Re: Value of home testing?

[Guest guest]

I think that the best test is yourself. The problem is that you need

to be able to go somewhere where you know for fact that there is no

mold.. A deserted island with no plant life for instance. The

mountains, or if you don't have mountains maybe out in the woods. Go

camping. Go to a decent quality hotel that is well maintained. I have

heard that there are people who cater to moldies, they have " clean "

housing that you can rent temporarily. I believe Environmental Dr's

have a list of people who do this. This might be the most effective

and realistic.

If you feel better that is a good indication but could be a placebo

effect. If you feel MUCH better than you can pretty well assume you

have mold.

If you still feel sick this does not mean that your not sbs, you

might have come in contact with mold wherever you moved to. On the

other hand if you do feel much better that's pretty conclusive.

Keep in mind a test like this should be for a week or more.

So that your body has time to get clear and you can gauge it's effect

on the way you feel.

At which point you will need to hire a professional to assess the

degree of the problem and weather it is salvageable or weather you

must leave for good. Get references, check with the better business

bureau.

Books are great if you are not sick. If you are sick it's still

better to try to get as much out of them as you can, and try to

implement their strategies.

Jeff may's books will answer a lot of your questions on home testing.

Yep. That's the way it is!

Mountains are good! I just got back from camping out in the desert.

Climbed Churchill peak, and not one single " mold hit " to be felt

anywhere.

And it isn't really necessary to find a place that is absolutely

perfect. Better is good enough, because what you are looking for

is " The Relative Shift " of a differential in response according to

location.

The more practice you put into detecting " the shift " , the better

you will be a finding places that are better in the future.

It's easiest to start with a dramatic shift, and work your way into

detecting slight ones.

---gee eric, sounds fun, I used to do stuff like that. would be hard

now, because I have cronic asthma, and no dought that a evening

outside would make me sicker than a dog, where I live. be careful

around those desert sands. I aways thought I could live in the

mountains, even had a spot picked out in Idaho, where I dreamed of

haveing a log cabin. I now have the hermit part down pat,lol's but I

dont think me and the pine trees would get along to well now. love

them huckleberrys, wow, the good old days, when I was healthy and

full of

energy.

So, I gather from the responses thus far that

ojective testing, like say mold plates, is

not any good?
