Re: Heat/Sun and feeling ill

November 29, 2005

I don't know, and I am not a doc. But I have a parallel story. I know a guy who,

at the age

of 18 months would pass out and need to be taken to the doc when he was exposed

to

cold air (as in winter snow). About this time his mom started to have hemorragic

uterine

episodes and sinus infections that never let up. I believe they were exposed to

toxic mold.

Anyway, she took him to Walter , and they decided it had something to do

with his

allergic system, and they put him on allergy shots, which did reduce, and

eventually " cure "

this symptom.

I have had problems with my blood pressure being too low, but not from the heat.

I think

it has to do with mold. I take Alka Seltzer Gold (no aspirin, only electrolytes

in balance)

when it happens, or sometimes a half teaspoon of baking soda, or 200 mg of

potassium. I

have a feeling mine is due to not enough electrolytes to keep the fliuds in my

body.

I worked with my chiropractor on all of my many mold symptoms, and I think that

when

my adrenals got helped over time, my blood pressure normalized. I took some

bioset

vegetarian enzyme/herb supplement in low doses. Now my blood pressure is almost

normal most of the time. I also took some multi vitamins etc, so I am assuming

it was the

adrenal support that did the trick. It may have been a combo. it took months.

Good luck with your trip. I hope you find something that helps.

I would def. talk to your doctor about this. And you should definitely be

taking whatever supplements work for you.

There is an excellent bunch of compilations on various supplements on the

garynull site under 'codex' that is worth reading.. He has stuff there on

many of my favorite supps..

Even if its not about mold, it is worth reading.. But I woudn't begin to

know what might help that..

I often get really tired and overwhelmed when I'm in the heat.. sweat

profusely, feel as if I'm about to pass out.

It may be the mold, but it also may be something else.. TRY TO GET SOME

PROFESSIONAL HELP!

Have you tried 'creatine' supplements? It helps bodybuilders and its

mentioned in mold warriors.. ????

I also take alpha-lipoic acid (excellent antioxidant), NAC, and

acetyl-l-carnitine every day..

YMMV.

But they do seem to help me..

I wish I had more advice to give you.. but I am just a mortal .. a geek ..

not any kind of expert on any level..

***I AM NOT A DOCTOR by any means..***
