A ritual for cleansing a diseased home from mold and mildew using equal parts Cedarwood and Hyssop is described in the book of Leviticus. Mold was a problem even in biblical times. Today, toxic black mold can become such an unhealthy invader that people must leave their homes.
In her book, Tox-Sick Suzanne Somers points out 6 toxic threats that we need to take seriously if we want to be healthy. Threat number 3 is Toxic Black Mold. She learned first hand how this home invader can destroy health. She and her family got very sick from a mold infestation. She was even misdiagnosed with cancer, when in fact her body was suffering from mold.
Mold is the new mystery disease. The treatment for mold is essentially the same as the treatment for Lyme disease. Both can have devastating effects on health. A faulty air conditioner can be a source of mold spores. Mold disrupts your immune system and causes an inflammatory response. Both mold and Lyme are often misdiagnosed.
Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and depression are misdiagnosed when instead you may have mold toxicity. The same is true for Lyme disease, which is often misdiagnosed for other ailments.
"Just because you don't see molds in your home doesn't mean you don't have them: they can be hiding, munching away at your drywall, insulation and plywood; these are mold toxin 'happy foods'," says Somers.
"Like little monsters reproducing and wreaking havoc in your body, mold keeps reproducing unless stopped, like mold on your bathroom tile," she adds.
If mold is not cleared from the body once it invades, it can remain in your body indefinitely and cause lifelong problems. Imagine going through life being told you have other ailments and being treated for problems you don't really have, when in fact the real problem is mold.
Vision impairment, unstable temperature, tremors, tics, headaches, muscle aches, difficulty concentrating, brain dysfunction, weight gain, insomnia, unusual pain, are a few of the ways mold toxicity affects people. Some people are misdiagnosed with Parkinson's disease when the problem is actually mold, Somers claims.
Reading her book has made me realize that mold is a serious problem. I recently removed mold from our windows, the shower, and even found some growing on the wall at a spot where a bed was pushed against the wall. I'm constantly sneezing and blowing my nose during winter and I'm sure mold is a culprit.
I use undiluted white vinegar to kill mold. Give the moldy area a good spray and wait 20 minutes. Then I spray the area down with a strong ratio of Thieves household cleaner in a spray bottle. (One ounce Thieves and 14 ounces of water.) I also add essential oils suggested for mold on page 72 of the Quick Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils, which you get free from me as a member of Young Living. wholelifeoils.com/danelle-carvell/
I scrub the area well and sometimes I'll add a soapy homemade cleaner called Triple Threat, which contains castile soap, borax, washing soda and alcohol. Message me for the recipe if you're interested. I have people asking to buy Triple Threat because it works so well as a spot removing cleaner. Sometimes you discover winning recipes when you experiment.
If the problem is Toxic Black Mold, you should get a professional to remove it. You don't want that stuff in your lungs when it gets stirred up. I'll be sharing the other toxic threats from Suzanne's book in future posts, so check back.
