Mold / Mycotoxin Treatment

Basic Facts about Mold

Fungi are able to grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. Inner wall materials of buildings, wallpaper, fiberglass insulation, ceiling tiles, and gypsum support are all good surfaces for fungi to colonize. These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment causing symptoms of many different chronic diseases. Diseases and symptoms linked to mycotoxin exposure include fever, pneumonia-like symptoms, heart disease, rheumatic disease, asthma, sinusitis, cancer, memory loss, vision loss, chronic fatigue, skin rashes, depression, ADHD, anxiety, and liver damage.

Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Additionally, mold in the air outside can attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can and be carried indoors. Larger mold infestations can usually be seen or smelled. Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects. Some people are more sensitive to molds, leading to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Others, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions.

There are many mold symptoms, because the illness affects multiple systems in the body, which in turn, causes the patient to exhibit multiple symptoms. The following are symptoms associated with chronic mold disease exposures:

Fatigue, Weakness, Aches, Muscle Cramps, Unusual Pain, Ice Pick Pain, Headache, Light Sensitivity, Red Eyes, Blurred Vision, Tearing, Sinus Problems, Cough, Shortness of Breath, Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea, Joint Pain, Morning Stiffness, Memory Issues, Focus/Concentration Issues, Word Recollection Issues, Decreased Learning of New Knowledge, Confusion, Disorientation, Skin Sensitivity, Mood Swings, Appetite Swings, Sweats, Night Sweats, Temperature Regulation or Dysregulation Problems, Excessive Thirst, Increased Urination, Static Shocks, Numbness, Tingling, Vertigo, Metallic Taste, Tremors

Candida

Candidiasis refers to an overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. At normal levels, Candida is harmless and exists alongside the trillions of other bacteria in the mouth, vagina, rectum, and digestive tracts.
