climbing as does .

I also know many who just don't have the money to travel to see Dr.

Shoemaker or other toxic mold physicians. They are married, have

children, the kids need food, clothing, shelter and be in school.

It's hard..beyond words at times to comprehend the suffering of the

ill.

Yes it would be wonderful if everyone could find a safe, totally mold

free and other environmental toxic free home and have the money to be

treated by the experts but that's not reality. Who is going to give

them the money to do all this?

Rosie,

" couldn't leave everything behind " because they have those

responsibilities you describe?

I know a number of people who have been unnecessarily injured from

toxic mold because they DIDN'T leave everything behind and can no

longer maintain those responsibilities at all.

I just gave you an example of someone who had access to the best

information available but elected not to take it - and now she has no

job and is fighting for her life.

You of all people should understand that mold illness doesn't stop

short of taking virtually everything you have, job, marriage, ability

to care for children, your very life - if you fail to get out.

I chose to take action I still had options instead of listening to

doctors who said " Abandon everything? That's not reality " .

For a mold susceptible person who is growing progressively worse,

finding a safe environment is not only " wonderful " , it is essential.

As we have seen over and over, wait too long, and options tend to

decrease down to zero.

Good morning :

I do indeed understand the progression of toxic mold illness and I've shed

tears with so many over this. There are thousands if not millions ill from

environmental toxins, misdiagnosed and in desperate emotional, financial and

physical condition. I'm sure a number are in mental institutions

misdiagnosed.

Yes they(we) all need a safe environment however knowing and advising is one

thing; actually giving these people a viable solution is something else.

In 2002 we had a very bad tropical storm; much of Houston flooded; homes

flooded and thousands didn't have the money for total remediation so they

are living in toxic mold homes. I've seen a few, mold growing from floor to

ceilings. A number of these people are seniors on fixed income; old, weak,

and poor.

I'll give you two cases and hope you can give me some viable solutions of

how to get these people into a safe environment. Please tell me so I can

help others.

1. Senior, on social security with home full of toxic mold. Very ill,

weak, can't afford Dr. Shoemaker, Dr. Schaller, Dr. , etc. Regular

doctor misdiagnosed illness. Do I just tell this person to leave everything

and find a safe place? Who will search for a safe home? Who will pay for

the move? Who will pay for rent? Who will pay for medical consultation,

tests and appropriate Rx medications to help this person? Or do I just say

'get out', live in the streets if you must and die in the street. How can an

ill 70ish person live in the streets?

2. Family, 4 children, low income. Owns home full of toxic mold. Father

and Mother affected so far. No finances to see qualified physician. Father

will soon loose his job due to his illness. They can't sue anyone since the

toxic mold was in their home. No workman's comp, no lawsuits. Living

paycheck to paycheck and in debt.

How do we help this family? What viable actions do they need to take and

where will the money come from? Children need food, clothing, shelter and

be in school. Do we call child welfare and have them remove the children

from the parents and put into foster homes? Have the parents live in their

car until they can't afford the car payments, gas and then what? Live in the

streets begging money as I see so many do here. As I drive around see

hundreds a day begging for money. Some display systems of mentally

impaired.

You know where I'm coming from . Its tragic, breaks my heart when I

think of all these people. We have a toxic mold home across the street. Do

we sell our home and try to find a safe one and how do I inspect the

neighborhood to make sure no moldy homes that might affect me and if one

becomes moldy do I continue to move? Honestly we don't have that kind of

extra money either.

Please be specific in your response to really assist rather than just

advise.

Thanks,

Rosie
