     Healthcare and direct patient, provider conflicts of interest.

     Though reliable tests for exposure to mycotoxins (toxins produced by black mold) were available, Kaiser Permanente providers never disclosed "a lack of intent to investigate" or the market availability of said tests. In WA black mold can only lead to civil litigation. Neither the police nor the attorney was willing to pursue an investigation.

     Do the doctors withhold testing and disclosure to weaken the patient's case, and avoid a court subpoena? (An attractive solution particularly for large, corporate healthcare.) As you will see, they sentence the patients, their families, and the community to long term toxic exposure, while eliminating cues for scientific research.

     An experience begins:

     The night the mold sample in the video is collected there is a mild, but clear anaphylactic shock reaction. 

“What does it matter, now that you are out of there?” asks the allergist. He is provided with the mold sample, and unwavering claims of a type 1 allergic reaction, while being informed that apart from Ulocladium, the identity of the other molds in the sample is unknown. Instead using the sample to perform a skin test, the allergist orders an IGE test to Ulocladium, which he already knows will return negative.  

     The allergist's choice becomes inadvertently complicit to stimulating an undesirable outcome. Close to 3 years later, a civil suit against the property is filed, as at this point, there is still no explanation for the anaphylactic shock reaction. The revelations astound.

     It takes four years to accept the reality of a bewildering, aggressive resistance to investigation. No one walks into a doctor's office expecting an element of legality to healthcare practices that deliberately undermine the patient's claim or medical discovery. Eventually, an independent practitioner, willing to test for black mold exposure, is secured. Four years on, test results return positive for trichothecenes, zearalenone, and gliotoxins which are toxins produced by Stachybotrys (black mold,) Fusarium, Aspergillus, etc. Environmental tests return negative for any mold issues.

BELOW, MYCOTOXIN TEST RESULTS:

Positive for: trichothecenes 0.121 ppb; gliotoxins 1.667 ppb; zearalenone 0.803 ppb. 

    BELOW, MOLD REPORTED TO Kaiser Permanente YEARS BEFORE AN OUTSIDE AAEM CERTIFIED PROVIDER RUNS THE PROPER TESTS. 

     Cross-contamination suspicions arose before a doctor willing to investigate was secured. Most personal property was discarded but not before collecting and freezing a urine sample. The improvement was immense and, were it not for the unexplained anaphylactic shock reaction, the topic forgotten. This body of discovery was driven solely by a slim margin of hope for digging around the property for a compatible chunk of a mold for allergies testing. The experience is a real life take on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" where the protagonist must lose at every turn to finally discover the ultimate value.

     After the test results above unexpectedly returned positive, tests were run on the frozen sample as well. It seems trichothecenes remained in solution at 0.157 ppb. (There was a heavy deposit of sediment (derived from the urine) at the bottom of the bottle, but there is no memory on whether it was stirred prior to testing.) The concentration of trichothecenes is higher in the sample collected in 2018 than in the tests above (2021) though no emulsifying agents were consumed for the 2018 collection. The real concentration was likely higher. These tests indicate mycotoxins cause personal property contamination of long duration.

     Black mold and the unsuspecting public.

     The years lapsed between the discovery in the video above, and the time the "right tests" were administered, indicate mycotoxins travel with the victims, and have low dissipation rates. So, do mycotoxins behave more like unguents than highly volatile substances? 

     By contrast, some doctors believe the patient's body retains the toxins, or suspect other physiological processes related to exposure. Unfortunately, spare rare exceptions, black mold is a low income and working-class problem. Is this why we do not have better answers yet? The pictogram and following argument suggest that whatever the answers may be, we must investigate mycotoxins for potential neurotoxic impact.   

Street and systemic crime. Substance abuse, mental health and our neighborhoods.

     Ernie, a 10-year, or more, resident committed suicide in 2019.

     The Health Department was notified before vacating the property. Healthcare attitudes warranted a turn to public records for trends that might corroborate a suspicion of possible neurotoxin exposure.

     Below, a statistical report by the police department for our protagonist structure. At the time I moved onto the property I was a UW student of Biochemistry, one course short of completing my bachelor's degree. I also placed in the top 2 percent on the national standardized test for organic chemistry. The following year the test was simplified due to high rates of student failure. It does not make me a research scientist, but I am an individual with experience of exposure, and a basic understanding of research and biochemistry.  

     Mycotoxins likely multiply community crime.

     The hypotheses I recommend for research are:

1. Black mold produces powerful neurotoxins, and the victims are likely to unwittingly medicate with substance abuse.

2. Deleterious reactions between mycotoxins and alcohol affect the respiratory tract. The reaction is rapid, the "initial" effects transient, and my discoveries (derived from public records) suggest their severity depends on the intensity of exposure. (The reaction is documented in the 911 files.) The identity of the products of reaction, and their long-term physiological impact are among the many unanswered questions on topic. 

     We should administer mycotoxin testing to all victims of depression, suicide, suspicious deaths (particularly those involving alcohol) and violent crime offenders. It is the only humane and intelligent way to begin determining the percentage of affected population. Moreover, once you identify a victim, past residents must also be screened and future residents must be warned.  

     We need greater government investment in understanding the biochemistry of suicide, aggression and substance abuse. The victims visit the same public centers we do. Exposure to environmental neurotoxins places entire communities at risk. 

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION by the local police department. 

What is crime?

Civil litigation, a commercial crime stimulant.

     In WA many corporate structure, environmental testing companies refuse service to renters. The risk of being pulled into litigation stimulates dark behavioral patterns in business and healthcare. It is time to rethink the application of "justice" to commercial injury.

What is crime? The courts.

Systemic injury, the courts and public safety.  

     Despite all evidence and expert opinion, roughly the following, was the most crucial argument presented to the courts:

     All RATIONAL EVIDENCE, EXPERTS AND ARGUMENT point to the property as a public safety hazard. By dismissing the case, the courts are sending all past, present and future residents a message the building is habitable, while preventing further evidence, witnesses, and expert testimony from being introduced into public records.

The case was dismissed. 

I argued my own case. However, considering the risks to public safety and the burden of evidence, an attorney is beside the point. But before you say “I see your problem. The courts are meticulous systems for dotting your i's and crossings your t's" follow what happens:

     The superior court dismissed the case after the defendant sent an email to the judge requesting him to hold a "motion to dismiss the case" outside of the deadline for all motions. A direct email to the judge's bench? It looks like the courts are not nearly as procedurally complex and rigorous as they would have us believe. An affidavit from my KP specialist (who happened to have been temporarily out of town) was presented to the judge's bench the day before the hearing. It was also emailed to the defendant. The document prepared by My Kaiser Permanente GI expert, a UW professor, with 40 + years of practice as well as clinical research experience, directly negated the defendant's "expert?" claims. Even though KP did not investigate toxic mold exposure, the specialist ran tests to eliminate all other possible explanations. What did the judge do? He asked the defendant if the court should allow my expert's affidavit to be considered. I am not a lawyer, but I had to study the law governing the process, and its language and intent seemed fairly straight forward. According to my understanding, the judge's choice stood 180 degrees from the stipulations of the law. How frequently are the judges dismissing the law? More important, is it "just" the residents had no right to be informed their health may be endangered?

     I post here an excerpt from the opinion of my allergies and environmental exposure specialist, an outside KP provider. It was introduced in court records and considered during the motion to dismiss.

You can find one of my efforts to appeal to the courts and the defendant for the safety of the residents at the bottom of the page.

     So, from what you've seen, why wouldn't any landlord rent a toxic building to the unsuspecting public? What will stimulated scientific research on topic, when the healthcare and justice systems snuff any evidence of a potentially massive public health and safety problem? Nobody suggests throwing everyone in prison, but we must review and revise the justice department, the power of the judge, and the function of the courts. So, I will not say "if," but "when" science proves some mycotoxins are powerful, behavior altering neurotoxins, how many of their own victims have the judges jailed? Unfortunately (and to a large extent, due to systemic shortcomings) we have but one basic way of dealing with crime. The problem is the defining crime has become primarily capital and selective.

Next; the future of economics as AI eliminates human productivity. People need bread as well as PURPOSE. The current economic structures must evolve. Poverty, crime and unemployment are not options unless "We the People" allow them to be. Highly intelligent, well-educated populations will be a prerequisite for humanity to manage and survive highly experimental technological ages.
