John's advice helped me through some of the most challenging times
in my life. I attribute much of my healing and comfort in my home
to him. This book is a must for anyone dealing with toxic mold.

I have had the privilege of working with John Banta for the past 15
years, and am delighted that his new book Mold Controlled is now
available. This will expand upon his previous book Prescriptions for
a Healthy House, and will be invaluable for those countless patients
and their families who are wrestling with mold toxicity. Mold
toxicity is not rare, but thought to impact 10 million Americans, and
those suffering with it are in desperate need for clear advice about
how to minimize their exposures at home and work so that they
can heal. In Mold Controlled, John has brought together a wealth of
information that will enable these patients to learn how to do this
properly. This is a "must read" for all who are struggling with mold
toxicity.

Body and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide

"This is an unbelievable, gargantuan piece of work. I know you're a prolific writer, but this is mind-blowing. I have no idea how you did it, and I'm stunned and happy to see you complete something so close to your heart. You've covered anything and everything professionals might encounter when it comes to buildings, moisture, mold, health, and the countless situations that arise. The graphic depictions of mold conditions and their underlying causes are especially valuable. This is the textbook for all dealing with these issues. Kudos."
