This site is a good place to start http://www.enzymestuff.com/ I use these enzymes http://www.houstonni.com/ We > tried GFCF and it seemed to help but lately haven't been too strict > on that. He does seem to have an intolerance for dairy proudcts so > he drinks soy and has not had any dairy products in almost a year. The chemical composition of soy is very similar to milk. Try removing soy [or use Peptizyde or AFP Peptizyde enzyme from HNI, link above] and see if that helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Soy out, out, out. My friend Ania (also Canada) STOPPED her child's seizures on the SCD... Seizures veryday... to NONE. This is after 2 drugs and trying the ketogenic diet (which made her daugher worse). Go for the SCD and enzymes. Ania uses the yogurt... she makes it with the Yogurtmet starter (as a non-dairy goat starter is not available in Canada YET). Habers Pharmacy (Toronto) should be carrying it in a few weeks. See Pecanbread.com for info on the SCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I had professional mold tester come into my home and take a swab sample and send it in to a lab to test it for species identification to determine if it was toxic mold or not. The total i paid was $200 including lab results. Just a thought. Have you tried any medication yet? Also be carefull not to cross contaminate your new dwellings as your old furniture will have the toxic mold spores on it. I believe my apartment has mold contamination and is making my 3y.o. daughter and myself sick. I have been trying to figure out what to do next?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you have already been through it before, then you are sensitized to it, and your bodies are going to be like barometers in detecting it. It may or may not be mold. You could be more sensitive to other things now also, caused by the mold originally, but if you see it, smell it, or are having chronic, long term symptoms just like you did with your first exposure, then I would try to come up with the money to test with the minimum amount of testing possible, just to identify types of mold in air. You can find a reputable company to do the air testing for $200-300 or even less. It won't be extensive, but it will give you an idea of what you're breathing in. If you cannot come up with the money, try to borrow it, or do what you can to get it. If you cannot, I would still suggest trying the store bought tests. You can get them at Home Depot. Try taking air samples from the rooms you both spend the most time in (probably bedrooms), if you cannot see any mold. It will not tell you everything that you may need, but it may identify if there are any " toxic " molds in your air. It will be a lot cheaper, less than $100 ( I think it's $10 for test and $80 for lab) with lab fee, and you'll hopefully know whether it is worth uprooting your family again, and enduring the stress and money it costs to find another home. Mold exposure can cause you to be chemically sensitive also. Don't get me wrong! If you know you have a mold problem, then get out right away! But if you aren't sure if it's mold or not, I wouldn't run away and leave everything. If you are already sick from previous mold exposure, many things in your home could be setting off your symptoms, household cleaners, carpet fiber, mattress chemicals, regular airborne allergies, even foods. So leaving everything in a panic could cause you a lot more stress and pain than necessary, and you may find out that the problem is something more simple and it could keep following you from home to home if you don't identify it properly. What I'm saying is, we are so traumatized, as mold survivors, that our first instinct is to run when even the possibility of mold surfaces, but as with anything, panic can cause tragic results. And if you don't find the root of the problem, you can never fix it. Now, that said, if you do find that (toxic) mold is the culprit, get out! Leave most of your things, and don't look back!!! Clear enough??? Many of us did hesitate, even once we found out that we had a mold problem, and many of us now suffer unnecessary symptoms and more permanent damage because of our taking too long to decide to get out. Some of us had good reasons, fear, lack of money or no place to go, but most of us regret having not gotten out as soon as we knew there was a problem. (A mold problem) So do not hesitate. If there is mold, and you know that it is not a less dangerous type, that can easily be re mediated, then don't mess around. If you owned the house I would say it would be worth the effort to find out how bad the problem was, and how much it would cost to remediate because it could cost you a lot more to try to sell the house, and have to disclose the mold to potential buyers. You may not even be able to sell the house, without having it remediated. But if you are renting, it's not worth the aggravation, stress, and trying to live under a difficult landlords roof. But either scenario, if you know it's mold, I would recommend trying to find family or friends to stay with while you either remediate and/or sell the house, or find a new place to rent. Do not try to live there while you are making the proper choices. We did, and it made all of us much more worse than if we had moved out right away. Many of us are still suffering the consequences of our choice to stay too long, 10, 15, 20 years after the fact. Don't risk your childs, and your health for any reason. If you know it's bad mold, get out first, then decide what to do next. Good luck. I will pray for you. > > I believe my apartment has mold contamination and is making my 3y.o. > daughter and myself sick. I have been trying to figure out what to do > next?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 >I just wanted to emphasize that it sometimes sounds like we are being oh so hysterical telling people to " get out now and get out fast " but It's really true. I hesitated almost a year trying to decide whether it was " worth the expense " (can you believe it?) to remediate. The whole time I was in total denial and of course got sicker. Finally I was so sick I just gutted the area and threw everything out in a hysterical angry-that-I-waited-too-long moment. Please think about this-the urge to hesitate and rethink is so human and natural but consider how you feel now and how you will feel tomorrow or the next month if nothing is done. I guarantee you will feel worse. Just so this doesn't sound like all gloom and doom, I did remediate and now, 3 years later, I am so much better and able to live in my house again. Thank god!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I truly appreciate your intuitive and thoughtful reply. I will do just what you have suggested. I actually have ordered the type of test that you swab but I am thinking air samples are better. You are great!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 >You are lucky that your boyfriend is so understanding-my husband basically thought I was crazy and still does but in his defense he went along with all the remediation and throwing out of stuff. My health is so so much better now. There was a time when being in my house made me cry and experience panic attacks and hurt my eyes and my lungs. But I successfully remediated-the tests come up almost spotless. My health took a long time to recover though. Its been almost a year since I cleaned up and just the past 6 months have been pain free-I used to have to wear a mask over my eyes in my own house but now I don't. The brain fog is much better and in general I seem pretty normal! I also treated myself with vitamins and liquid chlorophyl, raw food for cleansing, juice fasts and something called Jin Shin which is energy work (email me if you'd like some more info-not everyone is into this kind of stuff but I swear by it.) All of it helped alot. The only thing now is not getting exposed again. That is probably going to be a lifelong problem for all of us now I think. Some weeks go by and I'm great and then I make a trip to Costco in the morning when they wash the floors with some kind of toxic monster chemical cleaner and I'm in bed for the rest of the day. It's tough and you have to be smart and cautious (I should have walked out of Costco the minute I smelled the cleaner but I didn't) but at the same time not afraid to get out there. > I completely understand I have been rethinking it...but thank god I have a wonderful boyfriend who is letting us stay at his house until we figure out what we are doing next...I want to at least take the tests to confirm my notions and yes, it is difficult because people who haven't experienced it think you are nuts...but if you feel sick, you are sick.....is your health better now that you remediated??? or do you have long term effects? > > Valenzuela > > > >> > > From: surellabaer@... > Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 17:14:16 +0000 > Subject: [] Re: Where to start?? > > >I just wanted to emphasize that it sometimes sounds like we are being oh so hysterical telling people to " get out now and get out fast " but It's really true. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
