Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi everyone, I haven't posted much recently, so I'll recap my health issues. I've had CFS for 11 years. I got sick in Kenya. I'd lived there for 2 years and had lots of problems w/parasites. Eventually, I just collapsed w/fatigue. I've been eating strict NT for 2 years, but I can't eat dairy (even raw & fermented). I also don't eat gluten. I recently consulted with Tom Cowan and he believes my liver was poisoned by all the anti-parasitic druge I took in Kenya. I've seen very small improvement in my health even with the diet changes -- really, nothing to write home about. When I came back from Kenya I moved back into my father's house as I'm unable to work (and thus afford anywhere else). The carpeting here is OLD and a lot of it is wall-to-wall shag. I'm pretty sure there is mold in the carpet and within the past few weeks -- all of a sudden -- I started having moderate-severe allergy symptoms while in the house. Itchy throat, eyes, nose, sneezing, etc... My GUESS is that somehow the mold has gotten worse and is at a level I can't tolerate. My questions: 1. Is there anyway to address this without removing the carpets? My dad doesn't want to do this and he is skeptical that mold is a problem and that removing them would help me. I should say that in the past when I've been in a mold-free environment for a week or more, my health has not improved. 2. Does anyone have any reputable info on the dangers of mold, or mold allergies? I need to do SOMETHING as it's clear by the constant throat-itching during the past 2 weeks that something is really bothering me. I'd like to move out, but that's not an option.
