Review in Hospitals, Clinics and Medical Centers, Doctors category from Attalla, Alabama
The statement above that Mold Treatment Centers of America have nothing to do with the National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease is FALSE. Michael Pugliese has "practiced" at both of these centers.
He is now under investigation and this is long overdue! He is not an M.D. yet he dispenses medication at exorbitant prices. The CDC has investigated and concluded that these homeopathic substances have not been found to be beneficial to people exposed to toxic mold, and might in fact be harmful.
I saw Mr. Pugliese at the Mold Treatment Centers of America at the Alpharetta, GA location in May of 2013. (I read that this center has permanently closed, thank goodness.) I paid $3500 up front. Mr.
Pugliese was just one of several quacks working there. They prey on people who are sick and desperate for help. Not many physicians have knowledge about "mold illness." Mr. Pugliese "diagnosed" me with "mold sickness" without performing an exam and dispensed several medications to take at home.
I never took any of it. His "specially formulated" nasal spray was nothing more than salt water, and I paid $150 for it. I tried desperately to get my money back, to no avail.
He is still "prescribing" the same protocol that he prescribed for me in his most recent company, National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease. I may have lost a lot of money, but I will be satisfied if this quack Pugliese is FINALLY put out of business.

Treatment and Diagnosis of Mold Illnesses Due to Toxic Mold Exposure
If anyone has had problems with Mold Treatment Centers of America in Alpharetta, GA where you were to be diagnosed and treated for mold illnesses due to exposure to hazardous toxic mold environments, please email me at: bfritts1947@***.com. I was first (and only) seen by this treatment facility on 12/28/12 for severe mold illnesses from my exposure to hazardous toxic molds at a hotel in Horseshoe Bend, AR (Cedar Glade Resort).
After paying $3200 on 12/28/12, and being treated by ????, I was thrown off their radar screen. Michael Pugliese changed by protocol twice after the 1st month as I was not improving. For 10 days in March, I could not access the established patient line, nor could I access the journaling site that comes up immediately with your password, etc. When I complained, I was called by Lisa and was told that they had moved furniture around 10 days ago and the telephone line got disconnected (???).
When I told her that it wasn't just the phone, it was the journaling site as well, she said she would have to check with their website person. It was after March 19 that I was no longer heard from anyone, and my illness was getting worse. I made a surprise visit to them on April 12, '13 (had a witness with me), and Michael Pugliese was less than happy to see me in the facility (I live in GA, not out of state as many who come into this facility fly in from out-of-state). He was so angry that we could not even look at me.
When I started to question him, he said to me "your files are not on the premises." When I told this to my Pulmonary Doctor (a real doctor), Dr. Waldman said to me, "Where would your files be, somewhere in Canada?" I then asked for copies of all my records, and what I got were handwritten office notes, nothing on letterhead, no diagnosis (these were all records dated 12/28/12). The MD, Dr. O, sent me out of that office with stroke high BP levels (he took it 3 times).
There were no records forwarded with any changes that were made in my protocol by Michael Pugliese (2 changes made). First told to go off of the herbs given to me by Dr. Kang (the acupuncturist on 12/28/12, who, by the way is no longer be used as part the MoldTC treatment a/o March -- they threw her off their radar screen). I started to see Dr.
Kang on my own in March & April (12th) due to my severe irritability caused by the very high levels of mycotoxins found in my body. She also related information to me about MoldTC and how other patients have had to call her because they could not get through or get responses from MoldTC after becoming one of their patients. She would have to go next door to their office to find out what was going on. I have had to move to Tucson, AZ to come under a "real" mold specialist physician, Dr.
Gray in Benson, AZ. This MoldTC has been termed by the Director of the Special Investigations Unit of the GA Dept. of Health as a "criminal fraud scheme." And was told by a retired mold specialist physician who lives in Tampa, "worst place you could have gone; money making machine." The GA Dept. of Health, Julia Campbell, has had many complaints over the past year with people from out of state with questions and concerns about this facility.
Another person facebooked me and called this a "fake" place and thought it had been closed down. There are no certificates for any of these doctors on the walls; no licensing; and the only thing they could find out for Michael Pugliese were the scams he ran with his private company, Probe Environmental on Rip-Off.
Again, please email at above email address if anyone else has had problems with this facility. Thank you, Barbara Fritts
The person filing this reports is a FRAUD. Mold Treatment Centers never sold any medical testing and they have nothing to do with whatsoever the National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease
I went to the National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease. Before I went there I had tried the Shoemaker protocol, cholestryaminne, the charcoal etc..
It's just all a big *** Shoemaker should be in jail. These people understood what was wrong with me they explained in detail why I was sick, they made no promises, and the real proof is that the tremors in my hands went a away and I feel great, no more fatigue, no more blurry vision, no more memory loss. I don't know who writes this *** about good people but I am sure it's a *** bag paid for social media consultant. I've have been to these guys they are real and what they do is real the person who wrote this is a paid for ***!
Michael A. Pugliese just has patented three, count em 3 new medical patents for mold tests in the human body, frauds don't have medical patents!
Took my money; tested me, but wouldn't return my calls for treatment.
In July of 2011, I became severely ill with 24/7 nausea, dizziness, back pain, neck pain. I had been diagnosed by my PCP and an ER doctor with a virus. When I was still sick 6 weeks later, I began researching everything I could find. I'm not sure how I found the Mold Centers of America.
I paid $600 to have a urine test diagnosed and the results were I did have mycotoxins in my body. However, I tried calling and emailing MCOA to find out...where do I go from here? with no response ever. I eventually found a local doctor who specializes in treating patients with mold and he helped me. I guess I never pursued MCOA again because I just wanted to get well.
I am feeling the same symptoms again, over 2 years later, and I was reminded of that test, so I came to this site. If anyone knows how to get them to respond, I would appreciate it.
Personal, Confidential Medical Information Being Released
I had an email today from Pissed Consumer informing me of another person responding to my review about Mold Treatment Centers of America in Alpharetta, GA. The information contained in this email from "Sandra G" (Washington, DC) contains personal, confidential information that was only discussed with the Psychotherapist at this facility.
I do not know this person; nor have I ever talked to her on the phone, as she says, about anything, let alone Mold Treatment Centers of America. I now believe that because of the review I did on this facility, that they have released personal, confidential information that would have been in my file (by Dr. Weekley). Other than my immediate family, 2 of my closest friends in GA, the only others who knew any of this information was Dr.
Weekley, and the toxicologist who sent me to this facility. There was no one else that knew any of this information whatsoever!!! I had a friend who went with me and was in on the interview I had with Dr. Weekly at MoldTC, and he wanted to know about my family dynamics (support), my anger issues over the intentional exposure I had to these hazardous toxic molds which has made me very, very ill, etc.
So, where do you think this all came from?? It certainly wasn't from my family and friends; and the name "Sandra" is very coincidental to one of these 2 sources. There are HIPPA Laws that were made to prevent this type of personal medical information to be released to anyone that you do not authorize.
This place is very angry because of my experience I shared on Pissed Consumer, and have had many others come forward with the same experience, as a result of this review. But the release of confidential medical information is against the law; and I will be addressing this issue with an attorney, as my rights as a patient have been violated!

Call the Mayo Clinic I have gone here. Although tested positive di not have the manpower or expertise needed for this.
Although I have found no facility that does.
No return phone calls, no follow up.
I will say they gave me a point in right direction but there is no cure.
