Re: RE : Health effects of nonindustrial indoor air pollution...

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't expect change to come over night. But just the fact that we have

broken thru the barrier put up by the " not plausible " liars, is a giant

step. No more being treated like dirt by the doctors for saying mold is making

us sick beyond simple allergy.

As far as antifungals, they already are prescribing those more and more from

what I am seeing. I am thrilled by this, not just for those made sick from

mold, but for many types of exposures. For the doctors to be trained to

recognize, diagnose and treat while including environmental exposures in the

equation is huge.

Carl,

Jump in here. Please tell the members of Sickbuildings what you have

witnessed about the doctors being so hungry and anxious to learn this

information.

I hope that this will now translate into lab orders and changes in

diagnostic protocol. What I mean is lab orders for blood or urine testing for

mycotoxins or the catalogue of molds. And, the change from doing a CAT scan or

MRI

which will show does not offer a close nexus to direct causation between

exposure and medical treatment.

I hope this will also change the status of drugs which, are now, " off-label "

and not approved for use to battle human mold infections. It should take the

heat off some of the courageous docs who have assisted in treating mold or

IAQ exposed patients.

This should begin to have an effect as well on Veterans, whose Gulf War

Illnesses stem from biological exposures. ©

Great progress. Thanks for the post.

Happy New Year! There is a new paper soon to be published within the JACI.

On can read it online if you register for free with the JACI. I think we

have gotten thru to the allergists/immunolohave gotten thru to the

allergists/immunol

of hooey regarding the implausibility of poisoning from indoor microbial

toxin exposure.

Relevant sentences being share with the allergists in the new paper that

dispel the myth:

" Acute effects, such as lung inflammation and hemorrhagic exudates in the

alveolar lumina, have been

shown in animal studies using high doses of mycotoxin-containinshown in a

Although a recent review by the United States Institute of Medicine

concluded

that in vitro and in vivo studies suggest biological plausibility between S

chartarum exposure and health effects, more extensive research is needed to

clarify this highly controversial area. "

As opposed to the myth of ACOEM:

" Levels of exposure in the indoor environment, dose-response data in

animals, and dose-rate considerations suggest that delivery by the

inhalation route

of a toxic dose of mycotoxins in the indoor environment is highly unlikely

at

best, even for the hypothetically most vulnerable subpopulations.be

This is half the battle right here! For the AAAAI/JACI to acknowledge and

dispel this myth, is a huge step in the right direction for those who are

seriously ill but have been shunned by the medical community. It is also a

major

step that they are teaching the allergists to look at indoor pollutants in

general as a possible cause of illness.
