Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The Pastor at a local church is leaving for Biloxi MS next week along with a number of college students to help with the continuing cleanup and rebuilding, pst Katrina.. She came home very sick from a previous trip to the region. She has asthma and some allergies. The folks coordinating this trip told her all she/they need is the paper dust masks and also mentioned that cellulitis was being seen. What would you recommend as preventative and protective that they can start taking now. What equipment should they be using on site? Any other words of advice you'd care to share? Thanks mjh (who will be staying home) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi, I am an evac for St. Bernard LA which is the suburbs of New Orleans. We went back to see our house which was totally destroyed and with my husband covered from head to toe with a suit, mask, gloves and boots he still came down sick for only being in our house for under an hour. It is the mold that is toxic, very toxic and after several articles and people who I know down there, I am not sure of a 100% positive way to stop a person from becoming sick. I am sorry to say this cause Katrina victims need all the help they can get. St Bernard does not only have the mold but an oil plant spilled and there is toxic from that. I cry daily because I want to go home, or close to it but I can't. I would like to thank your pastor and college students for doing this unselfish act for them. They need to find the best breathing device that will not allow the outside air to get in, that is the only way, from what I have heard, but costly.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Wow. I'd think the workers will definitely need Colloidal Silver as it can be cheaply produced in mass amounts, and kills both bacteria and viruses. They can take it in relatively large doses orally and also use those small, cheap bottles to spray it in eyes/ears/nose as they work to kill pathogens. They should be made aware that they may experience a Herxheimer effect, and to back off on the dosage if so. Not sure on the mold- maybe tea tree or oregano oil? Hopefully someone else can give you ideas. -Raine foxhillers wrote: > > The Pastor at a local church is leaving for Biloxi MS next week along > with a > number of college students to help with the continuing cleanup and > rebuilding, > pst Katrina.. > > She came home very sick from a previous trip to the region.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Herbs from the Rainforest are generally effective for mold, since down there you either learn to fight fungus or your turn into one. Arcozon, from Amazon Herb Company, combines the well known Pau d'Arco with Jatoba. Jatoba is not only a great fungus fighter, it also gives you energy, and that is pretty nice when you are suffering from mold fatigue. Both herbs are also in Shipibo Treasure Tea. I would be glad to send samples. Ien in the Kootenays ************************** Stop. Breathe.
