The Powers that be
So why do believe that "they" went to such lengths to discredit you?
Well I believe I was the first women sign writer to be diagnosed with chronic Solvent Neuro-toxicity and now Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
The implications of that are enormous and possibly very costly to the country. There are so many workers out there who have and are being exposed to solvents and are suffering from a myriad of related symptoms. Panel beaters, spray painters, fibreglass workers and printers to name just a few.
ACC for instance are trying so hard to get gradual process injury removed from their classifications. ACC is absolutely terrified of the implications of the ongoing health effects. Look at the number of timber workers families that suffer strange ailments. How many Vietnam vets families also suffer from strange and weird conditions. I can guarantee that the incidence of strange diseases would be much higher from these groups of workers than from a normal control group.
What about radiologists and photographic process workers? These people are suffering tremendously too! What about mercury poisoning? Just imagine the fuss that would be made if for instance it was proved that everybody had to have their amalgam fillings removed!
Look at the number of years and the time it took to prove asbestos was bad for people. And then the panic and the cost to get asbestos removed from the environment!
Basically the whole story boils down to money. New Zealand is just a small country and the implications of cost are bad enough. Think about the U.S! and their legal system. The different class actions etc etc etc. The insurance and chemical companies are going all out to suppress all research and discredit every claim of adverse health effects! I'm talking Trillions of dollars here.
