Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi Kate, Good luck with your healing journey, I am sorry that you and your teen son are sick, my own son got sick at age 16 and is still sick at age 21 so I know how hard it is to have a sick teen, really really hard at times. Merry Xmas and may healing come your way in 2011. Sue V. >Thanks for the details. Internal colonization is also a consideration. >Cutting down on sugars helps all around if one is willing and able to do >that. Good probiotics!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 i just posted my story last night on what mold has done to me. made me reactive to sooooo many things, including cars. last year i became less sensitive and stopped reacting to being indoors and lots of things by doing foot baths (simply cilantro and distilled water for ten minutes) to remove the toxins in my body and taking probiotics and nutritional supplements. i'm doing that this year too, but it's taking longer this time because i got so much mold exposure and got so weak and even more immune compromised. i'm getting less sensitive by micro steps.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Ck drclaudiamiller.com and read about TILT. According to TILT a single trigger can start a generalized series of sensitivity and reactions. Just because it can happen doesn't mean it always will. Just because it is rare doesn't mean it has not or cannot happened to you or me. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC (fm my Blackberry) Spam[4] [] Re: Cross contamination Sue, several years ago I talked with someone at Dr. Rhea's clinic on the phone, she was very nice but I dont recall her name. basicly what she said is ofcorse we get sensitive to what we were exposed to in the WDB but also she believed that other things that were were exposed to at the same time of our exposure, like particles from car pollution, that may be in our lungs at the time,things like that we might also become sensitive to. thats makes sence to me, I just dont see becomeing more sensitive to more things unless your exposed to a high amount of something after your initial exposure,maybe so if we get out and continue to have exposures to other chemicals but I dont see that with myself. from what I've realized sence my exposure I am reactive to the same things I've always been reactive to with some getting better, some going away and some just pretty much as bad as they've always been. with me voc's from many things includeing mold exposures have always knocked me for a loop, I cant even say that I tolerate many voc's better than before, only that I've learned to avoid a lot of them and thankfully family has learned to never ever come to my home if your reaking purfumes or you'll go right back out the door because I wont take it very well at all. I cant help the way it affects me which can be anywhere from makeing me severly aggitated to stuttering and really not being about to say much at all and just trying to stay standing. maybe over all it's getting better, but some things I just dont care to test to find out. not long ago I thought I'd die my hair, the time before that I got through it by doing it outside and keeping a wet washrag over my nose and mouth as much as possable, maybe the chemicals in that brand weren't as strong as the ones the last time, no matter what I couldn't take it and was outside, faceing the wind, ect. I had to wash it out, and it zapped me pretty good. while I was outside trying to recooperate, I knew my balance was pretty much non-existing, but even after quite some time I thought I'd check it out and got on my grandsons bike. I couldn't balance it enough to even get my feet on the peddles and off the ground. at one point I finally went a little ways but I just started falling over sideways, weird, I thought the motion of the bike and just setting on it would be anough but it wasn't, I couldn't ride a bike because I had no balance. just thought I'd share that story because it was just weird. the coughing had finnaly stoped and I could breath again but it to ok along time for my balance to get better. these kind of exposures just zap my energy and my day is basicly done after one of those, that now is the main reason I avoid getting out much. I did make a quick trip into kmart the other day, and it wasn't to bad, but bad enough that I defences kick in and I caught myself breathing very shallow and holding my breath alot, I do that alot. I quickly walked past all the xmas stuff, it huts not to be able to go shoping exspecially at this time of year, hopefully sometimes I well be able to do this again. anyway, maybe I'm different but I just dont see becomeing sensitive to more and more things, is it possable that we just start relizeing more and more things that we are sensitive to? unmasking and realization, maybe? it's been a long road but the thought of becomeing more sensitive to more things instead of becomeing less sensitive to the things I'm already sensitive to , would be horriable. I wondered for along time about weither we become reactive to more stuff or weither we are just reactive to what we were exposed to which can be in many things, exspecially with voc's. I read a few studies that say we are only reactive to what weve been exposed to during our exposure. I'm thinking thats probably true, is there some studies or something you can point me to that might show different? > > & I think there is a connection, WDBs emit VOCs too, as well, once the > immune system is damaged, it reacts to more and more stuff.. sue v. > > >After mold, VOC's are my worst enemy.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yes you can become reactive to more and more things. Im reactive to all sorts of natural things now like any smelling plant. Reactions arent severe as some, but even smelling plants now cause inflammation in my system. Im reactive to plants that i had not encountered before as well as those i had encountered during exposure... Its all about the state of the immune system, liver etc etc i guess. Most people probably dont get this reactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 me too Janet, I never found much relief from any masks, the full face masks made the breathing process harder for me and I'd start felling worse because of even more restricted airflow to my lungs. it was a trade off, less particle exposure vs. more lung restriction. and things that off gass or voc's seemed to go right on through sometimes, I gave up on masks quite some time ago. > > If I am in a moldy building too long even with my mask on, I lose ability > to think to speak groggy and asthma starts > Janet > > > In a message dated 12/26/2010 5:05:31 P.M.
