Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi Deb, Try Dr. Shoemaker. He has a website here http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com/info/meetus.cfm He treats Lyme disease and Toxic Mold exposure with the same medication. Its called CSM (cholestyramine). He has had some tremendous results with this medication. Im not a Doctor but it sounds like its just what your son needs. I have taken CSM due to my mold exposure and it has worked wonders for me no doubt. Ok God Bless Elias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Having Lyme and mold problems myself-I feel moved to share this with you: the symptoms of headache and vision problems sound like Babesia-a coinfection of Lyme. Has your son been tested? I had Babesia also, and had the same symptoms, which kicked up when I was treated. My doctor treated the Babesia first, because he said you can't get rid of Lyme without treating the coinfections first. Don't know if he was correct or not. As for his sensitivities, it is possible that as the infection was being killed off, his liver got overloaded and any sensitivities, known or unknown, became worse because his body cant get rid of the toxins fast enough. This is my experience to this day-I have to take killing things or detoxing very slow... Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Our son had much the same reactions as your son after mold injury. There are a few good docs around - many on this board like Shoemaker in land, we went to in Houston and have seen Gray in AZ. put our son on IVIG and his eye problems (and many other neurological problems)have healed. He was 10 at the time of his injury - it was a long haul back because of the extensive neurological & immunological injury but I'd say he's 80-85% recovered. Stamina & fatigue are still a struggle. Gray's approach is a bit of Marinkovich, a bit of , a bit of Shoemaker and a bit of his own approach. Our son is 20 now - when he was 10 I was afraid he'd never make it this far. Good luck- Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi again folks, Thanks very much for all your kind responses. I have been desperately depressed trying to figure out what is triggering these episodes and to alleviate them. My son's (Lyme) doctor had been pondering cholestyramine at one point, but we never pursued it because there was always another emergency to treat ... and his symptoms change in a whack-a-mole kind of manner. I'll bring this up with her again. I think his detoxification pathways probably are very stressed and the latest medication he was taking - ceftin + septra - seemed to have tipped him over the edge. Besides this medication for aiding in the neurotoxin absorption, would any of you be willing to share any other treatments that you or your family members used that were helpful? Interestingly, I am positive for Babesia (and am being treated), but my son never had a positive titre for this. He has recently had another (IGenex) Western Blot, CD57, and coinfection panel done, and I will be interested to see if they have changed since his removal from the moldy room. His panels have been very static throughout the last year of treatment. Thanks again, everyone, and if you have an specifics regarding your successful treatments and would be willing to correspond, feel free to send me email.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi Deb, I can't seem to e-mail you off line. As I mentioned earlier my duaghter is going through treament. Not a Dr but it sounds like your son is colonized with mold and he's becoming hyperreactive to it. You mentioned you replaced a wall? Did you throw out everything else that was exposed?? You need to make sure he's in a clean enviroment and remove all things with scents, chemicals, all of them. the more reactions he has the more damage he could be done to his brain and a few other important organs. what ever he is reacting to I would be very careful if you know hes reacting to it get rid of it.
