Re: lil more on mold

[Guest guest]

Hi all....i privately responded to a fellow NDN'r about mold and i thought it would be good to share to those concerned about mold.....

Terri

you are very welcome...Let me also let you know, you can tell how heavy your mold is and what kind by the color and size that grows in the dish...in the living room, it was the worst...a black and green mold grew and covered the entire dish...upstairs there was just a couple of gray dots..(the least affected area)..the basement was somewhere in between...so that will help you get an idea of where to focus first and how much or little, and if its black mold or not....ours was at the severe levels...that's why we had to go to such extremes...i dont want to fear the cost....we were told we really had no choice and i am sure he was right....i had begun getting big sores in my mouth from it and it got all in my organs so its a serious thing to be aware of.

best to you and yours,

A diagnosis is typically clinical. The Canadian Lyme website has a great list of symptoms www.CanLyme.com My IgeneX test was NOT a slam-dunk "yes" for Lyme Disease. There are bands that point to neurological-Lyme though. My Lyme diagnosis was by a Lyme doc and the diagnosis confirmed by me Herxheimer reaction to doxycycline. The IgeneX website does have some back ground on the test: http://igenex.com/Website/# from a Lyme website: "Each part of the Lyme bacteria weighs a certain amount. For example, the tail of the Lyme bacteria weighs 41 kilodaltons (kDa). Think of kilodaltons like pounds, ounces or kilograms. The numbers on a Western blot such as 23, 31, 34 or 39 refer to how much that particular part of the bacteria weighs in kilodaltons. The significant antibodies, in my opinion, are the 18, 23-25, 28, 30, 31, 34, 39, 58, 66 and 93." My IgeneX has all of these numbers in varying amounts. feel free to send me a note to wake me up :-) > > Just wondering....my husband had the Igenex test, and MOST of it was negative. The dr. said

there was one "band" (I think she called it) that was positive, but we haven't been able to follow up with this dr. (4 hours away, charges $6/minute on the phone....). Would you happen to know if he could still have Lyme's, even though most of the test showed "negative"? He has "parkinsonism" - stiff left arm, masked face, trouble swallowing, contractions in foot, etc. - 49 years old, diagnosed last August. > > Thanks! > > Michèle

One of the things with mold is that there are so many different kinds. Each

produces its own mycotoxin (which is frequently the part that makes you sick),

each of which has different ways in which it can affect you. And some people

just don't seem to be sensitive.

If you suspect you are mold sensitive, you should also avoid corn and peanuts.

They are both almost universally comtaminated. The mycotoxin in peanuts is

aflatoxin. I think corn mold is fusillium. Can't remember the mycotoxin.

Corn is in nearly everything, including plastics, so it is hard to avoid.

Mold can, directly or indirectly, cause neurological, and gastric complaints.

Apparently chronic sinusitis is nearly always mold related. It can cause

fatigue, immunosuppression, learning disabilities, hyperactivity...long list.

Air conditioning systems are frequently infested with mold.

Anything that gets wet, like carpets has to be dried completely within 24 hours

or mold will begin to grow.

Chlorine will kill mold, but can cause its own problems. Also, when you're

cleaning wood or other porous surfaces, remember that only the surface mold will

be killed. The mold will likely have penetrated the porous surface.

Cholestyramine (I think bentonite clay will act similarly) can be taken to help

absorb mycotoxins in your system. My friend takes it after she's been exposed

to any mold.

This info is from the friend who informed me about LDN. She turned her health

around by tackling mold/candida isses. Then she discovered LDN
