Re:Lori/mold Digest Number 13978

Hi Lori,

I figured as much. Mercury causes aberrant behavior, but mold causes really

dramatic CRAZY fight/flight response IMO. They are real similar, and in

Ritchie's book the similarities are right there, like mercury, from Andy's book.

Very interesting.

What part of the country do you live in? My Dr. is in Northern CA. Treatment for

mold and chelation (Andy's protocol) have made a big difference for me. But the

mold treatment has been key for the anxiety issues. If you have it in house, and

haven't remediated this could be why. Any small amount of mold if the person has

the genetic presuppositions and previous exposure cause a problem. Do you rent

or own? if you rent, might have to consider moving. If you own might have to

remediate.

I've had to get rid of two librays both times there was toxic mold. It eats

anything organic, paper, sheet rock, us. So I had to let go off everything

paper, or store in sealed plastic. Got rid of all upholstery, stuff animals.

Current thought to clean is with white vinegar, used to be bleach; 10 to 1.

It's a real issue. He probably is doing the best he can. Can't control the

reaction. Very uncomfortable.

There are tests to prove it's toxic and blood tests to check elevated

anti-bodies, and genetic tests that I did to prove it. Medicare covered.

Email offline if you want to talk in detail.

Be well.

You have my empathy. It's a very challenging walk, especially with mercury also.

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...

Hi, Alison -- thanks for the reply. We're in NC. I tested the house for mold and

it came up

negative, but then we discovered the leak. It had to have been there for months

if not

years. My son was actually diagnosed with autism when we were living in a

different

house. We'll move again and see what happens. Chelation is very much needed.
