Water Extraction Incompetence Leading to Mold, a Growing Concern – Asthma and Allergies
The southern part of the United States is one of mold’s favorite places to live in besides the residents. Molds such as Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Pencillium and Chaetomium can be found anywhere here; these molds rely on wet, humid environments, or moisture and a typical food source such as drywall, organic cotton, dust, wood, paper or other organic materials. These mold types can begin to grow on porous surfaces with high moisture content within the first 72 hours from our experience.
Many allergy sufferers who do not want to rely on weekly antigen injections, and who are not satisfied with medicating themselves to cover up the symptoms of allergies, have chosen to undergo sub-lingual immunotherapy (SLIT). SLIT is very popular and used widely in Europe. It is emerging as an effective treatment strategy in the United States as well, with new research being generated regularly to support it. More than 300 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals prove that sublingual treatment is both safe and effective. The publication of the ARIA (Allergy Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) guidelines, by an international workgroup, indicated that SLIT is a viable treatment approach. A Cochrane Review, the most trusted independent, evidence-based, meta-analysis organization in the world, released their analysis in 2003 and determined SLIT both safe and effective.
The same night the frantic homeowner called again and said they refused to cut holes in the walls saying they were experienced and had been doing this for a long time. They stated it was unnecessary to do this. I guess, that is how they get all their mold remediation work on the side besides drying houses down. We told the frantic homeowner to tell them to do it or remove the equipment and leave. Well, you know what happened next, they cut holes in the drywall but refused to cut holes in the ceiling saying the water will flow downward. More incompetence, guess they think people are stupid and will believe anything in a time of crisis.
We had an unusual case in Boca Raton, Fl in an office building. The people in the building were complaining about flu-like symptoms. Investigation of the roof found a pigeon nest in the fresh air intake. Testing of the pigeon droppings and feathers were positive for the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Reported the problem to the building owner and they cleaned it up. There were no more flu-like symptoms in the building after the cleanup.
There are two possible treatment regimens. The first is a “pre-seasonal treatment,” in which the drops are more concentrated. This is a quick build up of antigen several weeks prior to an allergy season. There drops are continued at a lesser concentration for the duration of the allergy season. Treatment is then stopped thereafter. The second, and more common, approach is more “regular dosing” for patients with chronic allergies to things like molds, foods, dust, etc. The treatment can last from one to two years.
Advanced Medicine of New York is pleased to announce that it is now accepting new allergy patients. The approach will be comprehensive; including recommendations in diet as it reflects the patient’s particular allergy, a focus on natural supplements that support the immune system and fight off an allergic response, medications and/or intravenous treatments as needed, and with Sub-lingual Immunotherapy or allergy drops.
