Re: Lori/ meltdown/see any black mold? Digest Number 13976

[Guest guest]

Lori,

I had VERY severe issues like this. I had toxic mold in two different rental

units. Both times caused my son and I major meltdowns. Out of my mind crazy. I

thought it was HPA axis stuff. And guess what per Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. " Mold

Warriors " it is.

www.moldwarriorsinfo.com

Do you see ANY black mold, around window sills, bathroom etc. Anyone have

recurring sinus infections, which is really mold colonizing.

I am way better after we moved out, and got treated.

Just my two cents. Causes havoc in some of us. Mercury, lyme, toxic mold all

change genetics. Mercury makes the mold reaction way worse.

My son has severe fight/flight problems. Very large meltdowns over the

(seemingly)

smallest

things. We've had to separate him from his baby sister for the past five months

-- she and I

have been living in an apartment -- because her crying sets him off. He's a

very sweet boy,

but in stress-mode, it's hard for him to control himself. He'll try to go

after her. He was

doing well for about a week, but we had a two-hour long meltdown yesterday after

he got a

small bump on the head.

Does anyone else's child have this? If so, have you tried anything that's

helped? Alpha

blockers haven't seemed to work for us.

Thanks in advance,

Lori

There was a leak under our house, which created a ton of mold. It's been removed

for a

few weeks now. Sometimes he stays at the apartment with me and his sister stays

at the

house. I'm anxious to see what moving out will do for him (we're planning to

move to a

floorplan where they can be separated better). Fall is the worst time of the

year for him --

we're covered in leaves over here. I bought the best air filter I could find a

couple of years

ago -- IQair. Also and aquasauna whole-house water filter, and new heatpump with

filter.

Mold's a huge problem. Feels like I'll never get away from it. No sinus

problems. He's

rarely sick these days. But behavior-wise, I know that mold is affecting him. It

could be

the day before a rain, and I can tell through his behavior that rain is on the

way...

I used to be severely allergic to mold. Not sensitive, truly

allergic. Yes, you have to stay on top of any indoor mold, but you

can't control the fall leaves, other buildings, etc.

Treating for yeast, parasites, and NAET have resolved my allergy. I

still sometimes get a " tickly " nose when go into a musty area or

around fall leaves. Besides that, I'm fine.

Hope that helps.

Have you looked into barometric/air pressure changes? This is a

NAET worked for you? I may try it again with him -- it seemed to work back in

2003, but

we couldn't afford to keep going...

Vit E, squash & blueberries..when she was a toddler, she did get

tylenol (intolerant of motrins,etc) for concurrent tooth/jaw/head

pain, but that is no longer part of her " migraines. " (eliminating

fluoride,aluminum & tin sources led to that result ...second

thought, and with a concurrent near zero tolerance for any breads,

grains, noddles, etc or any generally processed foods...stick to the

real foods she tolerates very well & very consistently...that is about

it, honestly. epsom baths & rubdowns too, During a severe migraine

land moment, lots of tv shows, while she is busy being very very still

& untouchable ;( Ummm, most of the time now, we can head off a

migraine land moment with just extra vit E. As a side note, she is

currently inhaling pumpkin & apricots & grapefruit - I am assuming she

is doing a " clean up " after a recent battle with a bug, plus warding

off migraine land at the same time wishing you the best, elizabeth

ps....the thirdish thought the biggest thing I did for her

migraines, was to identify " triggers " and eliminate, keep to a

minimum, as many as possible...the possible lists of triggers are

relatively endless, btw - this group actually provided the best real

answers & ideas for causes & help with addressing those underlying

causes. love that wishing you the best, elizabeth

Yes, it worked. I go in once in awhile (every 6 -8 months) for

a " tune up " and do homeopathy as well, and treat yeast and parasites

and avoid chemicals in home cleaners, foods, personal care products.

The combo is what seems to work.
