The Hidden Health Danger of Mold

If you are exposed to mold over a long period of time you can end up with the growth of mold within your nose, sinus cavities, bronchial passages and lungs.

Are you suffering from exposure to mold? If you experience any of the following symptoms you may be suffering from chronic mold exposure: allergies, asthma, cancer, chronic coughing, diarrhea, fatigue, earaches, fever, headaches, hives, irritability, sinus congestion, kidney failure, memory loss, seizures, rash, sore throat, tremors, or vomiting. A study at Mayo Clinic done in 1997 found that more than 95% of the 37 million Americans who suffer from chronic sinusitis symptoms do so because of exposure to mold.

Would you use standard anti-fungal agents such as bleach to clean up your mold problem? The trouble is that bleach can be as dangerous to human health as the mold. In fact many researchers believe that using bleach can actually lead to a rebound of mold growth within 24 hours.

Fortunately, there is an effective, safe antifungal solution to mold - essential oils. Used for centuries for a variety of health complaints, high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils have recently been rediscovered as an effective way to prevent and eliminate mold. Best of all essential oils support the body against chronic mold exposure.

Essential Oils - Nature's Mold Solution 

Going Green in the Bathroom

According to Edward R. Close, Phd, PE "Essential oils offer humanity a powerful, all-natural means of addressing the problems of toxic mold and mildew." Everyone should be examining essential oils as a means to help wipe out disease-causing organisms.

Research on the antifungal properties of essential oils show:

1. Essential oils of thyme, oregano, mint, cinnamon, salvia and clove were found to possess the strongest antimicrobial properties among many tested.

2. Research has shown that lemmongrass oil was effective against Aspergillus flavus, a toxic mold which causes a variety of infections in the body.

The bathroom is one of the main areas where negative energy exists in your home and if not controlled, it can affect your entire home and life. I suggest using Thieves Household Cleaner for cleaning your bathroom and kitchen, as a natural green cleaning product to defeat toxic mold. Dr. Close's research clearly demonstrates that Thieves is the best answer for toxic mold.

Nature's Mold Rx, the Non-Toxic Solution to Toxic Mold

A mold remediation expert told me that nothing -- not even the most toxic of chemicals -- could kill 100% of mold on porous surfaces like my drywall, and that there was nothing, period, that would kill airborne mold. According to him, the only way to deal with mold spores in the air was to use high-powered air scrubbers, and for $3700 he would bring in his air scrubbers and chemicals and men in protective suits to deal with my problem, but he wouldn't make any guarantees that my mold would go away and stay away. Then I found out about Dr. Close s research and decided to try the ten-step protocol in this book. The before-and-after test results were nothing short of astonishing, and they saved me a lot of money. Best of all, my cat s steadily worsening asthma was almost nonexistent the week after we eliminated the mold. If you suspect you have a mold problem or mold-related illness, read this book. --Connie Bennett, Homeowner

Go Green Use a Diffuser 

Once you have cleaned up the mold with Thieves Household Cleaner. Continue to fight any new the mold by diffusing the essential oil blend Thieves. The Thieves oil is a blend containing the following antifungal oils: clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary. These oils were used to fight the Black Plague.

Used indoors, a high-qualify diffuser can effectively spread the beneficial effects of essential oils throughout the air of your home.
Click here to find out more about diffusing oils, or to order a diffuser.

A diffuser is a special air pump that is custom designed to disperse essential oils in a micro fiber vapor. This allows the oils to stay suspended in the air to reduce bacteria, fungi and mold. Diffusing also freshens the air with natural fragrances, eliminating the need for synthetic, harmful air fresheners. The diffuser disperses the oils without heat, which could render the essential oils less effective.

Do you really need therapeutic grade oils? The answer to this question is an emphatic YES! The truth is that the marketplace is flooded with low-grade, synthetic, chemically altered oils (many of which are found in soaps, shampoos, perfumes and air fresheners) - all under the guise of aromatherapy. There is no therapy in most of these commercially hyped toxic items. Only a handful of companies sell what can truly be called pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, so when looking for such a product, it's important to do our homework. I would highly recommend Young Living products for their effectiveness, green qualities and strength and purity.

I've bookmarked this lens, as I have been reading about the Thieves Formula with respect to fighting viruses. The essential oil thieves formula is what was used to ward off the plague. So I believe you when you promote it to be effective in eliminating mold also. 5*
