MOLD - If I Had Only Known!

Tell A Friend

Being a victim of toxic mold, my life became a nightmare.  There are so many people out there that just don't understand how this debilitating illness affects your entire life.  You become a prisoner of these toxins.  A prisoner in your own home.  

With deteriorating health, I can not go out and do the norm.  With my being so ill from these toxins, I don't have the strength to live a happy and normal life.  And with the strength that I have, I am on a journey to try and help, through my words, all that are ill from these deadly toxins.



Other than losing my quality of life, I have lost faith in so many health professionals that will not acknowledge the truth regarding illnesses caused from toxic molds, mycotoxins, fungi and/or pests.  Experience having your very breath taken away, and constantly having to take medications, including oxygen, to help you breathe.  I never had to fight to breathe before I got sick from toxic indoor molds that are in my HVAC system. 

Living in a complex that consists of two buildings and approximately 300 people that are exposed to toxic molds on a daily basis gives me the will to succeed in efforts for the management to acknowledge and recognize the extent and seriousness of this issue.  And in my journey of research regarding these toxins, I found this wonderful group called "Sickbuildings", one of Yahoo's health groups.  I have met mold victims from other states and received tremendous support from so many of them.  We all ask how the political arena, medical professionals and many in the public can not know how many Americans are losing their health to mold-infested buildings. 

This is not just about my being very ill from toxic molds, this is a national health crisis.  Molds, mycotoxins, toxins, etc. do not discriminate against anyone.  There are children being affected in schools, and moldy hospitals affecting the men and woman that fight the war to save our lives.  Flood victims, the victims of Katrina and Rita, people in office buildings...anywhere at any given time this can happen to anyone.

How many more must suffer or die from these illnesses?  The silence must be broken.  We all must be a voice together for all mold victims and be acknowledged.  Toxic mold is that dangerous.

Please join in on this very important effort to get the truth out about toxic illnesses.  Please have your friends read my blogs, and take a minute or two in helping us all over the country by having others recognize how this is a national health crisis.

Please feel free to go into one of my blog sites to check out the slides of me after being exposed to mold: i.e. oxygen and central air/heating system ducts with mold, and pictures of me before I became ill.

My first and utmost passions are my children and grand children.

I currently have a strong mind set for activism with the many people across the states that have become very sick from toxic indoor molds, etc., whether it be from thier homes, schools, or work place.

Regarding comments to this article

Please do not post anything that promotes the sale of articles, or something that will be of harm to anyone that is ill from mold exposure. I welcome comments regarding my article and text in my articles. Please no victimizing the ones that are ill, and no personal attacks against them. We are here to get our stories told, and to help those that are ill, not hinder or interfere or lessen what they tell us.

Get the truths out about how molds have affected your live's.

Thank you and God Bless,

Darlene

Mold and a health solution

Hello,

My name is Stan Crane. I own a couple of businesses, both should be of some interest to you. One is Moisture Management Pro, LLC and is involved in mold assessements and remediation. Our remediation process is cutting edge, 100% safe (unlike most remediation processes) and 100% effective for now and in the future. More about that if you are interested. I think your interest currently (if I may speculate a bit) might focus more heavily on a wellness technology that is also cutting edge, has overwhelming science and medical validation. The results is helping your body "restart" your human operating system (in particualr your immune system) and allow your body to restore itself to full optimal wellness. This is through specific nutrition that has been commercialized out of our modern foods...nutrition that is expected by our bodies at the cellular level but we are not getting. restoring this specific nutrition allows your body to restore itself, including your immune system. Please, contact me to learn more about this. I have been working with this particular technology for over 6 years and have both experienced and witnessed profound helath turnarounds in people at every level.

RE: Mold If I had only known

Stan, 

Thank you so much for replying to my story.  What I think is definately needed here it in my opinio, that the landlords take the responsibility to remediate the entire bulding.  The builing is 9 floors high, and with the extent of the problem not only being in my apartment's HVAC system, but the molds are in the entire building.  There had been complaints for tenants in this two bulding complex with the ill effects that these molds have caused us.  The medical documentation given to the landlords, they should have immediately acted upon the first complaint years ago.  Proper maintenance and repair would of probably helped these buildings from what they are today.  I believe when you have landlords knowing that there are toxic molds in the buildings, they should have handled the issue differently instead of more people becoming ill like myself from these toxins.  I thank you for offering your services, but like I had stated, and in my opinion I think it is too late for this two building complex that houses disabled and elderly.  They should not keep renting these apartments to all ready immune comprised people, with the extent of mold that is here.  This is very wrong.  But we can't fight city hall, so to say.  It has been a long road, and I am sure it will be that much longer.  With my prognosiss being poorly due to the molds, I just hope I can make an impact on other victim's before this mold takes me to the end of my life, as we all know you can die from toxic molds.  People need to be more educated on this, and if my life's story or my articles that I have written saves one life, then I will have succeeded in helping somone.
