Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow, this is a hard one. Mold removal is really hard especially for us. Once you disturb it, it tends to grow & spread so it is really hard. Even the so called professionals mess this up all the time. She should get some bids and find out how they actually handle this & make the best decision she can make on it. I was initially injurred by mold in my work building & have severe damage now due to the inept removal of the mold in this biulding. It spread & was really bad. Dr Gray in Bensen is a well known well respected mold specialists/toxicalolgist. He may be able to give some guidelines. He's my doctor. If she has had the mold for a long time & didn't know it, it very well could be the cause of her ES. She can contact me if she wants to.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 What am I doing up in the middle of night? Who knows, it's been a strange week. I don't how much mold there is, but I have heard of people using Thieves essential oil (by Young Living if you need a quality source), and dispersing that with the ?nebulizer things that are sold for that. Trying to remember just where this came from. Local radio show, but was it a local person, or elsewhere, I can't recall. Anyway, the oils in them are suppose to destroy the mold, and even if the infestation is heavy, dispersing this in the air may bring good relief in the meantime. I have a lot of chemical and natural allergies, but very few reactions to the pure oils. So if chemicals are a big problem, oil purity is extra important, some, just like cooking oils, are extracted with hexane or other chemicals. Aromaland.com has some good quality organic essential oils, I'm not sure if all the ones needed to make up the Thieves blend. Young Living does have it already made up however. BTW, all the oils have their own frequencies as well, maybe someone with a meter could experiment and see if there seem to be any protective ones? Pure rose oil is suppose to be the highest, don't remember the frequency though. Extra pricey!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 hi, Snoshoe and , wanted to thank you, Snoshoe, for recommending taurine to use along w the manganese! yes, it works better. bless you! i may have mentioned using thieves oil--have to use pure oils--yes! i was told to try an ozone machine by dr. Rae's staff (i think they recommended it for pesticides and mold) and a peroxide generator by a building biologist for mold. i reacted badly to both of those--couldn't use either while present and ozone bothered me also after. the peroxide machine not so much. the blding bio offered a peroxide generator free to try, for only cost of postage. i finally got a good nebuliaer to put thieves oil into the air and that helped much more. the ozone and perroxide do work for particular molds. i had asthma from them. i really liked the thieves oil but that doesn't mean all w mcs will do ok on it. it must be pure essential oils. it is a mix of cinnamon, cloves,...i forget--7 oils i think. also important to keep humidity down to below 35 " %. this alone will kill mold but remember you can react to dead mold too--must also clean. better to have someone else chlorox walls, etc, and then use dehumidifiers if possible. di From: snoshoe_2 <snoshoe_2@...> Subject: Re: mold removal Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 2:36 AM What am I doing up in the middle of night?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 ps--if chlorox is used it will need several rinses--but i think you initaially have to leave it on 20 to 30 mins. the chlorox seems to disipate after several days, but also you can't be present during that time From: snoshoe_2 <snoshoe_2 (DOT) com> Subject: Re: mold removal groups (DOT) com Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 2:36 AM What am I doing up in the middle of night?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have been trying to remove mold and decided to move. The book related to mold control on a budget is good. The first think you can do is buy the best furnace filter available at the local stores. Whenever you change filters have a garbage bag right there to inclose it, wear a face mask and googles that fit tight around your eyes. They explain what kind of face mask from the hardware store. Also i suggest a hat since dust can get in your hair and when you take the mask off it can be stirred up and breath it. I willget undressed in front of the washing machine and don't take my mask amd goggles off until i am in the shower. When you change vacuum cleaner bags be fully protected, too. This is the most intense exposure to dust and i went poking through a bag looking for a ring and got it in my eyes and it damage my skin. I had on a mask but no goggles or hat. Some people us a drug called chloresteroline or something like that, spelling? I am trying a supplement from Young Living, something Defense. Also their oil for liver detox. I can't get up to look, i have to deal with so many things, gotta go... > get a pro or read this: > http://www.mold-control-on-a-budget.com/ > > On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 6:30 AM, Mumper <zil_mumper@...>wrote: > > > > > > > Hi Everyone, > > I recently met a girl who is chemically sensitive and needs to have mold > > removed from her home.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Does anyone know if simply throwing pure Borax powder (boric acid) on black mold will do the trick? (There's some in the shower between the tiles in the corner). I don't know if it's the really bad kind of black mold, but I'm sure it's probably better off not being there. I've heard Borax will kill mold and help prevent its return; my concern is if it will send the mold into " panic mode " and get it releasing spores like crazy to ensure its survival. Ack!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Borax and Boric Acid are not the same thing, but they are family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid The first is used in cleaning, the second in pestcontrol.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Dang. We're going to do the bathroom anyway, it just comes down to when we can afford it. Hopefully in the meantime, it won't be too problematic.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have alittle bit of mold on the sheetrock in my bathroom, up over the shower, I read that tea tree oil & water sprayed on mold & left there for a day or so will get rid of the mold, has anyone tried that & did it work? Once I spray it on, how long should I wait before showering, etc. or is that not a problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
