Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 15, 2008 -- Letitia Peters, President of the National Indoor Mold Society (N.I.M.S.), will host the N.I.M.S. Internet Talk Shows featuring live listeners who can listen, talk, and chat using TalkShoe's website. Our next "live" broadcast of the NIMS Internet Talk Shows will be held on May 15-17, 2008 as we celebrate National Women's Health Week. We are celebrating National Women's Health because many women are affected by this environmental disease and they do not know it. Many women are dying because they are being misdiagnosed. Many women are suffering from multiple illnesses and their doctors do not know the root cause of their illnesses. 500,000 people die annually from mold-related deaths. It is the "Silent Killer Within". Molds are defined as microscopic forms of fungi. Mycotoxins are toxins produced by certain molds which are poisonous to animals and man. You can not watch the news or open the newspaper without watching or reading a story about how indoor molds have affected the health of students, workers, or homeowners. Indoor molds and the mycotoxins they produce have affected people from all walks of life and ages.
What's the controversy?
First, there are two schools of thoughts in the medical community:One group believes that molds cause allergic responses only (i.e. asthma, fungal sinusitis) and the other group has "scientific" evidence showing that inhalation to mycotoxins causes adverse health effects and not just allergic responses only, but the controversy continues. Secondly, we do not have any federal laws governing indoor air quality for molds. Finally, we have two bills pending, which have been stalled in the U.S. Congress for several years.
