Re: Newsflash-Scientists discover the earth is round!

I'm sorry, but there are just so many damn errors in the overview of this

so-called 'study' to even claim that they've discovered the earth is round.

" They " have admitted to asthma and irritation coming from mold, and now this

says that they're not really so convinced that mold does play a role in creating

or aggrivating asthma. Oh, I see. And they've cleaned 'surface mold' that

apparently shows up again, which says to me IT'S NOT SURFACE MOLD, it's IN the

fabric of the building, which means it's flourishing, which means it's likely to

be producing mycotoxins if it's feeling safe and secure enough. And I'm

wondering about the ethics of discovering mold in someone's home and leaving it

there on purpose. And I'm wondering how many of these folks will end up with

mycotoxicosis since we're still in denial as a society about why we use mold to

create bioweapons...

But if you feel it's progress, Joe, I'm happy that you're happy. ;-) There are

days when I look for ANY damn sign of progress.

Indoor mold removal may help asthma sufferers breathe easily Sep 06, 2007 -

MedWire News: Treating asthma sufferers’ homes with fungicides aimed at removing

any visible mold could help to improve breathing and overall symptoms,

researchers suggest.

Although not conclusive proof than mold removal improves asthma outcomes, data

from a UK study suggest that there are benefits to removing mold from the home.

Biocides can sometimes introduce more problems than they solve. I think its

better to focus on eliminating moisture, then cleaning up mold.

Does it seem as if they are suggesting that spraying some fungicide would

substitute for a real cleanup?

I've seen several similar studies done here in the US going back over

several years that suggest that non-chemical interventions like addressing

all sources of moisture such as leaky roofs, plumbing, damp basements and

crawlspaces, etc. dramatically reduces the incidence of athsma.
