    Abstract:
    
    This report describes the types of chromosome damage in peripheral blood found in patients exposed to domestic application of organophosphate pesticides. These changes serve as a biomarker of cumulative toxic exposure. Susceptible individuals show DNA damage as chromosome alterations.
    
    The importance of these findings is that the apparent genotoxic changes occurred from domestic application of two of the commonly used organophosphate pesticides in America and adds one more adverse potential effect from these hazardous chemicals. Peripheral blood from eight patients exposed to the domestic spraying of organophosphate pesticides was cultured and the chromosomes photographed.
    
    The types of chromosome alterations seen included chromatid and chromosome breaks, single and double minutes, dicentrics, rings, translocations, exchanges (including sister chromatid), and endoreduplications. Our findings support previous findings that organophosphate pesticides have genotoxic effects even at domestically sprayed levels.

    Dr. Alexander Haskell is licensed Naturopathic Physician with 30 years of experience. Mold exposure is in the background of many chronic illnesses and is seldom considered as an underlying cause or etiology by most physicians. We use darkfield microscopy, EAV testing and household mold testing for assessment.
    
    Therapies to reduce the body's burden of molds are oxidative treatments [Major Autohemotherapy (ozone) and hydrogen peroxide] and detoxification protocols including ozone saunas and lymphatic hydrotherapy.
    
    Of course other systems which have been negatively affected by and overwhelmed from chronic mold exposure such as adrenals, thyroid, intestines and the immune system must also be addressed and supported.

MD vs ND: What's the difference between an ND (Naturopathic Doctor) and an MD (Medical Doctor)?

• A medical doctor (MD) holds a medical degree for practicing medicine and is authorized as a graduate of a college of medicine or osteopathy and who is subsequently licensed by a medical board in his or her state or province of practice.
  See this "Medical Dictionary" definition at http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Medical+doctor
  
  Also see this NIH article:
  
  The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States: Cost Data - at https://nccih.nih.gov/news/camstats/costs/costdatafs.htm
• A nauropathic doctor (ND) practices naturopathic medicine: a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances which encourage the person's inherent self -healing process, the vis medicatrix naturae.
  
  A naturopath uses treatment approaches that include diet, lifestyle, stress reduction, herbs, dietary supplements, homeopathy, manipulative therapy, exercise, psychotherapy.
  See House of Delegates Position Paper Definition of Naturopathic Medicine, published by an association of naturopathic doctors, at www.naturopathic.org/files/Committees/.../Definition%20Naturopathic%20Medicine.pdf
  
  At the U.S. NIH, nccih.nih.gov/health/naturopathy
  
  Naturopathy—also called naturopathic medicine—is a medical system that has evolved from a combination of traditional practices and health care approaches popular in Europe during the 19th century.
  
  People visit naturopathic practitioners for various health-related purposes, including primary care, overall well-being, and treatment of illnesses.
  In the United States, naturopathy is practiced by naturopathic physicians, traditional naturopaths, and other health care providers who also offer naturopathic services.
  
  Homeopathy & homeopathic medicine: see this NIH page on homeopathy https://nccih.nih.gov/health/homeopathy
  Excerpt:
  
  There is little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific condition.

Thank you for the question on post mold-remediation test choices.

No "mold test" alone is nearly as reliable as a post-mold-remediation clearance procedure. Instead some actual visual inspection of the entire job for completeness, cleanliness, and cross-contamination into other building areas is appropriate.

See details at MOLD CLEARANCE INSPECTIONS https://inspectapedia.com/mold/Mold_Clearance_Inspections.php and don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions as they occur.
