fully welcome

thanks in advance

Oh gosh,

I hope you're well again soon!

I have no idea about advice to give you, except maybe try and get lots of fresh air and exercise to move lots of clean air through your system. Wish I had a more answers!

Oh goodness.
I can relate.
I had some black mold growing in my basement.
It didnt get my health though,and I sprayed it all with bleach and got a dehumidifier.
Make sure where ever it was growing gets sprayed to heck with bleach water,and you have a way to keep things dry.It should get rid of it.

I agree a juice fast would be a good idea.
And get plenty of fresh air.

Hi La V,

I was thinking along the same lines as Suncloud ( hi Suncloud). I was thinking running in fresh air might help.

la_v,

Fresh air and lots of green juices, and like Vinny says, make sure for sure that all the nasty spores are gone from your home. Speedy healing to you!

P.S. Buy a painter's mask at the hardware store and keep it somewhere handy for the next time something like this happens, OK?

Well hi pakd! Long time no see! Hope you and your beautiful family are well.

Thanks Suncloud. We are doing well. Missed you guys.

Dear la_veronique,

Molds require lower PH (acidic) environment, for example see
[aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu]

So a common sense argument would be that a healthy raw fruit-based diet, which is known to be alkalizing (cooked foods are acidifying, animal products in particular), as well as rest (stress, tiredness is acidifying), should be a good strategy.

Gabriel Cousens did some lab analysis, which he reported in one of his book, from which it was apparent that after going raw, the level of molds in the body reduces dramatically.

Taka care,

so sorry LaV that this happened to you i hope you got all the mold/mildew cleaned up and you are feeling better soon !

Hell, I'd be more worried about the bleach that's used to kill the mould. In another life, I used to suppliment my income with the occasional house clean using a mixture of bleach, detergent and water. I never used a mask due to the extreme heat of the climes where mould is a constant problem. I developed asthma which never eased until I moved to another state.

Anyway, if you want to help prevent mould, a tip I can give is to add vinegar to the rinse water after you have used the bleach. It prevents mould from taking hold again for quite some time.

Best website I have found about mold:
[www.mold-help.org]

I came back to edit this post due to reading up on the mold website since it's been a few years I'd been there. So, take what you want from it, leave the rest.


I used bulk loose charcoal to make charcoal slurries and drank those for a few months. You can do some research on using those for your body/brain issues with regard to mold. I also did Chinese Herbal Teas that I got from a teaching school in Portland, Oregon. You might look up the school and try to find a practicing herbalist from their list. [ocom.edu]


I'm still affected neurologically due to my 10 month exposure to black toxic mold. But I'm started to feel better after 3 years. I don't fall as often or am not feeling off balance as much. Most of my symptoms are gone or lessened.

Let us know your symptoms and how they progress or get helped with what you try out.

Love,
Prism

Oh, Prism, I hope you have a full recovery soon

The plumber who helped us syphon out our basement after Hurricane Irene told us he takes colloidal silver to combat the negative effects of mold and other toxins he is exposed to.

Good luck and good health to you.

prism

charcoal slurry and chinese herbs? thanks.. i'll definitely do some research into that

quaya

cool name
colloidal silver.. that sounds interesting.. will check up on that neat item as well

i've been doing better and since my intent is to have even better more exquisite health than when this incident started... well, it is inevitable that it will happen...

its written in the stars

i always get what i want

Yay, la_veronique!

that's RIGHT!! TAMUKHS!

Mold spores are terrible, they can silently ruin health if no action is taken against them. My advice would be to completely eliminate any source of spores. If necessary, you might need to move somewhere else until your home is purified. Once you have eliminated mold exposure, your body should start recovering on its own. You can help it by consuming a lot of immunity boosting foods (sprouts, leafy greens, berries), and just let your body work its natural magic. Make sure you get a lot of fresh, oxygen-rich air as well.

Also make sure that there is no more mold in hidden parts of the house where you might have missed it the first time around. If you keep on feeling bad even after purifying your house, then it is likely that not all the spores were killed.

best of luck!
