In Rememberence of the great Clinicians, Physicians, Researchers and Scientists who dedicated their lives to Environmental Exposures and Toxic Mold |
Dr Philip Ranheim
 After a full and wonderful life, Phil Ranheim passed away on the afternoon of August 18th, 2021. He will be remembered as a beloved physician in this community, a faithful and loving husband, father, and “Keepa”. But most of all, he’ll be remembered as a precious child of God. Phil served the environmental illness community for many years and he will be missed. | Dr. Jack Thrasher
 Dr. Jack Thrasher passed away on January 27, 2017) He was an American immunotoxicologist. He was an expert witness in government, defense and plaintive cases. Jack published peer reviewed research papers on the toxic effects of various chemicals and biotoxins on animals and humans. Some of these included the Immunotoxicology of formaldehyde, organophosphate insecticides, chlorinated insecticides, solvents, isocyanates hydrogen sulfide, and molds, mycotoxins/bacteria in water damaged homes and buildings. Jack served the environmental illness community since 1964 and will be sorely missed in this world as a voice for those who are injured by chemicals and biotoxins in their food and environments. | Dr. William Croft
 Dr. William A. Croft, DVM, PhD, was a pioneering veterinary pathologist and toxicologist whose work helped shape early understanding of toxic mold and mycotoxin‑related illness. Born in 1943, he earned his DVM and later a PhD in Medical Pathology, eventually working with the University of Wisconsin–Madison and consulting for government agencies, physicians, and families. Dr. Croft investigated thousands of environmental illness cases and became known for identifying the stages of mycotoxicosis and documenting the cellular damage caused by trichothecene toxins. His research bridged human and animal health, offering some of the earliest scientific validation for mold‑related disease. Dr. Croft passed away in 2022, leaving a lasting legacy in environmental toxicology and public health. |
