CHENEY'S MEMORANDUM ON
Exposure to mold toxin can be a significant hazard even to healthy individuals. This hazard can be even worse for CFS patients since their capacity to detoxify toxins, as well as their underlying immune activation (Th2 type), amplifies that hazard. For those patients potentially exposed to mold, we recommend that you examine three or more rooms in which you spend the most time using special mold culture plates. These plates can be ordered from Prestige Publishing Company in Syracuse, NY for $27.50 each, plus shipping. The plates are opened up to air about waist high in the center of the room for one hour and then closed up and shipped via the enclosed mailer back to Syracuse, New York. Results on mold exposure (expressed in colony numbers) will be returned to the patient in 10 - 12 weeks. The number for ordering mold plates is 1-800-846-6687 (Prestige Publishing) which handles the books and other environmental recommendations of Dr. Sherry Rodgers, a physician and noted expert in environmental medicine. This information came from our January 2002 newsletter.
