Sick buildings are one of the major causes of fungal illness, primarily mycotoxicosis, in industrialized nations today. The United States is the least developed in fungal illness research and assistament to the community due to the high costs and fear of reprisals, so sadly, most American physicians have little or no education in treating this health crisis.

the crazies ?

So sorry didnt mean you! It is sort of a mantra for me. It is pointed at some of the out rageous theories that have been presented on this site. Once again I am sorry. Janice

Venetia,

The "crazies" are those of us who are trying to stay open-minded about what this illness is about and believe that maybe our idea-sharing might be able to assist researchers find a cause and cure.

Janice has singlehandedly discovered the cause and treatment of this illness (that none of the educated doctors and scientists have been able to figure out). Anyone who doesn't agree with her theory is crazy and obsessed with staying ill.

My house has been thoroughly inspected several times and found to be mold-free, bug-free, fungus-free and leak-free. I have a full house water filtration system and a HEPA HVAC filtration system installed. My house is cleaned every single day with organic products and I do laundry every other day. Yet my symptoms continue, just not as bad because I'm more vigilant about what I eat and drink. When I took samples of the 'parasites' to my doctor he told me they were "lint" and not bugs. He sent them to an independent lab that described them as "unidentifiable inorganic matter" - these were things that came out of my skin. Yet Janice insists we are all infested with springtails and other biting bugs and anyone who doesn't agree is wrong.

So I guess I'm one of the "crazies"!!!

My friend, the inorganic matter in your skin is probably insulation from your house. Because the mold is gone in your home dosn't mean you are not still dealing with the aftermath. One has to cut off the head of this beast, before you can truly be healthy. Glad to hear you are on your way. Janice

[Janice]

The fibers (inorganic matter) dont burn right....can you say fire retardent
Before you go off quoting me, get it right. Read all I have said before you quote me. You guys can't see the forest for the trees. You have had the answer all along howie, you just didn't recognize it.

Janice -

I never had any mold or fungus in my house, unless it was airborne spores from outside somewhere (which the HEPA system should have filtrated out).

Don't you think a lab would be able to identify insulation or other material that comes from a house? They tried to identify it because my doctor really wanted to believe me - when they sent the results back the first time, he sent new samples and they came back with the same response.

[Janice]

I know you will never admit it in a million years and probably come on like gangbusters telling me I'm crazy. but I bet this just clicked for you. Janice

[Janice]

Ya gotta give these guys some clue. They are not looking in this direction. Next time talk to your doctor or lab have them look into possible contamination from things from inside your home.

[Venetia]

Thanks for the explanations Janice and Howie!

Something that you just mentioned, Janice, struck a chord for me.

While it could be that some sufferers have insulation on their skin, the likely source of the material (fibers) is becoming much clearer for me.

My explanation to follow
