HELLO EVERYONE,
I am new to this site and I must say that the information flowing is tremendous.
I never knew that mold could create the loose then tight teeth symptoms spoke of here.
I also had the loose teeth then tight again situation although the causeation was at that time a 3 1/2 year natural gas leak in my apartment. There were MANY symptoms related to that leak as I know it, it is just a matter of proving it, this all started in 1996. Leaks were fixed in 2000. Many life and death scenerios were lived, life support, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, cervical cancer, hair fell out(no chemo), skin turned gray, lesions that have no known etiology, unusual cbc results, sub-arakanoid hemmorage with a helicoptor ride in the middle of the night in a blizzard and then the required thirteen hour brain surgery…
NOW from 2005 until 2010, lived in 9 places that were infested with mold, although I did not have knowledge of the mold in each place for several months each time. From my knowledge of mold I know some was black, white, and green, the last place had all three. I do NOT know the technical names of them I just know what they did to the body. Teeth, loose then tight, skin and lips turned gray again, lesions again, although different in their growing and veining out from main, lungs dissolving, NO D.N.A. found in blood to do a specialized JAK2 Mutations test for a rare blood cancer, teeth came off and also fell out, could hardly stand or walk, all the breathing problems while in the leak were brought back.
ENOUGH, out of all that for 2 years now and just trying to become healthier and live. I changed the way I eat 2 years ago and am Gluten Free and causin free now. I still have major bouts of candida growth and was looking for knowledge in this area when I came across mold-help and a phone number. I called yesterday and the woman was very short toned and seemed MAD. She said that I needed a mold free diet and to buy the book from their website about mold free diet, I ask if I could get the info from the internet. BUY THE BOOK, we sell it to fund the foundation. ” I get no salary for what I do”……I do hope her day today is wonderful and BLESSED.
This A.M., after saying Good Morning to GOD…wwhhhoooo,I’M ALIVE, I heard look up mold free diet…..HERE you are. The info needed. THANK YOU!
Now a question for all those who have experienced illness from mold.
If it was a long term exposure, was a DETOX period noted and if so was it worse then or during the exposure itself?
And yes… is it mold or mould, or both depending on which side of the pond you live.
I hope you all have a wonderful Blessed feeling well day! Mary

Heat is generally bad for eczema, but salt is good, as is sun. I went on a sunny snorkeling holiday winter and it cleared up until I got back (but took a while to come back and has never been as bad since as before that holiday). Perhaps minerals are also good.

I’ve had similar experiences with eczema – breaks out in the same places, but changes slowly over time. It seems to improve to a tolerable level for most people after a year or two. I’ve not been able to relate it to diet, but it does seem to relate to dust. That’s just me. Look at air-borne, food and contact (e.g. nickle) triggers.

Salt is a biocide. As such it will also kill the beneficial bacteria/yeast in the small intestine which comprise up to 70% of the immune system. If there is a microflora imbalance it will likely persist without appropriate dietary modifications. This requires that one is persistent and vigilant in their efforts to discover their specific sensitivities/IgG allergies. Properly followed elimination diets can help with uncovering hidden food sensitivities in order to eliminate the GI inflammation which can result in malabsorption and the subsequent overgrowth of pathogens (with GI swelling pathogens get the nutrients not you). Of course if one has been exposed to antibiotics (which includes pesticide residues) you might have to face the fact that chronic imbalance will follow you forever. As an adoptee raised exclusively on formula I have been dealt a crappy hand, er digestive/nervous system. Sensitivities are the rule not the exception for me. My mold/yeast sensitivity is such that when exposed to any foods that have perceptible levels the ligaments which anchor my teeth will weaken allowing me to move them ever so slightly with my tongue. I am wondering if anyone else experienced this phenomenon. Note: it has nothing to do with chewing hard foods as I will experience the phenomenon with yogurt or eggs as well.
