I have a similar history with negative ionizers. I'd say that ion density is really the key factor in preventing mold and other bacteria from getting out of hand. What exactly is produced by contemporary negative ion generators/ i thought this was an interesting tidbit. best. =z=

Could use some advice on PREVENTING mold To: silver-list@eskimo.com Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 11:43 AM I can help you with this. Did you know mold/pathogens/fungus grow better in higher EMF and Positive Ion fields? It's true, and they've known about this for decades. Now think about all of those positive ion generators (cell towers) dotting the landscape to know the gravity of this situation! That means WiFi in your home, and other wireless techs, you are inadvertently increasing the amount of serious pathogens in your environment. I always recommend people toss out their wireless techs, if nothing else, because of the damage they can do to your blood. These days in my tests, I find a lot of people have something I call "EMF-Asthma", it's electronically induced! Anyway... What I would do? Introduce negative ions into your basement using one of the actual working ionizers out there. I have a very expensive instrument to test ions, and I can tell you 99% of every single negative ionizer sold in major retailers simple doesn't work - at all. (and I only found 2 on the internet what worked as advertised) Negative ions also keep the mold spores from staying airborne and entering your bloodstream. I have 8 of these in my home: http://www.mysticmarvels.com/ionprojector1.html (Including the basement to keep harmful mold from growing) Second thing, I have my own cleaning/disinfectant/fungal/mold killing solution I created, it works amazingly well. I use it everywhere. I will give you the ingredients, and you can make it yourself. Depending on container size I vary the amount of ingredients. You can spray this on walls to keep mold from growing. Ingredients are: Colloidal Silver (home made) Eucalyptus Oil (2-3 droppers) Camhor Oil (2-3 droppers) Grapefruit Seed Extract (1 full dropper) Holy Water (I'm spiritual, I use it everywhere) I use 100% essential oils from Ebay, quite cheap. Put it all on a spray bottle, shake it up real good, then use it anywhere you want. In my opinion it also kills weaponized pathogens, nematodes, H1N1, Morgellans, and most likely MRSA and other things. I use it everywhere, and sometimes I vary the recipe a good bit to keep the pathogens off balance. Such as adding Tea Tree once in awhile, or whatever. You can place this into a bucket, then use a mop on your walls to kill off or prevent mold growth. Vinegar is a powerful ally as well, keep a couple gallons in the home, you can clean and spray with this to keep mold down as well! Some additional links... http://www.nutritionreview.org/library/negative.ions.html Consumer devices that utilize negative ion-generating technology have been shown to eliminate airborne pollutants, dust, cigarette smoke, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, viruses, and bacteria from the air. Negative ions have long been attributed to improvements in mood and physical health. Research supports the view that negative ions have a net positive effect on health, including improved mood, stabilized catecholamine regulation and circadian rhythm, enhanced recovery from physical exertion and protection from positive ion-related stress and exhaustion disorders. http://www.negativeiongenerators.com/ Refreshing Negative Ions Help Eliminate pollen, mold spores, dust, pet dander, and many other allergy causing particulates from the air you breathe.

Lisa wrote: Hi All, Our boiler died on Friday leaving us with several inches of water in the basement which traveled to carpeted areas. We have vacuumed and also have a dehumidifier running…and it’s lots better but definitely still damp. It wasn’t caught right away so there was steam everywhere and condensation on the walls (almost like a sauna etc.). The boiler will be fixed this week (hopefully…funds are low blah blah blah) but my major concern is mold and mildew. Does anybody have any ideas on how to PREVENT mold from starting? Anything would be helpful as I’m just about clueless…we can’t afford Serve Pro or any other professional to come in and help. I do have a pretty good sized fan (it sounds like an airplane) that I can use…but it’s been raining all weekend (yea…NOT!) and didn’t think it made any sense opening up the windows to potentially allow any more moisture IN. Anybody? Please? And I thank you for even the silliest idea as aside from running the dehumidifier (which by no means is commercial) – I honestly don’t have a clue. Thanks SO much. Lisa
