Re[2]: Does anyone know an Enviromental Physician in the Indy area

[Guest guest]

So sorry about your illness, Marcie. It certainly is devastating. The

medical community has literally been horse-blinded to prevent them

from knowing the truth about mold - especially toxic mold.

Histoplasmosis not only comes from birds (mostly pigeons) and bats,

but from gardening anywhere. It can be in the soil. There are tests by

special labs to determine whether you've been exposed to stachy. These

are simple blood tests (costs not so simple) as opposed to lung

biopsy.

MM> The first doctor that I saw at Tarrant Co. Infectious Disease told that Mold

can't hurt you. Without looking at my Cat Scan pictures, he diagnosed me with

Histoplasmosis. Which is a disease

MM> caused by bird droppings or bats. He stated I most likely got while I lived

in Tenn. I have not been around either bats or birds. The second time I saw him,

he read my test results on my lab work

MM> and found my Immune System dropped to 307, as he called it " frighteningly

low " . He then told me he could be wrong, he was not God and did not know

everything.( Gee...you think?) Since after my

MM> third treatment of IVIG at 30 grams per treatment, they did another blood

test to see if I was responding. " Nope " One level that was 307 only came up a

little bit and 3 other areas dropped. I

MM> have now taken 2 more treatments at 42 grams of Immugammogoblin (sp) and not

much change. I am still losing weight and my abdomen area hurts all the time. I

have headaches 24/7, hair loss, memory

MM> loss and a lot of other

MM> unpleasant systems.( don't know what happened to my 140 IQ) I cannot stand

for long or sit up for long. I have worked in Law Enforcement for 32 years and

could normally take down a 310 lb. man

MM> but now, I cannot fight a butterfly.( I did take a break from Law

Enforcement for awhile as Stage Manager of the OKC Symphony) My heart goes out

to everyone who has the same problems...I know I

MM> am not alone in this. I am going to fight this to the TOP! What really makes

me angry is the treatment of some people who call themselves " Doctors " and have

no idea what the hell to do! Even " if "

MM> I had Histoplasmosis before I was exposed to the Stachybotrys, it does not

cause the Immune System to crash. This one doctor at TCID said I got the

Histoplasmosis while I lived in Tenn. I have

MM> not lived there since 1973. If anyone else is having the same diagnosis let

me know. The Cat Scan showed Granulomatous all throughout my body. In 1996 my

lungs did not look like this. Of course

MM> having MS and being exposed

MM> to Stachybotrys was not a good thing. ( Now I sound like Martha )

:->

MM> Good Luck to everyone and lets get some action for help! I'll be the first

in line. I now have ZERO INCOME. Will be applying for Food Stamps on Monday.

What happened to my Independence? This

MM> really sucks!

MM> Peace,

DC>> Hi all,

DC>> We have a friend that has been ill for over 11 months now. I spoke

with him yesterday, and for the second time I talked about mold as a possible

problem. All the doctors he has seen have

DC>> not been able to figure out what is wrong, they have sought everything from

Pneumonia to who knows what. When I told him they probably gave him

antibacterials or steroids, which can make the

DC>> problem worse, he said they gave him a steroid pump, and he quit using it

after two days because he couldn't breathe. He also has mold in his work place.

Now he is going to see a lung

DC>> specialist, and I'm afraid they will just diagnose him with something like

institiated lung disease or something, and not isolate the real problem. I'm

about 90% sure he has a mold issue, and I

DC>> told him he needs to find a mold specialist to either rule it out

definitively, or to find it and treat it properly. Please help, our local

hospital can't diagnose apendicitis, (sad but true,

DC>> but that is another story), their original diagnosis of him was a heart

attack, when they ruled that out, they went with Pneumonia, now they just don't

know what is wrong with him. Sad, you don't

DC>> have to pay a mechanic that can't fix your car, but these money-mongers

still want their pay when they admittedly don't know what is wrong.

DC>> Does doctor Shoemaker do long distance disgnosis? Does he take new

clients? Is there someone in our area that anyone here may be aware of that my

friend can see? He is so sick and tired of

DC>> being sick and tired.

DC>> Some of his symptoms are, insomnia, labored breathing, (sometimes

extreme), neurological problems, headaches, etc.

DC>> Please anyone, we are so concerned about our friend if he doesn't get

help soon,
