(http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/12621/) Black mold and its

toxic properties have been a serious health risk for centuries. It surfaces in

homes where wet conditions and humidity fester, producing the conditions for

its persistent growth.

Insurance companies, landlords, real estate agents, and others have often

denied its devastating health effects. As a result, procedures provided to

clean or medically identify mold exposure are often inadequate. The health

problems vary with the exposure and can lead to long term problems or in some

cases

death. Black mold presents a quandary of international proportions. However

it is not a new problem, as evidenced in a quote from Leviticus 14:39-47:

" On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the

mildew has spread on the walls, he is to order that the contaminated

stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town. If

the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out

and the house is scraped and plastered, it is a destructive mildew and

the house is unclean. It must be torn down - its stones, timbers and all

the plaster - and taken out of town. "

So the black mold scourge has been known and dealt with since biblical

times.

As black mold is a naturally occurring growth in nature the research

available to the public is often small and conflicting. The Illinois Department

of

Health states black mold is Trichothecene mycotoxin (T-2) and is a naturally

occurring poison produced by fungi. According to a report from the U.S. Army

on " Biowarfare Research and How it Impacts Mold Illness, " it states, " Molds

produce neurotoxic substances. Most people are familiar with poisons from a

black widow spider or scorpion - mold neurotoxins are very similar. The most

toxic neurotoxins from mold are called trichothecenes; they are known to be

neurotoxic and are produced by more than 60 molds, especially the common indoor

molds Stachybotyrs, Fusarium, and

Trichoderma. " ttp://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/12621/

Here is the link to the U.S. Army manual chapter, on Trichothecene

Mycotoxins, that was mentioned in the Epoch Times article on mold.

They say that the " yellow rain " poison, used during the war in

Cambodia and Laos, as a " deforestation " method, was actually

Trichothecene Mycotoxins. Lots of info on what works, as a cure and

preventative, ON RATS.
