In the year of 2006, Dr. Kelman and VeriTox were paid at least $120,000 by the United States Department of Justice in expert witness fees. This video is of a case in which Dr. Kelman and Dr. Robbins, both principals of VeriTox (formerly GlobalTox) were hired by the Department of Justice to defeat a claim of illness in a military family at Fort Sills, Oklahoma. The family reported the same symptoms that are reported over and over and over again after exposure to the microbial contaminents that are found in water damaged buildings. When providing their expert opinions, both Dr. Kelman and Dr. Robbins cite to the ACOEM Mold Statement as a scientific foundation of why the military family, who were claiming they were made ill from their military housing, could not be sick from mold. Dr. Robbins also cites to the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, Damp Indoor Spaces and Mold Report (IOM Report) as being consistant with ACOEM and in support of her "scientific opinion. However, less than two months after this under oath opinion was offered by Dr. Robbins on behalf of the Department of Justice, the IOM Report played a key part in disallowing the modeling theory of ACOEM (written by VeriTox) to be presented before the courts. The judge in the case of Harold vs. Westmont Construction, April 14, 2006, Sacramento CA, found it to be a "huge leap" to go from a modeling theory to the NEVER DUPLICATED conclusion of scientific evidence of lack of Human illness based on this theory. The IOM Report specifically points out the unscientific method of what the ACOEM and US Chamber authors did to form this scientific non-sequitor. "Huge leap" is putting it politely.In other words, our government is using the ACOEM Mold Position Statement, that is well established to be based on a false scientific premise, to limit liability for the illnesses brought on my mold in the indoor environment. How are US Citizens ever to get a fair deal or how are we to expect the true science to ever get to the physicians of America, when our own government is financially benefitting from the deceit? Less
