Insights about how spritizing a fern can cause mold to grow

3 Simple Steps
For Success

I wish I could go back and do it all over again with the knowledge and information I have today .... because I would have done so many things DIFFERENTLY ! 


LOOKING BACK:  I would have focused on the 3 simple steps (outlined below) and made them a huge priority in my life. I know they would have ignited a rippling effect that would have fixed my health in record time.

Insights about how you can get sicker if your environment contains toxins.

HARD LESSONS LEARNED:  My healthcare journey was needlessly challenging for over 40 years due to a common, easily treatable mold allergy that went undiagnosed. Doctors failed to run a simple blood test for the HLA-DR Gene, a test that could have provided a quick diagnosis.


RECOGNIZING MEDICAL NEGLIGANCE:  During a recent mold exposure incident, I sought help at Tampa General Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center nearby. The attending physician not only refused to listen. but also insulted and dismissed me due to his ignorance of mold illness. He later admitted he had never heard of it and even questioned its legitimacy. This situation highlighted the serious issue of medical negligence, where healthcare professionals fail to provide standard care, potentially leading to harm or death. Realizing I couldn't trust this doctor, I took control of my own health.

WHEN DOCTORS DON'T LISTEN:  I patiently explained my situation to the doctor, mentioning Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker's research on mold illness and my experienced Functional Medicine Doctor who spent years in a busy Emergency Room. Despite this, he remained dismissive.


DEMANDING RESPECT: I also mentioned my Board-Certified Patient Advocate status and decades of medical advocacy, but his response was, "Then why are you here?" I asked if I should have gone to a walk-in clinic instead, but he didn't answer and walked away. His closed-mindedness hindered access to valuable information available online.

There is something 
SO WRONG 
When you know MORE
than Your Doctors does.

DRAWING BOUNDARIES:  I made the firm decision that day to NEVER take any of my Medical Advocacy Patients to Tampa General Hospital for emergency room care ever again. I also reaffirmed my commitment to ask any doctor, "What do you know about CIRS Disease?" If they're unaware, I'll seek help elsewhere. If your doctor doesn't listen or learn about your condition, it's crucial to get out and find someone who will. Your life is too precious to risk.



JAW

DROPPING !!

A DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS:   Insights into my health are crucial because any mold exposure can jeopardize my well-being due to CIRS Disease. It's a progressive, multi-system illness caused by biotoxin exposure, leading to inflammation that can affect various organs. Proper detoxification and using the right "binders" are essential to eliminate mycotoxins.

Questions, Questions,
Questions !!

A TON OF QUESTIONS:  After getting diagnosed, I faced a multitude of unanswered questions and had to search for solutions on my own. It was a challenging journey, and I often wished for guidance and support.


FIGURING IT ALL OUT: I wondered about testing my home and office, whether to hire a professional or do it myself, which testing method to use, and if it was safe to remediate alone. Questions about what to keep, replacing items, and detoxifying my body also weighed on my mind. I sought answers to costs, duration, and where to begin.

BEING PATIENT & PERSISTENT:  Fixing my health turned out to be much tougher and filled with conflicting information than I ever imagined. It took longer and cost more than it should have. Ultimately, I distilled it all into 3 Simple Steps, the key to my success, and the framework for regaining control of my health and life.


Hopefully YOU Can Learn

From My Mistakes !!



3 SIMPLE STEPS
FOR YOUR SUCCESS

STEP 1:
Get You OUT
of the Toxins !!

You've Got To Stop Being Exposed To The "Toxins"
If You Want To Fix Your Health.

INVISIBLE HEALTH HAZARDS:  Mold, toxins & chemicals are silent killers. Most often, you will not be able to see them, smell them, touch them, taste them, or hear them. They'll be hidden in your food, water & air supply, and will silently be making you sick. So, you've got to find them and fix them ... as soon as you can. Because the longer you're exposed to them, the sicker you're likely to be. Also, it doesn't matter if you have an allergy to those toxins & chemicals (or not), because everyone, everywhere is susceptible to all kinds of health issues from them.

It's simple. 
Yet NOT that Easy !!


STEP 2:
Get The Toxins 
Out of YOU !!

You've got to completely "detoxify" your body
if you want to get the toxins out.




NOBODY IS IMMUNE - NOT EVEN YOU
:
 Nobody is immune from toxins & chemicals ... NOBODY. I don't care who you are, where you live, what your age, or physical condition, nor how rich - or poor - you are. Sickness comes to everyone, everywhere, when they build up enough toxins in their body and they can't fight it off any longer. It's only a matter of time.


GUARD YOUR HEALTH:  Simple everyday items can become harmful to your health. They leach into your body and cause terrible symptoms and debilitating disease. So, take the steps necessary to reduce your overall exposure and learn how to detoxify your body properly. Your health is at stake. Please don't take that lightly!  Because a healthy person has a thousand wishes, but a sick person has just 1. So, put your health first. It needs to mean everything.

The average person is exposed to
700,000 toxic chemicals
EVERY DAY !!


STEP 3:
Keep Your Home & Workspace 
Forever Safe !!

You've got to be "proactive" about your health and learn to live a 

preventative lifestyle in order to minimize the toxins you're being exposed to.

LEARN "HOW TO" BECOME TOXIN FREE: There's so much to learn about, (and know), when it comes to getting YOU out of the toxins & the toxins OUT of you. And so much to figure out to keep your space forever safe. It can feel overwhelming at times just trying to figure this all out. So much so that it's easy to ge"analysis paralysis." And feel like as much as you know, and as far as you've come, there's so much farther to go. But regardless of the path you take, you need to continue chipping away at it and figure out how to keep your home and workspace safe.


FIND SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX PROBLEMS: I've got the solutions to make that happen! With my Educational Coaching & Training Programs and my Guided Detoxification Programs, you'll have all the tools & resources you need at your disposal. Say goodbye to the overwhelming task of figuring everything out on your own because we'll be right by your side, providing you with the expert guidance and support you need ... every-step-of-the-way.

Remember, an Ounce of Prevention
is worth a pound
of CURE !!

Getting healthy
and staying healthy
is easy as 1,2,3

  • Get you OUT of the toxins & chemicals.
  • Get the toxins & chemicals out of YOU.
  • Keep your space FOREVER safe.

... IT'S THAT EASY !



My Mold
REMEDIATION
Journey



REMEDIATION #1

THE 1ST REMEDIATION:  My first mold remediation project was relatively easy compared to the others. Over my life, I've dealt with 5 different projects and numerous mold encounters. The initial one was simple because I could visibly see the mold on the dresser's backside, which resulted from a damp environment caused by a fern. I removed the dresser, replaced the carpet, got a new bed, painted the room with mold-resistant products, and quickly started feeling better.



REMEDIATION #2

THE 2ND REMEDIATION: My 2nd mold remediation project was NOT that easy to figure out. That's because the mold was on the inside of the concrete block walls of my son's bedroom. It wasn't until we finally got the Environmental Protection Agency & Health Department out that we figured out the problem.


The original builder of our home buried garbage (scraps of wallboard, wood, insulation, etc.) up against the house when it was first built. The garbage never decomposed. Decades later, we installed a beautiful planter box with amazing new shrubs and flowers and automatic sprinklers that watered it regularly. The water seeped into the walls and created the mold that then got my son and I so sick. 



REMEDIATION #3

THE 3RD REMEDIATION: My 3rd mold remediation product (and the only that was NOT successful) was the one that I had at my office. I had a 5-room office suite in a professional office complex. It had a big drainage ditch around it that was always filled with water ... even on a bright and sunny day. The water seeped into the floors of the building and into the walls and the Air Conditioning System, creating the mold that nearly killed me. It also made several other people really sick.

That's When I Learned the
TOUGH LESSON OF ...
CAN'T vs. WON'T

A BIG MISTAKE MADE: I convinced myself that I CAN'T leave the building because, "I'm way too busy. I've got too much to do. Too many people relying on me. Too many bills to pay. Besides, it's too much of a hassle" I said.  Then, I nearly died and learned my lesson. What good would I be to anyone else if I was dead? NONE! I put my life in jeopardy because I didn't have my priorities straight. Rather than telling myself "I can't get out" ... I was really telling myself, "I WON'T get out". Can't vs. won't  ... there's a really BIG difference there. Learn it.

WHAT I SHOULD HAVE
SAID WAS:

Get OUT ...
Or you might DIE !!

GETTING LAST RITES - TWICE:  My attitude quickly changed when I had a priest standing over me giving me last rites and I saw the look of horror on my son's and husband's face as they came into the ER room to say goodbye. It was such a surreal experience and it happened so fast. Before I knew it, I was hooked up to a heart bypass machine and being critical care transferred to another hospital for open heart surgery. 

HAUNTED BY MY DECISIONS:  HAUNTED BY MY DECISIONS: I should have died; I can't erase that memory or turn back time. It left me with PTSD, and the sound of an ambulance triggers vivid flashbacks to that day - the chaos, urgency, the ambulance ride, the frantic ER, my family's fear, and the intense procedure to unblock a blood clot in my heart. Then, the anxious wait for critical care transport to the second hospital, followed by open heart surgery, two days of unconsciousness, and ten more days in critical care.


MOVE FORWARD WITH PURPOSE & INTENTION:  No matter the effort or cost, take action now. Stop the exposure that's making you sick to avoid permanent illness, injury, or even death. Remember, your decisions have consequences, and hesitating or cutting corners in seeking proper care can lead to devastating outcomes. Your well-being is invaluable, and ignoring it comes at an immeasurable cost. Don't gamble with your life; it's not worth risking.



REMEDIATION #4

THE 4TH REMEDIATION:  My fourth mold remediation was prompted by multiple kitchen leaks that caused mold to grow beneath the cabinets. My mold symptoms returned unexpectedly, leading me back to the Emergency Room due to breathing difficulties.


Several flooding incidents occurred over the years, including leaks from the dishwasher, icemaker, and sink, making it challenging to pinpoint the root cause. Despite our proactive cleanup efforts, this remediation was the costliest, totaling $25,000 in repairs, even though we did most of the work ourselves. The frustrating part was that after three months of detoxing with CellCore Biosciences, I saw no improvement, despite knowing what needed to be done from previous successful detox experiences. This led us to investigate further mold issues.



REMEDIATION #5

THE 5TH REMEDIATION: In my bathroom, the fifth mold remediation project revealed mold behind the tile walls and beneath the tub, necessitating a complete overhaul. People asked me why I didn't move, but I questioned where to go. With water damage so prevalent in buildings (over 70%), and living in Florida, chances were other places had mold issues too. Staying in my own home gave me control and knowledge of past remediation efforts.


When dealing with mold, you must weigh the pros and cons and find your own path. I was fortunate to have a handy husband and supportive friends who put their lives on hold to help, making the decision to stay an easy one. I'm glad I did it, but I wish I had known sooner and had a more reliable mold inspector, as we lost valuable time, money, and energy on unreliable and inaccurate air samples.



Valuable Lessons

That I've Learned First-Hand

LIVING OR WORKING IN AN UNSAFE SPACE:   Your living and working environment significantly impacts your health. Contamination with mold, toxins, and chemicals hinders your healing process. How can you expect to recover when constantly exposed to the very thing making you sick? Addressing the "root cause" head-on is crucial. If you or your loved ones have health issues, start by examining your home and work environment. Identify and rule out potential contributors to your symptoms and health problems.

It's Hard to Heal Your Body
WHEN YOU'RE
LIVING & WORKING

Inside of What's Causing the Problem !

HIRE YOURSELF AN EXPERT:  Have your home and workplace inspected by a reputable professional specializing in mold and environmental toxins. Ensure they conduct comprehensive testing for all potential issues. Avoid relying on inexpensive hardware store kits or air samples, which lack reliability.


GET COMPREHESIVE TESTING:  Invest wisely in a qualified environmental inspector like a Building Biologist or Indoor Environmental Professional. They can thoroughly inspect and test every aspect of your space, including mold, EMF's, radon, radiation, and more.

It's essential to get this right ...
from the very start.
SO, DO NOT CUT CORNERS.

NOT HERE.

NOT EVER !

Spend the money and
get it done RIGHT.

Remember,
Cheap IS Expensive !!


Incredible Insights

That I've Gained From Others

DON'T PUT IT OFF:  I cannot tell you HOW MANY TIMES I've had clients who have been sick for a LONG time, who come to me for help & support, but who, despite my advice, neglect to get their homes properly tested for both mold and/or environmental toxins. It happens ALL THE TIME. They won't spent $500, $1,000 or even $2,000 to make sure their home is completely 100% safe, but they'll spend $3,500, $5,000, $10,000 or more on hospitalizations, rehabilitations & recoveries from their medical issues. Or they'll even think nothing of spending that amount (or more) on a luxury item, like new TV, computer, or vacation.

DON'T RISK YOUR HEALTH:  They end up wasting thousands trying detox or seeking evidence-based diagnoses, but the problem remains unresolved. Their health may even decline, leading them to seek my help again, only to discover they didn't heed my advice: to get their home, body, and workplace properly tested.


DON'T MAKE EXCUSES:  Their reasons vary, from financial constraints to lack of time or knowledge about where to find a reputable inspector. Some opt for DIY solutions despite my warnings, believing time will solve the issue.


DON'T MISS THE HIDDEN DANGERS:  Some trust their seemingly clean homes or shift blame to landlords who won't address the problem. Regardless of the excuse, they often remain unaware of the hidden dangers I can clearly see.

DON'T ACCEPT BEING DISMISSED:  It's infuriating when people's concerns are brushed aside by spouses, labeled as "crazy," or accused of exaggerating while they spend significant time, money, and energy on ineffective solutions. It's a recurring and frustrating story.


DON'T RISK BEING HOSPITALIZED:  Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time until they end up in the ER or face worsening complications from toxin exposure, leading to a vicious cycle. Besides the physical and emotional toll, they incur exorbitant medical costs, far surpassing what proper inspection would have cost. Tragically, some even lose their lives because they didn't listen, which is heartbreaking.


All it takes is a mindset shift

to  make the impossible become possible!

The word "Impossible" with the letters "IM" crossed out, transforming it into "Possible".

YOU'RE WORTH EVERY PENNY:  Ensuring your safety and well-being is worth every penny you pay. Because, when all is said and done, you can't take your money with you when you're gone. It will be no use to you if you're dead. Wealth means nothing if your health is compromised. So, fight for your health and to live ... A Better Life. You deserve to wake up every day feeling happy, healthy, and hopeful. To live your days in peach & harmony. So fight the good fight and work hard to be the best you that you can possibly be. It will be well worth your time & effort.
