Ewing, New Jersey – November 20, 2008 – The National Indoor Mold Society (NIMS) will host a live internet radio show to celebrate its second year’s success. According to Letitia Peters, NIM Executive Director, states, “two years ago, National Indoor Mold Society was formed to bring awareness about the adverse health effects from being exposed to molds and mycotoxins. On November 18, 2006, we produced the first 5 hours live radio show pertaining to molds and mycotoxins. We were excited about this landmark event because it was the first time that six prominent environmental doctors came together to launch a public awareness about this environmental disease. Since then, one of the doctors died. We are doing this show in remembrance of him, Dr. Vincent Marinkovich and to continue our commitment to inform, educate, and raise awareness about this environmental disease.”
The event will be a live internet radio show on WKSH DA BEAT located in the Washington metro area.

William Croft, DVM, PhD is a medical pathologist. 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 funded in part by the United States Army. 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 will discuss the answers to the question: Can indoor molds and mycotoxins cause adverse health effects, permanent illness, or even death? He will discuss various topics from the history of fungi, the definition of molds and mycotoxins, cross-contamination, stages of the disease, and trichothecene mycotoxicosis.
