Re: Leaving Moldy Place/Withdrawal Symptoms?

[Guest guest]

This is an old post about 'withdrawal symptoms'

after leaving moldy place. Do you think it could

be caused by the immune system starting to come

back and fighting the mold and toxins in your

body, where before it was suppressed??

-no, I thinkit has to do with the brain.can you suffer withdrawel

symptoms if you get out before you suffer from TILT and MCS? I cant say

because I didn't get out before that happened.I have read where TILT is

now being considered as a symptom of MCS, makes sence to me because

thats what happened to me.maybe when you get to the point where your

liver can no longer detox, your immune system malfunctions. this has to

have something to do with the continuing of build up in the system of

toxins because the liver is damaged and the repeated boughts of getting

wore down and fevers getting worse and a lot of night sweats off and on

even though I practice advoidence.constant sinus problems and I fell

like my whole world is toxic to me.even trying to practice advoidence

can not be tottally without exposures when you have severe MCS,I'm not

going to stop letting my family come over and my daughters are trying

to finish callage, that means that I am needed to babyset quite often,I

may not be good for much else but I will do that and what ever I can.

its not always easy, sometimes I have to fight to stay awake.smells on

thier cloths can make just hugging them a set back for me. I live in

the corn belt and i'm realizeing the difference in even outdoor

invironments can be so different for all of us that advice one gives

may be bad advice for another. I have also realized just how different

our exposure can be. just like dust is different mile for mile and that

dust enters our homes on top of the dust our homes create itself which

can be full of chemicals. mold eats on this dust and off gases whatever

it eats into the air we breath. needless to say, the chemicals that

have been in your home forever might not ever be inhaled until you have

a mold problem. mold eats it and releases it into your air,and it

attaches to the mold spores you breath. a nail will not rust without

mold, water alone does not make a nail rust, just because you dont see

it doesn't mean its not there.than airborne the mold and rust enters

your lungs. I dont think anyone can be exposed to even just one mold

without inhaling whatever that mold was feeding on, thus, makeing the

possabilitys endless of what else we are inhaleing and how it affects

us. old home,new home, outdoor environments mile for mile, it enters

your home.with MCS tap water and foods can play hell with us.I can't

afford to buy bottled water and i have my doughts as to weather its

much better.chemicals have different effects to different parts of the

body, so do different molds.with MCS it all constantly builds up in the

system. no one hear can have all the answers or cures, we just need to

be open to others exposures and try to look at the big picture and be

supportive of one another. it really bothers me when people try to push

their beliefs on someone else when you cannot know what what the other

has experienced.

I think most of us are suffering enough because of the lack of

understanding we recieve in our own lives.

TILT. Toxicant Induced Loss of Tolerance. . As I

understand it, Dr. studies alcoholics as one of her areas. She has

observed a

loss of tolerance. She has equated that with other toxics. That in my

Mold gets 'gas' from what it eat and we inhale

that??

Which reminds me is 'rust' a type of mold? I've

seen sentences that refer to 'rusts and molds' as

if they are related or something. My central a/c

is full of rust. I haven't seem any mold but the

pan is pure rust. Another indoor air health

problem I wonder?

ChemicalInjurySupport · CIS This is a MCS site with a lot of

intellegent people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, many ill from

mold. They recently changed the name of the group but TILT was one

of the names they considered. They are very knowledgeable about

and all issues of MCS. Check it out. Many teachers,

etc. Below is the site you can join and learn even more.

TILT is not a symptom of MCS. MCS is a SYNDROM true name is MCSS multiple

che mical sensitibty syndrome. A syndrome is a term used to describe

something they can't figure out of put anywhre out...aka TOS Thoracic

Outlet Syndrome, they know it's a valid ortho dysfunction but they can't

really pin point it. Symdroms are usually *created* after they do a rule

out of everything else that THEY know/understnad.

TILT is a NEW DISEASY PARADIGM, wheich means it is a new way of the body

reacting to an exposure etc.

did an emtire paper explaining this disease paradigm and it

is comepletely feasible, logial and well thought out. Explins fully why

this is hard to diagnosis andequates it to other accepted disease paradigm

that previously were thought of as unfounded.

From the presentation did on ABDICTION/ADDICTION she used alcholism

as the 2 faces of the same coin. Alcoholics CRAVE the -OH while

chemically injured people avoid it.

This was at a seminar in Trinagle Court/Building something in NC, can't

reall, but I know the seminar and I did post it prior to the actual date.

If you search the archives here abstract is there.

If you mean getting worse after you leave, its common for people who

have been exposed to neurotoxicants to continue to get worse.

Do a search on Medline for the poison's name and the words

" longitudinal study " and you will see what I mean...

[Guest guest]

LiveSimply, do you mean 'continue' to get worse, as in not much

changes when you move OR do you mean that your symptoms

are 'heightened'? I can understand simply moving not working for

people who are very sick, particularly with infection but do you mean

there is some 'reaction' to moving away from mold whereby people feel

WORSE ***because of their move***. Someone brought up the

term " withdrawal symptoms " , i.e. that there were specific symptoms

that they did not have before they moved, but that seem to have been

brought on BY THE MOVE. Is that what you mean?

I've been to Medline but I believe you have to set up password, etc,

which I haven't done yet so will take your word for it.

-I understand what your saying, this was a paper from Bell,cant

recall his first name at the moment, he basically said MCS is such a

well known name already that it may just stick, he brought up s

TILT as a new disease theory and stated that it may better or also

Maybe the toxic agent is still in the person's body so its continuing

1997 TILT by C.

(http://www.tldp.com/issue/210/toxicantin.htm)

although chemical sensativity may be the consequence of this process,

a term that may more clearly describe the observed process is TILT.

1998 low-level chemical exposures:a challenge for science and policy

by C

(http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/est/98/nov/low.html)

under STAGES; it has been hypothesized that TILT, a new theory of

disease, leading to chemical sensativity, also proceeds via a two

stage process.an initial exposure to high levels of certain cheimcals

or repeated exposures at lower levels, followed by triggering of

symptoms by everyday chemical exposures at levels that levels that do

not appear to affect most people.

Dr has studied many forms of addiction and its inverse,

abdiction. She has studied Gulf War Veterans, people with MCS and

many others starting with a study for the New Jersey Dept of Health

that led to the 1989 book Chemical Exposure: Low Level and High

Statkes.

Toxicant Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT) is an accurately

descriptive name for when a person loses tolerance to exposure to any

of many things, not just chemicals. The disease theory hypothesizes

that the loss of tolerance is induced by exposure to a toxicant. Once

induced the reactivity is not limited to just the trigger but a

multitude of other exposures that are seemingly unrelated (according

to traditional theories of disease). Kind of like " the straw that

broke the camel's back. " Once broken, the camel can no longer carry

the whole load regardless of what that load is. It must first heal.

But about 24% exposed to biological toxins don't heal. That, in part,

is where Dr Shoemaker comes in.

Google along with TILT or QEESI and read for yourself.

Also, check the Archives of this group.

I think the gest of this thread was someone who

felt 'worse' after leaving moldy home. I was

interested because I developed a rash within days

of moving (which could be due to ANYTHING of

course), but it isn't about 'continuing to feel

bad', but about paradoxically feeling worse.

Do you mean that they were becoming addicted to ergot alkaloids from

aspergillius or something like that?

Aspergillius fungi produce some chemicals that are closely related to LSD...

See this paper:

Abundant Respirable Ergot Alkaloids from the Common Airborne Fungus

Aspergillus fumigatus

G. Panaccione* and M. Coyle

Division of Plant & Soil Sciences, Genetics & Developmental Biology

Program, West Virginia University, town, West Virginia

26506-6058

Received 17 September 2004/ Accepted 20 December 2004

ABSTRACT

" Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins that interact with several monoamine

receptors, negatively affecting cardiovascular, nervous, reproductive,

and immune systems of exposed humans and animals. Aspergillus

fumigatus, a common airborne fungus and opportunistic human pathogen,

can produce ergot alkaloids in broth culture. The objectives of this

study were to determine if A. fumigatus accumulates ergot alkaloids in

a respirable form in or on its conidia, to quantify ergot alkaloids

associated with conidia produced on several different substrates, and

to measure relevant physical properties of the conidia. We found at

least four ergot alkaloids, fumigaclavine C, festuclavine,

fumigaclavine A, and fumigaclavine B (in order of abundance),

associated with conidia of A. fumigatus. Under environmentally

relevant conditions, the total mass of ergot alkaloids often

constituted >1% of the mass of the conidium. Ergot alkaloids were

extracted from conidia produced on all media tested, and the greatest

quantities were observed when the fungus was cultured on latex paint

or cultured maize seedlings. The values for physical properties of

conidia likely to affect their respirability (i.e., diameter, mass,

and specific gravity) were significantly lower for A. fumigatus than

for Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, and Stachybotrys

chartarum. The demonstration of relatively high concentrations of

ergot alkaloids associated with conidia of A. fumigatus presents

opportunities for investigations of potential contributions of the

toxins to adverse health effects associated with the fungus and to

aspects of the biology of the fungus that contribute to its success. "
