Dr. William Rea in the News and on Nightline Tonight
Ilena Rose
Sometimes it appears to me that much of the motivation (other than the
money he receives from various industries to go after scientists like
Dr. Rea)... is plain jealousy.
Dr. Rea is board certified ... Barrett failed and never passed.
Psychiatric Boards. It is obvious here, that Barrett had been hired to
do his typical chop jobs on Dr. Rea ... this time before Dr. Rea's
first victory after being harassed by the Texas Medical Boards.

I am preparing a detailed report about the medical, legal, and
political aspects of "multiple chemical sensitivity." (Note from
Ilena: Who paid you for this report, Steve???)
I have encountered cases where the husband of a "clinical ecology"
patient was faced with paying huge bills (for treatment he didn't
believe in) had to choose between divorce and bankruptcy. If anyone on
the list knows of someone in that situation who would be willing to
speak out, I would appreciate a referral.
I would also be interested in interviewing someone who spent tens of
thousands of dollars on clinical ecology treatment and later came to
realize the money was wasted.
Does anyone have a recent treatment manual from Dr. Rea's
Environmental Health Center that I could borrow?
Last week (before I joined the occ-env-med mailing list), someone
asked whether membership in the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine had dropped sharply within the past year and a half. If the
question has not yet been answered, I'll be happy to supply the data.

Controversial Clinic for the 'Chemically Sensitive'
Texas Doctor Target of State Medical Board for 'Environmental
Medicine'
By TERRY MORAN and MARY-CLAUDE FOSTER
March 20, 2008—
What if you thought that the world around you was making you sick? If
you feared that the house you live in, the car that you drive and
everyday activities such as watching television and talking on a cell
phone were making you ill?
Dr. William Rea says he has treated more than 30,000 people, from all
over the world, who believe the world around them has made them sick.
Very sick.
"Lots of times they know what's wrong with them, but they haven't been
able to get any help," Rea said. "And they're looking for solutions to
their problems."
Watch the story tonight on "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. ET
A board certified surgeon, Rea has become one of the foremost
practitioners of "environmental medicine." At his clinic, the
Environmental Health Center-Dallas, no cell phones are allowed and the
air is constantly filtered. The walls and floors are made of porcelain
-- "because there are no fumes and particulates," Rea said -- and
other non-reactive surfaces such as unvarnished wood. The clinic has
been open since 1974.
"We had to de-grease all the exercise equipment," Rea said. "Because
of the fumes that were coming out of it."
'Chemically Sensitive'
Lisa Nagy, a patient of Rea and a medical doctor with a degree from
Cornell University, said she came to the clinic because "I knew I was
dying. I knew I had, like, a month left."
You wouldn't know to look at her now but just a few years ago Nagy
could hardly move.
"I knew I was sick, I thought I was depressed," she said. "I went to a
psychiatrist every day for a year. I went to an acupuncturist."
Nothing worked, and Nagy became convinced that she was suffering from
an "environmental illness": that chemicals and electromagnetic energy
in the world around her were making her ill.
"I was unable to drive into Los Angeles to see the psychiatrist
because of the diesel exhaust coming in the car," she said. "And I had
no knowledge that I was chemically sensitive."
Nagy also says the mold in her former house was toxic.
"It's possible that I had other exposures before this house and other
situations, which adds to my toxic load, so that this house tipped me
over," she said. "We all see car exhaust, smell car exhaust on the way
to work in the morning, and we all have dogs and cats at home, and we
all have new carpeting at work. We all have air fresheners at the
airport that we get exposed to. It's how you deal with those
exposures. Do you get tired or do you get a headache? That makes you
environmentally ill."
Diesel Fuel and Detox
The first thing Rea did was test Nagy for "environmental allergies."
He injected a small amount of antigen -- which is a diluted amount of
the very thing she may be allergic to -- which triggers an immune
system response. Rea tests for a whole slew of allergens such as
perfumes, fabric softeners, diesel fuels, woods like oak and many
others.
Then Nagy, as with most of Rea's patients, began what is called the
detoxification program that he says cleanses the body of all
pollutants. The patient gets saunas to "sweat out" the toxins --
purified air, and certain kinds of food in a controlled environment.
Nagy became so ill during detox she was admitted to a nearby hospital
and ended up in the psychiatric ward.
"It was excruciating," she recalled. "The only benefit was I did
oxygen every night and they had hard surface floors without carpeting.
I didn't know really the principals of environmental medicine yet. I
just knew that I needed to rest and oxygen seemed to help."
Nagy's husband Wes Nagy said "the psychiatrist that had me commit her
told me she would never get well and that I should consider moving
on." But after a month of treatment at the clinic, Wes Nagy said that
his wife "was like somebody else. It was like somebody had flicked a
switch. It was a different person."
Public Health Hazard?
If it all sounds a little extreme to you, you're not alone. "We
believe he is posing a threat to the public health of the citizens of
Texas," said Mari Robinson, an attorney for the Texas Board of
Medicine.
The board is trying to stop Rea from practicing his brand of medicine,
and may even strip him of his license. The hearing is set for Dec. 1.
"The treatments that he's giving, we believe, can be dangerous to the
public health, such as injecting jet fuel or natural gas," said
Robinson, who added that the treatments appear to have no clinical
value.
Rea says that he has never injected patients with jet fuel.
"I've used antigens of it, and,of course, as you well know, that was
one of the accusations," he said. "I used an antigen, a provocation
test, just like we would a food or just like we would a mold."
We asked Dr. David Khan of the University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center, who, unlike Rea, is a board certified allergist and
immunologist, if any of this makes sense.
"Certainly injecting jet fuel or any part of jet fuel into someone I
think would be potentially dangerous and certainly doesn't seem to
have any value," he said.
When asked about the success stories of Rea's patients, Khan said,
"They're feeling better living in a closed room with aluminum foil,
never leaving without oxygen. Is that a cure? Absolutely not."
Countered Rea: "I might say that in Japan now they have four
environmental clinics that are at university medical schools that are
patterned after our methods in our clinic." And he maintains that his
methods have been peer reviewed in the United States, just not in what
most would consider mainstream medical journals such as the New
England Journal of Medicine, JAMA or Nature. And his reaction to the
actions of the Texas Medical Board is that it "seems like somebody
wants to limit the public's chance for freedom of choice in medical
care, doesn't it?"
But Robinson, of the Texas Board of Medicine, said that "what's gotten
him in trouble is that he has yet, so far, refused to submit his
treatments to the double-blind sort of gold standard studies or to an
institutional review board to oversee it."
'He Gave Me My Life Back'
But none of that matters to Lisa Nagy.
"I have a headset on every phone in the home because I can't really
use [a regular] phone," she said. "If I hold it up, in the piece here,
it's got a magnet and it gives me a headache."
Following Rea's program, she injects herself daily with all sorts of
allergy shots.
"This one is terps, which is terpians from wood -- I was very
sensitive to pine. Do not have raw pine in your home. Oak is OK. This
is chemicals and these are the chemicals that are in this vial,
whatever the chemicals are, I was sensitive to some and not to others.
So the ones I was sensitive to, they were put in here with water," she
said.
Nagy says yes; water with a little bit of diesel, perfume, and even
mercury.
"Yeah, but we inject vaccinations with huge amounts of mercury;
comparatively it's probably one-one hundredth or one-one thousandth of
the amount," she said, although, in fact, most vaccines today don't
contain any mercury.
To trained immunologists such as Khan, there's another possible
explanation for Rea's success: His patients are ill, but from stress
and other psychological factors.
"You can have people stressed out and they can break out in a rash or
hives or all sorts of things just from the nervous excitement," he
said. "These things are real events. But it's not because of the
substance they just ingested, it's because of their conditioned
response and so when they smell whatever the odor is, they have this
conditioned response, they feel ill, their pulse rate may go up, they
have a headache, a variety of things."
Getting away from it all was a matter of survival for Nagy. She moved
to an island -- Martha's Vineyard -- and created a special
pollutant-free home -- Rea style.
"Most of these patients who have these ailments actually have an
underlying psychiatric problem, and one of the problems in this
country is the under diagnosis and under treatment of psychiatric
diseases, and I think we are all guilty of that," Khan said.
Nagy said, "I tried to communicate with the psychiatrists who take
care of me, to invite him over to Bill Rea's clinic. To educate him
how many of these patients appear to be mentally deranged or have
mental issues, but how in fact when you treat their chemical
sensitivity, then their mental situation gets much better."
It is a fact that Rea and his methods are controversial, scorned by
many mainstream medical researchers and institutions. But all that
simply makes no sense to those who say the world made them sick, and
Dr. William Rea made them better.
"I don't want to get all choked up," Nagy said, "but he gave me my
life."

Very interesting, Dr. K, while I was in Dallas for the first time, the
place I was staying
in was broken into in the middle of the night (this was April '99) and
several items of interest were taken---
things that normally would not mean anything to anyone -- and they
left money there that was out in clear sight.
What I did like about the ABC News website--was that people were
welcome to leave comments. I hesitated
in leaving a comment - but since I haven't been there since November
2001, and used the basic tools that both Dr.
Rea and Dr. Johnson gave me to get well; didn't take any antigens -
(cuz I dislike shots, always have since I was a child),
and slowly introduced foods back into my life that I was allergic to,
and did the things that I thought were reasonable, and by learning
that products in our environment that are cheaply made seem to have
the most crap in them, I've learned to buy better quality American
made without scents items. In light there that the AAPS lawsuit is
still happening in federal court, I am wondering if ABC will have to
turn over the comments made to their website in the discovery
process? That was my only hesitation in making a comment in the
first place.
Does anyone know if that Dr. Khan, allergist is related to the board
member with the same surname? That comment was on the comment page
from ABC News by another interested party.

Kulacz, you probably don't know this, but Debbe...@aol.com (now
using Bee/Butterflies2) has made dozens of claims about being stalked,
having her phone tapped, computer tapped, etc ad nauseum. She even
claimed that Mark Lindsey of Paul Revere and the Raiders exposed
himself to her after a concert. Of course, she got sued over the last
one.
In short, she makes up a lot of stuff, most of it self-aggrandizing.
If you read enough of her posts, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone,
you'll realize that even she doesn't believe it.

Here is something I should have included in the prior post. No

Yes, it does effect you, and I am living proof...and there are many
other
cases....thanks to my employer who was too cheap to buy chemicals that
were
safe, because he wanted to continue to machine various "tougher
materials", I
have N-Hexane, machine/oil exhaust, and about 50 metals/minerals in my
body
that I didn't have before I went to work there.
I spent 6 weeks in Dallas at the Environmental Health Center here, to
get the
muchly needed testing that my traditional medicine HMO (Kaiser)
couldn't
understand....I have a low blood platelet problem...due to
chemicals/metals/minerals, used at work, with little or no
ventiliation, and
now have since graduated to being sensitive to vehicle exhaust....
I've also learned about the QME's that work for the insurance
companies as
well.....they are basically paid not to find anything wrong, and tell
you it is
"all in your head." I know, my employer "bribed" two of them, and
that was
because I was "honest" and gave him the name of the doctors I was
seeing.....and instead of just trying to help me get well, he has
fought me and
fought me....I'm now on a Workers Compensation Appeal, and in the
meantime, I'm
trying to find work that I can do out of my house, because I'm so
sensitive to
everything, including foods, plastics, water (unless it is distilled),
and the
list goes on and on....
Toxicologist last week told me that there is no proven treatment
method, and no
cure for what I have. But I'll be damned if I am going to live like
this the
rest of my life...I'm taking what I learned in Dallas...and this stuff
is so
slowly coming out of my body.....taking lots of supplements, eating
whole foods
(on a rotation diet), and using "sauna" to sweat the stuff out of my
system......
Lots of people I met there had had lots of mercury fillings in their
teeth, and
thank goodness I didn't, but this also poisons people....traditional
doctors
"just don't get it.", and I think it is high time they "woke
up"....and smelled
the coffee.....
Just because they have never heard of it, they shouldn't dismiss it,
as being
in people's heads....

Andrew, I highly recommend that you contact my attorney of record in
that case, or better
yet the plaintiff's attorney. Some of the information you are
dispersing as a "fact" you might
find is different than the information that the attorneys of record
have on file. And it certainly
isn't becoming to either the former plaintiffs or myself, and shows
absolutely zero respect for
either party.
You may wish to retract your statements, as to whom I am, or I am
not. I am not a public
figure. You are.
Yes, my telephone lines were tapped. Yes, my place of residence was
broken into in Dallas, TX
when I stayed there, and yes my residence in California was broken
into on numerous occasions.
And I do not think for a moment that these were tied to the plaintiffs
at all. In fact, I have another
theory of who was invading my privacy, considering this was during the
time I was seeing Dr. Rea
in Dallas, TX, and had a worker's compensation suit in place.
I do believe that you, owe myself, and the plaintiffs in that case a
public apology as well as the attorneys.
Go for it. Let's see if you are man enough to apologize.
The One True Zhen Jue
I believe you owe Usenet & Mark Lindsey an apology.
Nobody gives a rat's ass about who you are, just how ridiculous your

I've had the telephone company out here on numerous occasions, and
they cannot
find anything wrong with my telephone. But I have had my computer's
email
hacked into, (although AOL denies it could be happening), as I have
typed
email, and it has "spoken it" as I was typing it. And in writing some
email,
hackers codes appeared in the body of the email. I have had phone
numbers
appear on my caller ID, which were traced back to the University of
Santa
Barbara's computer labs.
Interesting enough, pieces of telephone conversations have found their
way to
AOL's chatboards. I'm a possible witness in a lawsuit, and all of this
makes
me think that someone is not only in my email account, but in my
telephone line
as well. I've filed several police reports, as someone took the
liberty of
posting my address (which is not in the telephone book) on an AOL
chatboard,
several times (AOL removed it). In fact, several other people that are
potential witnesses to this same lawsuit have had this same (and it
still
continues) "chirping" noises coming out their telephones, and things
that they
have said also in private telephone conversations have found their way
to
chatboards as well. The State Attorney General is involved with my
case as
well, as other governmental agencies, but unfortunately, it takes
time, and it
really does get annoying.
Can someone explain how people can get into telephone lines, and into
computer
accounts??? And what I (and others) can do to protect ourselves in the
meantime.
Thank you in advance.

The funny thing is that I was contacted by two supermarket tabloids
<in
October>, and they wanted to do an article on it, and we were both
under the
impression that there was a proposal forthcoming <the plaintiff's
attorney's
told my attorney in LA at the time>, and so we didn't go there. One of
them
wanted to use a really degrading headline towards Mark Lindsay, and we
both
thought it was better, not to go there, since we were falsely led that
a
"proposal was being written", and I told them. We even quit posting on
our own
volitation, for 5 months because the proposal was coming, and after
January
1st, I started posting again, but nothing to do with what we had
previously
written. My attorney told me that they couldn't tell us that we didn't
have
the right to post anymore, on the internet, and that they didn't have
the right
to tell us we couldn't use AOL. But we were scared by their attorneys,
and so
we didn't post for 5 months.
Interesting note, my computer's email has been hacked into, and
"sounds" that
AOL doesn't have in their software has been happening since
12/97...."Raiderland" is one the sounds that it has made, and some
other ones
that I wouldn't mention out here. The phone company was able to trace
a phone
call that hacked into my computer, coming out of the Santa Barbara
area, that
actually was typing hacker's codes into my email. Pretty, amazing,
huh?
Makes me think about contacting those supermarket tabloids again, and
letting
them run the stories.....after all.

Dr. K:
I heard another report this morning---yes, there will be in a rally in
Austin starting November 29th
just prior to the Texas Medical Board meeting to decide on Dr. Rea's
license. I guess hotels are
being booked now. If you are interested, as soon as I find out more
information, I'll post it here.
Where did the Texas Medical Board ever find that attorney
spokesperson----every time she opened her mouth and
spoke, I laughed. She's apparently never read a Material Data Safety
Sheet in her life--nor worked around chemicals, and since MCS effects
more women than men, as a woman, I was apalled at her words towards
women. She apparently hasn't read about the health effects of the men
and women that served in the clean up of Ground Zero. My question is,
that she wants to protect the people of Texas from Dr. Rea....what can
the people of Texas do to protect themselves from the Texas Medical
Board?

As many of you know, there was an ABC Nightline program on several
nights ago about Dr. Rea, who is one of my doctors.
Dr. Rea is being hauled before the Texas Medical Board in Nov. for a
hearing that may result in his license to practice medicine being
revoked. You can Google ABC Nightline Dr. Rea and see the piece which
is only about 10-15 minutes long.
Then, after you've been REALLY upset by it, please email CNN at this
address:
This is the email address to write to let CNN know who you'd most like
to see on Larry King Live and tell them you'd like to see Dr. Rea and
other environmenal medicine doctors like Dr.Rapp of Buffalo NY, Dr.
Sherry Rogers of Syracuse, NY, Dr. Grout of Phoenix,AZ and Dr.
Lieberman of South Carolina - all of them are environmental medicine
doctors.
I just sent CNN an email telling them that Dr. Rea was interviewed on
ABC Nightline about being called before the Texas Medical Board. The
entire segment was extremely biased and didn't show Dr. Rea and his
wonderful work in a very complimentary light. Dr. Rea needs a
platform like Larry King Live to tell everyone about environmental
medicine and what he does at his clinic and how many people he's
helped over the more than 20 years he's been running his clinic.
I bet if enough of you write in, they'd have Dr. Rea on Larry King
Live. Please watch the video and write to the above email address.
The future of environmental medicine may depend upon it.
Thank you.

Carol:
Thank you for your kind post. I hope you understand that you are in
"Quackwatch support territory" and do not expect the natives to be
overjoyed in complying with your request. I wanted to address you so
that you would know you are not being ignored.
I was treated by Dr. Rea for 2 years---he gave me the tools to get
well, and I was out of the workforce for a bit, and managed to get
back in it 1-1-/2 years later. He is a remarkably man, having
suffered from chemical sensitivity himself.
He's also the heart surgeon that saved the life of the Texas governor
John Connolly on 11/22/63. He is a brilliant man, and opened the
clinic so that others wouldn't have to suffer as he had suffered when
he had the worst of his chemical sensitivity.
I agree the piece on Nightline was slightly biased. I loved the "jet
fuel injection" laugh that the slightly misinformed attorney
muttered. I wonder if she ever read a MSDS in her life, or ever sat
on the tarmac at an airport and breathed in the fumes from jet fuel?
Probably way more exposure there than getting a skin prick!! Ask a
flight attendant how much they suck in every day that they work?
I support healthcare choice, taking the best of both worlds, and I
wouldn't have gone to the EHC-Dallas if conventional medicine had the
answers for me. It didn't, but by taking a risk going into an
unfamiliar territory, and spending some time in Dallas, my
conventional doctor saw the progress I was making and worked with him
to get me back to better health.
Good luck in your quest for better health. :>)
