Our Health Journey: Update

Update

The home fell through yesterday afternoon. We were surprised by this and disappointed. Today we're confident that it's best for all of us. I think we have found a vacation rental that would work for our immediate future. I continue to learn more than I ever intended about disappointment including the fact that there is , indeed, life after it.

One of my favorite quotes comes to mind: "Whatever Christ asks us to renounce, He offers in it's stead something better." ~E.G. White.

Looking forward to, "something better" along with you! :); February 12, 2009 10:35 AM

Things I have learned along the way that I hope help you:

Horopito, Olive Leaf Extract, Pau d'arco, Garlic, and Grapefruit Seed Extract are a few of the natural antifungals.
The importance of mold remediation is talked about in the Old Testament. It is clear in Leviticus 14 that mold is hazardous
Add borax and/or white vinegar and/or baking soda to your laundry. These are all excellent antifungal agents.
Chlorine bleach will not kill the toxins produced by mold. In fact, the chlorine makes the toxins more lipid soluble. The toxins then penetrate the skin more readily.
Ventilate your home whenever possible. If you have an opportunity to open a window even for an hour it is healthy. Stagnant air is like stagnant water.
In 1999 the Mayo Clinic released a study implicating fungus as the primary cause of chronic sinus infections. 96% of those studied showed high counts of mold spores in their nasal passages.
Do not ignore any water intrusion in your home.
