Sugarloaf Citizens Association presents
Janette D. Sherman, M.D.
speaking on the human health effects of chemical carcinogens, ionizing

and endocrine-disrupting chemical pollutants found in the environment.
When: Saturday, January 13, 2001
10:00 am – 12:00 noon
Where: Linden Farm
20900 Martinsburg Road
Dickerson, Maryland (Montgomery County)
Admission: Free. Dr. Sherman does not charge a fee for her community work.
Her

Janette D. Sherman, M.D., specializes in and has practiced internal medicine
and
toxicology since 1970. She holds degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
and
German. Dr. Sherman has worked in radiation and biological research at the
University of California/Atomic Energy Commission facility, where she
monitored
radiation emissions, and at the U.S. Navy Radiological Defense Laboratory,
Hunter’s Point, San Francisco, California. Since 1973, Dr. Sherman has
served as
a speaker for Health Professional, Legal, Medical, and Labor Groups regarding
occupational and environmentally caused diseases. She has testified before
the
U.S. Senate, and on behalf of patients in toxic tort cases. Dr. Sherman has
been
an advisor for health advocacy groups concerning breast cancer, birth defects,
pesticides, and toxic dump sites. She is the author of some 70 articles
concerning adverse effects from exposure to toxic agents, including chlordane,
Dursban, lindane, DDT, PCBs, PBBs, dioxins, tamoxifen, DES, radiation, and
others. Her primary interest is the prevention of illness and of harm through
education of the public and the patient.
Times are changing. It is becoming impossible to ignore the carnage of
endocrine-disrupting chemicals, nuclear radiation, and chemical carcinogens,
alone and in combination, invading nearly every family with cancer. Facing
this
reality may be too much for some people, afraid to look, or afraid of being
the
next victim. The story of cancer is not an easy one, and neither is cancer.
But
if we do not exert our efforts to prevent this disease, we doom our children
and
grandchildren to repeat our collective errors.
