Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I just dont like it when someone puts this all off on genetics,I just dont believe that. to me there is a big difference in the dose it might take with someone with these bad HLA's to get sick and what a very contaminated WDB exposure can do. there is a difference in getting a dose that your body cant deal with because of genetics and getting a dose that just distroys your mucus lineings and causes severe,basicly all organ damage. yes, I have one of these bad HLA genes, yes it probably played a role in why I had pretty immeditae illness in my first home when the mold problem first started after the roof started leaking, but in my second home exposure I dont see where genetics even had a chance to come into play. it was exposure to a high amount, it distroyed my protective lineings in my nose,airways,stomach,ect. my pee turned green, I passed globs of multicolored (what looked like afterbirth). theres just a difference here and I think it should be reconized. it's not all about genetics. I think every disease has been blamed on genetics at one point, now we are learning that environment plays a role in many of these diseases. and damn, this is a environmental diseases! now we can talk about diseases and genetics and the small role that environment might play is disease, or we can talk about high dose toxin exposure and what damage that does to your system. 2 different stories. anybody getting my point? now,I have nothing against Shoemaker, he's done great work. but not all WDB exposures are the same, not all are low to moderate dose where genetics play a role, some are just plain high dose,tear you apart,toxin exposures that do alot of physical damage to your insides and leave you with more to deal with than the norm. some of them kill, thats not genetics at work, thats the toxin overload, thats the shuting down of major organs, that a dose that makes genetics unimportant and you better hope and pray your organs get through it and hang in there. and heres the problem that I see, you limit these exposures to genetics and you limit your knowledge on just what can happen in the way of physical damage to multiple organs and just how much damage can accure. you limit yourself into not seeing beyound the immune system. there is a point wear genetics no longer matter with these exposures, this is about other bodily functions doing their jobs, this is about the mucus system not being able to keep up, this is about protective lineings getting distroyed, this is about liver,kidney and bladder disfunction because of overload, this is the physical damage side that really makes genetics take a back seat here. and I have read enough on this to know that there is a point where it's not about genetics anymore and is about a overdose of toxins that do major organ damage. when I say my second home literally tore my insides up, thats what I mean, no amount of great genetics could have stopped that, I'd would had to of just been one big ball of snot to catch all that I breathed in and passed it safely with no damage accureing. forget about the immune system and genetics for a minute and consider atual toxin contact to your inside lineings, if you dont think that can do some major damage in high dose situations,your wrong, once it gets to much for the mucus system to handle,physical damage accures,and if you know how even the mucus system can be damaged and what can happen by the nasal route you can see how this can play out. there was nothing genetic about the raw burning effects to my nose,in my sinuses,stomach,gi tract,ect. and this did lead to miningitis and brain swelling and CSF leaks that caused more burning along these routes. for years afterward everytime I got around a chemical not only did I have chemical reaction but my liver would start hurting in the same exact spot,everytime. just like brain fog is for beginners,so to say, you could also say that bad HLA genes is also for beginners. because at the right dose it just goes beyond this. sorry but I have a problem with diseases always getting blamed on genetics, exspecially a environmental disease! > > Toxic Black Mold Syndrome > > > does anyone know about Dr. Vaughan or where she is located? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Jeanine, You always make a lot of sense to me. I think there is a genetic component to this that causes some to be more susceptable - along with the state of one's immune system. Like babies are found to be susceptible because their immune systems are developed; or someone who has just had some sort of surgery and a big ole wound would be more likely to get this stuff in their system if exposed. I think where the genetic component really comes into play is that there are those who can't rid their body of the toxins as easily as others can. But as the saying goes, " dose makes the poison " . And it seems to me that at some point - I don't care whose your daddy - too much of this stuff will make you seriously sick. I don't think they weaponized tricothocenes with the intent of harming 25 percent of a military populations. I think that is a dose meant to harm everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I dont like it because it is so limiting and I wouldn't go to this doctor after seeing this. if her knowledge goes deeper she should of let it be known. the last thing we need is for this disease to become all about takeing a few genetic tests. > > > > Toxic Black Mold Syndrome > > > > > > does anyone know about Dr. Vaughan or where she is located? > > > > > I posted this just to let people see that this is at the very least being talked about on main stream media in some areas because here in CA. they still won't accept that mold even makes you sick, except for a few allergies or maybe some asthma symptoms.... at least some of the info. about toxic mold was able to get out to the masses and they only gave the Dr. a 5min segment...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I think the video was great. While there, look at the other videos on the menu. One is Ritchie Shoemaker. He mentions that 24% of the population that has a gene making them more susceptible to severe effects. I don't think anyone can deny that genetics plays some part in how any given person will react to a particular situation. But we must also remember that excess humidity will breed enough bioaerosol that almost anyone will eventually develop some type of problem given sufficient exposure time. Building maintenance is essential for occupant health.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm just not sure what to think about the HLA genes involvement in this, what about mycotoxins causeing immunosuppression? I just remember that I had questions about immunosuppression and how that interfers with antigen presentation. > > Jeanine, > > You always make a lot of sense to me.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 but the point i made in another post was that the doctor only got a 5 minut segment to cram in as much info. as possible.... that's just the way tv works; you are only alotted a certain amount of minutes broken down into segments and apparently she only got 1 5 minute segment, so for that the majority of info. that was able to be talked about, she hit a lot of key points for those who are naive to toxic mold exposure > > > > > > > > Toxic Black Mold Syndrome > > > > > > > > > does anyone know about Dr. Vaughan or where she is located? > > > > > > > > > I posted this just to let people see that this is at the very least being talked about on main stream media in some areas because here in CA. they still won't accept that mold even makes you sick, except for a few allergies or maybe some asthma symptoms.... at least some of the info. about toxic mold was able to get out to the masses and they only gave the Dr. a 5min segment...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I understand that, I'm looking at it through the publics eyes, I just dont think the genetic involvement is the big factor here and maybe it could have been stated a little differently. > > > > > > > > Toxic Black Mold Syndrome > > > > > > > > > > > > does anyone know about Dr. Vaughan or where she is located? > > > > > > > > > > > > > I posted this just to let people see that this is at the very least being talked about on main stream media in some areas because here in CA. they still won't accept that mold even makes you sick, except for a few allergies or maybe some asthma symptoms.... at least some of the info. about toxic mold was able to get out to the masses and they only gave the Dr. a 5min segment...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I just watched it again and I really didn't like it at all. the term black mold just shouldn't be used, people who see different colored mold will assume it's harmless. for another thing , she clearly puts a hudge importance on the HLA'S. did you know that DC dentric cells also present antigens? and from what I gathered may be even more of a factor. mature DC 's run low with chronic exposures and immature DC's cant do the job. this can lead to some serious immune disfunctions. she didn't mention VOC's which I fell needs more attn. or make any reference to other contaminants found in WDB's. saying that black mold is the biggest problem with WDB's just leaves out alot. yep, it does sound like she just read mold warriors. mold warriors is out dated. I understand that there was a time when Shoemaker relied heavily on mainly the HLA markers and anyone who didn't have some must be sick for other reasons and he relied on CSM in that if it didn't basicly cure you and especially if you didn't have the HLA markers you just were not sick from toxic mold exposure. this was in total relience of only the immune system involement. while it may fit some, even many, it's not the whole picture. I know that many dont suffer the damage to the nasal and sinus,olfactory,brain,eyes,frontal lobes,NERVES! in quite the way it has affected me. I understand how if you dont fell it,deal with it, you may not be able to comprehend just what could happen here. I also think it plays a bigger role than even thoses who dont " fell " it , may think. you see, I kindof fell I'm in a fix here, I recieved a lot of actual physical damage to my organs, it's been ruff. I was driven to a hospital 2 hours away, where there was no chance someone would know me, to get a honest opinion, while my head was about to split open with pain and luckily the ER did some scans of my sinuses and brain and the head doctor was more than a little disturbed by what he seen, he told me to get to a expert ENT. unfortunity I'm still looking for that expert. now I'm more than familur with whats going on with my brain when this gets to this point and it's not just a headacke. it's not even just a migrane. washing my sinuses is the only thing that keeps this from getting out of control and that doesn't always work because sometimes it just happens to fast. you want to know a big fat ugly joke, the ENT I went to next looked at those scans and actually said that scans could be tampered with and he wanted to do his own x-rays, and waaalaaa, I wasn't suffering at this time, my sinuses appeared clean and there only appeared to be one possable cyst but the doc didn't think it was nothing major and gave me a steriod nasal spray sample to try. another time I went to a ER about a hour away and was suffering a pretty bad headacke but it wasn't quite as bad, the scan showed my sinuses as clear but it was noted that they did notice that some of my frontal lobe was missing but they didn't know why. and they gave me pain killers. I'm actually kindof perinoid about letting just anyone do any type of surgery, I know theres some major damage there, I know I cant smell anything from my left nostral, I know my olfactory tract is damaged on the left side, I know that I can suffer greatly because of the damage that has accured up in my nose and where it goes into the brain and it has nothing to do with brain fog, and no doubt goes beyond the meaning of rhinosinusitis. and I may end up loseing my left eye over this, that makes the immune system take back seat for me. > > > > Toxic Black Mold Syndrome > > > > > > does anyone know about Dr. Vaughan or where she is located? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 That was the first thing I thought also. The point isn't black mold at all. I think one of the biggest issues is the fear of stachy but not of aspergillus, which is much more common and most people say not to fear it as it is everywhere. Good point. > > I just watched it again and I really didn't like it at all. > the term black mold just shouldn't be used, people who see different colored mold will assume it's harmless. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
