" -Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, Desperation Medicine page 236. I've been using the 'associative responses' of what I called " The Shrieking Dream Response " and " Vacuum Exacerbation effect " as clues to mycotoxin exposures. After reading this paragraph, I contacted Dr Shoemaker and asked him if he knew the specific reason for the common complaint of " exhaustion after vacuuming " that so many people have noticed, or if he had included this in Desperation Medicine simply because of the importance that patients attached to this phenomenon. Dr Shoemaker replied that his attention was drawn to vacuuming because of the frequency of patients complaints but that he didn't know why, and speculated that perhaps it was because of the physical effort involved in vacuuming. Dr Shoemaker observed this complaint and put emphasis on it because of the importance that PATIENTS put on it. ALL OTHER doctors dismissed this phenomenon because they couldn't understand the reason - and were not willing to look. I explained that vacuuming causes a massive " mycotoxin release " which is so strangely devastating to mold responders that patients take a special notice of the peculiar LACK of correlation between the degree of effort expended and the horrific aftermath of this particular activity. This is PROOF to me that Dr Shoemaker is the ONLY doctor I have contacted out of many hundreds who LISTENS to patients and is willing to LEARN from them in the manner of Sir Osler. Dr Shoemaker demonstrated his professionalism and dedication to sufferers by being willing to research such subtleties, only because they " don't fit the model " and because of their importance to patients. Many doctors claim to be adherents of Sir Osler, but Dr Shoemaker is the only one who proved it. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 , I agree with what you and Dr.Shoemaker are saying as far as the effects from vacuuming. But I didn't put it to the disturbance of these allergens, dust,mold, whichever. I made the connection more to her sweating and raising the blood pressure that would cause many of her symptoms to flair up and sometimes put her in bed for several days. Upon sweating releasing these toxins into the bloodstream, which is my theory. Because this occurance has happened with other mild type of exerise. Not within the home. So I'm not 100% convienced that the answer is always the disturbance of these particles and can be at times internal disturbances.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 For my part, I know it was the disturbance of particles, because I was too sick to clean myself, and had a cleaning lady- I solved the problem by making cleaning day my day to go to the beach, and came back very late- it still bothered me untill I asked for the no dry dusting rule. also my car was vacumned, by someone else- And I could not drive it for almost a week. > > , > > I agree with what you and Dr.Shoemaker are saying as far as the > effects from vacuuming.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I also have a problem with sweating at times. I don't know if this would help you wife, but it is helpful for me, if I take a hot bath with salt to help draw the toxins out into the water, then I scrub down with a brush and more salt, and rinse off in the shower. My sweat can contain some very bad toxins that become reabsorbed into my skin and make me feel horrible. But if I can get them off in the bath, it seems to really help. I have heard that we can get sick from the toxins draining from the lymph into the gut, where they become re-absorbed into the system, and by sweating it gets the toxins out a different way than through the liver and lymph system. I get sick from having sweat that doesn't get washed off soon enough. I don't know if this is helpful, but I thought I would mention it. kathryn > > > Loni-untill I got better, I would be sick for 3 days after > > cleaning- and this with a hepa vacumn- < > > > > " It's also difficult, as a practicing family physician, not to > > respond to these descriptions of searing sensitivity to bright > > lights (and especially to blue tones), along with the harrowing > > reports of nightmares full of death, blood and dismemberment.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 , She has a difficult time taking a hot bath, especially long enough ones to do any good. I know a lot of sweating would help and then a whirlpool would be great afterwards to rinse the toxins off the skin. But normally when this sweating occurs the fibro, the headaches and all the other aches and pains flare up, severe fatigue.She gets very dizzy and sick to her stomach. After that comes days of bed rest. I believe the reasoning behind this reaction are the toxins being released from the fatty tissue into the bloodstream, but it is the severity of the symptoms afterwards that concerns me. Then the night sweats are constant, which for her is totally different and their effects. I do believe strongly that saunas and whirlpools are a big part of the detox regiment. It would be nice if insurance would pay for this equipment. If they only understood the severity of reactions immediately after for those that have been exposed to environmental toxins.(mold or chemical) If you don't sweat enough to really excrete these toxins, then many stay within the bloodstream and do more harm. Kindof a catch 22 isn't it?! I'm sure exercise is very important also, but I really don't see how it is possible for many of you without experiencing severe relapse. This would come after months of detoxing by sauna's, whirlpools, along CSM, Diet, etc. where you will not feel the extreme effects, hopefully by this time you will be able to exercise without fear of a flareup.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Yes, my sympathies. Maybe she is sweating enough at night? But a crucial thing for me is to get the sweat off my body asap, when ever it happens. Sometimes I just grab a hand towel out of the closet to mop myself up. I like to wear cotton next to my skin, because it absorbs well. I have some of these symptoms too. Some other ladies use a tepid bath, and say that pouring the water over rinses the toxins off beore they get a chance to re-absorb into the skin. Lots of us don't do well with hot water, but they say the baths help anyway. I have a hard time with exercise too. I just have a regular bathtub, but it is an old large one. Not a whirlpool, or anything fancy. The detoxing is pretty bad. People have said that the CSM can really help with that, esp for the toxins that get into the gut. The Candida people really go for the theory of " keeping the bowel moving " to combat that. I have not done either one. But I do the baths, cause they help, and lay around alot when I need to. I thought the detox was through the skin, or the liver dumps it into the intestines. I guess you could absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream. I think someof my toxins come from the fungal infections I battle. Yes, it seems like a catch 22, it will be nice when we are all better. > > > > > Loni-untill I got better, I would be sick for 3 days after > > > > cleaning- and this with a hepa vacumn- < > > > > > > > > " It's also difficult, as a practicing family physician, not to > > > > respond to these descriptions of searing sensitivity to bright > > > > lights (and especially to blue tones), along with the > harrowing > > > > reports of nightmares full of death, blood and dismemberment. > And > > > > what about the patients who complain so often of two-day bouts > of > > > > exhaustion - merely after completing such simple chores as > > > vacuuming > > > > the living room rug?
