Dementia is one of the most common diseases in the elderly population. Dementia, which affects all functions, can start with minor symptoms and progress rapidly. Dementia, which is mostly seen in people over the age of 60, can also be seen in young people. A woman from Sydney named Amie Skilton even forgot her own name when she was 37 years old due to an illness due to the humidity in the house they moved to. Amie discovered that long-term exposure causes “systematic deterioration” in her body, due to a genetic vulnerability to moldy mildew by highly humid household toxins. She began to experience chronic allergies and suddenly gained 10 kg, she felt tired all the time. After the first symptoms, he started to experience decreases in brain functions in the following months.
25% OF THE POPULATION IS AFFECTED BY MOLD
Within 25 percent of the Australian population there is a genetic vulnerability to mold toxins, meaning exposure to mold causes a massive inflammatory response in the body and can even cause organ damage. Amie Skilton also had this genetics.
“I was confused about how to wear clothes”
Within a few months, his brain functions began to be affected and he was eventually diagnosed with inhalational Alzheimer’s (Type 3 Alzheimer’s). Amie said, “Some days I couldn’t figure out how to dress. I would look at the clothes and get really confused about how to wear them.”
THE DOCTORS DIDN’T FIND WHY HE CAUGHT THE DISEASE
The most terrifying experience put Amie in a situation where she couldn’t even remember her own name. Doctors found no answers as to why he had the dreaded illness when his blood tests returned to normal. Since Amie and the doctors she talked to were not aware of the mold growing in her house, all the tests they did were giving good results.
THEY SEE THAT THE MATTRESS TURNED GREEN
He found out on an online forum that he had the idea of a mold-related illness and remembered that when he first moved in, there was a problem with a leak in the garage below his apartment. Amie called a specialist who mapped the leak and discovered that the property was running under the carpet. She said: “The carpet looked perfectly fine on top but when I lifted it there was black mold underneath. When we finally took our mattress out, we found it was green.”
FIVE YEARS AFTER HEALING
Five years after Amie was diagnosed with the disease, she became symptom-free and her brain function returned to normal. Amie encouraged people to keep mold-related illnesses in mind and contact a building biologist if they suspect they are suffering from it.
