Chronic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

My mom was exposed to CO for several months and experienced symptoms very similar to you. I would like to hear more about your experiences and treatment. Please pm me. Thank you so much.

After my CO poisoning, I am trying to educate because I've discovered a lack of knowledge in professionals, doctors, and governmental agencies. It is no wonder that CO is America's #1 unintentional poisoning.


These first 2 articles also have great links to more info and CO news.

This site has charts from a CO study that make it all very visual:

I was poisoned 4 years ago and since then, my life has been hell. I couldn\'t remember a simple thing. It was impossible to imagine a life like that. Hopefully, my mum was there to support me. I have created a website where I explain how I recovered.
Don\'t hesitate to ask me your questions.
I wish you all to recover!

Get hyperbaric therapy, even years after poisoning, it\'s the solution!!

I had carbon monoxide poisoning three years ago. The leak was found after probably 6 years of living in the home, and I'm pretty sure it was going on underneath everything else from the time we moved in. The lady who lived there before was named Mabel Collier, and she died of a severe onset of pnuemonia just a year before we bought the house.

The first year, was hellish mostly because it was so confusing. My marraige fell apart, my life seemed to be shattering piece by piece. I could't concentrate at work, I lost three family members- and my husband was suicidal for almost six months before he insisted on a divorce. We tried so hard to work things out that we almost killed each other.

Three years later.. I'm divorced, and in a happier relationship with another survivor who overcame it. Having found little relief or help from local doctors, it took me two years to find Accupuncturist Jen Stone who knew right off the bat that the symptoms I was experiencing were directly related to CO poisoning. After the first six months of being sick, I knew for sure I was experiencing something that very few others could understand or relate to.

So, I started doing extensive research on the computer and using my phone to do research online even when I was bed ridden- I just couldn't stop looking for an answer.

So, three years later- I've found that it's a systemic immune system problem and that it's cellular. The healthier your mitochondria are, the better off you are in general. I started on a cycle of hormonal blend herbs from Solaray, Acai Berry Juice daily, and a high dosage of Adora's Calcium Magnesium D3 chocolate tablets- as well as dramatically changing my diet to be almost completely gluten free, MSG free, low salt, high protein, very few raw vegetables, etc etc etc.

Last winter the sauna really really really helped, and I can't express how much just walking everyday, and using a sauna or a jacuzzi can help bend the healing process to your will.

It's not undefeatable. I worry about all the same things everyday- especially regarding the brain damage. Starting this month, I'm doing an oxygen therapy treatment which uses an oxygen concentrator for 2 or more hours per day in your own home- and you don't need a prescription if you're buying used through another user.

Amazingly? In all that crap- I learned something really important. Take care of yourself, because nobody else will- and forgive others who don't understand it's not their experience. Lean on the people that won't judge you, and give back whenever you can. It does come back to bless you if you let it.

I wish you all hope, healing, and happiness.. we all have our own journeys to learn from. Check out my new facebook group and I'd love to chat with more survivors as I meet them.. it brings us all hope to know we're not the only people who have suffered and struggled with the obstacles of CO poisoning.
