Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Reminds me of a book I bought at a flea market many years ago. I opened it up for a read and it almost dropped me in my tracks. I knew right away it had come from a mold infested hell hole and tossed it. But I wanted to read that book so I went out and bought a new copy which gave me no problems at all. It didn't matter if it was an " indoor " or an " outdoor " book either. There was simply no way I could be near it. I cannot survive near anything that has been contaminated in such a way. No remediologist can test an area and tell me if it is good for me. This is something I have to determine for myself on a moment to moment and object by object basis. I see that many people have reached this level of reactivity and are still trying to live a normal life and recover in places where they perceive the presence of something that is beating their immune systems potential for reactivity to death. I have encountered people who have been slammed down to the point where they could no longer physically stand up or take any measures to avoid their mycotoxin " trigger " . If such people don't have someone who understands the problem and can remove them from such a level of exposure - their outlook is very bleak. I know it sounds contrary for me to counsel people to not throw away their possession and yet not to bring them along to their " safe " place but that has been my experience. It took at least five years in storage but my stuff has finally died down and doesn't bother me anymore and yet I still cannot bear so much as a single book that has been recently contaminated. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I have to let my new books, papers, magazines outgas in a basement room before I can read them. The dyes and voc's used to make them, I react to in a big way. Old moldy books I have to get rid of. Cant keep them Ren C > I have to stick with new books too.
