Had the involved California court officers not fixed the SLAPP suits beginning in 2005 1 and tried to cover it up by criminal means for now a decade, the LNT Veritox Theory would have been long gone from advisories providing falsely feigned safety of the military housing. Mr. Kelman of Veritox, Inc. and his attorney, Mr. Scheuer, et.al. would have long ago been jailed for submitting fraudulent documents to the court while racketeering — long before these military children in the Lincoln Military Housing were harmed by the Department of Defense (DOD) agencies being able to cite the Veritox Theory ‘garbage science’ to avoid the liability for harming the children…..
Criminal Kelman’s two co-authors for the 2015 ‘Standard of Knowledge for the Professional Practice of Toxicology’ are an employee of the DOD and an employee of a pharmaceutical company. Thus, a criminal is writing the standards for toxicological practices in the United States with a United States federal employee. Why?….What motivates the federally-funded ‘nonprofit’ toxicological medical trade organization, ACMT, (whose members often serve as toxic tort expert defense witnesses for those who cause environmental disability) to teach physicians that environmental intolerances should never be diagnosed as reactions to not-normal environmental stimuli? This begs the questions: Choosing Wisely® for Whom?”

This document was used coram non judice as the sole foundational document for the 2nd SLAPP suit in 2010. For now over a decade they have been trying to make me appear not credible and to silence me of multiple California judges’ and justices’ frauds upon their courts when case-fixing for the purpose of aiding the Veritox Theory to continue to be used in discrimination of the WDB disabled. The Veritox Theory is the dark-heart of “Toxic Mold Issue”. Many have known it for now well over a decade but remain silent — at best.
Dear Dr. Wax and ACMT Board Members,
RE: Choosing Wisely® to sunset the ACMT Mold Statement as the main references of the publication have already done so; thereby curtailing discrimination of the environmentally disabled and dying by use of the “Veritox Theory”.
Greetings. I am an advocate for integrity in health marketing. I research and write of how and why concepts are promoted to influence physician education, public health policies, insurer practices, and toxic torts in the United States and Canada.
Note: for ease of reading the linked-references for this letter, it may be read online at Katy’s Exposure Blog, in a post entitled “American College of Medical Toxicology, Choose Wisely To Sunset Your Mold Statement”.[1] Short link: http://wp.me/plYPz-3VW
The gravamen of this letter is to request that ACMT stop causing environmental disability, death and discrimination of the disabled and dying by ceasing to promote a flawed scientific concept as appropriate physician education. Three “nonprofit” medical associations have been the primary mass-marketers of an erred concept for use by insurers, governmental agencies, private-sector stakeholders, and many other “nonprofit” organizations to stave off financial liability for causation of environmentally caused disabilities and deaths. The other medical associations which were mass-marketing the illness-causing scientific fraud have ceased to do so. ACMT is the last “learned body” of “esteemed colleagues” still marketing that it is scientifically proven toxigenic molds (and so many other antigens, toxins and inflammagens found in water-damaged buildings, WDB) do not harm humans. This is causing physicians and the public to be left unaware that many are living and working in hazardous environments.
INTRODUCTION
Contrary to what your toxicologist-physician trade association has promoted for a decade, science dictates that a linear-dose-no-threshold (LNT) model cannot be used as proof that toxigenic molds do not harm humans. Regarding the substantial error of promoting the false concept that LNT risk assessment models are able to prove more than they are scientifically capable of doing:
“Eventually a disturbing conclusion was reached, that is, the principal dose-response model… had never been validated, but simply accepted as true, being passed down with authoritative conclusionary statements from textbook to textbook, from professor to student, from regulatory agencies to citizens, across generations of scientists, creating an illusion of knowledge and informed guidance.” Edward J Calabrese Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, [2]
[Interpreted for lay people: One cannnot take a rat-study’s data, add some math and claim they have scientifically proven no human is being injured by an environmental exposure. To do so is spinning science to a fraudulent outcome. This spin to fraud has been mass-marketed as legitimate risk-assessment for far too long in U.S. public health advisories, in physician education, and in courts by “learned bodies of science and medicine”.]
ACMT’s position statement on illnesses caused by mold, mycotoxins and other microbial contaminants found in WDB is hereafter referred to as the “ACMT Mold Statement”. Entitled “Institute of Medicine Report on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health”[3] and attached hereto as EXHIBIT 1, it was co-authored in 2006 by Tom Kurt, M.D., and Daniel Sudakin, M.D. Dr. Sudakin is a current ACMT board member. In 2006, he was an affiliate of Veritox, Inc. along with ACMT Fellows, Dr. Michael Holland and Dr. Kevin Wallace.[4] [5] Dr. Wallace is still an affiliate of Veritox, Inc. [See footnote (fn) 5]
According to the ACMT website regarding position statement review policies [6]:
“All statements should be reviewed on a periodic basis (every 3 years) and as needed when new data or questions arise. The original author(s) will be asked to address any questions, indicating the date of any revisions on the statement. Each author must sign a disclosure form discussing any potential sources of bias and conflict of interest.” [Lines 15-18]
The ACMT Mold Statement has not been updated in nine years since approved for publication in June of 2006. It includes the following antiquated and always inaccurate key statement:
“With respect to mycotoxins in indoor air, exposure modeling studies have concluded that even in moldy environments, the maximum inhalation dose of mycotoxins is generally orders of magnitude lower than demonstrated thresholds for adverse health effects. (3,7,8)” [Paragraph 7, lines 1 & 2]

XOXOXO. THIS LETTER IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE JARED JOSEPH DUSSAULT Page 69
Jared Joseph Dussault
March 26, 1998 – August 16, 2015
Jared was fifteen year old environmentally injured boy living in Florida. He was bullied into hanging himself. Beginning in the fall of 2014, he, his mother and two younger siblings were being treated like criminals for saying their NAA-affiliate-owned, water-damaged-apartment caused them to experience CIRS-WDB and EI, and that the bad faith acts of others with powerful political connections to cover it up, were only figments of their imagination.
The abusive insult to devastating injury drove him to take his life. Like so many others being maliciously deemed liars and horrifically harassed over the Toxic Mold Issue at a time in their lives when they need the most help, all he wanted was to be believed when telling the truth and treated like he mattered and was Somebody – which he was.
