radon gas

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Every year more people die from lung cancer than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined. Lung Cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, making up more than 25 percent of all cancer deaths. 
I spoke with Dr. Omar Ibrahim who is an interventional pulmonologist and top lung cancer doctor at UConn Health, about the different types of lung cancers, what causes lung cancer, when you should get screened and how to work through getting that kind of diagnosis. He says having a good support system in place and caregivers who can drive you to appointments and to treatments is very important for the patient's recovery. Diahann Wilcox is a nurse practitioner and tobacco treatment specialist, and she gives us information on how to quit smoking and the tools she uses to make that successful. She has private and group sessions at UConn Health. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer.

 For more information on lung cancer screening call UConn Health at 844-777-LUNG. A nurse navigator will call you back to discuss your eligibility for the screening test.

Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an integral role in nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Mold reproduces through tiny spores, which are like seeds but invisible to the naked eye, that float through the air and deposit on surfaces. When the temperature, moisture, and available nutrient conditions are correct, the spores can form new mold colonies where they are deposited. If this occurs naturally in nature, imagine the amount of mold it can accumulate in a closed environment due to flooding, leaky roofs, building maintenance, or indoor plumbing. Extended periods of indoor mold exposure can lead to serious health issues such as chronic fatigue, breathing problems, chronic inflammatory response syndrome, and brain fog.

In today's episode, my guest Tim Swackhammer, Founder and CEO of Mold Medics in Pittsburgh, PA, and Mold Medics Franchising, explains the signs of mold production due to different factors (vapor barriers) not only related to water and moisture accumulation. He guides us through a testing, inspection, and remediation process that any house or building owner should be aware of when trying to eliminate toxic mold for good.

Tim also gives us a real example of the adverse effects on a client and how this person had a tremendous improvement in her body and even her relationship by getting rid of toxic mold in her house. Finally, he explains radon gas and the health risks to people (lung cancer) when it infiltrates your home through cracks in the foundations, joints, and drains.
