Organic Garden

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I haven't felt well as of late but trying to keep going. I went to

Wal Mart to buy some mildew resistance bathroom paint but they were

out so I bought some veggie plants instead. Yesterday I got approx 3

different species 30 plants of lettice planted. I remember a long

time ago, when my now 26 year old son was just 1, I planted an

organic garden. I had some health issues at that time as well. I

was treated positive for mold allergies then. I had no idea there

was a mold problem in the house we lived in back then until as of

late from what I read here. The house had been burned and was built

over the burned. I had noticed in the attic the burned wood had not

been replaced with new. I thought nothing of it but one bedroom

continued to bother me with a leak. I am sure the fire dept gave the

building a big dose of watering down as well! I thought the tow of

having my first born was what had dragged me down so bad. Thinking

back, I know there was a mold issue in that old house.

The thing that got me feeling better was getting out of the house and

planting my garden. I even started feeling well enough to get back in

the work place. I also had a good allergist whose shots were the

only ones I ever taken that actually helped. He told me which

vitamins to take and which to stay away from to deal with a mold

allergy. He even instructed me on what to eat and what not to eat. I

even started working 3 jobs I felt so good!

This morning going outside and looking at my lettice patch and

planning for my planting tomorrow, I am looking forward to better

health this summer. Of course, I wear a pollen mask these days as my

lungs can tolerate the dust as in my youth. Life can be tough but we

can hope for a better day! We can't give up hope. I hope that with us

as a group, we can make a difference in each other as well as the

lives of others who have been made ill by mold. There is power in

numbers!

Have a nice day!
