Mold toxicity and the progressive illness that results is occult, which makes it difficult to uncover and treat.
Symptoms vary widely among patients depending on epigenetic factors that affect how the body reacts to toxins.
Some may have digestive problems; others have skin outbreaks that come and go.
Chronic sinus problems, fatigue, and brain fog are common to most.
Patients may be fine for years after exposure, making it even more difficult for clinicians to uncover if they obtain a recent medical history and don’t go far enough into the patient’s environmental history.
We look as far as we need to into the patient’s history to investigate all potential reasons for the mysterious symptoms, which often wax and wane over the years.
Patients will spend decades going from one specialist to another only to get prescriptions to treat the symptoms.
The ultimate cost to treating symptoms instead of uncovering and treating the cause is that mold toxicity can progress to a serious degenerative condition such as cancer or autoimmune conditions.
Once it is suspected that the patient has been exposed to mold for a long period of time (older homes, water leaks, work exposure), we recommend the Great Plains 24-hour urine test.
This test can diagnose several different kinds of mold, each having its own consequences to health.
Treatments for Mold Toxicity
The treatment has 3 phases and can take up to a year.
The first phase involves using binders, which may be done safely in the long term.
The second and third phases involve liver detoxification and immune system activation.
Understanding how mold burdens the immune system and liver is important to understanding why completing all 3 phases is critical to eliminating mold from the tissues.
Even though the treatment lasts months to a year, patients are encouraged early on as they feel more energy and mental clarity.
