Toxic Mold
Brain Damage Similar
to
Alzheimer's Disease Damage
Because
the effects of toxic mold (especially the brain-destroying Stachybotrys
black mold) are very similar to Alzheimer's
Disease [in such ways as the loss of memory and ability to think logically,
and feeling disconnected from the world around], it is possible that
relatives and friends of toxic mold victims think that their relative's
memory losses and mental diminishment are a sign of advancing age, or of
the onset of Alzheimer's Disease. Medical researchers strongly believe
that environmental factors help trigger what is ultimately a genetic
condition. [USA Weekend, Aug. 31- Sept. 2, 2001, p. 6] Mold
contamination may be one of those environmental factors!
If someone is experiencing memory losses and
difficulty in thinking, the person's home, office, and other living and
working space should be tested for the presence of toxic mold and other
unhealthy molds. Unlike Alzheimer's that presently has no cure, mold CAN BE
TESTED FOR AND REMOVED SAFELY.
In addition the
environment of people with Alzheimer's should be living in a mold- free
environment so that the effects of toxic mold don't complicate and worsen
the already deteriorating mental abilities of residents of moldy
areas.
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the gradual spread of
sticky plaques and clumps of tangled fibers that disrupt the delicate
organization of nerve cells in the brain. As brain cells stop
communicating with one another, they atrophy — causing memory and
reasoning to fade
1.
Tangles and plaques first appear in the entorhinal
cortex, an essential memory processing center needed for making new memories and retrieving old ones
2.
Over time they move higher, invading the hippocapus, the past of the
brain that forms complex memories of events or objects
3.
Finally the tangles and plaques reach the top of the brain, or neocortex, the "executive" that sorts through stimuli and orchestrates all behavior. [The above illustration and
