Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 All Press Releases for August 7, 2005 New Mold Process Demonstration, Captiva Island, Florida Non-evasive process won Best New Product Of The Year. http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2005/8/emw269939.htm (PRWEB) August 7, 2005 -- SFCS Environmental, Inc. a Fort Lauderdale Florida based mold remediation contractor will be demonstrating the patented ThermaPureHeat™ process. The process will be used to kill mold, bacteria and other viral hazards in hurricane-damaged homes without the use of chemicals. The process utilizes clean, dry, odorless heat to disinfect buildings in much the same way heat is used to pasteurize milk and to kill bacteria in wine. The process won the Best New Product in the Nation by the Society of Professional Engineers. Over 20,000 projects have been completed with this process including the Capitol building in Sacramento and numerous schools throughout California. Jerry Gillman, president of SFCS stated, " The process has been effectively used in California with great success, however it is relatively unknown in Florida. In addition to mold the process has been successfully used for remediation of bedbugs, anthrax, insects, Smallpox, Hantavirus and numerous other bacterial contaminates. " Gillman stated they would demonstrate the process by remediation of three hurricane damaged homes on August 9, 10 and 11th. The demonstration process is open to all interested parties by contacting the Company at 954-457-7337 to obtain directions. Florida, with its high humidity levels is the ideal environment for mold related problems. With traditional mold remediation methods, the cost for remediation of a 2000 square foot structure averages over $40,000. If that isn't bad enough, occupants can be displaced for weeks or even months while traditional methods are completed. Gillman stated, " Our process can be completed in a day for a fraction of the cost for most structures. " The ThermaPureHeat™ process is a fast, safe and effective tool in the fight against mold related health issues. ### CONTACT INFORMATION Jerry Gillman SFCS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I'm familiar with this process and have some mixed opinions. And hopes! The success with insects is based on the original patented process used in California as long as 20 years ago when they put a tent over the house and heated it to kill the insects. This company bought the patents a few years ago and are modifying it for mold. Heat does kill mold and this have been proven in the lab. Heat is also able to denature mold -- destroy its allergic and other properties that cause reactions in people -- but only at very high temperatures. Burning is the ultimate. The minimum heat required to do this is being investigated in the lab but the the studies aren't completed yet (as far as I know). Preliminary data that I'm familiar with puts it above 180 degrees F. To heat an entire house may need a higher temperature because the heat won't be instantly uniform throughout the structure, especially inside walls and other complex or thick materials. 180 is high enough to damage contents - more than just candles and crayons - even over a short period of time. So the question for me is, can they heat it high enough to denature the mold without causing secondary damage from the heat and/or creating a new problem because of the heat? Because nothing is absolute, under what conditions won't this process work? I hope they can succeed. It would save hundreds of millions of dollars in remediation and provide fast results so people don't have to be victimized by long-term mold exposure anymore. I'll be very interested in the results of their test. I also hope they have independent experts interpreting the results.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Can't one ventilate toxins out of house? ----- Original Message ----- From: " Murtaugh " <johnjmurtaughtoxicmold@...> This may kill the spores, but what about the toxins? Are they destroyed as well? That would be incredible if it did both, because as Dr. Shoemaker says: " Toxins live forever. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Greg, Thanks for making the distinction between the marketing vulnerable and myself. My optimism is always there because I'll never give up hope. Who knows which new cockamaimy idea will help! My health has returned (slowly over 15 years) not because of the traditional but the experimental and innovative. Shoemaker and Hudnell are perfect examples. But my optimism is always very guarded because my trial and the error results of using their methods is that 99% of it is all crap. And of the 1% that works - for me - there are always limitations. They may be fantastic is some situations, but horrible or even dangerous in others. Remember, the marketer's goal is not to help me, but to motivate me to transfer money from my bank account into theirs. So what is the real goal? Based on what helped me and my clients the last 18 years it is very simple: Stop the exposures, both external and internal, and the reactions will stop. For mold, as you say: Stop the water, remove the contamination and rebuild. Actually doing that can be difficult. Not because of lack of procedures, a miracle drug or the latest technology but because those that have the authority to act, don't. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC ----- > , > > You're right.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 OK- this is life as I see it yes -you can cook mold, and drying out a house after a bad storm or water intrusion sounds like the best way to go- I would want it if i was damaged in a hurricane. But I think all the " oldie-moldies " on this site would agree that there is nothing you can do for a house or contents to get rid of the mycotoxins-high heat doeas nothing to them. That is why I am going out on a limb here an stating that I think it is possible to remediate a house or work enviroment enough that you can sell it-but if it has had a longstanding-problem-it will not be possible for the people who were made sick to ever inhabit it again- they " feel the burn " from the immortal mycotoxins- if you don't know what I am talking about - you have never been sensitized to them- -- , " Carl E.
