No Ordinary Diagnosis - Recovery From Toxic Mold Exposure

Her name is Tammy and she's a Certified Medical Assistant as well as a college instructor. Her stature is petite but the amount of knowledge in her mind is as vast as the ocean.

As a medical professional, Tammy wants to educate everyone about this covert and potentially deadly disease: toxic mold exposure, which is no ordinary diagnosis. "It morphs in the absence of knowledgeable, prompt medical intervention." She wants you to avoid the grim lesson she learned firsthand.

In the interview, Tammy spoke with authority. "If chronic illnesses are ignored, it can be deadly..." Her voice softened but her focus strengthened. "It seemed like I was a magnet for viruses and bacteria."

"A few of the warning signs include illnesses such as sinus infections, migraine headaches, eye irritations, sore throats, and extreme fatigue. Medical treatments are available but it's a slow process. The treatments aren't generally covered by insurance companies but how can you place a monetary value on human life?"

She paused to moisten her throat with a sip of water. "Recovery isn't for the faint of heart. It feels like you're climbing out of a deep, dark hole. But, it's possible."

When she spoke, the smile on her face waned as she recounted how her son almost died from it. "I had to sell one of our cars to pay for his medical treatments. His lungs were collapsing... The doctor who tested and treated us said, "You have to walk away from your home, from everything."

Tears welled in her eyes. "All we had were the clothes on our back. Everything in our home was contaminated... with mold."

I asked her, "How did you know what to do?"

A few years ago she'd attended a medical conference and learned about the toxicity of mold disease. "They shared documented information about toxic mold exposure. I'd heard of it before but I didn't know how it affected people. When the speaker worked through the slide presentation about symptoms of toxic mold exposure, the thought occurred to me that both my son and I had every one of those symptoms!"

That evening Tammy recorded her thoughts in a journal. "Could this be the root cause of our ongoing illnesses? I have to find out. I decided to dig deeply into those handouts."

She took a deep breath. "I did a lot of research. I even ordered a book called Mold Warriors and then purchased another book about toxic mold. I read everything. I found blogs about toxic mold and subscribed for updates. Collectively, it looked like Mt. Everest but I wanted to learn.

Tammy leaned forward in her chair. "I wanted to understand why we'd been so sick. All of our symptoms fit perfectly together. It was like finding the missing puzzle piece for a jigsaw puzzle, but our lives were in dire jeopardy. I was compelled to learn about the damaging effects of mold on the human body. There had to be an answer for those unrelenting illnesses. I'm certain there was a reason and a purpose for me to attend that specific conference."

She sat back in her chair. "I knew one day there would be others exposed to toxic mold and by being well-informed, it could forever change many lives."
