stachybotrys chartarum
• first identified and described by a scientist from wallpaper collected in a home in prague in
1837.
• reports and surveys on mold in homes have been published since at least the late 1970s.
• according to the journal of the american medical association (jama), mold growth in
water-damaged homes is a potential hazard caused by flooding and can be a serious health
risk. molds are simple microscopic organisms found virtually everywhere, such as plants,
food, dry leaves, organic material, etc. dampness in basements, walls, carpets, and wood
caused by flooding provides an excellent environment for molds to flourish
1. a mold that produces mycotoxins usually produces a series of toxins rather than just one
toxin.
2. if a mold known to produce toxins is present in a home or building, then the toxins it
produces are present as well.
3. a toxin can be stable for weeks. it takes heat over 500 degrees f to destroy it.

regardless of the source or reason for today’s mold infestations, the same “drastic
measures” to rid one’s self of mold are required as they were 2000 years ago.
what drastic measures were employed to eliminate mold 2000 years ago? it seems
reasonable that contaminated items were either burned or buried — or both. are
mold toxins any less deadly today? many mold-infested homes and buildings,
including the infected items within, should be of immediate concern.

as a victim of a mold-related illness, i urge you to take this issue to heart. look at the
photos which follow. they are the sad reality of what mold-mycotoxins did to us;
but we are just one case of mold poisoning. mold is causing devastating health
effects all across the usa. toxic mold runs rampant in homes, schools and the
workplace. most mainstream physicians and even some of the agencies designed to
protect us deny the serious health effects. i assure you the pain and devastation
seen below is just as real as it looks. please be warned and help bring the truth to
america. it could just as easily happen to you or someone you love.
despite the fact mold toxins are known agents of biowarfare, the denial continues.
trichothecenes clearly poisoned us. i urge you to do a search on this toxin for
yourself. you will see it's a deadly toxin produced by varios fungi, such as fusarium,
stachybotrys, trichoderma among others; and as stated above, there are many
different mycotoxins, just as dangerous. if a toxin is a poison and we're inhaling,
ingesting and absorbing it, does common sense alone not tell you it will harm you?
many times these toxins act as a stealth poison. in our case, we never saw any
visible mold; but environmental reports prove beyond any doubt it abounds within
the walls of this home.
mold victims are being abandoned by the medical community. insurance companies
continue to deny claims where lives have been destroyed and possessions lost.
where do they turn for help? have they basically been given a death sentence?
who stands to profit by keeping the truth from the people? it appears some have a
vested interest in spreading the lies and deceit. that's another story within itself, but
let me say on behalf of all those who suffer from such illnesses: those who are
deliberately sweeping this under the rug and allowing this innocent people to suffer -
shame on you! your behaviour is totally unacceptable and causes many to be unable
to get proper medical care or much needed assistance. if you are liable for such
injuries then accept that responsibilty. i'm a pretty strong lady but it often feel like
chemicals were sprayed into my face, eyes, lungs and entire body. my immune
system has been destroyed. for me to, however, imagine a child being treated this
way; i refuse to accept that.
i urge the public to take this health crisis seriously. help us speak out. don't let
anyone tell you you cannot become very ill from mold and mycotoxins. yes, you can!
if you want to see how many people are being devastated from mold, visit
sickbuildings yahoo health group. if i had not found them, i would probably not be
here to write this article. i would have never been led to the right people for a
diagnosis. you will see postings from victims all over the world who are sick and
searching for answers.
again i thank dr. campbell for his support of mold victims and for the use of the
information above. for a doctor to have all the wisdom in the world is great, but to
see a doctor also "practice with his heart" means a lot.
