Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Doris, I don't know what CSM is so I definitely haven't tried it. I do take silymarin all the time to help liver function, but not at all sure what aspect of liver function I should be improving, or what silymarin does improve. The only thing that reduces my itch/rash (major MCS symptom) is hot baths or saunas which causes me to sweat out the whatever-it-is. AFAIK I am totally mould-free where I am, but highly MCS, so I don't easily see such a connection for me. My house hasn't got a single spore as far as I can tell. Your golf course is not a real golf course, it is a rare exception! REAL golf courses use dangerous chemicals by the truckload. I wonder how many of us have this positive correlation between high stress and less infection? And what does it prove. I suppose they will say it proves adrenal exhaustion, but I am not so sure. I do know that my metabolism is generally up the creek with the normally impossible combination of high testosterone and very very low DHEAS.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I doubt there is anything that affects everyone equally. Some people are affected by mercury fillings, others are not. Some people get the flu when it goes through town, others do not. A higher % of people who live near a nuclear power plant get cancer, but they don't all get cancer. Many many things affect the risk of getting some illness. But it is risk, % chance of getting it. Seldom is something so clear cut that everyone exposed gets the same illness. Only catastrophic things like a nuclear bomb. So no, it would not surprise me at all if some people are more susceptible to problems caused by EMF's than other people. Whether the difference is genetics or previous illness or concurrent illnesses or what, who knows. Doris ----- Original Message ----- From: yakcamp22 Doris, since there is usually only one person in a household supposedly affected by an EMF, is there a supposition that you have to have a bad gene or some other infection for the EMF to affect the sick individual and not the rest of the family? Again, in this case w/ EMFs, it would seem that it would affect everyone in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 CSM is a cholesterol drug that also works to bind the mold toxins in your body and get them out. If you are interested in more, you should get the book Mold Warriors (moldwarriors.com) I never saw any mold either; it is not necessarily visible, so I'm not sure how you would know you are in a mold-free environment. I will say it once again (sorry I keep repeating it), it is not mold that is a problem it is mold toxins created by the mold. Mold toxins are invisible. Once mold toxins are somewhere they never go away. Mold could have been there 10 years ago and if those molds made toxins, the mold toxins would still be there. The most mold toxins seem to form indoors, but they must be outdoors too because some areas are known for being moldy and making people sick (like California Bay Area where I used to live.)

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Excuse me for jumping in, but CSM is cholestyramine, a cholesterol- lowering drug (a resin powder mixed into water), used by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker to bind neurotoxins in the gut (from Lyme, or mold, or staph infections). Along with this the drug Actos can be used, which according to him helps reduce inflammation. You might read some of his work. I was just reading in his latest book " Mold Warriors " where he says he had MCS, and believes that MCS starts with a mold exposure. Your case may fit his model, in that even though you're no longer exposed to mold, the accumulated neurotoxins are still in your system, causing your MCS, or they have affected your hormone balance and contributed to MCS somehow. He says certain genotypes are mold-susceptible, these are listed in Mold Warriors. I personally think it's worth reading; many people seem to dismiss him without giving his testing and treatment a chance. Saunas may be doing for you what CSM does for some of his patients. www.chronicneurotoxins.com www.moldwarriors.com www.hopkintondrug.com (compounding pharmacy that makes pure CSM without sugar or aspartame) > >Hi n > >Have you ever tried to get the mold toxins out of your body with CSM?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I actually did know about cholestyramine, I jsut didn't recognise that acronym. I bought this place new, and have had the humidity below about 30% for almost every day since I have been here by a combination of means including a permanent heater 24/7 in the wet areas.

According to her partner who was > trying to sell me the caravan, after three years she was " cured " . > Hi n. My question is, if we are so unable to tolerate mold that exposure to it at levels that does nothing to other people causes us to become almost totally disabled, wouldn't we most likely succumb to it again when we are exposed to it again? Also, I live in Tucson, AZ. It rains here very infrequently and the humidity is often in the single digits (1 to 9%), but we have lots of mold here too. Mold has no problem adapting to a desert environment. The wind blows fragments and spores around all the time. I have heard many of these " I did one thing and it completely cured my CFS " stories. My conclusion is that either these people had a very different illness than I have, or they are very lucky, or they are trying to sell something (a stainless steel trailer?).

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 That doesn't prove you don't have mold; it could be growing inside a wall from a leak, etc. If you read the book, you will see that there doesn't have to be mold in your house for you to be sick. If you are mold susceptible, you may have be exposed to mold toxins in the past and they are still in your body causing the trouble. That said, new houses are loaded with outgassing chemicals and about the worst choice there is for people with MCS. When I moved, I refused to live in one that wasn't at least a few years old.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi I'm sure there are other and probably better choices; unfortunately nobody is working on it besides Shoemaker and he mainly uses CSM. He doesn't get into enough detail in the book about people it doesn't work on and why. At the time of the book he talked about not being able to help them much yet and that is where his focus is now. So I suspect he might have some more things by this point. I admit I've gotten all my info on mold toxins from Shoemaker. You might be able to find alternate research. Apparently the field of mycocytology is new but they are learning fast, doubling their knowledge every few years. Shoemaker mentions that until a few years ago they didn't even have the ability to measure a mold toxins and could prove they were there. I understand people who think Shoemaker doesn't have the handle of CFS; I think it's true that he focuses on mold and when you have a hammer, everything you see looks like a nail. But his experience with mold in sick buildings is so strong, thousands of cases, and he tests susceptible people over and over even after supposed cleanup, with and without CSM. So I don't question at all his knowledge in general of mold, so I believed when he said the toxins don't die. But I'm sure there should be some scientific proof out there. (I think maybe his first book had more about the toxins; maybe if I went back and re-read that it would help.) I can say what a mold toxin is. Molds send off spores to reproduce. If they are relatively safe and not being threatened for survival, then they have extra " energy " and use it to create toxins. They put the toxins on the spores before sending them out, in order to help the spores survive. That's why molds inside homes tend to make way more toxins, because the humidity and temperature is perfect for them, and they don't have natural predators. So they have a lot of extra energy to make toxins. There is also a belief that chemicals in our environment have made mold toxins more potent. Anyway, according to Shoemaker, years after the mold and spores are gone, the toxins remain. Doris Re: Interesting WHere do you get the idea that the toxins never go away? DO you have any proof of this? What do you mean by toxins anyway? Lots of people do poorly on CSM. There may be better choices. I am so grossed out.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 My son does something like this. Everyone he knows has sort of a category so that when he sees them again he immediatly starts talking about the certain persons catergory. One person has a little sports car so eveytime he sees this person he immediatly starts talking about their car. Or my nephew plays pro hockey so obviously his catergory is hockey but he really only talks about the time when he was still in the minors which was quite a while ago. I think he does this because when my son first stared doing this was around the time that my nephew was playing in the minors and we as a family would all sit around and watch him play being broadcast on the internet.. And peter loved that. Everyone has a category which I guess helps him and gives him comfort and confidence too.valet_4u <valet_4u@...> wrote: Or how they name folks!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just the OPPOSITE happened with polio. I believe it was in 1958 doctors were no longer " allowed " to diagnose polio based on symptoms - they had to send in poop samples to of all organizations - the corrupt World Health Organization for analysis. So, they then made the claim that polio was " eradicated " by the vaccine and came up with new names for the disease (Guillain Barre, asceptic meningitis, acute flaccid paralysis, west nile virus, etc). What a joke. Prior to 1958 these would all be called polio. > > My co-workers daughter was just diagnosed with the flu.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 IVIG has been a off label use for Autism for years. I am not sure what the recent studies point too, but I do know that several years ago it (in a few SMALL blind studies) helped relieve SOME of the behaviors associated with autism. Personally, my son has autism, and while I am not sure IVIG has changed the symptoms, he is not sick anymore, and therefore more receptive to autism related services.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 hi Sue- I'm sorry to hear that the IVIG doesn't help with the OCD- for your son's sake and for mine too. One of my boys and I have already been getting IVIG infusions for years and my other son has recently had his diagnosis (long suspected) of CVID confirmed also. I strongly suspect PANDAS for him too and his most recent testing suggests it. He also has OCD- quite severe and I am praying that starting infusions will help him- not only with his CVID but also w/ his PANDAS and his aspergers (unofficial diagnosis) My best friend has a son w/aspergers and I know a lot about it- as does she obviously- and she agrees that it is very likely he has it also. He is able to compensate with support and therapies I have learned from my friend. My son is extremely sensitive @ autism and OCD and refuses to be tested formally- which makes me sad on so many levels...WAY too much rambling could happen but I will stop explaining so much now ;-) What tests were done to confirm the PANDAS diagnosis ? I can remember off the top of my head what was tested- but my son has very classic signs of PANDAS.

He also has CVID and receives IVIG....I can tell you, from my experience, that the IVIG has done nothing for his OCD...I wish it would, maybe it helps some kids, but not mine. Sue > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
