Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm the woman who is now homeless from mycotoxin cross-contamination. I'm in a hotel room with my 9 month old baby (I have MCS so this is NOT easy in a hotel, especially not with a baby, too). Thank you to everyone who responded to the last post about vacating. I have CSM left over from my last mold detoxing. I am breastfeeding but wonder, if I stop breastfeeding, and I take the CSM again, do you think it would help me tolerate low levels of the mycotoxins in our home -- again, this was a CROSS-CONTAMINATION (eg I brought in stuff that was from a toxic mold house after I went into the house with my baby) -- so we're not dealing with an original mold source, however, I'm so acutely sensitive that the smallest amounts made it so I can't tolerate our home now (or car or clothes that were all washed with the outfit I wore in that mold house) I can't find a safe place to live after searching daily - b/c of the MCS - and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to make me less sensitive...somehow. Yes, we've cleaned and all that... Thanks Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Jill, Sorry to hear about your homeless situation and all that has been lost. Trust me ive been there myself. Yes you can use the CSM for any levels of toxic mold. In fact its probably a good idea.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sue I can always depend on you... thank you :-) BTW I received your mail and your right it was confusing. I desperately need to recover from this and because the weather's been really nice the past 2 days so I've been going for long walks at a killer pace. Yesterday I dont know how many miles I walked but I was gone for an hour and half today it wont be as long only because I don't have any place to really go. <shrug> Thanks again > > Hi Dave, > > That's pretty much my understanding, keep meds & supplements 2 hours > away from CSM before and after...and I agree, info on the web about this > is confusing, but my son's doc's instructions were 2 hrs each direction, > now depending on the medications you are taking, your doctor may give > you other instructions, ask your doc too. sue v. > > >I need some clarification on cholestyramine > > > >I read on one site that I should wait 2 hours AFTER taking CSM to take > >my medications/supplements and this morning while I was doing some > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have always waited about 1/2 hr. to an hr. after taking CSM to eat or take other meds. I also use Milk of Magnesia every night which helped the constipation. A little bit of heartburn at first but not any longer. Good luck. Sue R. Re: CSM Protocol Posted by: Sun Jan 20, 2008 3:34 pm (PST) Here is the CSM protocol I received from Dr. Shoemaker in April 2007: 1. On an empty stomach, take one scoop of CSM (9 grams), mix with water, or juice, 4-6 oz 2. Stir well and swallow. Add more liquid, repeat 1 above until done. 3. Drink an extra 4-6 oz of liquid 4. After 30 minutes, you may eat or take meds (wait at least 2 hours before taking thyroxine, digitalis, theophylline, coumadin and others, ask your doctor for information) 5. Take CSM 4 times a day! 6. If you eat first, wait at least 60 minutes before taking your next CSM 7. Reflux, constipation, bloating and bowel distress are to be expected 8. Use acid blocking medications as needed 9. Use sorbitol, 70% solutions, 1 TBSP 3-4 times a day to relieve constipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes, another kind of fiber that helps w/constipation, I agree, if it's working for you maybe that is all you need.... sue >sue, have your tried psyllium whole husks? it's a colon cleanser and it >works pretty good > > >> >> I have always waited about 1/2 hr. to an hr. after taking CSM to eat or >> take other meds.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 CSM Protocol from Dr.Shoemaker that I have used since Dec. 2003. I followed the directions to the letter and never had a problem. I took mine doses about 4 to 5 hrs. apart. I would mix it in a jar before going to bed and have an extra container of water. Set the alarm for about 6am for the 1st dose, than about 10 or 11 AM, then 4 or 5PM & dinner about 6PM. Final dose was about 8 or 9PM. Any meds for night time I would take 1/2 hr. or hr. later. I only take it twice a day now but I NEVER missed a dose and it worked wonders for me. Hope this helps. Any other questions feel free to ask!! Sue R. 1. On an empty stomach, take one scoop of CSM (9 grams), mix with water, or juice, 4-6 oz 2. Stir well and swallow. Add more liquid, repeat 1 above until done. 3. Drink an extra 4-6 oz of liquid 4.

Use sorbitol, 70% solutions, 1 TBSP 3-4 times a day to relieve constipation Hi Dave, That's pretty much my understanding, keep meds & supplements 2 hours away from CSM before and after...and I agree, info on the web about this is confusing, but my son's doc's instructions were 2 hrs each direction, now depending on the medications you are taking, your doctor may give you other instructions, ask your doc too. sue v. >I need some clarification on cholestyramine > >I read on one site that I should wait 2 hours AFTER taking CSM to take >my medications/my medications/<WBR>supplements and this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
