Re: 'Walking Pneumonia'? or Legionnaires

[Guest guest]

Strangely enough, suddenly more diagnoses of

legionnaires disease is being diagnosed. Since it was

first discovered in the air units it stands to reason

that it is also a mycotoxin infiltration, of the Toxic

Mold family. What is really scary is that these can

grow and mutate if not treated quickly.

Well this is kinda scary. Walking Pneumonia is exactly what the doc's

say my daughter has had for the last month. All the antibiotics &

steroids they have given her have been able to relieve her symptoms.

She has been out of the moldy enviroment for 2 1/2 weeks & still

can't seem to kick it!
