Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disgracefully, many of the sickest people on the planet have been almost wholly ignored by the medical community.The mold avoidance approach described in this book was developed with the goal of helping these extremely ill and stubbornly treatment-resistant individuals (often described as having myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic Lyme, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, Gulf War illness, POTS or toxic mold illness).The underlying premise of the approach presented here is that many or all of these individuals suffer from a severe hyperreactivity to certain kinds of mold toxins. This approach suggests that insofar as individuals are reacting to very low levels of these mold toxins, decreasing exposures to a level that does not prompt a reaction will allow movement toward wellness to be achieved.Both of the authors of this book were very sick with this kind of illness for many years and have become mostly recovered as a result of this approach.During recent years, many other individuals who were very ill with this sort of disease also have experienced major improvements as a result of following this approach.This book is designed to share the basics of the approach with a broader audience, so that more sufferers can learn about it and decide if it might be worth pursuing.
Download or read book Through the Shadowlands written by Julie Rehmeyer and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julie Rehmeyer felt like she was going to the desert to die. Julie fully expected to be breathing at the end of the trip―but driving into Death Valley felt like giving up, surrendering. She’d spent years battling a mysterious illness so extreme that she often couldn’t turn over in her bed. The top specialists in the world were powerless to help, and research on her disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, was at a near standstill. Having exhausted the plausible ideas, Julie turned to an implausible one. Going against both her instincts and her training as a science journalist and mathematician, she followed the advice of strangers she’d met on the Internet. Their theory―that mold in her home and possessions was making her sick―struck her as wacky pseudoscience. But they had recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome as severe as hers. To test the theory that toxic mold was making her sick, Julie drove into the desert alone, leaving behind everything she owned. She wasn’t even certain she was well enough to take care of herself once she was there. She felt stripped not only of the life she’d known, but any future she could imagine. With only her scientific savvy, investigative journalism skills, and dog, Frances, to rely on, Julie carved out her own path to wellness―and uncovered how shocking scientific neglect and misconduct had forced her and millions of others to go it alone. In stunning prose, she describes how her illness transformed her understanding of science, medicine, and spirituality. Through the Shadowlands brings scientific authority to a misunderstood disease and spins an incredible and compelling story of tenacity, resourcefulness, acceptance, and love.

Book excerpt: Whether it's the slimy black spots on your shower curtain, the fuzzy white patches on your basement floor, or the slick orange film that forms on your kitchen drain, household mold is more than unsightly. In some cases, mold in your home can make you sick, especially if you have allergies or asthma. Whether or not you're allergic to molds, mold exposure can irritate your eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs. Here's what you can do to combat mold problems, and take care of yourself and your home. In the past few years, there's been a growing awareness of mold illness, otherwise known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). In this article we review the differences between molds, mold spores, and mycotoxins, and we explain why some individuals are more susceptible to CIRS/mold illness than others. We also review symptoms of CIRS and discuss why CIRS is often misdiagnosed. GET YOUR COPY TODAY BY SCROLLING UP AND CLICKING BUY NOW TO GET YOUR COPY TODAY

Download or read book Mold Illness Diet written by Jeffrey Winzant and published by No Fluff Publishing . This book was released on 2021-09-18 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings in time can get water-damaged, most especially in parts of the world where rain is common and the humidity is notably high. As a result of such damages, microorganisms can live in these affected areas and eventually cause health problems if not managed promptly. These microorganisms may include but are not limited to, bacteria and fungi, with the latter being able to produce mycotoxins in the systems of those who got exposed to it. Fungi, like molds, can produce such toxins and lead to a wide array of chronic symptoms, ranging from a simple headache down to severe autoimmune conditions. Although mycotoxins most commonly enter the body by ingesting mold-contaminated foods, they may also occur through the skin or be dispersed in the air to be inhaled by unsuspecting victims. These toxins can end up causing an illness to one’s body. This condition is known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) or more commonly referred to as mold illness. Molds rely on moisture to grow and reproduce through minuscule cells called mold spores. These microscopic spores are so light in weight that they can be carried by air. This means that we are exposed to them all the time but are considered harmless in small amounts. The real dilemmas start when they attach themselves to moist surfaces like ceilings, walls, and floors to grow in significant amounts enough to be health hazardous. There are plenty of mold types and until now, there is still no particular study that can tell exactly how many species there are. What we know for sure is that not all species of mold are harmful, but some of them may cause serious damage to our health. The effects of mold exposure in the body are often mistaken into something else, but luckily, there has been a growing awareness spreading in public and medical communities. Effective treatments for mold illness have been made available nowadays, but what most are not aware of is that nutrition plays a key role in managing these conditions. If you want to know how nutrition can help treat mold illness, continue reading. In this guide, you will discover the following: ▪ What mold illness is and its symptoms ▪ Differences between mold illness and allergies ▪ How to test for mold illness ▪ The types of food to eat and to avoid ▪ 3-week step-by-step guide to follow a mold illness diet ▪ Sample recipes that you can follow for this diet
Download or read book Molding Simulation Theory and Practice written by Maw-Ling Wang and published by Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH Co KG. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical introductory guide to injection molding simulation is aimed at both practicing engineers and students. It will help the reader to innovate and improve part design and molding processes, essential for efficient manufacturing. A user-friendly, case-study-based approach is applied, enhanced by many illustrations in full color. The book is conceptually divided into three parts: Chapters 1–5 introduce the fundamentals of injection molding, focusing the factors governing molding quality and how molding simulation methodology is developed. As they are essential to molding quality, the rheological, thermodynamic, thermal, mechanical, kinetic properties of plastics are fully elaborated in this part, as well as curing kinetics for thermoset plastics. Chapters 6–11 introduce CAE verification of design, a valuable tool for both part and mold designers toward avoiding molding problems in the design stage and to solve issues encountered in injection molding. This part covers design guidelines of part, gating, runner, and cooling channel systems. Temperature control in hot runner systems, prediction and control of warpage, and fiber orientation are also discussed. Chapters 12–17 introduce research and development in innovative molding, illustrating how CAE is applied to advanced molding techniques, including co-/bi-Injection molding, gas-/water-assisted injection molding, foam injection molding, powder injection molding, resin transfer molding, and integrated circuit packaging. The authors come from the creative simulation team at CoreTech System (Moldex3D), winner of the PPS James L. White Innovation Award 2015. Several CAE case study exercises for execution in the Moldex3D software are included to allow readers to practice what they have learned and test their understanding.
