took 11 years of her life to fight against any notion that water damaged buildings are safe. Recently ACOEM quietly revised their paper on mold, dampness and health. Sharon has organized presentations to the US Congress and anyone else that would listen; she created a mandate for the US Senate HELP committee to hear testimony; she caused several media outlets to write of conflicts of interest in science and medicine in United States public health policies and courts; she helped people in New Orleans to provide opinion separate from the CDC analysis of the effect of flooding from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the Gulf; finally she was even jailed in California for two nights for telling the truth of how false science became policy and remained that way for many years. Not many people are willing to spend all their family financial resources to fight for the Truth. Not many people would refuse to retract five words in order to avoid jail time. Join IAQ Radio today at noon eastern and LEARN MORE about the political history of the toxic mold issue.
