Hello all:
I'm Iris, the lady Bill told you about. Me and my husband Tlee were severely poisoned by toxic mold and the agent trichothecene..genetic testing even showed stachybotrys and aspergillus has diffused from our lungs into our white blood cells. It's been a real journey to say the least and every day is a struggle.
I'll post a profile later..but wanted to comment on the weight gain comment. I'm a small lady as you'll see in my photos..but this lady mentioned memory loss, other physical symtoms and weight gain.
When all this was going on..and it's been 4 years now, so things fluctuated..but when I was in this toxic home I remember I wore a size 6..over a few months time I noticed none of my clothes fit me..I went up to a size 12, and kept telling Drs. they insisted I ate too much..Well actually I don't eat much at all, I've had stomach surgery, and I was in such pain and so sick, I was nearly to the point of anorexia; of course they would not listen to me.
I lost all the weight again..but I was up and down. When I finally got a Dr. and I'd been diagnosed, my Dr. said the weight was all the toxins stored in my body...I'm small again now..but, Bill, you can have weight gain for no reason other than the mycotoxins.. I know that simply because it happened to me.
I look forward to working with each of you and Bill to get this issue of toxic mold to the public. So much is being covered up and a lot has to do with money and greed. just like asbestos...they would not admit it could destroy your health. Mycotoxins are multisystemic..can affect all the organs and we have many different symptoms..our genetic make up is not the same, nor is our level or type of exposures.. it breaks down the immune system, which can allow for other illnesses....
God bless each of you. I had a story on ABC and there will be another one about 2 other ladies that I found locally who were also poisoned by mold/mycotoxins..I'll keep you all posted. that should be later this week. Thanks for giving Bill and I your support.
