Summary
- Previously board certified family Medicine from 1980-2017 Retired but still licensed and quite active in environmental toxicity ( I was seriously mold mycotoxin ill for several years and still have some residual symptoms and several family members also affected ) I encourage all of you to self-educate yourself on sites such as survivingmold.com, paradigmchange.me (highly directed toward chronic fatigue illness, an illness caused by mold/mycotoxin exposure, and ISEAI.org (international society for environmentally acquired illness. I have reviewed this topic for last 3 years and reviewed cases of reversal of Alzheimers (Dr. Bredesen and Dr. Mary Ackerley). I have personally seen biopolar pt(dx by several psychiatrists) progress to full out schizophrenia(as dx by psychiatrists) after 7 hospitalizations over 18 months at this time is recovered and fully employed without symptoms (after getting out of a toxic environment. Dr Bredesen (out of Kansas City) is presently conducting a large study on reversal and prevention of progression of Alzheimers disease. (Multifactorial but at least 35% or more relate to mycotoxin illness).
IF you have any questions please feel free to call ( 507-402-0298 ) or email me deww@charter.net I strongly encourage you to educate yourself about environmental illnesses, especially mycotoxins as I guarantee you have a family member or patient who would benefit from this information -- mainstream medicine hasn't a clue ( I practiced for over 36 years with full CME and never heard of mold toxicity --without the internet help, I would not be able to write to you about this now. So use my above URLs or google search MOLD MYCOTOXIN illness or Dr Bredesen or myMycoLAb., just don't search on MAYO, or Johns Hopkins, Harvard or Stanford as they have no clue because it is not yet "evidence based" and it will be too late for many by the time they figure this out. ALSO great plains lab out of KC also has cured some cases of Autism by mold RX.
