Class,
Remember my notes on Gary Young seminar about a young lady treated at Dr.Young clinic in Ecuador for black mold, who recovered within just a few days?

MOLD IN THE BODY - PART ONE
By Jacquelyn A Close, RA and Edward R Close, PhD, PE
http://www.ejcenterprises.com/Staff.shtml
Mold in the body is, unfortunately, quite common, and is known to be associated with or to be the cause of skin, nail, eye, ear and respiratory infections that can become chronic. [For more information on diseases linked to mold exposure, see the Mold Symptoms page at www.MoldRx4u.com.] Chronic infection and disease resulting from prolonged exposure to irritants that produce inflammation in the body and its systems can lead to serious break downs in the body's defenses resulting in chronic inflammatory conditions, autoimmune system compromise, and even death.
If you have ever seen the science programs on PBS or the Discovery channels about fungus, fungi and mold, then you have seen pictures of insects, ants and animals who are beset by fungal infections, become ill, and die. Then their body is consumed with mold. They become mold food. Eventually, you see mushrooms growing out of the bodies of those dead insects, ants and small animals.
That is what mold does. It feeds, reproduces and breaks down both living and inert materials and returns them to compost so they can be recycled and reused by the environment. Mold also kills - that is, it infests an organism and feeds on it, then proliferates (reproduces) and then breaks that organism down into base materials (compost).
When a mold species, such as Stachybotrys chartarum or Aspergillus, invades your body it is just trying to do its job. It doesn't know, or care, whether you are dead or alive! And mold exposure can and does cause serious illness. Yet, there are many in the scientific community, many in the medical community, FEMA, the CDC, State Health Departments, the Insurance industry, and elsewhere, who would have you believe that mold exposure has no health effects whatsoever. These authoritative officials have the attitude that mold is nothing to be concerned about. They say that since mold is found everywhere and there is no way to eliminate it from our lives completely, you just have to get over the fear and learn to live with it. They seem to ignore one of the biggest problems plaguing hospitals, Aspergillosis, which is a disease created when Aspergillusmold spores enter open wounds and a patient's lungs during surgery or extended hospital stays.
Worse, people who contacted us report that hospital staff have said to them that there is nothing to support statements that mold exposure causes any illness or disease. The people who contact us report that they were told by doctors and nurses that there is no pathology associated with exposure to mold. Are they just ignorant of the facts? Or do they refuse to accept the obvious, as well as the scientifically documented links between mold and illness? Or have they been told to deny the facts because it could lead to an elevated risk of lawsuits at their facility?
Fear is given to us to help us avoid things that are potentially harmful and dangerous to us. So, fear of an organism that can make you ill or even kill you is not unwarranted.
The questions these officials don't answer are:
How do we protect our families, our pets, and our own body against this ubiquitous invader that can kill us, and do so without fear of it coming back?
How do we eliminate the fear, if we cannot eliminate the mold?
How can we protect ourselves in a way that promotes health and wellness?
Certainly using bleach and other harmful chemicals is not an acceptable answer to the problem of mold exposure. See the Six Reasons to Avoid Standard Mold Cleanup Options on our website www.MoldRx4u.com for more about the problems with bleach and chemicals. So, what can we do?
Over the years, since we started researching the use of essential oils for addressing mold in buildings, we have worked with a number of people who suffered from fungal and mold infestations, and chronic health problems that we have reason to believe may have resulted from mold exposure. There is a unique function of plants that Dr. Ed Close explained in our book, Nature's Mold Rx, the Non-Toxic Solution to Toxic Mold, that makes them highly suited to address mold in buildings and in the body. Plants have a built-in defense against mold that makes it possible for them to survive the attacks of mold. And plants are never made up of exactly the same chemical components from one year to the next, so mold, viruses and bacteria cannot adapt and become immune to the plants' defenses. This is the only reason we have such a wide variety of plants on Earth today. If plants were not able to stave off the constant attacks of mold, they would die and become food for mold, compost, not food for people.
Essential oils produced by and from plants contain a rich mixture of naturally occurring organic compounds that, according to research the world over, offer many benefits to health and wellness. They have been used for centuries and they continue to be effective today. Indeed, scientific research abounds with evidence that essential offer a strong defense against viruses, bacteria, pain, inflammation, disease and fungi. Yet, as one woman recently said, they remain: The best kept secret of health and wellness.
Essential oils and products enhanced with essential oils are, we believe, the answer to the problems of mold in buildings, and in our bodies.
People contact us and ask:
What can I do about mold in my body?
What can I do about mold in my blood?
What can I do about this or that type of fungal infection?
Based on clients reports back to us, the more they learn, and the more they pay attention to their own body and make necessary changes based on what is working for them, the better they feel.
