Acudetox for the treatment of addiction.  This form of acupuncture involves 5 points in each outer ear that unblock the meridians involving the Shen Men or “Spirit Gate”, Sympathetic, Kidney, Liver & Lung providing for improved movement of Chi (Qi), the “life force” that acupuncture is based upon.  It doubles the rate of long-term attainment and maintenance of sobriety/being clean from drugs of abuse as it improves pathways of emotional healing within the brain that are tied to the issues related to addiction.

Alpha-Stim for Pain & Anxiety Therapy

This device provided significant improvement of 93% in 1,949 pain patients who used Alpha-Stim for a minimum of three weeks. Most of these people failed to get results from previous therapies or they would never have acquired an Alpha-Stim in the first place.  The Alpha-Stim is also a lot more cost effective than almost any other treatment for pain and stress-related disorders. Once the device is purchased it costs very little to use. Most drugs cost more than an Alpha-Stim after just a few months.  It eases the brain into a relaxing brain-wave pattern that removes anxiety and greatly reduces pain.

Policy Holders of America Water-Damaged Building Bibliography July 2010

Written in 2010 by Dr. Shoemaker and others familiar with CIRS, this document is 160 pages of peer-reviewed scientific and medical literature documenting the state of the art at that time, useful for arguing with insurance companies and any other parties that don’t “believe” in mold as a health problem (like it’s theology, a belief system and not biology)!

Diagnosis and Treatment of Illness Caused by Contaminants in Water-Damaged Buildings June 2018

Written by the Global Indoor Health Network, this paper is an update of the prior work (above), describing a problem that is even detailed in the book of Leviticus 14:36-48 of the Bible (How’s that for a historical perspective)!?  As the introduction to the paper states;

“However, there are thousands of research papers on this topic  that describe the significant health effects of indoor air contaminants.  The significant risk of illness caused by contaminants inside water-damaged homes,  schools and businesses is summed up in the following statements from the World Health Organization:

Indoor air pollution – such as from dampness and mould, chemicals and other biological agents – is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1

Indoor dampness is estimated to affect 10–50% of indoor environments in Europe, North America, Australia, India and Japan.   In certain settings, such as river valleys
and coastal areas, the conditions of dampness are substantially more severe than the national averages for such conditions.1

As we will discuss throughout this paper, the contaminants in water-damaged buildings can include molds, mycotoxins, bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other types of contaminants. Each of these contaminants can cause serious health effects.

Because these contaminants can cause health effects through absorption or inhalation, there is the potential for many different body systems to be affected. Research papers on this topic describe a wide range of symptoms. In a research paper by Dr. Harriet Ammann, she lists the potential system effects in the following categories: vascular, digestive, respiratory, nervous, cutaneous, urinary, reproductive and immune.2-3″

Air Purification;

Filters remove from the air, a HEPA filter removes 99.97% of particles >6 µm.

Purifiers add to the air, typically ions and/or free radicals to chemically react with and change toxins.

Filters cannot remove VOC’s, purifiers can alter them to less toxic substances.

Building Probiotics

www.betterairus.com is an Israeli company that came up with a fascinating solution.  

Biotoxins are generally weapons directed at other microbes, not at people (we’re just “collateral damage”).  This company came up with a group of predominantly soil-based spore-forming bacteria that are not harmful to people but ARE harmful to other microbes.  Their device puts these beneficial germs into the air to be spread around your house by natural air currents which enable the good germs to seed inside of walls and other areas unreachable by people.  Once there, the germs fight toxin-producing species.  

One caveat, using this system WITH air purification systems may be counterproductive, as the air purifiers may harm the good germs, at least until the good germs have had a chance to establish a strong presence within the building.   Once that happens, the good germs should be OK and the purifiers may be able to break down the toxins produced by any remaining bad germs.
