THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MASK Mold is everywhere

I recently had an updated allergy test which showed I am more sensitivity to several types of mold.  Mold is everywhere so how do I avoid it?   Everyone with a disability has to learn to live with the cards they are dealt.   The saying is, “If you get lemons make lemonade.”  Since mold is everywhere I have to learn to adjust my life.   I had to sell my front load washer and dryer because mold gets in the seal of the washer.    People are told to leave the door open but that doesn’t stop the growth of the mold.  My front loader was beautiful I named my set, Rose and Royce.  I only had the set for two years.   Each time I would go to the doctor he would ask if I got rid of the washer.  My reply, of course, would be no.   His response to me was, “I’m trying to eliminate as much mold as possible from your life but you roll around in it every night.”   In essence the mold was in my sheets, my clothing, and towels.  The treatment plan was to eliminate the mold we could control.   I was not ready to part with my washer and dryer.   My doctor explained in order to reach my healing point I would have to comply.  I eventually gave in because I do not want to be sick.  The mold in my washer didn’t give me toxic mold illness and all the other diagnoses but would hinder my healing progression.  The doctor advised me to use certain products like EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate, vinegar, or baking soda in the wash cycle.   EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate is a highly  concentrated an all-natural botanical cleaner that removes the mold spores and mycotoxins that collect on the hard and soft surfaces of your home. It is a vital part of the Environmental Treatment Protocol developed by my doctor.  It can be used to spray in carpets and on drapes.   The EC3 solution helps kill mold spores from the outside environment.   Mold is in our environment but too much exposed can cause debilitating issues.   I was breathing mold in my workplace for years.  The mold spores in a water damaged building is deadly.   My sinus captivity was tested to show I was breathing air that was devastating to my health.   I had three sinus surgeries before I met my environment ENT doctor.    The mold in my sinuses damaged my pituitary gland.  The pituitary glad is at the base of our brain.  Our pituitary gland is similar to the motor in a car it speaks to the other glands in our body.   Therefore if the pituitary gland doesn’t work, all the other glands are not working.  I have to take precautions like wearing my mask, washing my clothes in products like EC3, vinegar, baking soda and using air purifiers.    I had to get rid of the carpet in my bedroom and replace with reengineered hardwood floors.   Mold is looked upon as “Oh, it’s just mold.”   That statement could be a death sentence for someone like me.   People should be aware of environmental pollutants because our environment has changed.  We have not taken care of the earth God created for us.   We use chemicals and steroids as substitute to make things grow faster.  We use plastics and trash our beautiful green earth.   Companies who own old buildings don’t want to spend money to build new buildings.  They continue to put a band-aid over the problem by renovating.   A sick building could have water damage, asbestos, lead, chemicals or mold.  Or all of those!   People with certain genetic makeups can’t handle the load of those pollutants.   I strive each day to get better.   I am striving for my total healing.   I know people are tried of me asking them not to wear this or don’t eat foods around me that may cause me to have an allergic reaction.  I have had people to walk out of my life because they didn’t want to make the adjustments I need to be healthy.   I’m good with that because you really never know who your true friends are until you go through a difficult time.  The Bible declares be not weary in well doing for we shall reap if we faint not.   My harvest is coming.   I have faith to believe in the healing power of God.   Faith is seeing what you can’t see before it comes!    See yourself healthy and whole.  In the book of Leviticus the people  were told how to rid mold.   They actually burned their houses down.    Today we have modern technology and cleaners that can clean.  The EC3 is not harsh therefore I was can use it.  Not bleach!   Bleach is not your friend.   Breathing bleach can be deadly.   If you find you have mold in your home search for products to rid the mold so you can live a happy, clean, and free life.  There are companies that clean homes with major water damage.   I will continue to pray and keep a positive attitude about my health and life!   I’m still here!!

About This Blog

You might think it’s strange or weird to see a person walking around with a mask on.  In my blog I will explain why this mask is necessary for survival.  I spent years wondering why smells would literally stop me from breathing.  I had no idea what had taken over my body like in a episode of twilight zone.
