mold, was Re: My Liver Detox experience

August 26, 2002

>>>>I agree Suze, We rented a moldy house and I got pregnant for baby #5

there and ended up with pneumonia through out the whole pregnancy. It

was horrible! I told my husband I was not going to birth that baby in

that house and we better purchase one before I had him. We moved into

our new house one week before I had the baby. Nothing was unpacked or

anything, but at least I had Noah in a mold free house. I think the

mold still effected Noah though, he gets colds and breaths/sneezes

really hard compared to the other kids. I just had him to the doctors

recently for this.

-------->robin, was the mold in your old house black? or some other clearly

visible kind? the kind in my kitchen and bathroom is black. my old wooden

floors have black in many of the crevices, but i always assumed that was

dirt, which is a likely scenario. 2 years ago when my dog was dying of nasal

cancer, i borrowed a cheap plastic humidifier from my parents. i was

supposed to keep the air moist for my dog so placed it in my bedroom. i was

pretty ignorant of nutrition and holistic health back then, btw. anyhow, i

just (stupidly) assumed the humidifier didn't have a filter. only months

after his death i pulled the top off the humidifier and was horrified to see

this mass of mold that looked like a science experiment. i now wonder if

that made him sicker. and i wonder if any of that mold that i was pumping

into my bedroom stayed (in the walls, or carpet). there is nothing

*visible,* though.

anyway, i'm going to take it one step at a time. i got a mold test kit and

can test 2 rooms. i will test my kitchen, and either my bathroom (with

visible mold) or my bedroom, where i spend 1/3 of my time. i may get another

kit and test other rooms. after i get the results i will decide where to go

from there. i really like my little cottage and it would be very difficult

to move for a variety of reasons, so i will try first to determine the

extent of my mold problem, try to rid my house from as much of it as i can,

and go from there. i appreciate you sharing your mold experience!
