Seems like the Close family is searching the internet to find out where they

can distribute " their miracle mold remedy " . How sad they feel the need to

prey on innocent people who have already lost so much!!

,

Unless you can make a home 100% safe for a previously exposed individual to live

in, you should never suggest releasing essential oils will be the " remedy " to

your mold problems. I only pray that you never have to live through the

nightmare of losing your home and all of your belongings due to toxic mold.

Therefore my closing comment to you on this matter is please be diligent on

securing and confirming all of your facts regarding hyphae,mold and mycotoxins

before you make promises you cannot keep and you end up harming more than

helping!!
