This is a letter I have written to Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit .. why because of occupational lung disease IIDB have conveniently put down to smoking.
Now I never started smoking to I was 25 .. My work history as involved foundry work with silica and then plumbing work.
Dear, Industrials Injuries Disablement Benefit.
Following My Telephone Conversation At The Above Office With One Of Your Representatives Regarding My Previous ASBESTOS ASBESTOS CEMENT LUNG DIEASE Claim.
I Would Like IIDB To Reconsider My Asbestos Lung Disease Claim On The Grounds Of NEW MEDICAL Evidence And Not Being Able To Defend My Claim As CT SCAN XRAYS My Evidence Was Not Available / Could Not Be Displayed.
In Doctor ##### Letter Diagnosis That Can Be Seen At Page 77 – 78 Of My Previous Case Bundle You Can See Dr ##### Talks About COPD And Gas Trapping And My Primary Systematic State Being Of Unknown Cause.
Given The NEW MEDICAL Evidence I Am Going To Talk About i.e Asbestos Silica Bioreactivity Biopersistence And Oxidant Stress.
It Is Obvious Why HM Courts Tribunal Services Doctor Had Such Trouble Accepting I Suffered From COPD Even Tho My Lung Consultant Had Confirmed I Do.
Considering It Is Well Known And Is Also A Well Documented Coexpouser Inflammatory Lung Disease Processes
But Given The Medical Evidence Is Easy To See How Such Things Would Happen To Chronically Exposed Suffers Especially When It Is So Easy To Blame One’s Smoking History BUT Not One’s Occupation “ how convenient ” Is That.
But Those Exposed To Chronic Amounts Of ASBESTOS & ASBESTOS CEMENT i.e SILICA QUARTZ ASBESSTOS Will Not Suffer ASBBESTOSIS Or PLAQUES.
But Like Myself Those With Asbestos & Mineral Dust Inhalation And Effects Of Occupation & Demolition Processes Lung Inhalation Of Such Martial And Its Interactions Within The Lung Will Cause SUPEROXIDE & OXIDANT STRESS. That Causes Damage To DNA CELLs Resulting In Chronic Lung Inflammation Resulting In Permanent Enlargement Of The Lung Airways … Airways Disease i.e Bronchiectasis To Which I Suffer As Evident By The Lung Tissue Asbestos Martial I Have Been Coughing Up.
Silica Quartz Found In Asbestos Cement And Its Interactions Within The Lung Asbestos Fibers Cause SUPEROXIDE & OXIDANT STRESS Lung Damage Resulting In Not ASBESTOSIS But Chronic Inflammation i.e Emphysema To Which I Also Suffer Now And At Time Of My Claim Threw Chronic Occupational Exposure.
I Feel IIDB Already Know Those Like Myself Chronically Exposed To Asbestos Asbestos Cement Silica Quartz Would Suffer From This Disease Diseases I Am Suffering.
And I Feel The IIDB DOCTORS Even Tho IIDB Accepted Source Of My Exposure Had Me Going Up And Beyond Jumping Hoops To Prove My Chronic Lung Disease Is Caused By ASBESTOS ASBESTOS CEMENT SILICA QUARTZS.. And Is Quite Shocking.

And On And On I Could GO As anyone can see there is defo something going on as to medical profession and the acceptances lung diease can and is caused by occupational lung disease and not all about smoking or being down a pit or mine to be exposed.
Don't forget You don't have to sufferr from Asbestosis mesothelioma to sign my petition you just have to care .
