Black Mold Poisoning

I also believe those who have been PERSONALLY AFFECTED by Mold have much more of a "passion" for this subject, over say "those that may have read a study or two"

It seems the "like" function seems to reflect "poster popularity" over much else.

Meh

I have been ill with ME for a year. All the classic symptoms.

I just found a huge area of black mold behind my refrigerator. Had some guys come in, and it turns out the mold is everywhere. I was living in this place for 2 years although moved out 5 months ago to live with my parents. Could it be possible I have some type of black mold poisioning?

This thread will be worth reading for the OP: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/inde...overing-residential-toxic-mold-exposure.4798/

As per studies re mould lol

Shute, I am still waiting for the study that scientifically validates that I have CFS/ME!!!

I was told by a prominent Australian CFS/ME specialist 'mould is bad news stay away from it' he did not specify as to which type... as he did not need to :)

That would appear to be a huge "MAY" as Martial later eludes to himself.

I would not rely on any study randomly dredged up, against all the work Dr Shoemaker has done over the course of his life --> Dr Dietrickt Klighardt has called Dr Shoemaker "a Genius" in relation to the work he has done in regards to Mold.

But I am sure there is some study out there to disprove that statement too!?


Can you provide I link to the Shoemaker study / statement you are referring too, where he says that mold which is black in color is always or very likely to be toxic.

Because the sources I found all said that there us no particular relation between the black color and toxicity.
