I bought this book from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and would recommend it to anyone suffering weird symptoms.It 's not a new book many prob know it - but many prob don't.Called Mold Warriors by Dr Ritchie Shoemaker.I think this doc is spot on with this.
I reckon people don't think they have a mold prob if they don't see the stuff plastered on the walls.This is not the case,it may just be a musty smell,but its there.He says 80% of patients will say there is no visible sign in sites where they get ill.
A very informative book ,at the back he lists the tests to have and where to get them done.He mentions ciguatera fish poisoning,Lyme disease,and all the symptoms we are experiencing.He explains a lot about children being ill with this and all the testing he has done in buildings inc.schools.
Excerpt from back cover:'Do a group of people at your school/work all have a cough,fibromyalgia or trouble concentrating.This is the first book to offer hope for relief of chronic health symtoms caused by mold growing in our indoor environments.Pain,fatigue,headache,unexplained weight gain,respiratory illness,memory loss andd neurological illness are often caused by mold toxins.'
(I had the weight gain for years but must say after taking a cocktail of various stuff for mold i have lost 14 pounds in the last month.)
He tells how to recognise it,treat it and defeat the insurers,govt officials who say it doesn't cause serious illness.
Excerpt from p33: Unlike many Drs in 2002 I knew a brand new disease threat was emerging in USA-a cluster of biotoxin associated illnesses had been hatched in our rapidly changing environment.They were creating debilitating ailments like CFS and Chronic Lyme,not to mention the empty non diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
He talks of an eye test( VCS) which tests unique nerves that run from eye to back of head,which tells them if toxins are disrupting even slightly part of the brains function.
There is a ton of info in this book ,but I would like to say I am not familiar with the author...(I wish I was ...we need him over here) so I only post this to give info to you that may help.
Yes there are also parasites involved in this as I know only too well.But I believe it prob starts off as mold and drags the rest of the ?demodex ,Flies,etc. into us.Everything flying makes a bee line for me (no pun) and am sure it's because I give out the mold odour.
Also another thing that may help people with the burning mouth syndrome (which incidentally is another symptom of mold toxins) is Sesame oil.If you massage gums with it it will tighten them.I have been using it for awhile now and the burning is almost gone.Also been using a mouthwash called Chlorhexidine gluconate don't know if you have that in US but available from Express Chemist in UK.This is also excellent for sore mouths.
BTW Carla..when they closed the asylums down here..we now know where the lunatics went.They formed the Government!!
