Am backing out if this one b/c just don't have the cognitive power to understand or discuss it. I apologize.

HLA results don't change your symptoms or experiences.I am going by how sick I am after breathing in black mold for 2.5 yrs through our A/C system.
It can't really, at this point. At least not in the ways which Shoemaker claims.The HLA test only confirmed what I already knew.
Odds are they do have one of the HLA types blamed by Shoemaker for causing various problems. 85% of Americans do, and that is based entirely on the prevalence rates of HLA types in Americans. And even if they don't - that doesn't disprove the data collected from the much larger sample.No one in my family or husbands family has blue eyes.
Your results are accurate. But the interpretations of those results based on Shoemaker's claims are completely unfounded.I think we just agree to disagree and this is just one test of many that I hope to have and I believe my results are accurate and if you want to refer to them as meaningless that is your prerogative.
Gingergrrl… I hope there's some light at the end of this long dark tunnel you and your family are going through.Please, God, stop tagging me into this thread. I do not know the science or what the words mean that you guys are using. I am asking sincere questions to learn about mold testing for non Caucasians in the hope of recovery for me and my entire family.
My insurance will not pay for my medications today and we are so far in debt from this mold experience I do not see a way out. I come here for help, not to argue about science or which ethnic groups these tests were made for. Please just take me out of this thread b/c we are at two different levels and I have no more energy to extend on this.
I am not mad, just completely defeated.
