Glad you found Ann and Jon, Stephanie. Jon is very knowledgable and has been a big help to us, as has Ann. It's very hard dealing with toxic mold health issues,housing and getting to the bottom of what is devastating your life.. and often also chemical sensitivity which has really isolates me from the outside world. Keep hope, and I encourage you to download Ann's book and check out Jon's book and expertise as well. if I can be of any help or support to you or your family, I also truly know what you're going thru. God bless. Love, Iris

Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for adding your input on our blog! We are happy to hear from all who are affected by toxic mold exposure.

About 6 months ago I came to realize that all the symptoms I have been experiencing for the past 30 years have been due to my exposure to toxic mold. My exposure happened over a long period of time and I figured the funny symptoms I was having was just due to the aging process. It took me so long to discover the real truth. My story is available on my other website www.moldandme.com and it's a free downloadable ebook. Go and check it out. It explains a lot and also gives you a little about how I am healing myself.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email those to me and I'll do my best to answer them. If I can't answer them, then I'll refer to my husband who is a forensic industrial hygienist, who has solved hundreds of mold cases over the past 10 years.

Take care and try to take one day at a time.

Ann

Hello. I'm a small family of 3 also displaced from our home for over a week now. Feeling somewhat sane again and going thru the detox process with every day. I'm interested in talking to people about the similar experiences of mold exposure.

I've come a long way since last writing. I believe my healing process has brought me closer to being healthy than I ever thought possible.

I've resumed my healing massage sessions and foot detox and have now added a new therapy. This one is a process where my neck and lymph glands are massaged to help relieve the phlegm that fills my sinuses and slowly slides down the back of my throat. I've dealt with this for so many years I lost count! After only one of these targeted massages, I'm already feeling some relief. So, this is put on the list of necessary treatments for me.

What I have found is that listening to my body (higher self) is imperative. It tells me what the next step. If you would like to discuss this and find out how I do it, please respond and I would be more than happy to help any way I can.

Peace,
Ann

Thanks for sharing. So many lives are adversely affected by toxic mold. Most have no clue mold is even the culprit. I wrote an article a while back on things we've personally experienced and some things that we hear from others. We were both poisoned and bewteeen us I think we've had every symptom. Thanks for trying to help warn and eductae others. God bless. Iris

Hi,
Moldy Jon's wife, Ann, here. I'd like to be the first to comment because I recently had the realization that I was exposed to toxic mold many years ago when I lived in a mobile home.

I knew there was ugly black stuff on my walls that I had to clean up periodically, but had no idea that it could be hazardous to my health!

I've been with Jon for the past 9 years and never understood that the myriad of symptoms I had for the past 20+ years could have been caused by exposure to toxic mold.

Jon works as a forensic industrial hygienist and specializes in mold cases. He's written 4 books on the subject and we've discussed many of his cases over the years. But I had never really thought that I had been exposed to the very thing that he has written about!

I had one of those "duh" moments one day that made me make the connection -- yes, my myriad of symptoms that was my story was definitely related to that black mold stuff. I went to Jon's book "61 Toxic Mold Symptoms" and re-read that list of symptoms once more. Mind you, I had proofed this book several times, but the reality of that list of symptoms hadn't sunk in. That's when it hit me -- I had experienced 47 of the 61 symptoms! I had been to many doctors, including those at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and no one could correctly diagnose what was causing the symptoms.

Now, as I go back and recall events of my past, I realize when the symptoms began to plague me. It all started with a severe case of sinusitis. I had never before had sinus problems, so never suspected that could be what was wrong with me. Even the doctor didn't discover it was the sinus until I had been treated for an upper respiratory infection for nearly 2 weeks, with no relief in sight. Once treated for the correct problem, I recovered quickly. But it was to be only the first symptom of many over the years. I now know they were caused by my exposure to the toxic mold in my home.

I have recently come across a therapy I can do for myself that is helping me immensely. My fatigue is nearly gone --I've got more energy than I have had in years! The farther along I get in this therapy, the more symptoms are surfacing and then leaving my body. Currently I'm working out the pain. It's a slow process, but I figure it's been in my body a long time. I just need to give it a chance to leave. But I'm feeling better with each new day.

If you are interested in knowing the type of therapy I'm using please feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

Just know that if you are suffering from exposure to toxic mold and your doctor doesn't know what to do, you are not alone! There are many of us out here.

Thanks for listening,
Ann
