Re: Acute phase mold illness reaction-what have you done?

October 19, 2009

When your doctor called your initial reaction the " acute phase " , he was talking

in terms of an allergy/asthma reaction. If, in fact, that is what you were

experiencing, then you certainly will feel much better, now that you have thrown

out the primary source of your mold, the air handler.

But, if ANY part of your mold reaction was a " toxic " reaction, and not solely

an allergic/asthmatic reaction, your doctor is " clueless " as to the illness

progression, and prognosis, of that type of reaction, since he was never taught

the basics of that reaction, in medical school. And, never having been taught,

he will resort to the smokescreen that most doctors use, and tell you that

" there is no such thing as a toxic (non-allergic)mold reaction " .

Based on MY experience, and the experiences of others on this board, here is my

prognosis of your mold reaction, if ANY part of that reaction is a " toxic "

reaction. It is a partial reprint of a previous post of mine.

Here is the mathematical reason that you have no other choice, [other than

leaving your home] in order to keep yourself alive. You probably are thinking

that getting rid of 90 percent of your mold, will lower your degree of illness

by 90 percent. That is NOT the way our bodies work, in relation to toxic mold

reaction. What REALLY happens, is that you will experience a brief period of

improved health, until your body adjusts to the new reduced amount of mold in

your home. Then, contrary to logic, your body will experience the SAME degree of

illness and misery, that it experienced during the original mold exposure, which

was ten times greater than the new reduced level of mold exposure. Then, if you

reduce the amount of mold by a further 90 percent from your " then-current "

level, bringing the mold level down to only ONE PERCENT of the original mold

level, you will experience another brief period of improved health, until your

body adjusts to this extremely

low level of mold, at which point your body will return to the same level of

misery as it experienced at the original mold level, which was ONE HUNDRED times

greater than the current mold level.

Here is the math: 100 percent mold exposure = 100 percent reaction; 10 percent

mold exposure = 100 percent reaction; one percent mold exposure = 100 percent

reaction

When you speak with most doctors, they will say that " mold allergy " is always

equal to the quantity of mold you are exposed to. They are correct. But, they

are also uneducated morons, when it comes to " toxic mold " . Toxic mold reativity

is NOT " dose-related " . For the rest of your life, and MY life, we will always

react, intensely, to ever-decreasing amounts of mold exposure.

I have been this blunt, with you, as I don't want you to DIE from mold exposure,

as my father died, last year. My father's death was a " wake-up call " for me, in
