Re:s Hopkins U, Mold Myths, Health Alert aka Litigation Defense P

[Guest guest]

This statement:

" Mold and Sinusitis. There´s no clear-cut evidence that sensitivity to mold

causes chronic sinusitis, nor are there conclusive data to show that

mold-killing antifungal drugs such as amphotericin, applied to the nasal

passages, are

an effective treatment for sinusitis. "

Didn't the Mayo Clinic come out with a report that showed most sinusitis to

be fungal? Maybe we should send a copy to s Hopkins.

" Mold and Infection. Superficial fungal infections, such as toenail fungus

or

jock itch, generally result from fungi that develop inside the warm, moist

environments found in shoes or tight garments. Thrush can develop inside the

mouths of people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have AIDS

or

cancer. These infections generally are not the result of exposure to mold in

the home or workplace. "

This statement about thrush is unreal. Many babies get thrush. Just more

ignorance and arrogance.

I think I need to go scream.

So why do you Mayo Clinic is being so inconsistent about this?

Why do you think Mayo Clinic is being inconsistent about fungus/mold

and chronic sinusitis?

I went to a traditional allergist who told me that the Mayo Clinic's

report was proven false. I said show me the research...never happened.

I told him that Nizoral antifungal spray for three years healed my

chronic infectious sinusitus. So the proof is in the pudding for me!

They all know so little about fungal sinusitis. It doesn't surprise

me even though it's the Mayo.

" So the proof is in the pudding for me! "

Yes and I researched it myself when I knew I'd breathed in mold spores

and thought I was going to die. And it fit perfectly that I'd inhaled

these mold spores from opening boxes in my attic (which I knew

contained toxic mold). But it took a few doctors before they would

okay my trying Diflucan. After two weeks, I was all better.

when I went to the mayo clinic the first thing they said is " we cant

diagnose toxic mold illness and we wint get dragged to court over it "

than they said " but we think you should have all the testing done to

check for cancers "

now it's strange that they had me me contain any mucus they could get

yet I never seem any testing results from what they took from my

sinuses or lungs. and it now seems to me that they very obviuoely

avoided any testing that may have detected molds. oh, they diagnosed

asthma and chronic sinusitis/rhinosinusitis but in the report they

simply wrote that while some of the things they found could be caused

by mold exposure they didn't think they all could be. funny because

everthing they found was exactly what what was listed on a list of

illnesses caused by toxic mold exposure from mold-surviver.org.

everything except the last one,death.

So they'd be ready to treat you if it was cancer but not toxic mold

inhalation? They wouldn't even try an anti-fungal medication I

suppose? So what help are they then? Just more " sheep " in my book.

I, too, am a MAYO victim. Spent $14,000.00 on test and still don't know what

many of

them are. I tried to show them photos of my house and the mold. The allergist

I saw was

horrible, just horrible. He seems to think that cigarette smoking is the root

of all evil.

EVERYTHING in his opinion is caused by cigarette smoke. Then he proceeded to

call me a

nose picker. My sinuses are inflammed, but he refused to think of anything

except smoke.

I smelled mold in their building in ville, the second floor REEKS of it.

They, as most other facilities, have no idea what to do with you. They just

want your

money and herd you out. It's political. Other research funds will get yanked

if they dig

into the mold issue.

The government (and their main llobbyists, insurance companies), does NOT want

the

severity of mold sickness to get out, period. That is why we are all going

through this. It's

an insult to all citizens of America and a display on who really controls this

country.

I would like to vomit in all their faces.

well, if you want to pay them for poor service it's up to you. get my

drift? rodchester is where I went. of corse that was in 2003 so maybe

somethings changed. beware their building is sick or was sick when I

was there. did you go there for toxic mold illness, did they address

that? did they reciew any medical ecidence you had related to that?

was condictions they found,linable to toxoc mold illness? maybe send

records that they didn't review that pertains to your exposure and a

few good articles on symptoms and illnesses cause by exposure. worth

a try. if you set up the visit thinking you were going to get

diagnoses and treatment for mold exposure and you got the assembly

line look for cancer protocall instead, I'd complain about it. if

their not going to address what you went there for and they set up

the appointment knowing full well that they weren't going to address

it than I'd be nakeing a complaint.
