Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 For us, leaving the environment was only the beginning of starting to heal. We needed treatment from mold knowledgeable doctors.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I did improve quite a bit here in this 2 year old house in contrast to where I came from in NC. But I would have to say the symptoms are quite different and I can relate to the brain fog to the point where it's debilitating. That and the fatigue (and slight burning sensation). I am sleeping out in my car at least 10 hours a day and this seems to improve the situation. I don't think my car is mold free though. But by breaking up my experience with two highly contrasting envirment's it seems to help a lot. I do have spells of fatigue that seem to come out of the blue or from no apparent cause. My clock is completely screwed up now I am going to bed at 5am and getting up at 12pm. This is synonymous with mold exposure. During the summer here when the ac was on it was intolerable and drove me out on the porch because the ac tends to amplify any existing problems the house has. Generally I think this house is very good as far as mold goes I am just super sensitized. Interestingly I do ok with the house shut and the heat on. Although I probably do best with the windows open. My theory is a lot of the lumber in these houses has mold on it just dormant and very inconspicuous or what would be perfectly acceptable for ordinary people. So I want to try moving out west and living in my home made wood free truck camper. (I also believe that outdoor ambient mold is a problem depending on where you live) I have a theory that eating left overs or foods such as nuts and cereal can cause us problems if it's not heated enough to kill any living bacteria or fungi. I really am not sure enough about the theory to tell other people with any degree of certainty that heating my food helps me yet. But I highly suspect this. Seems I used to always react to wheat bread but when I toast it thoroughly I don't. I would be interested if anybody else has tried this type of diet where " everything " gets cooked to destroy any living organisms that might be on the food.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The important thing is to get out so the toxins stop going into your body and making you worse and worse. Brain cells are not like cells in other parts of the body in many respects. I don't think that they all can repair themselves, although I know that some do (contrary to popular belief) many don't. But cells in other parts of the bodymay, from what I have read. liver, kidney, etc.. GETTING MYCOTOXINS OUT IS OF PRIMARY IMPORTANCE.. because they are doing damage from the minute they touch your skin.. In monkeys, some mycotoxins can stay in the body for months, going around in enterohepatic recirculation. If someone's body doesn't deal with them well, its probably longer.. Also, fungi that manage to establish themselves inside of your body while you are in a weakened state, as well as bacteria in your gut can produce similar toxins that need to be removed.. so the healing process can start... I think that many of the neuro issues we are dealing with are similar to those faced by people with chemo brain from cancer chemotherapy. Its worthwhile doing a search on " chemo brain " every few weeks to see what new research has shown up there. It probably applies to us. There is an interesting paper in PLoS Biology last year that shows why... similar mechanisms are at work for a whole spectrum of toxicants. http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document & doi=10.1371%2Fjou\ rnal.pbio.0050035 & ct=1 Chemically Diverse Toxicants Converge on Fyn and c-Cbl to Disrupt Precursor Cell Function Zaibo Li, Tiefei Dong, Pröschel, Mark Noble* Department of Biomedical Genetics, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York, United States of America Identification of common mechanistic principles that shed light on the action of the many chemically diverse toxicants to which we are exposed is of central importance in understanding how toxicants disrupt normal cellular function and in developing more effective means of protecting against such effects. Of particular importance is identifying mechanisms operative at environmentally relevant toxicant exposure levels. Chemically diverse toxicants exhibit striking convergence, at environmentally relevant exposure levels, on pathway-specific disruption of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling required for cell division in central nervous system (CNS) progenitor cells. Relatively small toxicant-induced increases in oxidative status are associated with Fyn kinase activation, leading to secondary activation of the c-Cbl ubiquitin ligase. Fyn/c-Cbl pathway activation by these pro-oxidative changes causes specific reductions, in vitro and in vivo, in levels of the c-Cbl target platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α and other c-Cbl targets, but not of the TrkC RTK (which is not a c-Cbl target). Sequential Fyn and c-Cbl activation, with consequent pathway-specific suppression of RTK signaling, is induced by levels of methylmercury and lead that affect large segments of the population, as well as by paraquat, an organic herbicide. Our results identify a novel regulatory pathway of oxidant-mediated Fyn/c-Cbl activation as a shared mechanism of action of chemically diverse toxicants at environmentally relevant levels, and as a means by which increased oxidative status may disrupt mitogenic signaling. These results provide one of a small number of general mechanistic principles in toxicology, and the only such principle integrating toxicology, precursor cell biology, redox biology, and signaling pathway analysis in a predictive framework of broad potential relevance to the understanding of pro-oxidant–mediated disruption of normal development. .... follow the link above to read the full paper for free..

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 ? it's hard, I had gotten a different car and it was the only place not contaminated. I spent a lot of time there too. not really knowing what had happened to me or what to do with myself. everywhere I moned made me very ill, weither it was mold, hughway traffic pollution, timber dust dirt mold grass ect. this apartment I'm in now has been the first I could tolerate. it's 3 floors up, own entrance and pretty well sealed off from other apt's. still have some problems with smells sometimes coming up from below. I know the basement is moldy so no place to go if tornado comes but oh well. the lady on the first floor told me the basements bad,so from my experience I wouldn't think the first floor would be to great either. live and learn is about all you can do I guess. > > > , if your living in a home with toxic mold in it you have to move > > dude!! its an emergency trust me. > > > > > But if I'm living in a new hoime that that probably has less mold than 90% > of the homes anywhere where should I go? > > > . > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 and Jackie, you also have to try to stop using products with all those chemicals. Use baking soda, vinegar if tolerable, I can use unfragranced soaps and detergents. Sometimes you can't tell the products cause pain, etc. I was very fatigued during my first mold home but I seem to be rid of the fatigue, but I still don't get out much. Exercise seems to help joint pain and increase stamina (spell) I also get those fungal balls once in a while. Had sinus surgury in 1999 and don't ever get stuffy, but sometimes I blow my nose and a large piece of mucus will come out. Guess you could have it checked out by having doctor send to a lab but you have to get it to them right away. Hope this help. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 , Is " ozone Therapy " the brand name of the medicine you used? I'd like to pass the info on to a friend but would appreciate the name and more information about the product. Is it easy to use any side effects or problems? Thanks very much, Sue i used an alternative medicine modality called " Ozone Therapy " to get better. what it does is detoxes the body of toxins. i've tried a lot of things over the years...and it is simply amazing. **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 > I am recovering from a mold infestation and am just starting to feel better-it's been over a year. I also had incredible brain fog that made me feel so stupid-I couldn't follow the plots of simple movies and wasn't able to finish crossword puzzles when I used to do them in record time. That really bothered me but it wasn't like the puzzles were getting harder. It was real proof that I was getting stupider! I really got down on myself after that. Now its better and I do the puzzles every couple of days just to see if I'm getting better and I am better. I can suggest 2 things that worked for me but they're crazy so you just have decide whether you want to try them. I started drinking chlorophyll from alalfa: its supposed to cleanse your system by ridding it of toxins and i have to say I think it works. I felt more energetic almost immediately and after a year feel so improved. The other thing I do is take really hot baths with about 8 ounces of hydrogen peroxide. It sucks the toxins right out of you. Now I understand these two things are strong elements and may not be right for everybody (I'm lucky that I don't react to bleaches.) But the chlorophyll is amazing for me! Good luck! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 in the overall scheme of things, yes, i've recovered. i have 2 cosmetic symptoms left--hoping hair will grow back on the bald areas of my scalp, and my fingernails to look normal again. my big toes are slowwwwly growing out the awful fungus, but since i've never been one to expose/show my feet in public, i don't consider it a symptom. i'm not on any medications and only take 3 supplements---a multi-vitamin, Biotin, and a digestive enzyme. i sleep very well, i absolutely have no fatigue, my outgoing personality is back, my mental abilities are like pre-exposure (meaning i don't have *brain fog* or memory issues), etc. i'm currently looking for employment and also have a couple projects planned. these are the symptoms i no longer have: - headaches lasting for extended periods of time (i've never really gotten headaches before) - runny nose - fatigue - it got to be so bad that you couldn't pay me a billion dollar to stay awake for more than 4 hours at a time - low-grade fevers - this lasted 3+ years - occasional respiratory distress - weight gain of maybe 5-7 pounds - waking up in the middle of the night to a burning sensation in both eyes - eye infections - forgetfulness/memory loss - difficulty concentrating/focusing/thinking - a red splotch on my left temple - " hives " on face - itchy ears - green rashes on abdomen & thighs - toenail fungus on big toes - the fungus part is growing out!!! - itchy scalp, which progressed to hair loss - allergy-type symptoms year-round - sensitivity to smells, particularly cheap cologne & perfume - loss of muscle mass - occasional joint pain - sporadic sharp stabbing pain in my chest - visual sensitivity to light - painful showers from the water hitting my skin - sneezing fits - itchy & puffy face i used an alternative medicine modality called " Ozone Therapy " to get better. what it does is detoxes the body of toxins. i've tried a lot of things over the years...and it is simply amazing. > > I was wondering, has anyone here recovered or gotten much better > after mold? > I am in a new home.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 He said he did not have mold in his house. Like me, many folks did not read his entire post about life *after* living in a mold house. When I asked if anyone recovered, many folks wrote saying I needed to get out of my environment. If they had read my post, it was about getting out of the environment and into a new home and still feeling bad. My home was built last summer. said his house is 2 years old. said his new house does not have mold and my house does not have mold either but yet, folks are telling me I need to move because they choose selective reading! My post was about life AFTER getting out of mold and answered about his life after mold. BTW, I got some great replies. I want to hear more. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sometimes you have to move. A 32 year old man in New York City recently bought a co-op apartment in a well maintained building in a nice neighborhood there for $14,000. So its not impossible, just very, very, very hard. This was such an unusual story that the New York Times did a story on it. They have lotteries for low-income people and people wait as long as ten years now to get a chance at one, he won one. Before that, he had been living at his parents house. , do you still have parents you could move back in with? Sometimes people have to move. Emigration might be an option for others.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 hi Sue - " Ozone Therapy " is a modality (not a product), which encompasses using a medical-grade ozone generator along with protocol (which can be ear insufflation, sauna, vaginal insufflation, rectal insufflation, cupping/funnelling, making ozonated/oxygenated water). if you register at the OzoneTherapy Forums, you or your friend will be able to read the testimonials of ppl who have using it for various chronic illnesses, and also read the questions from *newbies*. the forum owner is also the manufacturer of the generator where i purchased my unit from. Duncan in Texas, http://www.holisticbodyworker.com/ is another good resource for Ozone Therapy. i've only spoken with him once (last year), when i called on behalf of someone who was seeking alternatives for cancer. the 3 things that can be done at home are: 1) Using a steam sauna connected to a medical-grade ozone generator (which is connected to an oxygen tank); Ozone Therapy combined with hyperthermia (steam sauna) is a powerful modality and you will see all the stored toxins being eradicated from your body; normal protocol is 30 minutes daily, but even that may be too much once the rashes and/or oozing begins....so if need be, drop down to a couple of minutes or skip a day or two between sauna sessions (but work your way up to 30 minutes at least 5 days a week, which may take a couple of weeks or months) 2) Using an ear adapter or modified stethoscope connected to the medical-grade ozone generator; this addresses the toxins in the head cavity (i've suffered from brain fog, memory loss, eye infections, hives, mild-grade fevers, allergies, visual light sensitivity--i no longer have any of these symptoms); normal protocol is 5 minutes daily, but once your head cavity starts draining fluid out your ears, do what is tolerable, which could very well be 30 seconds at a time 3) Doing liver flushes/cleanses - this will detox the liver to make your it work more efficiently and help minimize the Herxheimer effects from doing the Ozone Therapy protocols; best liver flush/cleanse protocol is from http://www.sensiblehealth.com . side effects, hmmmm. well when i first started doing ear insufflation, a light-yellow liquid drained from my ears. i thought i was hemorrhaging. i've since realized that the *liquid* had to be toxins 'cause once the draining wasn't as profuse, my memory & ability to concentrate/focus were back. i'm sure i mentioned this in another post, but the evening of my first sauna treatment, i felt like i was coming down with the flu. i clearly expected this, aka Herxheimer Effects. the day after my 2nd sauna treatment, i coughed up a lot of phlegm. i continued coughing up phlegm for a few months after. throughout my sauna treatments & ear insufflations, i'd occasionally have bad sinus drainage days where my nose would run non-stop and i'd have to blow my nose quite a bit. a couple of times, i've started tearing. both those things (runny nose & tears) mean all the baddies are being released. Ozone Therapy is a powerful modality. you can expect to sleep a lot more than usual. perhaps the ickiest part of Ozone Therapy is seeing the rashes and/or pustules. you'll realize how toxic your body is once these start surfacing. once all the stored toxins are eradicated from your body, no more rashes & /or pustules will appear. this could take months...and that's why i highly recommend doing liver flushes/cleanses BEFORE undertaking Ozone Therapy. the key to success is to not let up. don't go too many days between sauna & /or ear insufflation treatments. doing a little bit at regular intervals is better than skipping too many days between treatments. not only have i released a lot of toxins, but there were also unexpected benefits to my recovery: 1) my bowel movements are now regular (throughout my life, i sometimes had problems with constipation), 2) i used to always have cold feet--hardly ever now! 3) even before my mold exposure, i used to have to always have kleenex in my purse for when my nose runs--not anymore and my sinus issues/allergies are gone. > > > , Is " ozone Therapy " the brand name of the medicine you used?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 " Your feet are the gateway to cleanliness " factoids: ...Each foot has 2,000+ pores through which toxins release ...Toxins are believed to accumulate in the feet as they pass through the bloodstream ...Harmful toxins, lymphatic fluids and impurities are drawn in to the foot detox patch ...Our feet have more sweat glands per inch of skin than any other part of the body, and these glands produce sweat all the time, not just when it's hot or when you exercise as other parts of the body do ...In one day, each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat!

Our relationship isn't what it used to be though. This illness has taken way more from me than just my health. Besides his house is no better than the one I am currently in. Like I said I am in a brand new home and the likely hood is that it's better than 90% of the homes out their. Chances are I wouldn't do any better and every move I make brings me closer to being bankrupt and on the street. I think my best hope for salvation is out west in a specialized house made without wood products. That's my goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 There are several volumes of peroxide. After reading the bottle in my kitchen, it says, " DO NOT USE ON LARGE AREAS OF THE BODY. " This is the 3% kind. While one person soaking in peroxide it may not harm, another it can cause serious burning and blisters. When I was a hairstylist, the state law was that we could not apply a peroxide containing product without a skin test first. I have seen people who were so sensitive to the lowest volume of peroxide that the scalp blistered up and the hair fell out at the roots...I am not talking about damaged hair because the hair was not damaged at all by the peroxide containing product, just the scalp due to sensitivity. This was at the hands of careless stylists who did not take time to do a skin test. Peroxide can cause more harm than good. It can cause damage to the skin which will damage your pores. The pores help in eliminating toxins. There is no way I would chance damaging my pores with peroxide. Some folks might be asking for some serious issues in soaking in peroxide. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 , God Bless you bro. I have been sleeping on my moms couch for two years after moving out and leaving everything behind in my last home that was the toxic mold source. I know how you feel trust me. I pray that one day i will be back on my feet again after starting a new treatment next week. I will pray for you as well. robert christ <antares4141@...> wrote: >, do you still have >parents you could move back in with? My dad, he might consider it if I got a job somewhere. Our relationship isn't what it used to be though. This illness has taken way more from me than just my health. Besides his house is no better than the one I am currently in. Like I said I am in a brand new home and the likely hood is that it's better than 90% of the homes out their. Chances are I wouldn't do any better and every move I make brings me closer to being bankrupt and on the street. I think my best hope for salvation is out west in a specialized house made without wood products. That's my goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I know, Jesus washed his disciples feet. Its an ancient custom. But I don't know how much the feet are involved in mycotoxin metabolism, and I don't think anyone has discovered mycotoxins coming out through the skin in high enough amounts to measure. So people are on their own on that. It feels good though, and its definitely good for your stress level. Cholestyramine binds mycotoxins from the bile where they build up. Washing animals feet isn't going to prevent them from dying if they are given cheap food with mycotoxins in it. Cholestyramine does, so their meat can be sold. According to journals on animal husbandry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Smart. I don't know why people do some of these things. Soap and water are safe, assuming the two are clean. Make sure the bathtub is super clean too. Bathrooms can harbor lots of bacteria if they aren't cleaned regularly. Esp. if the building is chronically damp or moldy. Many people soak in " epsom salts " which is like a mineral bath. Make sure to read the label on the box and bottle and follow it. Peroxide and/or ammonia? NO THANKS...
