Re: Anyone have success moving to Europe, elsewhere?

[Guest guest]

I dont think there is any excapeing mcs, read somewhere that you might

fell better for a while after moveing but than you will develope new

intolerances to what evers in your area. somewhere with a lot of snow

might be good for being outside but inside might be worse. and I did

read something about higher altatudes being better but maybe not with

asthma, but my asthma is based mostly on my exposures so??? with mcs

it's no longer just a mold issue but all irritants. liveing in the

country vs. city might help alot, high on a hill somewhere.

The reason i asked is that I read yeasterday that many of the worst

chemicals are now banned in Europe, Japan, etc, or slated to be banned, but

there don't seem to be any plans here to ban them in the US, which means

that the US is now becoming a dumping ground for products that can't be sold

in the EU anymore..

It's because we have manufacturers like P & G who are so powerful and

monopolize the cosmetic industry. That's why we need to sign

petitions and write letters to let our politicians know we're unhappy

with chemicals in products that are NOT labeled such. And that we

consumers aren't getting what we want and being lied to.

I traveled to Europe since I've been sick and didn't have any problems at

all. The hotel (London) was clean and very nice. The whole country was clean as

well as London itself! The have actually reduced the city traffic by taxing

those that drive into the city.

As I have constantly heard that European policies on mold in buildings

are much stricter and the materials they use are less prone to mold, I

am wondering if any people with mold illness have successfully moved

to Europe to get better?
