Where are the stitches?

By mold recovery 4/23/2009 , , , 4 comments
Our 9-year-old son Colin cut himself with scissors last week. He was working on a duct tape project. He has a cowboy hat covered with black duct tape. We went to the ER and while a cut is more complicated with a diabetic (his blood sugar dropped dramatically), we made it out with three stitches.

His cut healed in 7 days. We could see the progress on a daily basis. It healed before our very eyes.

It's the opposite with biotoxin illness. It's all invisible. The organisms that create the havoc are microscopic. They invade our systems while we are unaware. We have no knowledge of their life-threatening activity until we experience symptoms. Even then the symptoms are dismissed or ignored. No blood oozing everywhere to take us to the ER.

There are no stitches for the recovery either. This is a devastating reality. No quick fix. I want a doctor to stitch us up and be done with it. I'd like to return to normal life. I don't want to do any more research. I'm tired of making decisions.

My fatigue brings me back to the simple thought that has carried me this far. I will not give up.

In the words of Thomas Paine:
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

    Hi Andrea,
    I am so sorry for what you guys have been through. It seems like an absolute nightmare! I am sure it is only by God's grace that you have survived. I had heard bits and pieces of your story on Chris' show, and was finally beginning to put the story together when, in March heard your interview on the program. I have a question. Some friends of mine live in Russia. They are currently building a new home, but right now they live in an apartment and the boys' room has mold in it. The landlord can't seem to get rid of it. They have had a lot of illnesses over the past 8-10 months, but recently the youngest boy, Matt (2 year old) has been diagnosed by a doctor in their city with Autism. (He doesn't speak yet) When his mother to him to specialists in Moscow, they said he doesn't have autism. Apparently he has tested positive for some high levels of mercury in his system. I heard you say that your son, at times, showed characteristics of autism. Do you think that Matt's problem could be from the mold? Do you know if the mercury levels could have anything to do with that? Also, if you could tell me what kind of detox program are your children going through. I am trying to help them get some answers. Thanks, Julie

    Hi Andrea,
    I am so sorry for what you guys have had to go through. I heard bits and pieces of your story on Chris' show and was slowly beginning to put the pieces together, when I heard your interview on the program. I have a question for you. I have some friends in Russia, who are in the process of building a new house. The apartment they live in now has mold in it in the boys' bedroom. They have struggled especially over the winter months with a lot of sickness, but recently Matt, the two-year old was diagnosed with autism by a doctor in their city. (He doesn't speak yet). When his mother took him to specialists in Moscow, they said he doesn't have autism. Apparently he has tested positive for high levels of mercury in his system. I heard you say that your son sometimes showed characteristics of autism. I was wondering if you think that Matt's problem could be from the mold. Do you think the mercury levels would have anything to do with that? Also, could I ask what type of detox your children are going through? And finally, do you have any suggestions as to where they should look for help. Thank you for your time. We are praying for you guys. Julie

    Julie,
    I will get back with you on this. I have a couple of thoughts but I need to research something first.
    Could you send me your e-mail?

    Julie,
    Here are my thoughts. There are several overlaps with autism including the deficient levels of glutathione. No matter the diagnosis..glutathione could help. We nebulize glutathione. It is also available over the counter through a website called readisorb. I have not tried this version of glutathione.
    The other thought I have is that mold can impact the brain in a variety of ways including brain development. It could also be the mercury or a combination of the two issues. No matter, I have been assured numerous times that symptoms from mold exposure are reversible. And I have heard numerous success stories of those who have de-toxed their child of mercury. It sounds to me like she is on the right road.
