Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Happyru/All: Try http://www.mycotoxicosis.com/ Doug Haney @...: happyru@...: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 18:38:44 +0000Subject: [] MOLD and Your Health This is the most symptom entailed list I have found....http://www.holistichelp.net/mold.htmlRecently we have begun to see a rise in mold related health problems from toxic molds such as stachybotrys, strains of aspergillus, chaetomium and penicillium. Health problems can be so severe that some people actually have had to burn their homes. Although, we are beginning to see a lot of exposure in the media regarding these molds, and thus it is increasing awareness in our society about mold related health issues, we often don't hear about the devastating health problems that are caused by common everyday molds present in all our environments. Mold is an invisible microscopic organism and it is everywhere. It is in the air and grows on everything. Typically we can't see it until it grows into larger colonies. It is the most widespread living organism in thousands of varieties indoors and out. Mold puts out showers of spores into the air that can be in the millions. It is present in highest numbers in the spring and fall, but is present in all seasons and is often underestimated for the vast amount of havoc it can perpetrate on one's health. Molds make toxins called mycotoxins that can do the same damage to our health as any chemical such as formaldehyde, toluene, natural gas or trichloethylene. They can even initiate cancers, cause chemical sensitivity and just about any symptom you can think of ranging from high blood pressure to depression. Not only do molds trigger typical organs such as nose, chest or skin with allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, rashes, hives and eczema, but the brain can also be the target organ. Mold can be a primary cause of depression, obsessive compulsion, panic attacks, schizophrenia, tourettes syndrome, migraine, headaches, or inability to concentrate. In susceptible individuals mold can also cause dermatitis, dizziness, fatigue, algias, irritability, weakness, burning eyes, arthritis, lower IQ, chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, hyperactivity, symptoms attributed to MS, heart palpitations, cravings for sweets or carbohydrates, gastrointestinal distress such as irritable bowel, indigestion, heartburn, etc., and much more. _________________________________________________________________ Make distant family not so distant with Windows Vista® + Windows Live™. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/digitallife/keepintouch.mspx?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_CPC\ _VideoChat_distantfamily_012008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Group, Maybe it's just me. I found the site from happyuiam http://www.holistichelp.net/mold.html to be quite good about holistic health. Very informative and objective. However, and this is not a criticism of happyuiam, the section on mold has a much different tone, as most mold sites do. Instead of " associated with " or " leads to " or " profound impact " it uses words like " causes " or " devasting health problems " or " showers of spores into the air that can be in the millions. " Or, " can do the same damage to our health as... " The point I'm making is why is the rhetoric about mold so definite, adamant and frightening, even inflammatory, when worse conditions are dealt with more calmly and evenhandedly? Check out the other pages on the site and compare. Or is it just me?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Carl, I was ONLY commenting on the list of symptoms they presented. I have not found in any Sited Documents with so many of the Symptoms I have experienced myself and in finding it , I thought I'd share and perhaps someone would also recognize a symptom they had not seen described anywhere else. --- In , " Carl E.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 No apology necessary. I fully understand. Keep on searching for more and better information and taking chances based on your own decisions. We all learn more by trying, and have a better chance of succeeding, than by just following advice from authority.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have some comments regarding the neurological damage caused by mold exposure. There have been several papers published on this issue regarding humans and animals. If you would go to moldenvironment.com I have come to an agreement with Darlene. We are publishing key abstracts and research paper on role of microbial infested indoor enviroments and health effects. When one inhales fine particulates (nanoparticles up to the size of mold spores and hyphae), the particulates get trapped in the nasal mucosa and the olfactory mucosa. There is no blood brain barrier with respect to the olfactory area of the nasal cavity. Studies have shown that when mycotoxins are instilled into the olfactory area of rodents, the neurons are damaged. In addition, the damage also occurs in the olfactory lobes of the brain. Not only are mycotoxins involved in this process, but also endotoxins, glucans, hemolysins, MVOCs, bacterial exotoxins, etc. Within a reasonable scientific and toxicological probability, the mechanism of injury in humans is similar to that seen in laboratory animals. There are synergistic adverse effects between to endotoxins and mycotoxins that occur in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Finally, both children and adults in water-damaged structures develop an inflammation of the nasal cavity that is not related to allergies. This inflammatory condition releases proinflammatory mediators that are demonstrable in the peripheral blood as well as washings from the nasal cavity. Jack D.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 This is very true. I have both allergies and mold illness. The allergies are always tolerable in my case but dealing with mold illness is a whole different ball game and something I can not tolerate very well health wise. I went back to my doctor today and my sinuses are still not 100% clear. They are much much clearer but still need more healing. I am better after being only 3 weeks out of the mold environment and in a new house, but I do feel the drain and tax it has put on my whole body and system. I am not using my nebulizer and c-pap to breath since I have moved here, so that is the good thing. Just feeling a drastic difference proves to me that mold is so very bad but not being 100% well shows it is not just an allergy issue for those of use who do have allergies as well as mold exposure illness. It will take time to recover fully and I hope I can recover 100%. I hope everyone will recover once they get out...I hope it is possible for all of us to get well. This is my wish. --- " Jack Thrasher, Ph.D. " <toxicologist1@...> wrote: > I have some comments regarding the neurological > damage caused by mold exposure.
