Medical Treatment for Mold Exposure,Mold Illnesses and the Symptoms of Mold Exposure
The National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease is the nation’s most unique medical facility treating people for the symptoms and diseases caused by exposure to environmental toxins and their by-products, specializing in detoxification from mold exposure.
Many components and microbials in the environment emit toxins, or poisons, that can affect human health. Such as asbestos, lead, mold, fungi, bacteria, PCB’s, heavy metals, pesticides, aspartame, and groundwater chemical contaminates.
When a person is poisoned by a toxic substance they will usually exhibit multiple symptoms that to most treating physicians makes no sense and usually winds up in misdiagnosis. The most common misdiagnoses are Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Asthma, Sarcoidosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The National Treatment Centers for Environmental Disease uses a team healthcare concept, which allows the patient access to multiple disciplines in healthcare, such as MD’s, Doctors of Internal Medicine, Naturopathic and Homeopathic physicians, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, Nutritionists, alternative modalities and therapies. Our patient recovery rate has been reported as one of the best in the country for these types of environmental exposures.
What are the risks associated with mold after a natural disaster or severe weather.
After natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, excess moisture and standing water contribute to the growth of mold in homes and other buildings.
If you have been flooded, mold may be present and may be health risk to your family. What are the risks associated with mold after a natural disaster or severe weather. After natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, excess moisture and standing water contribute to the growth of mold in homes and other buildings.
If your home has been flooded, mold may be present and may be a health risk for your family. Asthma, allergies, or other breathing conditions may increase your sensitivity to mold. People with immune suppression, such as HIV infection, cancer patients taking chemotherapy, and organ transplant recipients are more susceptible to mold infections.
Removal and cleaning are important because even dead mold may cause allergic reactions. If you or your family members have health problems after exposure to mold, contact a ehap certified laboratory to get specific testing for mold exposure. Clean up dry out the building within 24 to 48 hours to help prevent mold growth. Open doors and windows and use fans to dry out the building. Point fans outside, not inside. Clean wet items and surfaces with a biocide100 cleaner and clean the whole property with a mold fogger or mold bomb. You may recognize mold by sight – are the walls and ceiling discolored, do they show signs of mold growth or water damage; or by smell- do you smell a bad odor, such as a musty, earthy smell or a foul stench?
If there is mold growth in your home, you should clean up the mold and fix any water problem, such as leaks in roofs, walls, or plumbing. Controlling moisture in your home is the most critical factor for preventing mold growth. To remove mold growth from hard surfaces, use commercial biocide products. Use a stiff brush on rough surfaces, such as concrete, When in doubt, take it out. All porous, non-cleanable items that have been wet for more than 48 hours should be photographed / catologued and removed permanently from the building.
Carpeting, carpet padding, upholstery, wallpaper, drywall, floor and ceiling tiles, insulation material, some clothing, leather, paper, wood, and food are all considered non-cleanable. If you plan to be inside the building for a while or if you plan to clean up mold, you should buy an N95 mask at your local home supply store and wear it while in the building. Make sure you follow instructions on the package for fitting the mask tightly to your face. We hope this guidance has been of use:

Mold Sickness
Different species of fungi have probably been present in
human suffering since the dawn of time. However, it wasn’t until relatively
recently that the scientific community has identified mold and other fungi as a
possible cause of human’s adverse health effects. Today, certain fungi and mold
are known to the scientific and medical world to be responsible for allergies,
hypersensitivity pneumonitis, humidifier fever, infections, mushroom poisoning,
mycotoxicoses, mucous membrane irritation, and many other ailments.

Have you been diagnosed with:Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Lung and Sinus Infections
Mold Exposure is perhaps the single most misdiagnosed illness in the United States.
Some physicians will tell you Mold illness can’t be diagnosed, or there is no such thing. If you’ve been given this information, it’s time for a new Doctor.
Mold Exposure and the Common Misdiagnoses
Have you been diagnosed with? Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Lung and Sinus Infections, Fatigue Syndrome or feel sick and there simply is no diagnosis? Mold Exposure is perhaps the single most misdiagnosed illness in the United States.
Some physicians will even tell you Mold illness cannot be diagnosed, or there is no such thing. If you have been given the same or similar information, it may be time for you to get a new Doctor.
The Reasons are Simple
When you walk into your local doctor’s office they treat you, and the symptoms you brought with you into their office. Mold is an environmental issue. Unless you are seeing an Environmental Toxicologist most doctors do not understand that the actual place where you live, work, or where you are spending most of your time can be the cause of your illness.
When you remove yourself from that environment you may feel better. Many times we describe our symptoms to the doctor as “it comes and goes”. The fact is it did not come and go, you came and went. The average family physician is not trained in environmental sciences or related illnesses, a tragic result from their lack of experience can be your misdiagnoses.
Common Mold Exposure Misdiagnoses
Fibromyalgia
Doctors don’t know what causes fibromyalgia. Current thinking centers around a theory called “Central
Sensitization”. This theory has to do with sensitivity to pain and brain signals. Other thoughts concerning the causation of fibromyalgia are: Sleep disturbances, Injury, Infection, Abnormalities of the autonomic (sympathetic) nervous system and Changes in muscle metabolism.
The symptoms of Mold Exposure are the mirror images reflecting the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Many people misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia have found relief when treated for Mold Exposure.
Asthma & Emphysema
With no warning, suddenly some people are diagnosed with Asthma. Why they have it, where it came from, and why inflicted so suddenly, no one knows.
What happens in Emphysema and Asthma?
An inflammation or spastic closure of airways. Sometimes destroying the fragile walls of the lungs the air sacs. As a result. the bronchioles collapse, and the air becomes trapped in the airs sacs over stretching them and interfering with your ability to exhale or inhale.
Many physicians are still in the dark ages regarding respiratory fungal infections. Many still believe only the elderly or immuno compromised people with AIDS and ARC can get fungal infections. This seemed to be the standard thought fifteen years ago, today research has shown differently.
The fact is that Mold is a living organism and that when introduced into the human body through ingestion or inhalation easily incubates and grows within the human body. People who have been diagnosed with both Asthma and Emphysema have reported to have fully recovered after being treated for Mold exposure.
Exposure to Mold can and does affect people differently. Mold can enter into the human body through several different pathways. People are exposed to Mold by eating contaminated foods; mold spores can enter into a person’s sinuses and lungs through normal respiration or breathing in Mold contaminated buildings.People who have smoked hand rolled cigars and marijuana that was Mold contaminated have reported contracting respiratory fungal infections. Human hands touching Mold contaminated surfaces and then touching other body parts, i.e. eyes, lips, nose etc… are documented as the direct cause of blindness and other Mold related infections.
While the long term health effects of Mold remain a topic of debate the fact remains that Mold creates allergic reactions within the human body. These allergic reactions are somewhat minimized by som edefense lawyers. However, the fact remains allergies can be deadly as many people whom are allergic to bee stings die each year.
Adults and children with food allergies die each year or become seriously ill. By multiple manufacturers advertising “Hypoallergenic” products, this alone is overwhelming evidence of the National concerns regarding serious allergic reactions by the human body when exposed to certain substances. Mold allergies are real, and the adverse health affects from “Mold Fine Particulate” to the human body can be devastating.
Why getting tested for mold exposure is a good idea!
Does it seem that no one will help you, or no one believes you? Testing for mold in the human body can change everything. If you are seeking legal damages or just want people to understand your mold sickness is real, you will need to be tested.
Testing for Mold Sickness in the Human Body
Why Get Tested ?
Because Tests Can Prove Your Complaints of Mold Sickness are Legitimate
There’s a Million Reasons to Be Tested, What’s Important to You?
Fungal Infections Just Don’t Go Away, They Can do Damage for Years to Come
Does it seem that no one will help you, or no one believes you? This test can change everything. If you are seeking legal damages or just want people to understand your mold sickness is real, you will need to be tested.
There are three key and very specific things you should do when trying to prove Mold damages. Proving you have Abnormal levels of Mold in your body is the #1 thing you’ll need to prove your Mold complaint is legitimate, medical testing will help validate your health conditions.
1. Document the cause of the mold growth. What caused it, and where it came from.
Most people use photos and contractor’s estimates for this.
2. You must always prove it is actually Mold in your home, or in your environment.
Photographs alone can not provide you with what you will need to prove you actually have Mold. You probably will need to hire a Mold Certified Professional to take your Mold samples. You should get a professional Mold inspection report and a microbiology laboratory report confirming it is Mold. Just because you say it is Mold no one will believe you as you have no scientific training regarding the identification of Mold or training in the collection of Mold samples. This is why a mold home test kit may not provide you with the documentation you really need as the knowledge of the person taking the Mold samples is always questioned.
3. Prove that your body has been exposed to Mold.
You can say you don’t feel well all day long, and tell people Mold is making you sick. But unless you prove your body has been exposed to Mold what proof do you have?
Again you will need scientific evidence which documents you have Mold in your body at “ABNORMAL” levels. This is when people start to listen to you regarding your claims about Mold Sickness and begin to take things seriously.
We have been informed by many Law Firms that when the blood test results come back showing elevated levels of mold in the human body they are able to settle their cases very quickly and for a lot more money.
