Low Amounts of Hydrogen Sulfide Appear to Damage Health

Health Boundaries Bite

The environmental report below shows hydrogen sulfide
existing in areas in my condo. What is important about this
is that if you read my notes kept while living in this small
amount of hydrogen sulfide you will see how greatly it
affected my health.

Testing Equipment Inadequately Calibrated

Taking note of the great impact on my health of a very
small amount of hydrogen sulfide is important because the
testing equipment used to test air in many working
environments is not calibrated low enough to catch such
small amounts. The result of calibration aimed at catching
only higher amounts of hydrogen sulfide is that people
working in those environments which are known to contain
hydrogen sulfide are told they are safe when in fact their
daily exposure may well be similar in their 8 hours of work
to that which had very damaging effects on my health.

Admittedly I was in the hydrogen sulfide 24/7, which is
three times more exposure than there would be for
someone working an 8 hour shift.

For me, the more I fell the less I left my condo. The more I
fell, the less I walked at all because of the tremendous
insecurity I felt when I was on my feet. I went to the store
where I could hold on to a cart to walk, and I went to the
casino because that's mainly sitting -- and the interesting
thing was that when I was driving home from the casino I
always felt so much better than I had been feeling, which I
attributed to a sense of having won. I always felt as if I had
won. In reality I think I felt so good because I had been out
of the hydrogen sulfide.

What Jobs or Home Environments Put You at Risk?

If you work in or live near a sewage treatment plant, oil
and gas drilling and refining; if you have ignored a missing
cap on your sewer pipe clean-out; or, if you have allowed
water in an unused sink trap to evaporate away, there can
be low levels of hydrogen sulfide that may be affecting
your health at different points, but primarily your nervous
system, breathing, and soft tissue.

Steps to Take if You Are at Risk

If you have a missing cleanout cap, replace it; run water in
your unused sinks and showers to fill the traps so that
sewer gas can't come into your home.

If you live in an area of oil and gas drilling, or you work in
a sewage treatment plant, then it would be good to have at
least two Epsom salts soaks a week. Epsom salts will
remove some of the toxin and it will reduce swelling, even
the swelling that is internal so that you can't see it.

Taking Milk Thistle will cleanse your liver which is dealing
with the toxins. Milk Thistle is highly effective.

What has helped me most is Methylcobalamin, the active
form of vitamin B12. It has helped me recover a great deal
of the feeling I had lost, and while I still bump into walls
and lose my balance a fall, I am a lot better than I was.

Because Methylcobalamin regenerates nerves it helps with
memory recovery, and it improves memory.

I find it extremely hopeful that Methylcobalamin has helped
me recover as much as it has. I am not entirely recovered,
but I am quite a lot better. And, that makes me think I can
regain even more health.
