I have decided to start this group in Adlandpro again.. My group on Facebook has grown to well over 500 members but I seem to be at a plateau now and we are not growing as fast as i would like.. Toxic mold is destroying lives all over the world and it is one of the least understood causes of illness in existence. I hope that you will join us here as we explore the mysteries of mold and I hope that you will share this information with friends and family. If you are ill and having a difficult time finding a diagnosis or a treatment that helps you,, it may very well be mold that is making you sick. Mold illness will often be misdiagnosed and treated like other illnesses like lyme disease,, lupus,,, MS,, and a host of other illnesses and this could really be detrimental to your health.. For instance,, 2 of the most common treatments for symptoms of mold illness are antibiotics and steroids like prednisone.. Here,, you will learn how these 2 medications can be harmful to your health and how to avoid doing more harm to your health.. Anyone is welcome to begin a new thread on this forum as long as it doesn't get too far off topic.. I doubt if it will be a problem but,, we will not tolerate abuse in any fashion. This group is about caring ,compassion and sharing things that could help others live a better life.. Keep in mind our motto here as you make posts in this group.. " If you are not reaching for a solution, then you may be a part of the problem ". So,,, Welcome Everyone. I am looking forward to a caring and sharing experience here and I hope you are as well..

I am unsure of what I can add that will be of value, but you can count that I will reading and favoriting this forum.

The mold issue is SO important, yet, like long term Lyme disease, the established medical profession is in denial. Meanwhile, there are a lot of people who are suffering from mold related illnesses.

I did some checking into it, because the doctors and specialists could not come up with a diagnosis for my multitude of symptoms. I discovered that it is the toxins given off by mold when it is actively feeding that are toxic, which means that simply covering up a mold problem with paint something is not going to fix it.

Eventually, it turned out I do have Lyme disease, and I am being successfully treated by a Naturopath who can prescribe antibiotics as well as natural products to boost my immune system and flush out the toxins from the antibiotics and bacterial proteins.

But a lot of people who think they have Lyme disease, as you have so accurately pointed out, may be suffering from mold related illness(es).

I would really like to post some of your information on my Lyme website at http://www.lymeclinics.com to make people who think they might have Lyme disease aware of mold related illnesses.

I am trying with that website to make people who think they have Lyme aware that there are a number of other things that might be the problem other than Lyme disease. There is no point in treating the wrong problem.

Thanks for a great forum, Bill, and please keep it up. Let me know if you have a blog article to post on my site.

God bless,

Dave
