I discovered some form of black mold behind my refrigerator this week. Mel and I discussed this and we both agree that this mold has likely played a role play in keeping me from reaching complete remission. We have always held that remaining in an apt. or in a home that has mold will keep us from reaching the finish line. We have no choice here. Remove yourself, or remove the mold, or you will remain sick. Luckily, I found it.
I have removed the mold and I will now be aggressively cleaning walls, cabinets, floors, and ducting. I will make certain that I get it all.
Here are the hard facts about mold. The EPA reports 30 percent of USA structures have mold. Ten percent of USA homes leak each year. After 48 hours, these leaks start creating mold. Hidden mold produces toxic chemicals on its spores that are harmful to adults and children in over 200 possible ways. Mold toxins can hurt virtually every organ in the body. Mold chemicals in the air may increase cancer, strokes, and heart attacks. And, because mold illness is absent from any medical training, even sincere physicians are often not able to diagnose it.
The bottom line is that ignoring this common house threat can undermine your life, your child’s life, and others you love. I wanted everyone to fully understand that if your environment has mold, the chances of you getting well are not good. If you suspect mold, you must not ignore it!
Godspeed, Peter
