His career spans problem-solving in respiratory failure, emphysema, asbestosis and byssinosis at Duke University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. More recently neurobehavioral and pulmonary impairment as a result of exposure to common chemicals: mold, hydrogen sulfide, diesel, pesticides, and insecticides, have been a primary focus for study. Since 1982 he has investigated chemicals and the brain. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Archives of Environmental Health and has published over 250 scientific papers. He has published three books: Chemical Brain Injury, Endangered Brains, and Molds and Mycotoxins. Dr. Kilburn will discuss how does the exposure of chemicals (i.e. molds) affects the brain. For more information about Dr. Kilburn and his services, visit his website at www.neuro-test.com or call his office at (626)798-4299.
Dr. Robbins is a board certified Occupational and Environmental Physician and is an expert in building related illness, mold exposure, toxic and chemical exposure injuries, food allergies and intolerance, occupational injuries, asthma and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Dr. Albert Robbins is board certified in PREVENTIVE MEDICINE and offers a HOLISTIC, integrative and OSTEOPATHIC approach to most common medical problems with emphasis on natural structure/function and mind/body healing methods which are principles of OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE'S HEALING PHILOSOPHY.

Dr. Robbins is a “Musician/Physician’ and have released a CD that includes four songs for the Chemically Sensitive entitled “It’s Not IgE”, “American Chemical Dream”,“Polluted Indoor Air,”and Unlimited Powers of Mind.” Dr. Robbins will discuss the health effects of molds due to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (M.C.S.). For more information about Dr. Robbins and his services, visit his website at www.allergycenter.com or call his office at (954) 421-1929.
Dr. Croft obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin in physiology in 1965, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree from the University of Minnesota in 1970. In 1975, Dr. Croft received a medical pathology degree geared to study human disease from the Medical School of the University of Wisconsin. Since that time he has dedicated his life to studying environmental illness involving heavy metal, solvent, phenol, and mold or fungi poisonings, to name a few.

In 1986, Dr. Croft published the first paper on indoor mold poisoning in the North American Continent and demonstrated the fingerprint for Trichothecene Mycotoxins in animals and humans. This study was in part funded by the United States Army. He has completed eight autopsies, four adult humans and four children, clearly demonstrating pathology caused by inhalation versus ingestion of these mycotoxins. Dr. Croft has studied, and observed over 6,000 people demonstrating signs and symptoms of mycotoxin poisoning and has determined the stages for inhalation mycotoxicosis. Dr. Croft has studied this disease for over 23 years and in an effort to allow others to become aware of the disease; he is willing to share what he has learned concerning this environmental disease. Dr. Croft will discuss various topics from the history of fungi, the definition of molds and mycotoxins, cross-contamination, 3 stages of the disease, and trichothecene mycotoxicosis, as well as, the type of testing that he conducts for mold victims. For more information about Dr. Croft and his services, visit his website at www.edgi.org or call his office at (608) 274-1618.

About National Indoor Mold Society

The National Indoor Mold Society is a national organization, which was formed by mold victims in November 2006. Our mission is to provide education, awareness, public policy, and research so that people recognize and understand the implications of being exposed to indoor molds and mycotoxins in their communities.
Our overall objectives are to:
1. Educate the public, health care professionals, and the lawmakers to bring awareness that exposure to indoor molds and mycotoxins can cause adverse health effects and should be recognized as a serious, widespread disease.
2. Collaborate with researchers or fund research in order to get “scientific data” which addresses the adverse health effects due to exposure to indoor molds and mycotoxins.

3. Provide support, information, and guidance in the form of seminars, individual counseling, and community programs and other information media to people exposed to indoor molds and mycotoxins to improve their quality of life.
4. Provide a safe, healthy, and habitable environment for people exposed to indoor molds and mycotoxins.
