Air Cleaner with Hepa
Filter - Run an air cleaner to capture mold spores and other
microbes out of your breathing environment. It doesn't have to be
fancy. But, it needs to have a True Hepa filter in it, in order to
capture the mold spores. Every home should have one. There are so
many microbes in our inside and outside air, taxing the cleaning
systems of the human body, that reducing the microbes your body has
to deal with is very beneficial. Opening up the windows and
doors and airing the house out, on a day when the outside mold
spore levels are low, helps clear out concentrated levels of mold
spores and their mycotoxins. Then the air cleaner can capture any
new ones which came in with the fresh air.
Vacuum with Hepa
Filter - Frequent vacuuming of your home, using a vacuum with a
True Hepa filter, helps to capture the harmful mold spores and
other microbes out of the air you breathe.
Contaminated
Clothes - When you come home from an
environment where mold spores have gotton onto your clothes, you
might want to take them off and throw them directly into the
clothes washer tub. I work outside all day and walk through tall
grass areas, accumulating grass seeds. pollens and mold spores onto
my clothes. I don't want to bring them into the house where I am
trying to keep the level of microbes low. This is especially true
during periods where you are going back and forth between your old
contaminated home, and your new home.
Bedding -
Change the
sheets and pillow cases on your bed on a weekly basis. Vacuum the
mattress and pillow cases each time you change the sheets and
pillow cases. This also helps reduce dust mites, which have a
symbiotic relationship with mold. Where there is mold, it is more
likely to find dust mites.
Fans -
Stagnant air
makes it more likely to have mold growth. Areas with low air flow,
like closets, are more conducive to mold growth. Fans circulating
air help to prevent mold growth. But, if there is already a mold
growth problem, they will stir the mold spores up and circulate
them. Position fans so mold spres are blown, or sucked, out of the
home. It is very important to have strong fans in bathrooms and
other rooms where the humidity needs to beextracted from that room.
An excellent tool to use for this is to install a humidistat, whcih
turns the fan on automatically when the room reaches the set
humidity level. I feel 40% humidity is the ideal humidity level.
Most molds don't grow when it is under 50% humidity. Too little
humidity can turn us into what I call a microbe magnet. I feel the
static of too low of humidity can actually attract airborne
particles such as mold spores.
Shower
Curtains - Shower curtains tend to have the
edge fold over, trapping moisture inside that flap. Mold will grow
there. Cleaning the shower curtain with bleach will kill the mold
on it. Wait 5-10 minutes and then rinse well. Be sure to clean it
in a well ventilated area, and use proper protection for your eyes
and lungs.
Overflow Drains for Sinks
and Tubs - This is an area where mold has a
tendency to grow. Pouring some bleah down there periodically will
kill it. Wait awhile and then rinse well. Ventilate well and
protect your eyes and lungs.
Garbage
Disposals - This is an area with a high
probability of mold growth. Pieces of food get stuck in the
disposal and the P trap of the sink, then mold. Periodically fill
the sink up part way with bleach. Use long handled tongs to pull
the sink plug out, letting the bleach gush down the disposal and
drain. Wait awhile for it to kill all mold, then run cold water
down drain for awhile to flush out the bleach. Ventillate well and
protect your eyes and lungs.
Hygeine
Shower before Bed
- During the day various
microbe such as mold spores accumulate on our hair, skin and
clothes. It is a good isea to shower them off of you prior to
laying down on the bed you are trying to keep microbe free. Beds
and pillows tend to be saturated with various microbes such as mold
spores. Pillows should be replaced once a year, preferably with an
allergy free one.
Dandruff - Dandruff is a fungal
condition. The mold sucks the moisture out of the scalp, making it
flake.This is why most dandruff shampoos have an antifungal
ingredient. Try to use a natural one. I suppose it could be used to
kill mold on the skin of other parts of the body.
Pets -
When I was in my toxic mold exposure, one time I smelled what I was
coughing up. It smelled like the wet dog hair of an outside dog,
who is rarely bathed. It started me thinking about the potential
for fungal conditions to grow on dogs and cats, from their hair and
dander getting wet. I watch a friend's dog for him. He is an inside
and outside dog. He smelled. His eyes were bloodshot and drooped.
And he displaced some mold exposure symptoms. Perhaps from running
through tall grass and mold ridden ground cover.
I started giving him a
bath using a dandruff shamoo, since they have antifungals in them.
It was quite amazing actually. His eyes were no longer bloodshot
and droopy. The skin around his eyes actually tightened up. His
coat looks and feels totally different. Now I give him a dandruff
shampoo bath every couple of weeks.
If you have been in a
toxic mold exposure, remember your pets have been affected too. The
spores have landed on their hair and skin. They have also inhaled
all the spores. Animals have long been used as early warning
systems to detect harmful substances. I put a couple of 3mg drops
of chlorophyll/chlorophyllin in his water bowl.
Ears -
The purpose of ear wax is to catch pieces of leaves, dust, pollen,
mold spores and other microbes floating through the air. The skin
inside the ears gradually moves from inside the ears to the
outside, over time. It is like a slow moving conveyor belt taking
the microbe saturated wax out. Like the rest of the body, the ears
adapt to changes. If there are a lot of loud noises, they grow more
wax to dampen the vibrations of the ear drum. When the amount of
microbes entering the ears increases, the ears produce more wax to
try to catch that higher volume of toxic molds drifting in,
especially at night when one ear is up.
When the volume of toxic
mold spores entering the ears is too great to capture in the wax,
the ears are not always successful at protecting the sensitive skin
of the inner ear from the damaging effects of the toxic mold. This
can contribute to, or cause, painful earaches and overgrowth of wax
in the ears. This can lead to many problems of the ears, including
conditons which lead doctors to put tubes in the ears of children,
unfortunately.
I came
to the conclusion that it was not a good idea for all that mold
saturated wax to sit there against that sensitive inner ear skin,
so close to the brain. Most of the ear cleaning kits are not very
effective. The best method I have found is using ear candles. The
heat from the flame gradually sucks the wax out of the ears and
canals, as it burns over about twenty minutes. The first time I did
it, it took 8 candles in one ear, and 6 candles in the other ear,
over several days, to get all the wax out. No wonder I had so many
earaches and was hard of hearing. The ear candles took care of
those problems.
Half an eye dropper of
hydrogen peroxide in the ear for about twenty minutes can help
maintain mold free ears. How often depends on need.
Hydrogen
Peroxide - Hydrogen Peroxide is a sterilant. It
kills bacteria, viruses, mold and other fungi. I like to use it in
several ways because it kills mold in a safe way. It also kills
bacteria, helping to reduce the level of both fungi and bacteria,
to levels more managable for my cleaning systems. It also thins the
blood.
The store bought 3%
solution can be used to rinse your mouth, killing all germs. Don't
swallow it. You
won't like
the taste. Then I wait a few minutes to brush my teeth. There is
some debate as to whether the "germs" in your mouth are bacteria or
mold fungi. Seems to me that food rotting between the teeth would
be mold.
If you have drying,
cracking hands and skin, you can soak your hands in hydrogen
peroxide for a few minutes to kill the various mold and other
microbes, which are trying to take advantage of the cracks in your
skin, to make entrance into your body. If it is bubbling, it is
killing microbes. Sometimes you can get sharp nerve reactions to
it's use. Rubbing some aloe or good natural hand cream onto the
skin afterwards will help remoisturize the skin, and close the
cracks. Drink lots of water too.
I have a lipoma on my
back, from the period of my mold exposure. If it starts to hurt, I
soak a washrag with hydrogen peroxide and use it as a HP pack. I
let it sit on the lipoma for a half hour or so. This puts enough
mold fighting soldiers into the area to keep it in check. It also
thins the blood in the area, allowing more oxygenated blood to flow
freely. I'll probably have it removed soon.
You can also rub hydrogen
peroxide all over your skin to kill off mold and microbes on the
skin of other parts of your body.
I have used a nasal spray
made from 20% hydrogen peroxide and 80% distilled water, to kill
off mold spores inhaled into my nose and nasal cavities during the
day. I used a nasal spray bottle which mists the solution into the
nose, inhaling it deep into the nasal cavities at the same time as
spraying it. It will make your eyes water. You can mix it with a
lower % of hp if you like. It mists better if it is warmed to body
temperature before misting. Just put the bottle in your pocket for
awhile before using.
A special grade of
hydrogen peroxide can also be put directly into the blood stream
using an IV, by a trained medical practionor, of course. This is a
controversial procedure. But, I have seen it be amazingly effective
at killing infections, high levels of mold and other invasive
microbes. It has the potential for a dramatic reversal of
degenerative health symptoms. But, all physiological conditions
must be considered in your consultation with the trained medical
practitionor.
**** I feel it is
important to not use hydrogen peroxide or, any other solution or
drug, too often. Hydrogen peroxide is a sterilant, killing all
microbes, even some needed by your body. A periodic jolt can be an
effective assist for your body. Like all drugs, hydrogen peroxide
is manufatured naturally inside the human body, to assist the
immune system in fighting invading microbes. When it is received
from an outside source on a regular basis, natural production of it
reduces or shuts down. This is a very important fact to remember
regarding drugs too.
Athletes
Foot - Athletes foot is a fungal condition. I
have soaked my feet in hydrogen peroxide for 20-30 minutes, every
few days, to get rid of it. If it is bubbling, it is killing
microbes. Sometimes you can get sharp nerve reactions to it's
use.
Foods &
Diet
Water
- The most important
substance you take into your body is water. This is
even more important for mold exposure patients. Mold sucks the
moisture out of your body for it's own use, growth and survival.
This needs to be replaced in addition to regular hydration. You can
live longer without food than you can live without water. Water is
the other way your body is supplied with oxygen (H2O). Addequate
amounts of oxygen is required in order for the cells and tissues to
stay generative and live. Our bodies are 60-90% water. Without it
we are just a shriveled up pile of skin and
bones.
The crystal structure of
water can actually be altered by the energy from our thoughts,
prayer, meditation, and other forms of spiritual discipline. This
is very significant since we are 60-90% water. Even more so now it
is realized there is a physiological connection between our
thoughts and our bodies. They appear to be triggers of intention to
our subconscious communication system. Like commands to be carried
out by our body's systems. So, be careful what you think. Think
positive, visualize how you want it to be, and practice your
spiritual beliefs with a strong belief and a strong
conviction.
Alcohol - Alcohol
is a molded product. They age, ferment grains into beer, and fruit
into wine. The mold of yeast is often used to mold the product
faster. You are basically drinking a bunch of mold. Adding more
mold to your system, especially when the level of various ingested
and inhaled molds, and other fungals, is already high, further
upsets the fungal/bacterial balance within the body. I believe it
is the mycotoxic effects which cause the 'high'. The effects of
alcohol on the human body are very similar to the effects of toxic
molds on the human body. Just that the sudden increase in symptoms
from drinking alcohol, goes away after awhile.
Cheese - Cheese
curd is aged to make various cheeses. Mild for a shorter time.
Sharp for a longer time. Anything aged is a molded product, which
adds to the level of the mold brew accumulating inside your body. I
like cheese. So, I just reduce the amount of cheese I eat. We're
taliking about mold reduction here, to bring the body into
fungal/bacterial balance.
Meat - Most of the meat sold in stores comes from
cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys which are grown under
hygeinically undesirable circumstances. The conditions in the feed
lots are conducive to various bacterial infections. To counter
this, farmers have been routinely giving them antibiotics as a
preventative measure. This creares two serious
problems.
One,
microbes are living organisms living in a 'small world', where the
distance between them and the nodes where genetic material is
exchanged and adjustments are made is very short, much like inside
computers. This allows them to adjust to their environmental
conditions and evolve much quicker than humans. They are becoming
increasingly resistant to the effects of the antibiotics used by
the farmers. There has been a semi successful effort by The Union
of Concerned Scientists to get the chicken producers to stop using
antibiotics which are also used for humans.
Two, when we eat this meat
those antibiotics, along with their resistance to antibiotics, is
ingested into our body, and it's gastrointestinal system. More
microbes to upset the fungal/bacterial balance. And, more microbes
for our cleaning systems to try to clean from our body.
Chlorophyll &
Chlorophyllin - Mold is non-chlorophyll in
nature. Chlorophyll makes things grow. This counters the efforts of
mold as it decomposes, degenerates and breaks down all biological
material to their basic elements, and recycles them back to Mother
Earth, from whence they came. Chlorophyll generates. Mold
degenerates. Chlorophyllin has been proved to reduce by 50%
the absorption of aflatoxins, one of the mycotoxins produced by
mold in foods. As a result, it reduced liver cancer by 50% in that
Oregon State University / John Hopkins trial of a China population
with a high incidence rate of liver cancer. I believe, from my own
experiences with using it, that it also is effective against other
mycotoxins produced by various toxic molds.
I try to take a 100mg
capsule of chlorophyll/chlorophyllin three times a day, as they did
in the trial. This saturates the organs. Be warned, everything
coming out will be greenish. I also try to put a 3mg drop of
chlorphyll/chlorophyllin concentrate into each glass of water I
drink throughout the day. Make sure you are not allergic to the
plant that particular chlorophyll/chlorophyllin is made from. Check
the label for it's source.
Garlic
- Mold does not seem to like garlic. So, I take garlic capsules
each day, and add garlic to many dishes.
Yogurt &
Probiotics - When your body has high levels of
mold and other fungi upsetting the fungal/bacterial balance of your
body, action is required. Reduction of additional mold and fungi
from inhalation and ingestion is very important. At the same time
you can increase the GOOD bacteria level by consuming a good yogurt
or other probiotic. Once you reachieve proper fungal/bacterial
balance they will keep each other in check. Then, you can work to
bring both of them down to a lower level together, at the same
time, by using chlorophyll/chlorophyllin and hydrogen
peroxide.
Sugar Products - Avoid
sugar products. These sugar carbohydrates feed the mold and other
fungi in your body. They love to feed on them to help them grow and
multiply inside your body. This depletes your body of energy, and
leaves you craving sugar products. Fight the urge to eat sugar
products. Fill the void with good carbohydrates like green
vegetables and other chlorophyll rich carbs.
Drugs
Aspirin - Aspirin thins the blood.
This is why it can be used to help prevent heart attacks and
strokes. The thinnner blood can flow around blockages in the
circulatory system. An aspirin a day can help the needed oxygenated
blood to flow around the immune
complexes which often block the smaller blood
capillaries.
Antibiotics - Most antibiotics
are made from various molds. Penicillin is made from penicillium,
etc. The antibiotic is sent in to kill off the bacterial infection.
The problem is that it also kills off the good bacteria needed by
your body. This throws the body out of fungal/bacterial balance.
When the body is in fungal/bacterial balance the fungi and bacteria
keep each other in check. If either becomes quantitatively and/or
qualitatively too much stronger, they will cause infection. If it
is necessary to take an antibiotic, let it run it's course. Then
take probiotics to bring your body back into fungal/bacterial
balance. Balance plays a huge role in all the operating systems of
the human body functioning properly.
Birth Control
Pills - Some birth control pills use molds. (It has
been awhile since I studied this one. Will elaborate later. Feel
free to send me an email with links to information on this
one.)
