Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 well, sence I have been sticking my neck on the choping block anyway,I'll true to answer this question. Dr. Croft, I'm am thinkful to him for his help in a few matters. he told me of a AAEM member doctor in wi. and I'm glad I had that testing done even though I didn't make it back for further testing. I'm thankful of his guidance in mold and chemical advoidance back when I wasn't online, and my lawyer sucked and I was getting no help or understanding from anyone let along doctors. He is a very smart man and is from what I can tell the first to deal with toxic mold exposure in WDB's. he also is getting old and may be suffering somewhat from his exposures in these WDB's over the years and as we all know there seems to be a problem with some of us healing from these exposures and every doctor has their own opinion on things. there may be something to the biopsy testing around the ankle as I have a lot of swelling to my feet and ankle areas and if toxins do migrate there that might be why. ? maybe it worse if your liver damage is worse and maybe theres reason why besides toxins getting stored in fat cells in the omentum that they are also heading to the feet, and maybe pathogens too. I dont know, haven't dived into that. kindof think it may be where junk in your bodily fluids end up. you'd have to ask him his thoughts on that. I can see where looking for mycotoxins in white material might be good exspecially of you didn't get mycotoxin testing done in the home and have a case in court but it might not be admisable because just sending a article to Dr. Croft and having it tested doesn't prove that article came from the same place you were exposed to, so it probably would get thrown out inless it was collected by say a company doing other testing on the home and sent and you had recorded evidence that that article was in your house at the same time you were exposed. however for your own personal knowledge it would be interesting,but cost might make it not so interesting and understanding the chances of being exposed to the mycotoxins of the molds you were exposed to might be good enough. as far as treatment Dr. Crofts support in that, I can't really comment. what works for some doesn't allways work for others. > > After seeing Dr. Croft mentioned several times on this group, I > googled him and found that he is in Wisconsin and does toxicology and is > a pathologist, his website says he can help your doctor figure out what > is going on.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 This is interesting. Perhaps Croft has found a good location is down near to the ground. I would think mycotoxin and endotoxin exposure would be greater nearer to the ground, since everything falls to the ground eventually and we kick it up when we walk. Let us know how test turns out if you take it. Also things circulating in your body might deposit lower in extremities due to lack of good circulation there, so things might settle out...just thinking of running water, things stay afloat and where water flow slows, more things settle out of water. > > After seeing Dr. Croft mentioned several times on this group, I > googled him and found that he is in Wisconsin and does toxicology and is > a pathologist, his website says he can help your doctor figure out what > is going on.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 yes Barb, I believe it's Dr. Crofts thought that toxins get more absorbed in the feet ankle area because of things settleing to the ground,carpet,ect. I was also thinking that because I've had problems with swelling,inflammation from the kness down and feet,sence my exposure that maybe kindof like liver disfunction might keep us from detoxing as well that route that kidney disfunction might play a role in this too. for some strange reason this swelling gets it's worst mostly in the summer right along with me and my problems with dry particle things being more airborne. > > This is interesting.
