Re: Odds of mold toxicity symptoms being reversible ALSO CLOTH DISINFECTANT

[Guest guest]

Here is a part of a section I copied off of www.mold-help.org.

Airborne mycotoxins from mold can definitely destroy one's health. Sometimes,

people are unaware that they are breathing mold spores and mycotoxins until they

are very sick. if you have been exposed to the dangerous molds such as

Stachybotrys or Chaetomium, you could suffer from a myriad of serious symptoms

and illnesses such as chronic bronchitis, learning disabilities, mental

deficiencies, heart problems, cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue,

lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple chemical sensitivity,

bleeding lungs and much more. health problems may remain permanently, such as

brain damage and weakened immune systems. Eyesight, memory,

coordination/balance, and hearing are generally the most common residual effects

that often do not improve after treatment in most cases.

As far as the clothing issue I have found a product that just might help with

this issue.

It is called " Pursue " It is sold by Amway. It says it is hospital grade. As

far as a fungicide it says " Completely inhibits the growth of Aspergillus niger

and Penicillium variable fungi on cloth " The ingredients are

" 2-phenylphenol...0.199%, 4-tert-Amylphenol...0.046%, Ethanol-Specially

denatured alcohol...53.000%, Inert ingredients...46.755%

I have not tried this myself yet but read it on the can I have. I would say

for those who cannot get rid of cloths this might help anyway???

I also agree with KC in the use of Vinager in the rinse cycle. I still do that

with my new cloths as a preventative measure.

Anyway, I thought I would throw my 2cents in here...

poof. The reason you move is because you want to stop the further damage,

and in retrospect, for me it was that like any sane individual, you HOPE

against hope that it isn't permanent, but often it is..

Some cells regrow and repair themselves, some don't. Some kinds of damage

seem to propagate.. like cancer, when mycotoxins cause it, for example..

(Asp/pen cause a huge amount of cancer in this world.. thats not a subject

of debate anymore..)

Also, unless you can afford to throw ALL of your belongings out, the chances

are fairly high that there is a residual amount of mold in your stuff,

nomatter how much effort you expend in trying to get rid of it. I know this

because today I put on a fleece jacket for the first time in months that was

washed three times in detergent, bleach and later borax, and it still made

my wrists get red and smelled like mold..

Sure, they will always say, " If this is so important, why didn't you throw

it out? " but when you are UNEMPLOYED FROM THE MOLD you can't just replace

EVERYTHING YOU OWN.. either.. that would cost MUCH more money than you have

and its not very smart or prudent.. either..

In other words, you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't...

-Thanks I often talk about the stachy in my first home but

chaetomium was there to. I wonder if these two usually are growing

together? they must both do well with the same condictions required

to grow.-- In , Tazin Round
