(Once I've been hit - the shift in perception is lost, so it's important to monitor the wind direction when " vectoring a plume " ) Sure enough, when there was a southwest wind, I could stay clear of the house, move to the " upwind " side and get totally slammed. Here was another case that was just like the house I was forced out of in 1994 (same night that Tonya's shoelaces broke during the Lillehammer olympics) Although the house had picked up enough mold to be a driving force in and of itself, the main plume was from somewhere other than the house.

While fighting with this neighbors plume in 2001, I decided to give the CSM a try. But I wasn't limiting my exposure. I was still hanging out in the " bad place " trying to deal with possesions, girlfriend going crazy, me feeling like crap, and wondering how I was going to survive this whole thing again. (Survived the experience, but lost the girlfriend. She finally told me " You're a nice guy, but you are mold-cursed. Mold is following you around. I have to get away from you " ) I was disappointed that the CSM didn't help, and only " blocked me up " so much that I was scared to death that this would kill me quicker than the mold. As I said in an old message: " CSM didn't do squat for me except make me squat more " . But I don't see this as a failure of the protocol, I wasn't following it correctly, and I hadn't done anything toward limiting my exposure - yet. And this is the same thing I see with others. We hope that somehow taking this CSM toxin binder is going to get us out of this mess and allow us to go on with whatever we are dealing with. From my best understanding of the situation, CSM can help you once you are out - and it can help you if your exposure is at work or just encountering contamination zones. But if you are still in the midst of mold, you cannot count on CSM to do much of anything at all. - Quote
