Mold
The silent killer.
Mold is a toxic substance which can cause a wide variety of symptoms in the body, making it extremely difficult to diagnose. Unfortunately, mold illness also flies under the radar of many doctors.
What makes it even more difficult is that people can respond differently in the same moldy household. You can have one family member with minor symptoms, and someone else with severe systemic inflammation, migraines, head-to-toe eczema and neurological problems.
Mold has two weapons:
- Mold spores which can cause allergies & asthma in some people.
- Mycotoxins - toxic fumes which affect everyone.
Symptoms of mold illness include:
- Itchy, red, watery eyes
- Visual changes (blurred vision, problems focusing, double vision)
- Allergies
- Sneezing & sinus congestion
- Hives
- Eczema
- Unexplained fatigue - "running on low battery all the time"
- Electric shocks or zaps on the skin
- Anxiety
- Heart palpitations
- Insomnia
- Increased urination at night
- Brain fog & forgetfulness
- Weight gain/can't lose weight
- Joint pain & body aches
- Sensitivity to EMFs
How do you know if you have mold?
One of the best tests you can do is an Organic Acid Test (OAT) + a Mycotox profile.Â
If you have mold illness – the most important thing to do is to find and eliminate the source. We recommend the use of an expert mold remediator.
Treatment requires patience and persistence. Appropriate binders are also required to grab the toxins and pull them from the body.
