Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 To repeat, if some have forgotten, KC, that book in the Bible is Leviticus, Chapter 14.......please read it, people. It says VOLUMES.......just in one chapter. Also--although " toxic mold " has been around for centuries, I have my own theories. One of those theories is the fact that CHEAPO " contractors " are building flat roofed buildings...as CHEAP as they can, in order to make their millions. They do NOT care (most, anyway!) about the safety and welfare of those people who must live in, go to school in, or work in, those sick buildings. Furthermore, those buildings which are water-damaged, are often supposedly " renovated " or " remediated, " when in truth they should be DEMOLISHED...... & that's a direct quote from one of my doc's offices just in the past week. If a building is a sick building to begin with, what makes those responsible think that " renovation " will solve the underlying problems? THey're lying FOOLS.....especially here in my town.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Betsy and KC, I might add that I read somewhere that the Russians years ago mutated the stacybotrys fungus into a more powerful fungus in their biowarfare program. Also, our newer airtight homes with fungi-loving paper sheetrock has contributed to the problem. My own speculation is that other environmental factors have altered our ph levels in our bodies to allow various fungal infections to proliferate (new medications, fallout , chlorinated water, and the high sugar content in our foods).

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 .................Leviticus XIV talks about leprosy but it may not be too much of a stretch to look upon toxic mold in the same light. The specific herb mentioned is hyssop. Hyssop is mentioned in several places in the Bible and it might be a good herb to consider when using a detoxing regimen for yourself.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 KC, you really mean that molds/fungus have been around since the beginnings of life on earth, millions of years rather than hundreds, yes? A major roll of fungus has been to facilitate decay so that new life has room to grow where previous things have died. It's part of the circle of life. The Bible talks about fungus, of course. It has always been with us, we just haven't always recognized its effects, and mold in indoor environments has the ability to fortify itself and become more hazardous than molds living outdoors where it has competitors. ~Haley tigerpaw2c <tigerpaw2c@...> wrote: Betsy, Fungi and their toxins have been around for centuries.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Stachybotrys mycotoxicosis was first described in the 1930s, in the ex-Soviet Union. Chances are that people have been getting sick from toxic mold for as long as there have been people, they just didn't realize what the causes were. Toxic mold remediation suggestions were given in the Old Testament of the Bible, which implies at least 1700 BCE or so.. Of course, buildings are tighter now and built differently. Sheetrock in particular wasn't around until the 60s or so.. Many people also are less able to afford to leave windows open. Because of the cost of heating and air conditioning some people get less fresh air than they might have in the past because of higher energy costs and a perceived need to keep those heating or cooling costs down. Also, the cost of medical care has skyrocketed, and the social contract has deteriorated. In the past, people may have had more of a support network for when they got sick, now they don't and they also are acutely aware of the economic impact of illness on their and their families futures. They see mold as avoidable, and they get angry when it isn't avoided. Things that greedy people would have gotten away with doing to poor people before, are now much less tolerated as people realize that they are not alone in having them done to them.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hey Everyone! I think that all together, you've all answered the question perfectly. As far as my thinking I think that Quackadillian hit it closest for me. Over the past 11 months, I have had the wonderful opportunities to converse with many mold abatement contractors and I asked them the same question. Most of them said the same things: that people didn't use drywall (sheet rock) in building homes, since plaster was the preferred material for walls; also that the mold " eats " the chemicals that are in the newer synthetic building materials; that we use forced air and heating systems now instead of fireplaces, etc, which doesn't really keep the atmosphere as dry as it used to; that since we do use air conditioning these days we don't get as much fresh air circulation in our homes and the air conditioners themselves can cause mold from all the chemicals used in them and also the condensation that builds up and no one ever even realizes it until they have to move it for some reason; also they said that most of the time when you bring the lumber to the job site it's already got mold on it, so it's been sitting around a lumber yard, around the other building supplies that the mold likes to feast on and those spores (toxic spores) spread to the lumber. I think that's about all they said about it. And all of the things that all of you have stated all kind of fits together. Because not only did people mutate the toxins but they also mutated on their own and became more toxic, as all toxins, viruses and bacteria do. There are so many chemicals in the newer building materials that the molds like to eat that no wonder they grow so much faster. They especially like the glues in carpeting, drywall, particle board, etc..... So I guess one of the reasons also is because when there weren't so many chemicals in the building materials, there wouldn't have grown as much mold as quickly and we would have been able to keep control of it pretty easily. After all, how long have electric refrigerators been around? .... and air conditioners? .... etc.... OK, so now I can go back to my plain old self... and take off my brainiac hat! ... hehehe... I'm sure there were other things that have been told to me about it or that I've read but I can't remember any more right now. I hope I've helped.
