Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I found cross contamination to be absolutely critical. In fact, controlling cross contamination was the entire key to my recovery from CFS/MCS and bailing out of Dr s ampligen program. That is why I call what I do " Extreme Mycotoxin Avoidance " and I am quite certain that my level of recovery is directly attributable to this stringent protocol. But even I mess up now and then. I watched a friend fall apart by working and living under conditions that were obviously putting her under the curve. I warned her incessantly to minimize exposure to the degree that her symptoms were at least no longer progressive. But nobody believes this until it happens and then it's too late. She collapsed and I couldn't stand this nonsense any more and carried her out of that mold infested hell hole. I took her out to the desert where she soon started to recover. That was in 2000 and this mold " hysteria " was still so unknown that not one doctor or family member believed her. They told her to see a psychiatrist and accused me of mentally manipulating her into believing that mold could have this effect. Now I've created a monster. I sat down on the couch after a momentary visit to a place that we know to be contaminated and she yelled at me. She was right. I know better than this. So I had to grovel and run off to decontaminate. Fortunately the couch was all right. We worked too hard to recover to put up with cross contamination from a careless act. And I know from sitting in too many cross contaminated chairs (like in Dr s reception room) how easily this can happen. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
