Mold and Mycotoxin, Illness Explained

By Cesar Collado

Perhaps the biggest challenge in writing about mold and mycotoxin contamination and illness associated with water damaged or moldy homes is enabling the patient to reach a common understanding of the illness with their spouses or partners. 

Unless this is accomplished, misaligned beliefs can foster disputes, disbelief, and challenge faith in the relationship.  Some of the hurdles include:

  • The absence of the illness in other members of the family living in the same home;

  • The inability for trusted physicians to provide a clear diagnosis;

  • The need for concrete evidence of the illness;

  • Intolerance and resentment due to the chronic presentation of the illness and dips and peaks in its severity;

  • Frustration with the affected person’s inability to perform duties to the family and home or ability to generate an income;

  • Confusion and anger associated with the high cost of reparations needed in the home in addition to medical, nutritional, and supplement costs that may not be reimbursed by insurance the same as most other illness;

  • The fact that clear, finite estimates of costs and timelines for “curing” the illness don’t readily exist;

  • Loss of ego and pride associated with the selection or building of the home that is “moldy;”

  • Financial panic that ensues when there seems to be no end in sight of medical and environmental remediation bills.

Of all of these, it is my opinion that the most damaging element to relationships comes with the resentment and disbelief from the “well partner” that the illness is either not real or a pseudo-diagnosis that the patient is psychosomatic, depressed, “lazy,” or “crazy.”

Lowering Blood Pressure: The Medications and the Natural Treatments

I wrote this article because so many people have confusions about what to take to lower their blood pressure and should they are should they take drugs? This explains the various ways that blood pressure is lowered.

The Medications

If you take blood pressure medications to address hypertension, you will need to take a blood pressure lowering drug for the rest of your life. These medications do not change the underlying reason that the blood pressure is high and so you have to take the medications continuously for them to work.

These drugs are attempting to address the reason for hypertension, which are the small smooth muscles inside your arteries that tense up. When these muscles tense up, the arteries become narrower, more rigid and less flexible. These medications will lower pressure by slowing your heart beat, or interfering with nerve impulses to your arteries, or removing water from your body, or blocking biochemical reactions, or preventing calcium from entering the cells that make up the walls of your arteries.

Blood Pressure medications alter basic body functions not only in the blood vessels but other parts of the body as well.   Because all of the body’s systems work together, these drugs can create a wide array of side effects. 

There are different types of blood pressure medications.  

Beta-blockers:  Are used to control irregular heartbeats. These drugs limit the ability of the heart to beat faster and as a result they reduce the ability of the person to or to physically respond to "fight or flight" during an emergency.  Fatigue is a side effect.  Beta Blockers can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. 

ACE Inhibitors:  Lowers blood pressure by decreasing certain substances in the blood that tighten the blood vessels.   It will dilate the blood vessels so the blood will flow more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more effectively using less pressure.  Common side effects are violent cough, dizziness, fatigue and flu like symptoms.  It can also produce a pounding or uneven heartbeat.

Diuretics:  Stimulates the kidneys to flush excess fluid and sodium out of the body.  Less blood volume allows the heart to move the blood easier.  Side effects are loss of potassium, dry mouth, dehydration and raised blood sugar levels. 

Calcium Channel blockers:  Keeps the blood vessels and heart from absorbing calcium, which causes the blood vessels to contract.  Common side effects are headache, nausea, constipation, rash, dizziness and fluid retention.

Alpha Blockers:  stops certain nerve impulses to the blood vessels causing the vessels to relax.  Common side effects are low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, pounding heartbeat, nausea, fatigue, fluid retention and an increase of the cholesterol levels in the blood. 

Vasodilators:  Cause the muscles in the blood vessels to relax, preventing the muscles from tightening and the walls of the blood vessels from narrowing.   Side effects are headache, nasal congestion, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, pounding heartbeat, fluid retention, fluid retention and dizziness.

It is often recommended that two or three of these drugs be used at the same time, which creates even more side effects as a result of the chemical interactions between the medications.

Natural Treatments:  Addressing the underlying cause of the high blood pressure

Since blood pressure is affected by the small smooth muscles that line the inside walls of your blood vessels, the reason that these muscles tense up needs to be addressed.

The Reason:  The loss of vital minerals by poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, being overweight, alcohol and caffeine in excess, emotional and physical stress and being diabetic results in these small muscles tensing up.

It is the replacement of vital minerals to your body that is essential to the natural and effective control of blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and making them supple again.

Taking the vitamins and minerals your body is deficient in will naturally relax the muscles, relax the blood vessels and lower the blood pressure. 

Magnesium is a key mineral.  The body needs a proper balance of potassium, sodium and calcium.  When the body is deficient in magnesium, the balance is disrupted.

We can’t get enough magnesium in our food supply as the soil is depleted of magnesium, and other vital minerals.  Thus, supplementing our diet with whole food nutrients that will nourish the cells of your arteries will naturally lower blood.

Nerve Damage - Why R-Alpha Lipoic and Acetyl L-Carnitine?

If you have nerve damage, R-Alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine are two key supplements that you should add to your daily routine.

Evidence indicates that alpha lipoic acid has an ability to kill free-radicals which may help provide added nutritional support to people who have nerve damage in the arms and legs, such as:

- pain
- burning
- itching
- tingling
- numbness

Alpha lipioc acid comes in two forms. R and S. Alpha lipoic acid is a combination of these two forms. Most supplements have alpha lipoic acid with both forms, not just the R form.

The R form of alpha lipoic acid is the form normally found in the body. Studies indicate the R-alpha lipoic acid form appears to be better absorbed than the combination of R and S alpha lipoic acid.

Additionally, some small preliminary studies suggest acetyl L-carnitine may help provide nutritional support to people with pain and who want to improve feeling in affected nerves. It is also possible that acetyl L-carnitine can help nerves regenerate.

The Nerve & Energy Booster is a nutritional supplement which contains acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid (the better, more absorbable form of R-alpha lipoic acid).

The ratios are the same as used in the clinical trials.
