Secondly i need my house to be inspected for mold what should I do? and third if it happens mold to reach digestive track how do treat mold digestive track problems?

     A. Your first step should be to read three of my mold advice ebooks: (1) Mold Health Guide; (2) Mold Monsters; and (3) Do It Best Yourself Mold Inspection, Testing, Remediation, and Prevention, only $15 each for email attachment delivery to you from http://www.moldmart.net. Your health problems such as skin itching,itchy throat, dry cough, red eyes, abnormal body pain, runny nose with mucous coming from your nose, headache and digestion problems are typical health symptoms people suffer from when they live or work in mold infestation. I agree with you that most doctors are ignorant about mold: (1) ignorant about mold diseases and symptoms; (2) ignorant about how to do diagnose and treat mold health problems. Doctor ignorance about mold health is one of the biggest reasons to read my Mold Health Guide carefully so that you can make recommendations to your doctor as to both mold diagnostic and treatment procedures. One of the most valuable medical tests you can do is to have your blood tested for mold antibodies that your body products to try to defend your body against internal mold growth.  You should also ask your doctor about prescribing for you itraconazole, a very, very effective anti-fungal medicine. Do you own or rent where you live in Japan???

Q.
Our family moved to Tokyo just under 2 years ago.  I had some allergies before coming to Japan.  However, since coming to Japan, my allergies have been more frequent and stronger.  My supervisors asked me to see an allergist in February 2005.  After testing, my top 4 allergies proved to be mould, ragweed, red alder, and Japanese cedar.  At first, I have tried some simple natural and over-the-counter answers to my allergies, and tried to plow through the more challenging weeks.  Recently, I started doing some more web research too.  The 3 pollen allergies (ragweed, alder, & Japanese cedar) seem to be manageable by understanding the seasons for these pollens and taking allergy medicine (even in advance of the season if possible).  I am scheduled to consult further with a couple of physicians this week.The mould issue seems to be a different category.  I sent some of my web research to our supervisors, and requested a mould inspection to rule out the more dangerous types of mould.  The response that I am receiving so far is a reluctance to invest in the mould inspection, because it would likely be very expensive.  Instead, one option being discussed the possibility of moving us and simply tearing the building down (which is owned by the company) after we move.  We are open to moving soon (even though school has just started for our 3 girls), since some moulds can be so serious.  If we DO move and DO NOT do a mould inspection (and the building is torn down in roughly a year), our question is, “What proof will we have that our roughly 2 years here might have significantly contributed to family health concerns down the line?”  We prefer to know yes or no whether any of the moulds in this house may be related to some health issues.  From what I have read on the internet, our home is very vulnerable to the conditions for mould.  One key decision-maker in our company should be back in country tomorrow.  It is possible this matter may be discussed at some level within the company as soon as Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  Any and all counsel would be appreciated.  Here are some questions:

 

1)       What is your perspective of the situation I have described?

 

2)       We do not prefer to do the mould testing ourselves, because we know that we are not professionals, and we do not want our unprofessional conclusions to be the basis of decision-making for our family or the company.  Could you recommend any professionals in Japan?

 

3)       What kind of cost for a mould inspection would be fair?

 

A. Mould test kits used by your following our instructions are very effective, especially when you have the test kit lab results done by our USA partner mold analysis lab [only US$60 per mould lab sample]. You are not going to find top-knotch experts in mould [kabi in Japanese] in Japan because mould is not yet a concern to Japanese---YET. Mould test kits are available at http://www.envirodetectives.com/mold_test_kits.htm and would be sent to you in Japan via postal airmail from the USA. With your family's health problems, you would be wise to move a mould-safe place as soon as possible. Prior to moving into the new place to live, be sure to use mould test kits to mould test the air of each room therein and of the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mould spores, in comparison to an outdoor mould control test. Mould is a huge health risk in Japan because of the nation's high humidity and rampant, unmitigated mould growth.
