Thanks for the reply Carl. I guess I don't believe in a God who allows

suffering for the heck of it but I have no idea why there is so much

suffering around the world. Maybe it's to get us to help one another instead

of

fighting/wars etc.

I agree with you when you say that people have to stop the exposure. I am

just saying that sometimes circumstances are such that the person can't.

I have chemical sensitivities and it is quite easy for me to stay away from

chemicals.....I just don't bring them into my home. It's been difficult

finding work that doesn't expose me so money continues to be an issue. I'm

just too tired to fight for a fragrance-free workplace. I guess that makes

me to blame for not having enough work.

Mold is another thing all together. Sometimes you can find it and remove

it easily and other times you know it's there somewhere but you can't seem

to find it. To have an inspector come in costs $$ you don't have. To run

a dehumidifier 24/7 costs $$ you do not have. Sometimes you're just too

sick to even think about it.

In reality, most people need help when they have these illnesses....if only

someone to listen to them and not judge.

So yes, if someone has the means and the ability to get out of a moldy

living environment and they stay, they are harming themselves. I guess I just

don't believe that anyone with the ability etc to get out would stay. For

what purpose???

This is a delicate topic and I'm glad you brought it up. There is an

important distinction here. For me, anyway.

I agree that none of us deserves the pain and suffering. But if that

is true then the argument could be made that none of us deserve

the good, either. (Unless we bring religion back into the

discussion, which I don't want to do).

" Deserving " may be the wrong word entirely. Maybe something

more like, " If I know to leave but don't, I will allow future

consequences on myself. "

I realize that there are compelling reasons why we can't all leave

a bad situation or a WDB so I don't want to imply it is their fault.

But I do want to distinguish this from when people hear the

importance of stopping the exposure but don't, yet frantically

search for a cure. The cure is stopping the exposure by removing

it or leaving. Doing neither is like demanding burn ointment while

in the middle of a smoldering house fire.

As I said, this is a delicate topic.

I'm not sure anyone can ever be absolutely sure, but for me I knew it was

safer once I found and removed a source of mold and my ocular migraines

stopped immediately. I would go blind for 5 - 15 minutes at a time with no

pain and no warning. They usually happened at night when I would wake up and

find myself unable to see anything but white.

Also, my dog's fur got a lot of its color back. She was black, brown and

white and went totally white from the mold exposure.

I believe that I have some issues that are probably permanent like hearing

loss and balance problems, although my balance has improved a great deal.

I used to lose my balance if I stubbed my toe and that doesn't happen any

more.

I never imagined that these things could be connected to mold exposure.

especially if you are still not well?

Interesting about the dogs fur and the color returning. I met a woman at Dr.

Reas that had her hair turn totally white in a matter of a few months but it

never returned to her normal color. Seems it has to do with the adrenals, etc

also.
