Cholestyramine and the 'unmasking' of symptoms - widespread positive implications to public health and understanding of mold illness' sources

[Guest guest]

Okay, I am thinking out loud here and this may not be so well articulated..

BUT, one of the benefits that I have noticed from cholestyramine is

what people sometimes call unmasking and I think

THAT is the reason why the use of it seems so POLITICALLY threatening to

some. That unmasking also means that people start figuring out where

their exposures are coming from..

I have seen this change happen again in reverse when I got re-exposed

for various reasons..

Also, the duration of the effect mold exposures has on people is

shortened.. What might have made someone really sick for a week or

two, still makes them really sick, (maybe sicker, sometimes its more

dramatic/quicker onset) but in the final analysis, the duration is

MUCH shorter. SO THEY RECOGNIZE THE SOURCE WHEN BEFORE THEY ALL WOULD

BE BLENDED TOGETHER.

Why does this apply to the fear of cholestyramine in the naysayer

community? Because they know that once a lot of people who have these

issues start taking cholestyramine, and reducing these toxins in their

body - a lot of people will start realizing not only that they have

been there sometiimes for years, but also many will figure out where

their exposures are coming from much more quickly.. their 'masking'

will be turned off and they will get faster or in some cases almost

immediate responses to new exposures..

For example, someone who gets exposure at work will figure that out..

and they might start telling other people, who start figuring it

out..too..

See what I am getting at?

This terrifies them... They don't have a PR remedy for it.

No amount of money spent on 'reputation management' or doubt-spreading

will remove the understanding of this from people who have experienced

it for themselves.
