These are great videos, and I’m hooked! I’m not a health care professional, but I am very interested in health care, natural healing, the effects of toxins and mold on the body and brain. I have good reason to be watching these videos because I was very ill and now my grown son, who lives with his father in a house with mold, has slid into a neuro-psychosis. I’m wondering if you have more information about this, and/or know where I can tell my story so others are aware of what happens when you’re exposed to bacteria, viruses, and especially mold. I’d like to be a guinea pig and help others with the information I’ve gleaned in the past years.
I liked health information growing up and throughout my life, and grew a garden, hiked, and was close to nature. I think this helped me cope and gave me information that I would need in the years to come!
This is not a pity party. I’m offering some information that may fit a certain typeset so people can use it to put pieces of their own puzzles together. I want information and I wa t to offer it. But, I’m not sure why I’m writing this to you. Just a hunch. 💫
Here’s why:
At age 48, I had a breast augmentation (INSANELY!), and immediately became extremely ill (and still am, but not to the point I was) and in chronic lumbar pain due to saline breast implants. This went on for over 12 years until I found out about this illness. It had damaged every system in my body, and I was diagnosed with about!10 autoimmune diseases that overlapped, continual infections of every kind (including h-pylori, tonsillitis, etc.).. The Sjogren’s, I think destroyed my organic and I had 3 major surgeries within 5 months, got well enough to have my implants removed, almost died on the table, contracted pneumoniosa aeruginosa from the hospital, and I wonder if it’s still in my body. I still have flares of severe RA, Sjogren’s where my eyes were ulcerated for two years, etc., especially when I am exposed to toxins, even in mulch when gardening.
Looking back and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, I know I had Scarlet Fever as a baby and had strep throat about 3 or 4 times a year until I reached my 20s. Also, as a child and growing up, I was fatigued, didn’t feel well, and always had a “tire of pain around my waist”. I remember having a year where I had boils all over my stomach, a bout of what I think was Sjögren’s (My eyes were extremely dry and I was told I had pink eye and a tic because I was blinking so much. I also had severe leg aches growing up until I was in my 20’s. Things keep popping up in my mind that we’re strange. I had flat feet, and then had my leg in a cast for a long time in 2nd grade. I’m not sure why. I did break my leg when I was 1 1/2 years old and had a cast. My teeth got very bad as an early teenager, but I always chewed gum. I was extremely nervous because I had no self confidence since I was growing up in a chaotic, alcoholic family. I tried to do all the work and I’m only 4’ 9” and very tiny.
I know that mold had a lot to do with my problems. Our basement flooded all the time in the house I grew up in, and I’m sure it wasn’t completely remediated; hence, the strep throat.
In addition, I was exposed to a lot of toxins at the school I taught at for 40 years. Then, I moved to a condo backing up to a wetlands, that was actually a swamp. Immediately, my eye started dropping, and I developed Sjogren’s within a few months, had thrush, and my symptoms skyrocketed.
Narcolepsy, sleep apnea, Raynaud’s, became the norm. I found mold about a year after I moved in and tried to get rid of it, but I knew nothing about mold at the time. I found out about it through the breast implant information, had my condo tested, and it was 100% positive for various molds.
Is there any connection to all of this that I have t found yet? I spent SO
much money, lost my career, my home, relationships, and
family members who thought I was on drugs because I had brain gig so bad. Everyone gave up on me, or turned against me, and 3 years later after explant, I am way better, but still feel like something is wrong inside my body. Can you offer any suggestions as to where I can go, or where I can take my son to be tested for latent infections and mold?
