Overwhelming research evidence supports human illness caused by mold

It has been estimated that there are approximately 27,000 medical research papers now in existance that support an association with mold and disease. Given the contentious nature of the issue itself, it is remarkable that much of this data has not been entered into public discussion.

As evidenced in the materials presented in this section, medical and environmental researchers worldwide are working continously to understand the mechanisms that cause human illness after fungal exposures. There is now no longer any question as to whether or not disease symptoms can be caused by mold, but rather that the focus now is on medical cures and prevention. Partisan, political opposition to the basic underlying science of this issue is deliberately holding back these efforts, through introducing false information into public debate that makes funding research an uphill battle. This is flatly unacceptable, and must be countered with the strongest means possible.

FDRC has compiled enormous amounts of file material that we have reveiwed and are now stored in our reference libraries and online partner databases. However, there exist a number of studies and testimonies that have encapulated the issue and articulate it in terms that are understandable to the layman. Linked in subdirectories here are a selection of some of the most definitive studies and statements that show, without any remaining doubt, that human exposure to mold can result in debilitating disease symptoms.

Readers are encouraged to consider the following information in thier choices not only in supporting the mission of the FDRC, but in thier own personal health.
