A Mold Recovery Blog

There are several indicators that your indoor humidity levels are causing mold growth.   If you experience one or several of these indicators on a constant basis in your home, office or school, it's most likely that you have a moisture issue:

  • Foggy condensation on the windows.  Windows can be fogging for two main reasons, one of those can be that the seal on the window has broken.  In this case, you will see fog "INSIDE" the two window panes.  However, if the condensation is on the inside of the window, you need to do more discovery inside the home to discover the cause of the moisture intrusion.  The 2nd one is more serious because this is the one that will grow hidden mold.
  • Mildew-like smell, especially on fabrics.  Not ALL molds smell.  In fact, some of the most dangerous molds have "no smell" whatsoever.  But if you do smell a musty type of odor, be sure that you definitely have a humidity issue fueling mold growth that is releasing mycotoxin and VOC's that you are smelling.
  • Spots of mold growing on the walls.  You'd think this would be the most obvious to people, however with the hundreds of clients I see every year you'd be surprised that people literally aren't alarmed by small mold growth or even large mold colonies more than a 5 ft. radius.  It's pretty astonishing how little people know about the dangers of mold.
  • Materials like wood or stucco easily crumble.  The common myth about crumbling wood or stucco is that it's just blown off as "wood rot" or "stucco rot".  It's not taken as serious as it should be.  If that particular spot was sampled and evaluated in an accredited lab, people would find more toxicity exists than they thought.
  • Floorboard Signs.  Wood and even MDF floorboards are particularly reactive to changing humidity levels. If your home is dry and the humidity is controlled, the floorboards for the most part, will stay flat and flush against the wall and be nice and smooth. If floorboards are swollen, separated, cracked, stained, or coming loose, this could be potentially an age issue -- or it could possibly be a signal that you need to do more inspection for a moisture issue.

  • Paint chips off of the wall easily.  When you see buckling in the paint, it's a clue that moisture is penetrating the drywall "behind" the paint itself. 
  • Intense allergies.  Mold "allergic reactions" can include: burning eyes, sneezing, itching face or skin, runny nose/itchy nose/stuffy nose, draining sinuses, dizziness, off balance, ear infections, gook in your eyes, sore throat, lingering cough, skin rashes and more......
  • Excessive moisture bugs.   Some bugs are dependent on moisture for survival. Some of these bugs can live in the house if they find sufficient humidity and food.  Silverfish, Termites, Earwigs, Mosquitos, Springtails, Spiders, Drain flies, Cockroaches, Ants, Dust Mites, Book Lice, Fungus Gnats, Mold Mites, Pill Bugs, Centipedes, Millipedes, Crickets, Scorpians, Pseudoscorpians, Bed Bugs, Stink Bugs, Slugs and Flees.
  • Difficulty sleeping.  Waking up frequently, agitation during sleep, heart palpitations, sleep apnea, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty waking up in the mornings or you feel like you've never slept.
  • Food left out goes bad quickly.  Fruits, Vegetables or Breads seem to show signs of going bad or visible mold on them quickly within days.

Your liver is your most important "soldier" in the fight against mold exposure. 

 Liver toxicity is an injury to the liver or impairment of the liver function caused by exposure to xenobiotics such as drugs, food additives, alcohol, chlorinated solvents in drinking water, peroxidized fatty acids, fungal toxins, radioactive isotopes, environmental toxicants, and even some medicinal plants

 

Here are my top 15 practical ways to support your liver and keep your liver detoxified to more easily handle getting rid of mold toxins.

  1. Intermittent fasting - from 6pm to 10am and only drink water or herbal teas during the hours of 6pm-10am.  Break your fast in at 10am with a protein-rich and good fat breakfast.  Good meal times are: 10am, 2pm and 5:30-6pm.
  2. Completely change your diet.  www.PhazeMoldDiet.com
    • Avoid inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar, processed seed oils and any foods that your body has a reaction to. 
    • Raw Juicing: The liver needs living enzymes, vitamin C, natural antibiotic substances, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and anti-cancer phyto-nutrients. Raw juicing is another way to gain the benefits from these foods. PhazeMoldDiet.com has great juicing recipes that are safe for a mold diet.
    • Consume more Vitamin K – green leafy vegetables and alfalfa sprouts.
    • Consume more Arginine – this helps the liver to detoxify excessive ammonia. Arginine is found in walnuts and seeds.
    • Manganese - this helps the liver to detoxify excessive ammonia from the liver.  these would be approved foods on the PhazeMoldDiet like: blackberries, Blueberries, Clove Spice, Pecans, Spinach,
    • Antioxidants – found in fresh raw juices such as carrot, celery, dandelion, (green) apple and green drinks from chorella and spirulina, and fresh citrus juice from lemons and limes. Try this Mold Detox Juicing Recipe
    • Seleniumsources of the antioxidant selenium are kelp, garlic and onions.
    • Methionine – is essential for detoxification. Is found in eggs, fish, garlic, onions, seeds and red meat.
    • Essential fatty acids – Seafood, cod liver oil, and fish oil. Seafood needs to always be fresh such as sardines, salmon, mackerel, tuna, trout, mullet, calamari, herring, blue eye cod. Fresh avocado, fresh organic raw nuts like almonds, walnuts and pecans and seeds, green vegetables such as spinach, green beans, eggplant, cold pressed fresh vegetable and seed oils, freshly ground seeds, especially flax seeds (linseed), evening primrose oil, black-currant seed oil, star flower oil. Essential fatty acids are required for healthy membranes in every cell of the body and plentiful amounts are required for healthy liver function. This is why strict low-fat diets are not beneficial for general health, weight control or liver detoxing function.
    • Natural sulphur compoundsFound in eggs (pastured eggs only), garlic, onions, leeks, shallots and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
  3. Get your bowel movements moving at least one a day if not twice (constipation causes mold toxins to recycle which is  huge stress on the liver) 
  4. Eat good fats and proteins early in the evening (dinner at 5-6pm) and avoid eating or snacking after 6pm.
  5. Remove non-life sustaining pharmaceutical drugs, smoking, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine (except for green tea) www.PhazeMoldDiet.com
  6. Eat 30 grams of fiber per day  that is approved on the www.PhazeMoldDiet.com - my favorite are 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed per day (this helps dump the estrogen created by exposure to mold) Mangos, Green Apples, Chia Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans (small amounts of nuts are approved).  And LOTS of vegetables!
  7. Incorporate the bitter foods into your Phaze Mold Diet - such as arugula, parsley, radishes, dandelion leaf; loose leaf herbal teas made from dandelion root, burdock root, turmeric, fennel, and ginger.  Or simply buy and add in digestive bitter tinctures into your smoothies, teas, soups or water. You can find digestive bitters here.
  8. Add digestive enzymes before meals (This will also get your bowel movements more regular.  I use "Silver Fern Brand" digestive enzymes. 
  9. Add NAC, the precursor for glutathione (the master detoxifier) - 900mg/day 
  10. Add in liver detoxifying herbs like milk thistle, andrographis, gentian root

    One of the best herbs you can get for detoxing that liver and opening up those pathways from the liver is to take "Milk Thistle".  As I have mentioned before I prefer the NOW brands in my recovery so I use the Silymarin which is actually 2 times the Milk Thistle and has added artichoke and dandelion root which are also great liver detoxifiers. You can buy it HERE 

    (CAUTION for Pyrrolurics and the use of Milk Thistle): Most often Milk Thistle is a good herb for detoxing the liver, however if you are positive for pyroluria more than likely you are also copper toxic. Milk Thistle has high concentrations of copper which can make Pyroluria symptoms worse. So if you are pyroluric DO NOT use Milk Thistle to cleanse the liver."
  11. Start your day off with a hot mug of filtered water and a squeeze of organic lemon juice from a lemon.  This detoxifies the liver firs thing in the morning.
  12. Calcium D Glucarate - Is an excellent assistant in the detoxification pathways for the liver.  I take about 1000mg-1500mg per day to detox dirty estrogens caused by environmental toxins and mold. You can search online for the best brand that is right for you.
  13. Get a water filter that filters out the majority of contaminants in your water that cause liver toxicity.  Not all water pitchers or water filters filter out everything.  Good water filters include: Berkey Systems, Auquasana, Aquatru
  14. Grow your own Broccoli Sprouts - Broccoli Sprouts have been shown in studies to clean and detoxify the liver.  If you have access to a whole foods or other natural food store that sells fresh broccoli sprouts, these are a great addition to your diet to help facilitate the cleansing of the liver.  If you want to save money, they are also very easy to grow.  I grow my own broccoli sprouts from home every week.  You can purchase broccoli sprouting kits on Amazon and there are plenty of "how to videos" on YouTube instructing you on how to grow your own broccoli sprouts.  I grow my own every 5 days from home!!
  15. Do your liver a favor and give it a "Coffee Enema" - If you want to get rid of mold toxins, have better digestion, get back your energy and a healthier liver, this is the best procedure you can invest your time in. This is by far a superior process for cleaning up the filtering processes of the body. 
    • Benefits of a coffee enema:
      • Enhances the liver enzyme, glutathione, which removes many toxins, including toxic mold from the blood
      • Dilutes and increases bile flow (Which is needed to transport mold toxins from the body)
      • Coffee enemas also help eliminate bacteria’s and candida in the colon. 
      • Reduces inflammation of the gut caused by Candida, poor diet and mold exposure
      • Coffee enemas are used as part of the Gerson Therapy cancer cure protocols. (which in an of itself is amazing to know).
      • Warnings: You should always seek the advice of your physician before taking coffee enemas.   Coffee enemas are not for everyone, but many people have had good results.  If you have issues with low potassium, or electrolytes please contact your doctor before doing them


 To find out who can and who cannot use coffee enemas. Make sure you have plenty of electrolytes and nutrition right before you do an enema. (coconut water, fresh juicing, himalayan salt in fresh filtered water, proteins, leafy greens also). Another contraindication reported is for people with heart or kidney ailments, as enemas can cause an electrolytic imbalance. BUY THE GERSON THERAPY BOOK HERE

HERE's what you'll need
Non-Toxic Stainless Steel Enema Kit
Why stainless and not rubber?  First off, many of the rubber or plastic enema kits are completely toxic in and of themselves.  If you have been exposed to mold, most-likely you will have developed MCS or (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities).  The rubber or plastic ones have such an awful odor that it could put you in a tail spin with MCS. Check online for good quality kits that are safe.

Organic Enema Coffee (Do not use standard drinking coffee) Specially formulated enema coffee is high in cafestol and palmitic acid which is needed to open the liver bile ducts. It is a very “clean” organic air roasted coffee and is not the same quality as store purchased coffees.

Most enema coffees are tested for mold or fungus They look to buy and sell specialty grade coffee. Mold or fungus damage on green coffee beans is considered a category 1 defect that would prevent it from being considered specialty grade in use for enemas.  Currently there has been a widespread growth of fungus found on lesser grade coffee beans.  You can buy specially formulated organic enema coffees HERE  Good brands are (Cafe Mam [the only coffee recommended in Gerson therapy book], PureLife, Core-Vital, Aussie Health, Premium Enema)

I hope you find this article easy to follow and I encourage you to detox your liver better as you move through this mold journey in your life.

PULLING TOXINS OUT by OPENING PATHWAYS

Before you start popping a bunch of supplements, antifungals, biofilm busters or antimicrobials you absolutely
MUST OPEN UP YOUR DETOX PATHWAYS 



Opening up the Detox Pathways is your "very first step" to begin your detox process.  Opening up these detoxification pathways in the body is REQUIRED in order to let the junk and Mycotoxins out of your body.   Detox pathways are like doorways that lead "out" and "away" from your body.  Our bodies were designed to have many "doorways that lead out".   After going through this the hard way myself, I found that it's best to "OPEN PATHWAYS" for your first entire month out of mold.  If you try to put things in your body to bind toxins or kill pathogens you are going to be "ONE SORRY HUMAN BEING".  The die-off without opening pathways is so severe it can put you in the hospital and make you feel like you are on the brink of death.  Taking the extra first month to open up these detoxification pathways will not only make you feel better but it will speed up your recovery from a mold exposure.
 

HOW?:  Rotate a different pathway each day. 

Here is an example:  
Monday - Armpit mask
Tuesday - 20 min Epsom foot soak
Wednesday - Dry Brush before showering
Thursday - 2-3 minutes in Sauna (work your way up)
Friday - 20 min Epsom Salt bath
Saturday - Bentonite Clay body mask
Sunday - Epsom Salt bath

Here are the doorways that your body has:

Skin/Pores
Ways to open up skin/pore pathways

 

Eliminate "Anti-Perspirant" deodorant use:  Check your deodorant for the words "anti-perspirant".  If these words appear anywhere on the packaging that means they use Aluminum in the ingredients.  Aluminum is toxic to the brain and clogs up your armpit pathways.  The armpits are one of the biggest places that your body gets rid of toxins and biotoxins.  If you have them blocked...you will remain toxic.

Epsom Salt baths.  1 cup of Epsom Salts for a full bath.  Soak for 20 minutes per day. 6 months.  You can also add 5-10 drops of essential oils to these epsom salt baths. 

Epsom Salt Foot Soaks - Soak feet in Epsom Salts for up to 20 minutes per day.  You will feel a detox feeling after. The bottom of the feet is a place where toxins can be excreted.

Armpit Binder Masks -  Make a paste using any binder by mixing it with water.  My favorite is Bentonite Clay or Charcoal.  Place the paste under your armpit and let it dry.  Let it absorb toxins through your armpits for up to 30 minutes then get in the shower and rinse. 

Saunas - Invest in a home sauna that you can use daily and weekly.  It can be quite expensive trying to book appointments to go to a place that has sauna packages.  Also another reason to buy your own is that you will realize that you will want to keep up sauna treatments the rest of your life because it will help you avoid "ever becoming toxic again".  It is a wise choice to purchase one of your own so that you can take control of your future health. 

  • Dry Sauna - *not as effective as infrared
  • Infrared Sauna - *more effective than dry sauna
    Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing and detoxification. Infrared light safely penetrates human tissue which pulls out mold toxins, chemical toxins and biotoxins.
    Below are my "picks" for home saunas on "any" budget.  From smaller more portable options that are cheaper to more permanent options that can last you a lifetime. 

Ultra low EMF
Far Infrared

$1800 - $2000 

 

LOW EMF
FAR Infrared
2 person

$1300 - $1500

 

Lowest EMF
for a portable Sauna
Infrared
One Person

$550

 

Liver
The liver second to the skin is the most important part of detoxing pathways when you have been exposed to mold and mycotoxins.  Here are many ways to support and keep those detox pathways open on a daily basis.
 

Keep the Liver "door" open with Coffee Enemas: If you want to get rid of mold toxins, have better digestion, get back your energy and a healthier gallbladder and liver, this is the best procedure you can invest your time in.

  • HERE's what you'll need
    1. Non-Toxic Stainless Steel Enema Kit
    Why stainless and not rubber?  First off, many of the rubber or plastic enema kits are completely toxic in and of themselves.  If you have been exposed to mold, most-likely you will have developed MCS or (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities).  The rubber or plastic ones have such an awful odor that it could put you in a tail spin with MCS.

Start www.PhazeMoldDiet.com to clean up your liver and colon with a mold diet for 12 months 

Here are also some very important vitamins and nutrients that specifically help the liver detox biotoxins: (These are all approved for the mold detox diet above.

  • Milk Thistle: One of the best herbs you can get for detoxing that liver and opening up those pathways from the liver is to take "Milk Thistle".  As I have mentioned before I prefer the NOW brands in my recovery so I use the Silymarin which is actually 2 times the Milk Thistle and has added artichoke and dandelion root which are also great liver detoxifiers.

After a month of "opening detox pathways" you might be able to start a good liver cleanse.  Just advise your doctor first before you begin any kind of a cleansing kit.  Have your doc check liver enzymes and liver function before beginning anything like this   http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/liver-cleanse-kit.html

Kidneys

 

Drink Stinging nettle TEA (Urtica dioica) Stinging nettle is a perennial plant that has long been used in traditional herbal medicine.  Stinging nettle leaf contain compounds that can help to reduce inflammation. It’s also high in antioxidants, which help to protect the body and organs from oxidative stress from mycotoxin exposure.

 Drink Hydrangea TEA  (Hydrangea paniculate)

Hydrangea is a gorgeous flowering shrub, well-known for its lavender, pink, blue, and white flowers.  A recent animal study found that extracts of Hydrangea paniculate given for three days offered a protective effect against kidney damage. This is likely due to the antioxidant capabilities of the plant.

Half your body weight per day in filtered or kangen water: If you weight 200lbs then drink 100oz.

 

Warm Water in the morning with fresh squeezed Organic Lemon juice

 

  • Dandelion tea
  • Marshmallow root
  • Nettle tea
  • Parsley
  • Red clover
  • Ginger
  • Turmeric
  • Watermelon
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Spirulina
  • Blueberries
  • Asparagus
  • Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon in 4 oz of water in the evenings helps clean out kidneys.

Lymphatic System/Lymphnodes


 

Daily reboundingThis is the rebounding trampoline that I bought and still use every single day.  You can buy it HERE and have it delivered to your house.  Also here is a great video on YouTube on the subject of rebounding as it applies to opening up the lymphatic system and helps you detox better.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khCtpHj5hjw

 

Dry Brushing - This is the dry brush that I purchased and use every single day "Before" I take a shower.  You can buy it HERE and have it delivered to your house like I did. If you are not sure how to dry brush here is an excellent video on how to dry brush your lymphatic system each day before you shower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QpQZyze3Yk
 

Spleen Traditional Chinese medicine pays extra special attention to the Spleen and rightly so.  The spleen is actually part of the lymphatic system and it's key function is to renew our cells and eliminating toxins from the body. In a normally healthy body the spleen will actually repair itself, however, when toxic molds enter the body and put off dangerous mycotoxin the spleen can become "enlarged" and toxins will be trapped.  This is quite dangerous because our spleens clean out blood, and make red blood cells.  Cleansing out your spleen is an excellent way to support spleen health and functioning and bring your body back to homeostasis (the way it was before a toxic mold exposure) Here are some great ways to open up the detox pathways of the spleen: 

Eat the "PhazeMoldDiet" - (Become a member of the diet plan HERE) This is most effective way to keep the spleens detox pathways open. The Spleen responds well to "warm" foods like: Warm detox soups, carrots, sweet potato, warm teas and approved mold detox fruits.  Cranberry (not store bought cranberry but juiced cranberries are extremely detoxing to the spleen) Lakewood cranberry juice is the closest version to fresh pressed cranberry there is on the market. 

Herbs for the Spleen 
 

  • Echinacea  In Traditional Chinese medicine connects echinacea to the spleen. 
    • You can drink Echinacea Tea Which Can be purchased HERE 
      *always remember to avoid "tea bags" as they contain added toxins that your body will need to detoxify from.  You can  read about toxins in tea bags here in my article. 
    • Or you can buy Echinacea in a capsule form which is moreconvenient which can be
       purcased HERE 
  • Astragalus has also been used in Chinese Medicine to support the spleen.
    • or you can take astragalus in a tincture form HERE  
       
    • You can either make a tea out of the raw chopped rganic Astragalus by purchasing it HERE
  • Wild indigo root is another herb that encourages lymphatic flow and cleanses the lymph of damaging microbes, which will ultimately aids the spleen. These herbs often come in pill form or, if purchased raw, can be made into teas and tinctures. As with any medicine, take care to always follow the recommended dosages—even herbal remedies can be dangerous if taken in excess.

Gallbladder
The gallbladder is especially on the "attack" with mold and mycotoxins...just ask me :(  I've had gallstones now and many attacks even on a low fat diet.  It's the mycotoxins unfortunately wreaking havoc on your system. 

One good way to keep the gallbladder detoxed is to drink a flush of fresh organic juice every other day with:
 

  • Beets
  • Carrots
  • One apple
  • Lemon/Lime
     

Herbs that aid digestion and stimulate bile flow are:
Milk Thistle (aka St Mary's thistle) BUY HERE Dandelion, Globe artichoke, Celandine and Turmeric.

In those first few weeks after escaping our moldy home I began to feel feelings of anger, bitterness, resentment and even hatred.  Don't get me wrong, being human we all have these feelings creep in ever so often.  But this was completely different. 

The weeks following us abandoning everything, all the pictures, all the mold tests and all the attempts to reach out to the landlord to "fix this" seemed to be purposely ignored.  At this point I didn't know how mold could affect my reaction to being purposely hurt and abandoned by others. 

Throughout the years I realized that the mold industry was ugly and in fact, extremely demonic in many ways.  From what feels like calculated assaults of financial destruction, landlords, insurance companies, remediators, colleagues in the mold industry and even friends and family, I couldn't escape these feelings that somehow I was justified in my abuse and hurt.

Today, as I sit here preparing food in my kitchen, I had these thoughts come flooding back through my head due to several people in the past few months that have purposely and also not purposely tried to hurt me or hurt our family in some of the ways I have mentioned above.  As I began slicing and dicing and food prepping, my breathing became shallow, I felt sick all over and just stood there asking myself "Why do I feel like this?".

It wasn't but 15 minutes later that another Christian had reached out to me to ask me some questions about someone that had actually hurt me in the past.  It was as if God knew exactly how to answer my questions about why I was feeling so bad and why I am struggling with these feelings of bitterness over and over since our mold tragedy in 2010.

See, God uses others to bring us back to Him.  Halfway through my conversation with this friend I realized this wasn't about "that person that hurt me", it wasn't even about "this Christian friend who felt the reason to reach out to me today", but it was in fact God.  He just works this way.  Immediately there was a lightbulb in my head shining brighter than ever saying: "Jennifer, put away all bitterness and wrath and anger".  And that was it....yes..that was IT!  Got knew I'd do the rest and go back to my Bible and find the rest of what I needed to search out to know what my reaction NEEDS TO BE MOVING FORWARD to people who maliciously say terrible things about me, my family, my business, my decisions or physically harm me financially, legally or otherwise. 

Ephesians 4:31 -

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

First, I realized that Bitterness brings a curse to our bodies.  When we don't properly respond to others who hurt us we don't hurt THEM, we hurt OURSELVES.   It's like a mental or emotional state of mind that eats away at our bodies.  It literally acts like a poison to our bones.

I also realized that bitterness isn't a natural long term process...it's literally a WILLFUL ACTION done by ourselves to hold on to angry feelings, always being ready to take offense to everything or making ourselves vulnerable to the lack of respect of others.  If we don't let go of the WILLFUL ACTION part, we become a person easily able to break out in anger, malice, judgement or worse: do something in revenge.

I really felt God speaking to me through this fellow Christian who told me in response to me asking how I should handle a certain hurtful situation.  His reponse was the inspiration for this post today.  He said:

"I would simply make basic generalizations that don't point fingers at any one person but lend education on how to ......{do things differently}"

not the exact last words but they were omitted for subject privacy.

This really convicted me to be better, to do better and to act better in the future when people are pointing right at me.   How have you been wronged during this process and what positive measures have you put in place to react better and do better?  leave your comments below

How can Functional Lab testing help with mold diagnosis and treatment?

What is Functional Medicine?

According to the Institute of Functional Medicine, Functional Medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual's illness. Diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause.

What function does Funtional Medicine play for a person who is exposed to toxic mold?

It means that Functional Medicine is going to offer you a more detailed look at confirming or denying that fungus may or may not be an issue...but it more importantly will bring out the possible downstream effects that mold or other pathogens are having on the body as a result of a mold exposure OR infection or exposure to something else. 

Functional Medicine is "NOT" mold specific:  This means that in Functional Medicine there is not a specific lab that can 100% identify or diagnose toxic mold exposure...however, you have to keep in mind that (where we are in history right now - 2021), we still do not have a reliable lab testing process that could offer a "black or white" answer to "Have I been exposed to toxic mold, and is it causing all of my symptoms".  I know how vague this sounds, however...hiring a knowledgeable team of professionals CAN help them gather all of the baseline data they need to make a proper diagnosis such as:

  • Conventional Medical Labs
  • Functional Medicine Labs
  • Patient history of possible environmental exposures
  • Patient history of health issues
  • Past labs
  • Environmental lab tests

Keep in mind that only by collecting ALL of the data above can a professional make an informed diagnosis.  Also, don't be surprised that you may have several diagnosis based on the findings above.  When you combine traditional and conventional methods you will reveal the most data possible to help your overall health and possibility of healing.

What are some of the most common Functional Lab Tests that can be beneficial for those who are exposed to mold and why?

Gi Map - One of the first Functional Tests I ever ran was a Gi-map test.  In Functional Medicine most of the findings revolve around the condition of the gut. 

When you are exposed to toxic mold, one of the first processes in the body to become affected is the gut.  Mold spores are inhaled through the mouth and nose and mycotoxin enters the digestive system via the mouth and esophagus.  Once these dangerous spores and toxins enter the biome, other pathogens begin to "retreat" OR "fight back and overgrow".  When the Gi-map test is done it can reveal some of this imbalance which can be called "Dysbiosis".

What is the Gi-map test?

Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is an innovative clinical tool that measures gastrointestinal microbiota DNA from a single stool sample with state of the art, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi and more!

You can read more about the Gi-Map test here:
https://www.diagnosticsolutionslab.com/tests/gi-map

How do I order the Gi-Map test?

You'll need a qualified Functional MD, Chiropractor or Naturopath Physician to order a Gi-Map test.  You can also work with Health Coaches and FDN practitioners who are contracted with qualified doctors that CAN run the test for them.  Just make sure that whoever is running the tests can ALSO INTERPRET & TREAT!  (This is so important).  Wasting throusands of dollars on Functional Testing is useless unless you have someone that can interpret or treat it. 

If you are a "health geek" yourself, like me...you can try to find other practitioners who are offering opportunities to learn how to interpret the tests yourself.  Just make sure that you ask someone more knowledegable than yourself first before you try to treat.

What can cause a UTI? (Urinary Tract Infection/Bladder Infection)

A urinary tract infection is usually caused by the presence of E. coli (approximately 80% of all of these infections) The other 20% of bacteria can be from klebsiella, enterobacter, staphylococcus, and other bacteria. These bacteria have protective properties that allow the bacterium to /stick/adhere to the lining of the bladder and the mucosal wall of the entire urinary tract.  Their presence causes inflammation, cloudy urine with an unpleasant odor, and bladder and pelvic pain.

Without going into extreme detail, there are several factors that can increase the likelihood of developing a UTI in people who are exposed to toxic mold.

  • Being female - Women are more prone to UTI’s than men because of the close proximity of the urethra’s to the anus. The bacteria have a shorter distance to travel in order to colonize in the lining of the urethra and the bladder.  Estrogen and progesterone shifts during menopause alter the pH of the urine and cause changes in tissue structure. Women over 65 have the highest rates of UTI’s.
  • Using too many anti-bacterial chemicals in your environment like: anti-bacterial body washes, hand soaps, kitchen dish soaps and toxic anti-bacterial cleaners.  This can kill off beneficial bacteria from your hands-to-mouth or on your skin that directly affect your gut health and urinary tract health.  I highly recommend ditching the "anti-bacterial" labeled products from your home and using "Purebiotics" which you can find on my website.
  • Being exposed to toxic mold and mycotoxin in your environment directly affects the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, kidneys and urinary tracts.  Toxic mold directly affects the endocrine system of the body and changes the production of stress hormones in the body.  These stress hormones change the tone of the kidneys and cause the kidneys to empty slower which in-turn keep bad bacteria in the kidneys longer usual.  Being exposed to mold directly cause estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency in both men and women which will alter the pH of the urine and cause "ideal bacterial-growth conditions" inside the bladder.  It's important NOT to simply treat UTI's with temporary band aids but to address the "causes" of UTI from an exposure perspective.  Visit my "step-by-step guide" on the website to help you navigate HOW to remove yourself from toxic mold exposures first...then go after the UTI infections.  (but don't wait!!)

ASTRINGENT LIST

Uva Ursi Leaf - (tea or tincture)

Uva Ursi contains several chemicals.  The main chemicals are hydroquinone and hydroquinones that make it useful for urinary problems. Uva Ursi is used to treat infections such as cystitis, urethritis and nephritis as well. The hydroquinone derivative, arbutin, is the chief active compound in uva ursi. This compound is absorbed in the stomach and then is converted into a substance that contains antimicrobial, astringent, and disinfectant properties. During the urination process, as it leaves the body it works on the mucus membranes of the urinary tract and soothes irritation, reduces inflammation, and fights infection. Reasearch has found that arbutin taken alone is not as effective as the whole Uva Ursi plant in controlling urinary tract infections. The reason for this is because intestinal bacteria breaks down arbutin, but they are not always able to do so in the presence of other Uva Ursi compounds.

Uva Ursi contains diuretic chemicals, including ursolic acid, powerful astringents, and a chemical that helps promote the growth of healthy new cells called allatoin. In addition to its antiseptic and *astringent actions, uva ursi may also help to flush out bacteria by promoting urination. (*An astringent shrinks and tightens the top layers of mucous membranes, thereby reducing secretions, relieving irritation, and improving tissue firmness.) Uva Ursi is also used to reduce the accumulation of uric acid and relieve pain of bladder stones. The diuretic action may relieve the bloating feeling associated with menstruation as well.

Uva Ursi has been approved for treating inflammation of the lower urinary tract by Commission E of the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, which is the German governmental agency that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of herbal products

If there's one thing I learned, it's that biofilms have a huge part to play in the role of eradicating "ANY" pathogen.  With that being said, I didn't learn this concept until years after my initial mold exposure.  Unfortunately it was a hard lesson learned because I spent many years suffering from fungal infections, viral infections and bacterial infections.

BREAK UP THE BIOFILMS!!!

After you have faithfully opened up detox pathways every day for a month your body should be ready to go after the biofilms created by fungi, bacteria and parasites. 

WHAT ARE BIOFILMS? 

A biofilm is produced by certain microorganisms.  They are extracellular polymers that act like a glue and create a physical barrier around colonizing bacteria, fungi and parasites.  Biofilm-producing microorganisms are involved in 80% of all GI infections in humans.

Once a pathogen (Bacteria/Mold/Parasite) colonizes and begins to form biofilm, it becomes harder to detect and remove; especially the longer it is present. Biofilms shield the pathogens from your immune system, and they accelerate the growth and dispersion of the pathogen throughout the GI tract while providing an environment for new pathogens to attach and grow.

You can see now why it is VERY VERY important to attack these Biofilms, daily  "RIGHT BEFORE" (I take my biofilm busters 30 minutes before either my "antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antiviral", whichever pathogen I am targeting), you take an anti-microbial to go after Fungi/Mycotoxin, Bacteria or Parasites.  If these barriers are still there and still protecting these pathogens ALL of your efforts to kill, neutralize and disable them will be useless.  I'd like to say that I can save you and thousands of others the hardship I went through of years and years of taking "this antifungal / that microbial/ this parasite cleanse" only to find out that I NEVER addressed the biofilms that were protecting these pathogens and helping them thrive.  

So now that you know you need to "BUST THE BIOFILMS" first, you want to know "How to do it right"...good news!! After more learning and research, I finally found tons of ways to do it.  My best recommendations based on scientific data for BIOFILM DESTROYERS are below:

In Chemistry, Quaternary ammonium compounds are cationic detergents and antiseptics (viral/bacterial) added to various solutions. Ammonia itself is a gas and is the active chemical gas that denatures mycotoxin (Which is found in both the quat and hydroxide forms of ammonium)



What is Household Ammonia?

When ammonia is mixed with H20 or water it is called Ammonium Hydroxide (household liquid ammonia).
When Quats (detergents) are added to Ammonium Hydroxide you get Quaternary Ammonium. Quats "by themselves" do not denature mycotoxin. Their purpose are to “lift” organic matter from surfaces or are added as bacterial or virus killers. An example would be how dish soap contains quat. Without the quat in the dishsoap it would not lift the food (organic substance) from the food and you’d have to use the power of water alone to wash your dishes. (which doesn’t work too well).

Quaternary ammonium has a different (pH) than Ammonium Hydroxide which means it is “NOT” as strong as Ammonium Hydroxide (common household ammonia). Ammonium Hydroxide is stronger than Quaternary Ammonium as it applies to “mycotoxin degradation” only.

Both Quaternary Ammonium & Ammonium Hydroxide (common household liquid ammonia) kill mold spores AND denature mycotoxin only because they contain “Ammonia”. But Quaternary is weaker because it is an additional added ingredient which lessens the overall total amount of the ammonia in Ammonium Hydroxide. Less ammonia = weaker ability to neutralize.

Quaternary Ammonium is most often used in situations where floods and cleanups require a detergent to lift dirt, scum and/or indoor water damage bacteria or viruses are more dominant than an overall mold issue because ammonia by itself is a weak antibacterial. But for toxic mold situations it is not required to have an antibacterial only something to kill mold and neutralize and break up the molecular structure of mycotoxin.

Ammonium Hydroxide (Household Ammonia of 3% concentrations or less) is much safer and does not cause long term health effects but Quaternary Ammonium causes more severe lung damage and also attacks the reproductive system and endocrine systems. (NOT GOOD). Ammonia Gas is natural…whereas Quats are synthetic man made and dangerous for use

What role does Zeolite play in removing toxic mold
from the body and do we really need it?

Our indoor and outdoor environments have become so polluted with daily contact to toxic molds in indoor buildings, chemicals in our food, drinking water, air, cleaning products and cosmetics, and heavy metals such as mercury from our dental fillings that our body’s toxic load has become critical in many cases. It’s been discovered that zeolite can very effectively pull out of our bodies the harmful toxicity that has accumulated over the years, including toxic molds that put off mycotoxins, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, bacteria, viruses and even other minor mold allergens (non mycotoxigenic molds).

So many diseases and health conditions are caused by toxicity, (up to 75% of ALL CANCERS may be due to toxins) along with chronic fatigue, inflammatory responses, neurological disorders, the list goes on. Check out this long list of symptoms that just "Mold/Mycotoxins" can cause. Thousands of people around the world have been taking zeolite daily and have had their long term health conditions, chronic mold illnesses, even serious diseases, reversed. It proves that when the toxicity is taken out of the body, the body can heal itself so much better. Zeolite is not just good at binding to toxic mold spores and mycotoxins or heavy metals such as mercury from the body, but, also cadmium, nickel, arsenic and a whole host of toxic substances.

Body detoxification has become popular as many realize the need to detoxify the body from these harmful substances. Many people do detoxification procedures, such as oxygen therapy, mold detox diets, chelation diets, fasts, liver and gall bladder flushes, colonic irrigation, saunas, light and even glutathione therapies and so on. The detoxification process in itself can make you feel very unwell as the toxicity becomes mobilized and moves around your body. Sometimes the body cannot eject the toxins quick enough, and, so very unpleasant “die-off” occurs, with headaches, fevers, fatigue and possible skin rashes often accompanying a body detox. But, can these procedures remove mycotoxins, heavy metals and chemicals that are deep in the tissues and organs? It’s still possible that these detox methods are not as effective as they could be.

When it comes to zeolite, the detox is far different.
These unpleasant detox symptoms are not generally felt, because, the zeolite cage structure holds the toxins and then is passed out in the urine or sweat.

Many health conditions have improved dramatically when zeolite has been introduced to the body.

Here are some of the many benefits of Zeolite

1. Helps support a healthy immune system
2. Helps remove heavy metals, polar and non-polar mold/mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, ochratoxin, fumanism, T-2 toxins (trichothecenes) as well as other airborne toxins and chemicals.
3. Helps balance pH levels in the body
4. 100% natural and non toxic
5. Safe for long term use
6. Simple to take and highly effective
7. Helps reduce discomfort in joints/other parts of the body
8. Helps stabilize energy levels
9. Helps reduce inflammation on skin
10. Affordable! Giving anyone access to taking charge of their health
11. Extremely safe and EASY to take
12. By reducing the toxic load to the liver allows the liver to remove mycotoxins, metals pesticides, herbicides & dioxins, which have been linked to triggering cancer.
13. Reduces viral load
14. Helps to buffer blood sugar
15. Improves nutrient absorption
16. Helps prevent premature aging
17. Acts as a powerful antioxidant
18. Reduces symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, CIRS/Mycotoxicosis/Mold Illness/Toxic Mold Exposure.
19. Can help improve the health of your family & friends
20. The easiest way to Detox your body

Do you think you are really toxic?

Consider……………..

  • Have you ever spent one hour or more a day in a home, school, office or car that had visible mold?
  • Have you lived in a home with a leaky roof or basement?
  • Do you consume beverages or foods like peanuts, cashews, corn, wine, aged cheeses, pork or coffee?  If so, 80% of these food and drink items contain higher than normal levels of aflatoxins and ochratoxins which are dangerous mycotoxins that lead to disease and even cancer or death.
  • If you were "EVER" vaccinated, mercury was commonly used in the vaccine as a carrier.
  • Have you ever taken antibiotics?  Did you know antibiotics are made from toxic molds...and leave toxic residues in the body for a long time?
  • If you have amalgam fillings in your teeth, then you have mercury in your body.
  • Do you use everyday cleaning products from the store like Lysol, clorox, johnson and johnson?  Yep, you got it...toxic chemicals and you are using those chemicals to wipe down every suface of your home breathing it in and ingesting it daily.
  • Do you live near a train station, bus depot or airport?  Fumes from petrole
  • If you smoke, or have smoked, then you may already know that cigarettes do not only contain tobacco, but also heavy metals along with arsenic and other poisonous chemicals.
  • Do you ever eat out of or store your food in plastic containers?  They contain BPA a highly toxic ingredient.
  • If you live or work in a city, every breath you take contains heavy metals.
  • Unless you only ever eat organic food, it is highly likely that the food you eat has been sprayed or grown in poor soil, and is full of pesticides and  pollution.
  • If you use cosmetics/shampoos/conditioners, these too are full of chemicals which, when absorbed by the body, are toxic.
  • If you eat fish (especially tuna) the lead and mercury in them will be absorbed into your body.
  • When you drink water, unless it is carefully filtered and purified, you will be drinking chemicals and heavy metals.

We live in an environment far removed from how our ancestors lived, and our bodies are now subjected to an increasing array of man made chemicals. Our bodies simply weren’t designed to have to process such toxic substances….in a natural environment, we would never come into contact with such things.
But, now we do, and it’s the accumulative effect on these toxins that can be so devastating. A wealth of research has been, and is being done the world over, demonstrating the detrimental effects of just one of these toxins…mercury. MS, Cancer, Heart Disease, CFS/M.E., Fibromyalgia, ALS, Parkinsons, autoimmune diseases, autism, dementia, the list goes on, have all shown strong links to mold, chemical and mercury toxicity.

Zeolite (clinoptilolite) incorporated into the diet may be effective in fighting mycotoxins by direct absorption. Affinity toward aflatoxins, zearalenone, ochratoxin, and the T2 toxin was proven in vitro in the presence of aminoacids and vitamins, where the latter were not absorbed by the clinoptilolite material (). The specificity for aflatoxin M1 was also shown in vivo, and the dietary administration of clinoptilolite, especially of the material with the smallest particle size at the rate of 200 g per cow per a day, effectively reduced milk aflatoxin M1 concentration in dairy cattle ().

Here is the ZEOlite I used in my recovery. 
You can start your body's detox right now!


Questions people ask about Zeolite:

Is Zeolite safe for humans?

Zeolite has been found to be remarkably non-toxic, even at very high doses, and safe for children, nursing mothers, and pets.
 

Is There Lead and Aluminum in Zeolite?

Zeolite is a volcanic mineral, and is made up of an array of elements because it essentially comes from the core of the Earth. All of these elements are bound within the structure of zeolite. When taken as a supplement, the extremely strong structure of zeolite cannot be broken down by the body. The only circumstances that can breakdown the zeolite structure are intense volcanic heat and pure hydrochloric acid; neither of these harsh conditions exists within the human body.

The structure of zeolite is aluminosilicate. Hearing this often scares people because they automatically assume there is aluminum in it that could cause harm by taking it. There are also endless rumors on the Internet claiming zeolite supplements are dangerous and contain lead which can poison the body.  THESE ARE MARKETING TACTICS USED BY COMPETITORS TO SCARE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS INTO BUYING THEIR ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS.  There is absolutely NO TRUTH to these claims. As stated above, any elements that might be in zeolite are bound within the structure and zeolite is never broken down within the body. Zeolite does the opposite of these rumors, and actually absorbs dangerous lead and aluminum, among numerous other heavy metals, that may be clogging up cells and disrupting normal functions.

What is better: zeolite powder or liquid zeolite?

Good question, the answer in detail is found in Zeolite liquid or Zeolite Powder?

Can I still take my usual supplements while taking Zeolite?

Yes, zeolites don’t absorb nutrients, only toxins with a positive charge. But make sure to take zeolite 2 hours "BEFORE" medications in the morning is best.

Are there any side effects in taking Zeolite?

Probably not, there are no known interactions between drugs and zeolite. If you have any concerns always consult a health professional.  Just keep in mind that taking zeolite within 2 hours of taking any medication can reduce it's effectiveness.  

How long will it take to feel the benefits of taking Zeolite?

Everyone is different, some people feel a difference within a few days, but, for others, it may take several weeks or months.

My doctor has never heard of Zeolite.

Chances are, they haven't. Remember, mainstream medicine relys mainly on patented pharmaceutical drugs. Anything alternative, most doctors will have no knowledge.

 

Scientific Resources: 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6277462/ 

In agreement with the scientific evidence presented in the literature so far, it can be generally stated that clinoptilolite-based materials, including the so-called activated materials, may be regarded as safe for in vivo consumption. A variety of highly positive effects on animal and human health were documented thus far for clinoptilolite-based materials. Due to clinoptilolite’s remarkable ion-exchange and adsorption properties and consequent detoxifying effects, it has proven useful in the elimination of a variety of contaminants from the body or in amelioration of the intestinal status. An indirect systemic detoxification effect attributed to clinoptilolite-based material supplementation in the diet of both animals and humans was documented in other organs as well, e.g., liver. However, the observed positive systemic mechanisms are still not completely understood. We hypothesize that they may be at least partially attributed to the restoration of the human homeostasis due to local detoxification properties within the intestine, the release of dissolved silica forms from the clinoptilolite tuff that enter from the intestine into the blood, as well as to clinoptilolite’s immunomodulatory effects. The observed local immunomodulatory effects of clinoptilolite involve the induction of immune responses through Peyer’s patches and/or possible positive effects on microbial intestinal populations through still unknown mechanisms. These local effects may have a systemic ‘echo’ on the whole immune status as well, as observed in some studies.

Finally, clinoptilolite’s antioxidant effects and restoration of antioxidant defense mechanisms may also be linked to the positive general systemic impact. However, conclusive statements on the exact applications and benefits of clinoptilolite-based materials in humans should be carefully investigated and analyzed for each specific clinoptilolite material as the mechanisms of action may have correlations with the specific material’s physical and chemical properties. Currently, different clinoptilolite-containing materials are used in medical applications worldwide. These materials contain different percentages of clinoptilolite and different compositions. Also, clinoptilolite-containing natural tuffs come with small quantities of other trace elements, and clinoptilolite is always pre-loaded with various cations. Some of the alkaline ions contained in the crystal lattice, mainly Na+, Ca2+, Mg2, and K+, may be readily released during the ion-exchange process. While these parameters may not be that relevant for agricultural or industrial applications, veterinary and human applications would require a higher level of control via a quality control system in the production, both of the raw material and the final products. For example, a proper mining process with adequate cleaning, sieving, de-hydrating, and pre-milling processes, along with elemental and microbiological examination of the clinoptilolite materials, might be considered among essential requirements for ensuring purity and quality (in relation to the high clinoptilolite content in the tuff) of the final materials for in vivo consumption.
