Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am curious to know how you determined that the allergy antigens were bad for you and whether you experienced breathing problems from the mold exposure. --- In , " kl_clayton " <kl_clayton@...> wrote: > > I first was diagnosed with a mold problem by an environmental allergist, who gave me > diflucan for awhile, which I needed, and antigens, which it turned out were a bad idea. > > As some people suggested, the antigens really do keep putting toxins into the body, and > put more of a burdon on it.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yes, I had pretty bad asthma that had progressed to anaphylactic attacks. I determined it by my own sense of what was healthy for me, as I described before. Many of us have had to become experts on our own bodies since no one else was going to help us much. I like to do things one at a time so I have some idea of what is happening, since there are other environmental influences that are harder, but not impossible, to control. The house was done- there was no mold there- I even had it inspected by a man that was a toxic mold survivor, so he could tell instantly if there was any there by his reaction. Then, I stopped the antigens on a good day, and let it go for a few days. I then started experiencing more toxic symptoms, which is what I would expect when the source of the toxins is removed. I started having small joint pains, and a few other pains like that. More bursitis, which is inflammation, and may well be related to cytokines. When I did a challenge, some other symptoms were much much worse, and when I quit again, things started to improve. I sincerely doubt I would have been able to get a negative VCS score if I had been still taking the antigens (there were mold antigens as well as pollen, and there were live spores and toxins, no doubt) , as they were increasing the toxic load on my body.
