Toxic Isn't Allergic-Was: type 111 Gell and Combs

[Guest guest]

Toxic Mold Reactivity is totally different from Allergic Mold Reactivity. I have

had both types of reaction, concurrently, during past mold exposures. I have had

56 years of experience with allergic and asthmatic reactivity, and 14 years of

experience with toxic mold reactivity. My experience was that my asthma

medication, albuterol, only relieved fifty percent (50%)of my symptoms, during a

combined allergic/toxic reaction to mold. Prior to my first " toxic " reaction,

the albuterol had always relieved one hundred percent (100%) of my symptoms.

Therefore, I assume that the half (50%)of my symptoms that were NOT relieved by

albuterol, were caused by a " toxic " mold reaction. Albuterol does not relieve

ANY of the suffering caused by a " toxic " mold reaction. The only way to BEGIN

relieving a " toxic " reaction, is through TOTAL avoidance of mold. None of the

fine " de-toxing " regimens discussed on this board will be effective, while you

are still being exposed to toxic mold. Unfortunately, many people are victims of

what I call " ALLERGY DOCTOR THINKING " . That is the false logic that many allergy

doctors will present to you. It goes like this: " If the allergy/asthma medicine

has relieved only half of your suffering, all we have to do is double the dose

of the same medicine, or add additional allergy/asthma medicines to your

albuterol, to achieve one hundred percent (100%) control of your suffering. "

When you are gasping for every breath of air, the " allergy doctor logic " sounds

reasonable. Unfortunately, this " false logic " is NOT true. It is given by most

allergy doctors,to their patients, due to the doctor's total lack of familiarity

with " toxic " mold reactions. After I was no longer exposed to a mold-filled

environment, and only had to deal with my many allergies and asthma, I achieved

a one hundred percent (100%) improvement in my breathing, by switching from

albuterol to Symbicort. I hope that my personal experiences are not met by

replies from people coming to the defense of " their allergist " . While I agree

that your friendly neighborhood allergist should always be everyone's " starting

point " , when searching for relief from suffering, I believe that most allergists

will turn out to be a total waste of your time.

no ones saying toxic is allergic. gell and combs is not based just around

allergic, albuteral helps with lung rescriction that can be from RADS, known to

be a toxin caused condition.

re-exposures to known chemicals does cause my airways to close up, thats not a

allergic reaction. thats lung restriction caused by toxin exposure.

I cant really related much of anything to a allergy.

some may, some may not.

I have posted info. before under the gell and combs that is toxin exposure

related.

theres plenty of allergic mold related diseases known, it's possable to have

both allergic and toxic exposure, some may have either or both. advoidance with

both is a must.

I think some might get misdiagnoses of allergy, I think theres reasons why one

might show possative with allergy testing but not be allergic. several possable

reasons out there.

you are trying to make a point based on what you have gone through, not all have

gone through the same as you.

the point is , for each of us, what ever helps, weither it's allergy med's or

treatment for toxin exposure or both.

or whatever. we cant say, this happened to me so everybody has to fall into that

catagory, it doesn't work that way.

none of us can say that. NONE OF US!
