Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 I actually had thought about starting a 12-step group in the Los Angeles area for those of us living with mold exposure and or MCS. There might even be a group for this already in place that I am unaware of. If you know anyone in the area interested in this please have them contact me either through the list or off list. s comparison of alcoholism to MCS; Most individuals in recovery from alcoholism are unable to return to drinking 10, 20, 30 or more years later. The body will react to the alcohol exactly as it did when the alcoholism was active in that individual. In these individuals this never improves or changes. This is why alcoholism is considered a progressive disease. Only with abstinance/avoidance of that substance is the disease temporarily in remission. If the individual relapses and drinks again the disease flares up and progresses. That is why Alcoholics Anonymous is considered a one day at a time program for life. makes the comparison of alcohol to alcoholics as the same type of reactors to chemical sensitivity with MCSD. Meaning the chemical sensitivity never gets better and actually progresses, worsening with each chemical assault. The key being of course as we all know it, avoidance. Which with MCS, is nearly impossible. Bobbins, RN, L.Ac, QME In a message dated 10/17/2006 6:27:43 PM Central Standard Time, ldelp84227@... writes: > > > In a message dated 10/17/2006 2:06:09 P.M.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 One has to wonder if the percentage of people who have these kinds of reactions will continue to increase. I think it will, given that its only been in the last ten or twenty years that buildings have been sealed up as tight as they are for energy reasons and many of the toxins are in chemicals that didn't exist in the human environment before.. (the chemicals in plastics, for example..) What I'm saying is that these insults are cumulative.. not just for people with MCS/CFS/mold illness/ etc. For everybody. Perhaps this is why so many disease rates are going up... Quote
