Yes indeed!

I've seen a couple of recoveries after leaving a mold pit.

One was from a moldy sailboat. Husband had CNS difficulties and heart

palpitations but very little skin problems. Wife was dang near in a

hospital from psoriasis.

Moved off the boat and they both improved.

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply. It just makes sense to me that the mold

caused

this. Well, maybe the mold and the stress together. I mean it says

it

is caused from foreign invaders. I'd think that millions of mold

spores being breathed every day for 2 years would be a foreign

invader. I just wish I could find a doctor that would say it is from

the mold or that it is at least possible that it's from the mold.

Thanks,

I'm not saying mold does not aggravate psoriasis but, there are

other questions to consider:

How much vitamin D do you get from sunlight, milk and/or calcium

supplements? Topical medicines for psoriasis cause an increase in

vitamin D production on the skin surface affected.

Do you use antimicrobial soaps that may cause skin dryness which

will exaccerbate psoriasis.

I remember how AMAZED my friend with psoriasis was when she moved off

the moldy sailboat (Hunter 44) and dramatically witnessed her problem

almost completely disappeared.

She had tried everything that a dozen doctors prescribed and just

continued to get worse in spite of everything.

Then all she did is move and despite doing nothing " medical " , she has

an almost total recovery by discontinuing medical interventions and

doing nothing.

It becomes clear after seeing a few hundred incredible examples like

this that doctors are clearly " missing the boat " on " mold avoidance " .

I not saying medicine in the form of topical ointments will make a

person able to live in a moldy environment without suffering from

psoriasis. It is possible the mold spores or conidia is resting in

the pores of skin and causing dermititis which would exaccerbate

psoriasis.

I am saying a person suffering psoriasis may get out of the moldy

enviroment and still not heal due to skin dryness or dermititis and/or

a lack of Vitamin D whether it is from skin reactions to natural

sunlight and/or supplementation through the diet.

BTW, I have battled psoriasis and I have not seen a correlation with

my time in moldy environments doing investigations or remediations. I

am saying we need to see the whole picture.

But, you are right about " mold avoidance " as far as a day to day

practice.

Hi,

I wasn't really asking if mold aggravated psoriasis. I was wondering

if the mold caused it. I do not live in our moldy home anymore. I

still have the psoriasis. I got the psoriasis when I lived in the

moldy house. It is better now but who knows if that is from the

medicine or what. I don't use soaps that dry my skin out, I use

lotion, get plenty of vitamin D and have been using flurandrenolide

tape. When we were in the moldy house I used 4 different

prescriptions, tried KC's idea of the vinegar and it just kept

getting worse. Now that I am out of the house it is not gone but it

is better.

The basis for the discussion has been that people with the HLA-DR mold

susceptibility genotypes are able to better deal with their infections

if their inflammatory response is not being dysregulated by mycotoxins.

People with this genetic makeup all function better and lead a more

normal life if they avoid mold and environmental toxins, sometimes

even without identifying which other infections are involved.
