Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Why is it that in some situations, many family members do not have any visible reactions to mold, while only 1 person is affected? I do not know for certain but can propose a few hypothesis: The 1 sick person has a very burdened and weakened immune system, and any little extra burden is like the straw breaking the camel's back. The 1 sick person has a high sense of purpose, and his body is in tune and wants to keep itself in a high-functioning, pure, clean state so as to be a better vessal to serve this high purpose. This one is disgusting, but some like to subscribe to it: The sick person is just seeking attention and wants an excuse to not have to work, and feels loved by having others support him. Some people are effected in different ways, and do not notice it. I know someone who gets irrationally angry and raises his voice when the mold problem is bad. Here's another question: How far can mold-illness effect a person's mind? I knew one chemically sensitive lady who did not seem to have a firm grasp on reality. She even recalled events completely out of place. Did all the chemical intoxication and suffering eventually get to making her mental perception sick as too? I know of another man who was perfectly nice, kind, happy, and normal, before he played with mercury. After that he was a tyrant monster who badly mistreated his family. Did the mercury effect his mind, and emotions? Probably. Perhaps environmental toxins are effecting all of us, to one degree or another, or, perhaps most of us have a strong enough immune system to be able to protect the blood-brain barrier and guard against it. I'm not saying our values and morals are determined by uncontrolled variables, but I suspect that heavy metals and toxins can have a influence. I've noticed that the women I've lived with who smoked cigarettes had the same horrible nervous, anxious, paranoid, sense to them. It was awful to live near them, and I am not saying that cigarettes caused it right out, but it's a fact that smokers have more toxins in them, have a weakened lung-elimination pathway, and are much more likely to get cancer. But I have to wonder just how related heavy-metal toxicity is to mold-sensitivity. I know that I personally have both heavy-metal and mold-related issues. I've had them all my life. I've never done drugs, smoked, or evan drank alcohal w/ 1 small exception of a swig of beer. My issues were inherited through the placental barrier & the milk. Anyone have any experience with regard to the issues raised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well Mr. Research, I cant say you dont come to some logical conclusions here. I would like to throw the additional info in here and see what you think. In my case, and many here, we have a genetic marker, (I have a double strain of 4-3-53) Dr. Shoemaker calls this the worst one but adds a couple more genotypes. With this in mind and through meeting so many people here and otherwise I can find no logical conclusion myself. Some smoke, some dont. Some have Mercury fillings, some dont. Some are very active healthy people knocked flat on their back. I personally think there are to many factors to make a diagnosis this way. My example having a double strain, a smoker. But no internal health problems to speak of. All the sudden after 40 years I came across the one house that happen to be the one to change my life and in very obvious ways. Only since then have all the side effects you speak of came into play. I am speaking of mood swings. Complete lack of ability to get much done before I loose track of everything. Point being is that I cant see where I would fit into your hypothesis nor would many others. My personal feeling is this. Everyone can have reactions to the toxins from mold (and many other things) it is their health and genetic makeup which decides how fast and if they recover and of course the amount of exposure and to what. At that point I agree there may be other factors that that may play a part in the recovery, or lack there of, but I highly suspect that over time and for various reasons I wont go into I believe Mold spores and so many other things have morphed into something much worse than in the past. As far as the attention seekers. Those folks can only keep up the phasod so long. It becomes to obvious in my opinion as you get to know people like this. Problem is, doubting someone unless you are absolutely sure can be dangerous because we are labeled crazy from the beginning so to be accused can have a mental impact that will worsen recovery if this person had no confidence that SOMETHING is wrong. This is just my meandering opinion and nothing more but I was interested in your hypothesis..         Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men :Mortimer Adler ________________________________ From: research1844 <research1844@...> Sent: Thu, June 17, 2010 9:56:26 AM Subject: [] Why some people do not react to mold, and others do; metals; reality perception  Why is it that in some situations, many family members do not have any visible reactions to mold, while only 1 person is affected?
