Jane I feel sick after I dust or do any cleaning too. It is because there is a residual amount of the mold and toxins in or on the stuff we have, and since we are sensitive to it, we get sicker. If you can smell it, it is there. Or feel it in any way. Your husband reacts differently than you do to the mold. He may not be sensitive, but even if he is, he probably will have different symptoms than you. I had to get the remediation on this house done over my husband's objections. And when it was all gone (just last nov) his sense of humor came back. He was no longer being compromised from the toxins being put out by the mold. I had to hire people to do most of the work. I could not even touch most of it, I would get so sick, even from touching it. I am doing alot better now, and can do some damp dusting, mopping, and washing. But if it does not include water, I have trouble with it. I don't know about the Welchol. It looks like it is used to lower cholesterol, so Shoemaker is using it to bind the toxins that are circulating in your gut, and get them out of the body. It takes time to get rid of them. Plus, it is very important to not get re-exposed, since it will introduce more of it into your system. If your eyes are better, that is a very good sign that your toxic load is lower. Mine do that too. Trust yourself. You are the only one who knows how you react to things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
