Happy 2023 - Updates!

2023 Woohoo!

A few points.

* Blog Reminder - This blog was and is still intended for the layperson, the average Jane. I try my best to relay information in a simple manner and with terminology 99% of the population can comprehend. This is not meant to be a scientific journal. This year I decided to open the comment section of this blog to allow people to share information and interact with the hopes it will amplify the beneficial nature of this blog.

* Be Kind - Let's not forget we all share this world and we have to be mindful of everyone's opinion and beliefs. Being kind!

* SARS / COVID 19 - You have probably noticed I have stayed clear of making any update posts related to the "pandemic". The topic is now way too toxic and political. We conduct our business and write content for this blog using scientific information based on facts. In this new world, opinions have become facts and everyone has an opinion. I'm damned if I give facts or my opinion, so I'm staying clear of the topic.

* Giving - Every year we donate our time and resources on projects to help those in need. This year will be no different. We are proud to be a part of the community and enjoy our relationships with the thousands of people we have met throughout the years. If you know of someone in need, please reach out to us.

* Free Educational Seminars - Due to the outbreak we had postponed our free Mold and Radon seminars. We are now resuming them using the guidelines set by the CDC and state mandates. If you think your organization would like to have such an event, please let us know. We will be happy to work with you to provide a fun, safe experience.

Mycotoxic (Fungus) Moldy Foods - Top 10 List

This post is directed towards food concerns as related to mold. Mold is in our air, it plays a beneficial role in our ecosystem. We need mold, but do we need it in our food? Let this sink in - We cannot always control if we have mycotoxins in our food, we can control what foods we eat. If you think mold may be contributing to your health related issues, it's time to start thinking about your diet. Consuming any mycotoxin is never a good idea, so a diet consisting of foods with a higher probability of containing mycotoxins would not be considered wise. You are what you eat, never forget it! Now to get a bit more clinical. Definition of Mycotoxic - Pertaining to or emanating from a mycotoxin. Definition of Mycotoxin - Mycotoxin (from the Greek word (mykes) "fungus") Definition of Toxin - From the Greek word toxikon, lit.

Mold Testing - DIY Petri Method - Pro-Lab - Inaccurate?

We often receive calls and emails requesting mold testing services. We also are asked if the home tests are any good. Well, it really depends on how accurate of a test/results want. The Truth I can guarantee if you use a petri dish style spore capturing device and you send it to a lab, you will get results. The results will always show you have mold. Of course you have mold, mold spores are everywhere. You can put the petri dish anywhere and get results. They just won't be accurate results. On their website you will see fanfare and dropping corporate names as a way to bolster their product. In essence they might as well be selling tests for oxygen. Simply put they rely on the ignorance of the general public to sell their product. I can state with clarity, the results are not accurate nor indicative of the actual mold situation in your home. From an industry standard they would never be used to clear a project, post remediation. Which means their accuracy is poor. Why are they

Multiple Sclerosis: Chronic Mycotoxicosis Mold?

As time goes on and the study of mycology advances we are seeing more and more evidence of "mold" related afflictions. We see humans, animals and insects all suffer from the diabolical nature of "mold". Given my vocation, I often wonder on how my 20+ years of exposure to mold with affect my future health. You are what you eat. Treat your body well, give it clean vibrant foods as often as you can. Stop drinking alcohol and eating processed foods and foods with sugar. MS Definition (as defined by the national ms society) - Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves an immune-mediated process in which an abnormal response of the body’s immune system is directed against the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. So, does the definition of MS coincide with the scientific research involving mycotoxins? "Future research should be directed at treating the disease as if it were caused by fungi and their devastating myco
