On the advice of a discussion board member, whose name I can't find - but thanks - I called Dr. in Spring TX at 281-681-8989 (thanks Staceylynn7777) - they were so nice to me - they have an environmental medical clinic there and Dr. has conducted joint research on mold patients with Dr. Kaye Kilburne, of University of Southern CA Keck School of Medicine, a physician I consulted with who gave me my first decent (great) diagnosis. Maybe calling there will give you some help. They seemed ok and if he worked with Dr. Kilburne, I'd say he must be good. Good luck, I hate to think of children suffering from this stuff - it is bad enough for us adults to handle. That is why moldy schools drive me crazy - it is so unfair to the kids.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi - Has anyone out there ended up with duodenal erosions after their toxic mold exposure, or know anything about recovering from them??? My infant son had developed an intestinal aspergillus overgrowth & had immediately quit growing upon exposure to the mold in our home. He is now almost 3 & still has significant growth delay. His recent colonoscopy & biopsy showed 6 inches worth of " active, chronic, moderate erosions of the duodenum. " At least this explains WHY he won't grow because of the significant damage to this area of the small intestine where everything is absorbed. The cause was " unknown etiology, " and the usual causes of celiac disease & H. pylori were negative. The doctors don't know how to correct it, but all agree he will never grow right with such severe damage. I thought I might take a chance & see if anyone on this list knows anything that could help my son. Thanks, Souza, R.D.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 HELLO SB and you are VERY WELCOME! My name is Stacey and I live in southwest florida. Dr. Cambpell is very good and reallly knows his stuff when it comes to these molds and mycotoxins. He and Dr. Kilburn have written what will someday soon be published in the medical journals for the rest of these " follow the leader " mentality professionals who take years and years to catch on to the anything other than what is listed in their big red book of " answers " . Yes, whoever this child is and to his parents, please do his little innocence a favorable justice and get him to a specialist such as Dr. or Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in land. My prayers, Stacey in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Regarding Intestinal Erosions... me and my twin sister have used Ulcinex by Metagenics - along with DGL Licorice... has really helped... See this link at Metagenics: http://www.metagenics.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?pid=110 Some of their other products that have helped: Ultra Clear Sustain (can only take if if you don't have Candida or high leveles of mold in the gut) Ultra Clear is also very good for de-tox.
