RE: food allergies and crawl space

[Guest guest]

IMHO, all spaces, attics, crawls, etc should be completely tight, and sealed,

and conditioned. It is done regularly without fail. However, it's all in the

details. The contractor/builders who provide a cheap imitation generally end up

with water, rot, biological growth, and poor ventilation of the living space.

The climate does not dictate whether we can or not seal an attic. All attics

everywhere can be tightly and completely sealed and treated. This is not

regarding cost of construction or remodel, of course.

I've learned over the years (with this illness)

that stress,anixity,anger,sadness at a certain level can diffenitly

aggervate my condition. knowing when to walk away and maybe do some yoga

,rest,forget it all for a while, is important.

learning how to let go (in the moment) is a art,but with this illness it's very

important to do. the damage I suffered to my brain has also played a role here,

my emotions seem to have been dulled to some extent or just take a higher level

to get activated, but when they do, it isn't good, getting highly excited now,

weither it's in any forms of these emotions can make me fell quite ill,very

quickly.

Welcome to the group. I know I have already replied to some of your other

posts, I'm going backward through my inbox, ha.

I really enjoyed this post of yours. And I know what you mean about having to

be careful about the amount of detoxing you do. I too have to be very careful

or it can get dangerous for me.

Thanks for the complement about most in the group knowing more about their

health than most doctors. I think it is true!

Hello!

I just joined the group and am both excited and saddened to read all the posts.

Excited to learn more about mold and saddened to hear about how so many people

have been suffering from mold exposure.

Before you really get up my nose, would you mind introducing yourself and your

credentials. You are definitely giving a lot of medical advice, but do not seem

to know much about our illness. So what gives?

Einhorm: May I suggest to you, if you are genuinely here to help us, that

you get rid of your condescending nature as soon as possible. I am quite certain

others will agree with me here. Thank you. Diane

karen, i assume you're asking scott and not me. just checking because i started

this subject.

scott, are you a health care practitioner. if so, what do you do? have you been

effected by mold or are you just a kind soul that is trying to help others?

thank you to all who welcomed me to the group!

being a MD and not being able to diagnose my own condition for 2 years, as well

as the fact that i consulted with many specialist none of whom had any idea the

cause of my symptoms, is a sign regarding how little the average health care

practitioner knows about mold. it's a very unfortunate situation, because so

many people are walking about with mold related problems and they most often get

told that it's all in their mind. i find it to be so damaging to be told from a

doctor that we manufactured symptoms. i'm glad that everyone in this group has

found the cause of their illness and are finding ways to regain their health.
