Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I am sending this " alert " to a number of lists. After six years of mold miseries, I believe I have earned the right to speak. However, ranting and raving is not my gig; what I really want to do is raise awareness of mold and the hazards it poses. I also want people to understand that while they may be diagnosed with MS, Parkinson's, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, or any of a host of other illnesses, the possibility that mold is real culprit is there. If so, the treatments offered for the named condition may or may not actually work. In Europe, I saw several hundred patients at a number of different practices and clinics. I was working long hours and not at the level I like to work in terms in thoroughness. Basically, I was doing mainly darkfield microscopy and herbal consultations, but as I poured over the photos taken, I have found more and more mold. Initially, I found it with four, maybe six, patients in Salzburg. Three were still living in mold-infected homes; one had left years earlier. He had liver cancer and probably died. The last I heard, he was submitting to surgery as a last ditch hope. The patient with ovarian cancer also died. The other two had hepatitis C and MS. The two questionable ones probably had candida, not mold. Both are still alive but still struggling. Little by little, I came to suspect that patients with mental illnesses, rare and difficult to diagnose conditions, fibromyalgia, cancer, etc., etc., were probably suffering from mold. In one very recent case, the patient had failed to respond to the black salve and the mold was found years later. I can think back and see similar patterns years ago. I also can remember patients who said their entire condition changed following biopsy. Now, if you think about how Roquefort cheese is made, a skewer is jabbed into ripe cheese and then dipped in the vat with the cheese that has yet to develop the distinctive blue-green lines that are prized by some and shunned by others. In short, all it takes to start mold growth is a little exposure. After that, the mold will shoot out hyphae and colonize. For years, I have read books in which it was stated that there is " very little risk of dissemination " as a result of biopsy. I like to read between the lines so this translated: the main risk of biopsying is that it will spread the tumor. As such, I have never felt that the end justified the means so I have suggested that people consider less invasive procedures such a thermography or one of the many blood tests that measure antigens or other responses to cancer. I believe that biopsy should be a last resort, not the first step. This said, I am equally adamant that those who pronounce a growth benign without performing tests are just as irresponsible as the ones who spread the disease. Moldmisery.com gets quite a bit of email. I don't really know if anyone is reading all the material posted on the site. I downloaded all of it into a word processing program and realized that there are 148 pages of text, exclusive of photographs on this relatively new and still undeveloped site. Included are symptoms relating to mold exposure as well as proper approaches to remediation of property BECAUSE this is one of many situations in which there is practically nothing a doctor can do to cure a patient if the patient is continually reexposed to a pathogenic mold. In short, the work space, school, home, and church as well as any other places a patient visits must be decontaminated or the patient must leave those spaces before any real progress can be expected. The problem is that while symptoms related to allergic responses may abate following decontamination, the growth of mold inside the body does not necessarily stop. Moreover, the damage caused by mycotoxins is not self-limiting. Therefore, years after leaving an infected place or years after cleaning up after a flood or leak, the patient may still be suffering from mold. I am 100% sure of this and really want people to consider the possibility that underlying whatever the named disease is, there may be mold: deal with the mold and then see if the other issues subside. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. For those who have not studied mold extensively, I just want to say that remediation is a task for professionals or very well equipped and prepared do-it-yourselfers. If you skip the correct protocols for removing mold, you may cause the mold to disperse and this does to your house what the skewer does to the yet to be infected batch of cheese. For weeks, I have been saying to friends that I am suffering from a royal case of holy madness, meaning that I feel I am shouting without being heard. All last week, I received emails from people who finally remembered a flood five years ago or ten years ago, but they are not connecting the dots. Please do yourselves a favor and draw the lines between the dots!
