Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi there! I am hoping someone can help me. At the beginning of May I moved into a new (for us- not " new " ) home. About 2 weeks after we moved my son developed severe asthma and has been on a nebulizer every 4 hours since. My son does not have this problem at school or other homes. Last week I finally got sick of the severe mold smell in the bathroom. I pulled off one of the sticky tiles on the floor and to my horror there was a black colored mold all over the wood. I called the landlord and he told me just to put bleach on it and there was nothing he could do. He also told me to run a fan in the bathroom. None of this is working. What can I do?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 *****MOVE******* Now, while you still can.... But while you are there, get the mold tested. http://indoorairresearch.net has good prices. Take a number of bulk samples, or tape lifts following their instructions. Have someone else take the samples, fill out their chain-of-custody form, numbering each sample consecutively, while you take photos of them doing it - and then they should send them in. (with instructions in the form to send the results to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 If you have insurance, or even if you don't, ask your doctor about cholestyramine. I found out about cholestyramine from someone here and it was incredibly helpful for me in getting the toxins in my body down to the level where I could get it together to move out. I was in really terrible shape. I could barely walk up the stairs to my apartment and I was so scrambled and confused I would constantly forget where I was and what I was doing. Like an 80 year old man. Cholestyramine binds mycotoxins in the digestive system (the bile) where they accumulate. Check out http://moldwarriors.com and http://chronicneurotoxins.com for lots of info on it. Ive also found that alpha-lipoic acid, n-acetyl cysteine, milk thistle extract and garlic helped me.. (along with the other, less unusual antioxidants like vitamins C, E selenium and zinc, daily as well as vitamin A, D and K supplements because cholestyramine removes them from your body..) ****ask your doctor**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livesimply- If you're gonna tell somebody to move because their story is consistent with high TM exposure, be sure to tell them how easy it is to take their problems with them with contaminated possessions. Based on your own valuable experience with the difficulty this causes, you wouldn't want others to make this needless and expensive mistake. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 So true, we left everything behind and spent almost 300,000 to get it back and it took 2 years to get it back. It was worth it not to take it with us otherwise we could get sick again. [] Re: Help! LiveSimply wrote: > *****MOVE******* > Now, while you still can....
