Black Mold Exposure

Tonight I watched the movie  "Black Mold Exposure".  Wow!  I have been sick for some time now, but I have never had to go through what these people have been through with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). A lot of people develop MCS after mold exposure has jacked with their immune systems. My most crippling side effects have been fatigue, memory problems, general mental sluggishness, blurred vision, GI issues, anxiety and other things, but I have never had to deal with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). This link has some good info, not sure about the accuracy of it all, and my opinion differs on some info, but take it for what it is worth.

The movie depicts the crippling effects mold exposure has on humans, but also depicts the life altering, destroying effects of MCS and what people need to do to just survive and to function in life with the disorder. A friend and fellow sufferer has written some posts on MCS and her family's struggle with it. Check them out here. Mold Recovery Blogspot

One of the most depressing bits that the movie opened my eyes to is just how long it takes for the powers that be to truly recognize and implement beneficial changes through appropriate law making. For some issues throughout history, it has literally been 100+ years from realization of problem to appropriate lawmaking to help safeguard and protect human life. One of the reasons that I have started this blog is to help spread the word that there are many people who are sick out there and continue to stay sick because of mold exposure. It is not just in our heads, we are not crazy, and it is an epidemic that needs to be realized and stopped...and it needs to be stopped well before the next 100 years roll around. I have lost 14 years of my life to this, and don't want any of you to have to suffer needlessly. Get informed and speak up!

Bottom line....watch the movie. It will open your eyes to the reality of human health issues regarding mold exposure and mold illness in humans, especially the 25% of the population with genetic susceptibility to ongoing health issues because of exposure. You can watch online for $7 now. When the screenings are over, it will be released on video, but not sure how long that will be.

  1. We linked your post on our info portal, moldfacts.org. Thanks for the review. I haven't seen the film yet myself, but I'm thrilled that it's out.
    We have a couple of companies that are busting their guts to help people at least identify mold problems and begin the process of either getting mold out of their lives or getting out of moldy places.
    My son grew up asthmatic in my moldy house, and as a result ended up with a mold dog and founded 1800gotmold (dot com) and gotmoldtestkit (dot com). We hope to help as many people as possible to get well.
