Before we get into all the serious stuff, I thought you might enjoy a
good laugh. A cartoonist, who lives near me, offered to have his daily
comic strip on my site. I accepted. It is commonly known that laughing
is very good for you and your health. So, enjoy.

Welcome to my web site. My name is Daniel Mark Norris Newton Davis. I
am the Mold Missionary. I used to live in the wet climate of Oregon.
Now I live in Alaska, where the mold problems appear to be extensive.
After toxic mold devastated my health, with many multi-systemic and degenerative health problems, it became my mission to research and
understand how toxic mold was capable of degenerating my body so
rapidly. My quest revealed that toxic mold plays a major role in many
health problems, including degenerative diseases, aging and the
degenerative processes of the human body. My research comes from the
logical, practical and complexly simple viewpoint of a mold exposure
patient who has experienced it. The past several years I have been
collating the best research from around the world. Then I applied that
research to successfully reverse the degenerative effects toxic mold
had on my own health. As a result, I now enjoy some of the best health
of my life. It is now time to enlighten the world with the results of
my research.

If you have any toxic mold in your home, school or workplace, your
health is probably being affected in ways you do not realize is
connected to toxic mold. Especially if you or your child experience
any of the following;
----chronic unexplained headaches
----memory and retention problems
----comprehension and concentration problems
----autistic symptoms
----fog brain and lightheadedness
----loss of co-ordination
----high anxiety and heightened irritability
----sensitivity to light or sounds
----chronic earaches
----chronic sinus problems
----chronic stiff neck, unresponsive to massage
----asthma especially if triggered inside home
----unexplained rashes and skin problems
----dried cracking hands and fingers
----candida or yeast infection
----arthritis pain
----restless leg syndrome
----irritable bowel syndrome
----circulation problems
----chronic unexplained depression
----chronic fatigue syndrome
----or adverse reaction to antibiotics
All of these health symptoms, and many more, can be caused by toxic
mold found in a home, workplace or school. It can be growing inside
the walls, above the ceiling or, under the floor. It does not have to
be visible on the walls or ceiling in order for the occupants to be
affected. Toxic molds produce mycotoxins which are harmful to the
brain and vervous system. Some of the same toxic found in homes,
workplaces and schools are concentrated and weaponized to make some of
the most powerful biological weapons on Earth, the T-2 Mycotoxin
Biological Weapons.
Unfortunately, most doctors receive very little training in mycology
during medical school, less than veterinarians. As a result, a toxic
mold exposure is usually not correctly identified as the cause of a
toxic mold exposure patient's health problems. Too often this results
in misdiagnosis, sometimes with tragic consequences.
I have personally experienced most of the above mentioned health
symptoms, as a result of my own toxic mold exposure. The past several
years I have been collating the best research from around the world. I
applied that research to successfully reverse the dramatic
degenerative effects toxic mold had on my own health. As a result, I
now enjoy some of the best health of my life.
This site will show you how toxic mold in our environments can affect
people and their pets. The three underlying causations of degenerative
health problems from toxic mold are explained as well as the
communication of symptoms they manifest. The role mold plays in disproportionate rates of degenerative disease for different races and socio-economic groups is explored. How womens health is especially
affected by mold is identified.
Mold spores are in the air everywhere looking for the moisture
required to grow. Water from a shower, a leaky faucet or toilet
provides all the moisture needed for them to grow and multiply. If
dampened wood or sheetrock is not dried out within 24-72 hours, mold
will grow! Usually by the time mold becomes visible, it has already
established colonies inside your walls, ceilings and/or floors. It
starts affecting human occupants long before it becomes visible.
Mold spores and the mycotoxins they produce are far from harmless.
Some of them are extremely dangerous, especially when concentrated
inside a building such as a home, workplace or school. The longer a
person, especially a child, is in a building where there are
concentrated levels of a toxic mold, the more their health will be
affected.
ANY element entering your body have an affect on the chemistry of your
body. How much toxic molds affect the chemistry of people is dependent
on a number of factors;
1) The particular species of toxic mold. Different molds affect
different people in different ways.
2) The concentration level of the various molds inside the home,
workplace or school.
3) The length of exposure.
4) Your genetic susceptibility. 24% of us are genetically more
susceptible.
5) The level of mold fungi already accumulated inside your body.
The human body has difficulty cleaning mold fungi from the mucous
membranes throughout the human body, even under normal circumstances.
When a person is exposed to heightened levels of mold, especially
toxic mold, the cleaning systems are fighting a losing battle. More
and more mold fungi and their mycotoxins accumulate at a rate faster
than the cleaning systems are able to clean them out of the body. This overloads the cleaning systems, especially the lungs and the liver.
The incoming mold fungi get deep into the lungs and inhibit the lungs
from getting required amounts of oxygen needed by the body. The liver
is overloaded trying to process all the mycotoxins out of the body. If
the accumulating levels of mold fungi and their mycotoxins is not
reversed, it will inevitably lead to degenerative damaging of the
liver.
Since the beginning of time molds have been Mother Nature's recyclers
of all biological material. It is the job of mold to decompose,
degenerate, and break down all biological components to their basic
elements and return them to Mother Earth, from whence they came. Dust
to Dust. The cycle of life. And we are biological.
Mold Fungi need two things to grow; moisture and biological nutrients. Structural molds suck the moisture and nutrients out of building
materials like sheetrock and wood. Sheetrock then crumbles, and wood degenerates into dry rot. Where there is dry rot there is a mold
problem. Mold is what turned that wood into dry rot.
In people, especially children, these same structural molds can suck
the moisture and nutrients right out of the body. Although this
degenerative process is more complex in the human body than in
sheetrock or wood, these same molds still attempt to do their job. Our
bodies provide all the moisture and nutrients, such as carbohydrates,
which molds need to survive and grow. They deplete the body of
moisture, causing dry skin and scalps. Dandruff is a fungal condition.
This is why dandruf shampoos have an antifungal ingredient.
They love carbohydrates, depleting the body of them. This leaves the
body craving sugar carbohydrates. It is better to replace the depleted carohydrates with green vegetables. Mold fungi are non-chlorophyll in
nature, and don't like a chlorophyll rich environment. Replacing the
depleted carbohydrates with sugars feeds them, making them stronger.
The human body is always trying to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. Toxins such as mycotoxins are stored in the fat tissues.
The more mycotoxins and other toxins accumulating inside the body, the
more fat the body will produce to store the toxins in. Every fat
reduction program should include a detoxification program. If you
reduce the fat without reducing the toxins, the body will grow the fat
right back to store the toxins in.
In nature, it is all about survival. To them we are simply a supply of
moisture and biolological nutrients they require to survive. As they
consume moisture and nutrients from our bodies, it puts in motion a
chain reaction of cause and effects, degenerating the human body.
Underneath the complex spiderweb of cause and effects is the
underlying causations of mold fungi just doing their job.
There are three ways toxic mold degenerates the human body:
Molds Dehydrating the Human Body
The first way toxic mold degenerates the human body is dehydration.
This is due to their sucking the moisture out of the body for their
own use. This contributes to a state of under-hydration in the body.
Often this is further complicated by consumption of dehydration
substances, such as caffiene soda, coffee or alcohol. The human body
can survive longer without food than it can survive without water
(H2O). Water (H2O) is one of the two main ways the human body takes in
the oxygen it requires, in order to stay generative.
Mycotoxins Damaging the Brain and Central Nervous System
The second way toxic mold degenerates the human body is the production
of mycotoxins, which mold fungi use to kill off their microbial
competitors. These mycotoxins are very harmful, as they damage the
brain and central nervous system. This is why they concentrate and
weaponize some of these same structural molds, which are found in
homes, workplaces and schools, into some of the most powerful
biological weapons on earth, the T-2 Mycotoxins.
Studying what these mycotoxin biological weapons do to people within
2-4 hours of contact, gives us an end-case picture of what those same
molds do to a person in their normal state, over a longer period of
time. This is especially true when these mycotoxins are enclosed
inside a home, workplace or school, concentrating the mycotoxins to
dangerous levels.
Immune Complexes Interrupting the Circulatory System
The third way toxic mold degenerates the human body is interruption of
the circulatory system by immune complexes. In reaction to the mold
fungi invading the human body the immune system forms immune
complexes, or antigen-antibody complexes. They combine the mold
antigen with their antibody to form these complexes. These immune
complexes seek out and destroy the microbial invaders. The more mold
fungi entering the body, the more immune complexes formed, and the
more immune complexes circulating in the blood circulatory system.
Since the mold antigen is so large these particular immune complexes
end up being so large they often get stuck in, and block, the smaller capillaries. The blood capillaries are noodle-like passages used to
get oxygenated blood from the arteries to the cells and tissues. The
cells and tissues require an adequate flow rate of oxygenated blood to
repair themselve and generate to live. This restriction of the blood
flow rate, with the blood's life-giving element of oxygen, causes the
cells and tissues to degenerate and die. With the heart continuing to
pump blood, the pressure of blood building up behind these blockages
can contribute to high blood pressure, and increase the possibility of
a stroke or heart attack. They also dramatically impair the body's
ability to heal, especially in the muscle and skeletal system.
The bottom line is this. We accumulate mold fungi in our bodies faster
than our bodies are able to clean them out, even under normal
circumstances. If we live in an environment where the levels of mold
fungi are concentrated at high levels, they will accumulate in our
bodies even faster. Inside a home, workplace or school with a mold
problem, the accumulation of mold fungi in our bodies accellerates at
a rate corresponding to;
1) the qualitative strength(type of mold)
2) the quantitative strength(concentration level)
3) the duration of your exposure and
4) the level of previously accumulated mold fungi in your body.
The main route toxic molds use to enter and accumulate inside the
human body is;
Airborne Exposures Affecting the Respiratory System
Men and women are affected differently due to their physiological
differences and many generations of evolutionary adaptation to our environments.
Effects on Womens Health and the Female Reproductive System
There is much yet to understand about the Mind / Body connection. The subconscious autonomic communication network is constantly collecting information about our physiological condition from throughout the
body. It attempts to communicate this information to our conscious
mind to help us make important decisions. One way it attempts to
communicate physiological conditions to us is through emotions and
symptoms.
Depression
Animals have historically been used to warn people of harmful elements
in our environments. Animals and pets are also affected by toxic molds
in our environments.
