Re: PRIORY IN SICKNESSES/SCHALLER, MD/QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Dr. Schaller,

Thanks for you imput, it will help many on this board. I was just wondering

if you could clarify and anyone else for that matter regarding the information

at the end of section number #3, in particular I got lost when you were talking

about " Do not put Mold exposure on equal footing on the medical " TO DO " list...

thanks,

Dear Friends,

Some posts have made me think to appeal to you on a crucial issue--what you

should get fixed first and with what tools.

1) If you are in a moldy sick structure this really is treatment one, since as a

trend most folks cannot out run 121,000 respirations a week if 24 hour exposure

or 60,000 respirations sucking in mycotoxins per 12 hours. This will generally

cause you to inhale and swallow more than CSM can remove if meaningfully high

mycotoxins.

2) Some think that there are better binders then Cholestyramine, and perhaps CSM

is just one Dr. Shoemaker is familiar with as an allopathic MD physician, and

that alternative binders would be as good or almost as good. WRONG. So far, in

my preliminary binders book study of 40 articles, it seems other options grab

some of the mycotoxins they are exposed to but the problem with a body and

building vs. grain, is the grain binders usually only have a small number of

mycotoxins and mold species--at times just one to bind. Yet in a building, one

often has a mycotoxin soup from many molds and many mycotoxins. So your binder

better be able to connect and hold many chemicals. I have not seen anything in

traditional or integrative medicine that can match CSM so far. Perhaps the

binder options book will help next year.

3) ALTERNATIVE LABS AND TREATMENTS--I am as open as the sky to options and

treatments. I wrote the first patient and physician clinician book in English on

the malaria (and cancer drug) promoted by the WHO and UNICEF called Artemisia

which is a Chinese herb. I say this as an example of my broadness. Yet, I find

some need to be careful with some openness which leads to chaos and 10

treatments all at once from 10 folks. Also, do not to put mold exposure on an

equal footing on the medical " TO DO " list. It is like being shot in the chest.

We fix that before fixing a broken finger. It is not as important as removing a

little heavy metal. It is not as important as a quality diet in the short

term---we are talking chest wound and that has to be top of the list.

I also believe in many different ways to diagnoses and treat, but feel that Dr.

Shoemaker was in the right place and right time with right intellect and

sacrifice to assemble many indirect and direct measures from solid labs to show

the effects of mycotoxins on the human body. I have seen 15 other mycotoxin

diagnosis approaches, and find them usually flawed or limited in terms of the

acceptance of the lab and the treatments.

4) It is about the mycotoxins on the spores not the spores.

Any treatment that is focused on spores is 1980's medicine..... Unless it is an

AIDS patient with spores unable to be controlled. In war biotoxin material the

issue is the mold toxins not the spores.

5) So do not get tangential.

Read Mold Warriors. If you cannot read it, consider the Rosen/Schaller book When

Traditional Medicine Fails. If you cannot read even one page fully, then you

will have to start with Mold Illness and Mold Remediation Made Simple

(Schaller/Rosen). Why? Because like a crime scene folks do many innocent but

accidentally " dumb " things when filled with brain fog. This is written for folks

who want to know in 60 minutes what not to do wrong, or help sick folks to not

make things worse with comics and pictures. As we know, many smart folks just do

not know this new basic science of building hygiene, and hurt themselves worse

in first days and seasons. Still get Mold Warriors and as you are get better it

helps as a reference, and then as you improve even more you will be able to read

it fully.

Dr. Schaller,

This is all very well and good when a patient HAS THE OPTION of moving.

But in my case, I didn't consider this for a long time because I had lost my

job, and KNEW that I would not be able to rent either a rental apartment or

even find a shared room without a good steady, high paying job unless I

moved out of the area... FAR out of the area.. and without a car, this was

not an option. I think that doctors, being high income earners as they are,

often don't realize that the options for the majority of Americans are

limited severely when they are sick. The only thing that we can earn money

with is our time and labor, and if the ability to think clearly is damaged,

what makes us any better than a machine? Nothing. The reason people get

hired is because they do jobs that machines cant do yet. That subset of jobs

is shrinking. Without income, people's options are limited, but as long as

they can come up with that months rent, at least they aren't out on the

street, where people's health falls apart even MORE quickly.. (many die

there too.. and homeless living situations tend to be EXTREMELY moldy, in

case you hadn't noticed.. that homeless people often smell moldy.. I have..

Thats why we need to push for standards on mold in apartments very hard..

because without being forced to, landlords wont clean them up and this is a

very dangerous situation because poor people won't put themselves out on the

street to be robbed from, beaten up and raped, etc. just to be out of a

moldy apartment, even if it IS killing them, they know that not having a

home will kill them even quicker..

They see THAT happen every day..

Most moldies can never afford doctors.. Most moldies don't even know that

they are.. Most moldies have their lives ruined and never have a clue what

is doing it.. Like 99.9999% of them..

We are the extremely rare ones who have figured this out.. I'm sorry to take

this tone but this is an important point.

Poverty KILLS and MOLD is one of the WORST AND MOST COMMON WAYS THAT IT DOES

IT.

Yes, I'd also like to know if you think removing

heavy metal is more important or less than taking

care of mold illness. You seem to be saying that

removing heavy metal is priority over mold

illness. I am wondering since I also around same

time breathed in some lead paint dust while

sanding some woodwork with an electric sander. I

guess it is okay to be a do-it-yourselfer but

must learn right way to do them.
