Where Mold Grows
|
Toxic Mold is a silent killer, spreading through buildings in often unreachable places. Public awareness of this problem has [finally] exposed mold as the new biohazard. Without the total control of molds, their mico-toxins, and other Mold that synergistically exist in your environment, there can be no cure. Medicine can only be effective when you are not being poisoned by toxic molds on a daily basis.
Mold like all living organisms need nutrients to exist. Water (including high humidity levels) is the primary catalyst that eventuates mold spores (seeds) to flourish. Mold grows best in damp, dark places but can grow almost anywhere. Most molds grow microscopically, invisible to the naked eye. Mold spores are usually .3 to .5 microns in size.

Common locations where molds will be found:
Molds have existed longer than humans, and have always adapted under extreme conditions.
Mold cannot be combated using conventional household methods. Molds are highly affected by PH levels, and many of the toxic molds will not flourish in alkaline (PH levels below 7-Neutral) environments. Contrary to popular belief, mold CANNOT be effectively eradicated using chlorine (bleach) or other chemicals that elevate PH levels. The act of using these chemicals will cause the molds to flourish more rapidly. Most mold spores will survive the attack of common cleaning agents, and the act of cleaning will often disrupt the mold colonies causing the mold spores to be released into the air and re-circulated by the HVAC system(s).

Because mold is so elusive and has only recently been considered a major health hazard, there are no fully effective "Do-It-Yourself" methods currently on the market that can be used to eliminate all mold. Enviro-CURE is currently working to change this by packaging the materials we use when eradicating mold for consumer purchase. We have recently developed a Mold Incubation Kit that can be used to determine whether your home or work environment has hazardous levels of Toxic Molds.
