In 2004, the EPA warned physicians to be on the lookout for both respiratory and neurological symptoms from mold contaminated schools and homes.

In their easy-to-read prophetic book, they offer solutions based on the latest medical and scientific research that work for both bodies and buildings. . .restoring quality of life to children and parents. Similar to an oil change for your car, our mold toxin Detox program cleans away contaminants in internal fluids in a way that quickly restores children, adolescents, and even adults to health and contentment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightened me about mold illness, March 18, 2006

I clearly had a mold problem and knew (or thought I knew) that 2 of my 3 kids were most likely sick from mold. My husband had been going round and round with the insurance company who refused to pay to have the problem fixed. After reading "When Traditional Medicine Fails," we now understand the terminology involved in both mold testing and mold remediation and were able to prepare the documents needed to get the insurance company to act. The cost to repair was over $10,000 but the insurance company paid 100% less our $1,000 deductible. There is more to getting healthy from mold toxins exposure than just medical treatment. Unless you get rid of the source of the toxins, I don't think you can ever expect a return to health. After the remediation one of my children returned to health almost immediately, but the younger child needed 2-3 weeks of medical treatment and is now 100%. But both children continue to be quite sensitive to mold, which as I now understand, may continue for the rest of their lives.

I got quick results after reading When Traditional Medicine Fails. I read the entire book in an evening. It is only about 150 pages and includes many color pictures that I found extremely useful.

My kids are now healthy after following the book's Quick Detox recommendations; and I estimate that I saved over $10,000 on mold remediation because I was able to do most of the mold remediation
work myself by following the clear advice in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Eye-Opening Book on the largely unknown health effects from mold, March 17, 2006

This review is from: When Traditional Medicine Fails, Your Guide to Mold Toxins (Paperback)

Our home suffered extensive roof damage due to Hurricane Wilma, which swept through South Florida last year. Plenty of water came in through the ceiling, running down numerous walls. We tried drying the house as best as we could, but with no electricity or air conditioning for a week, there was only so much we could do.

About a month after the hurricane, our kids started showing allergy-like symptoms. I also noticed that I was having frequent headaches and generally felt run down and fatigued. My wife took our kids to their pediatrician, who prescribed allergy medications and testing for them. The medications helped only a little. Due to the significant amount of water we had in our home, I began wondering if our health problems were due to mold. So, when my kids' next doctor's appointment came, I took them. I asked the doctor if their symptoms--as well as my headaches--could be from mold. He pretty much laughed off the suggestion. He simply renewed my kids' allergy medications and recommended that I see a neurologist.

Then, I read When Traditional Medicine Fails. Wow! What an eye opener! I discovered that mold can cause not only the symptoms my kids and I were suffering from, but also plenty of other health effects. Plus, I learned that many traditional physicians are simply unknowledgeable about mold-related health issues. The book also tells you how can solve many mold problems on your own. Our problem was too extensive to fix by ourselves, but with the book's help, I was able to hire a qualified remediator who followed EPA protocols. A couple weeks after the remediation, our health problems were gone!
