Mold & Biotoxins

Over the past 50 years our environment has become increasingly toxic from literally tons of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in food, in the air, water and soil. And from heavy metals and tens of thousands of chemicals also in our air and water and soil. From building materials and food additives to hormones given to livestock to make them fatter plus antibiotics to fight potential infections. And on top of all of that is the assault from mold toxicity.

Medical mold treatment pioneer, Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, author of Surviving Mold, created comprehensive mold detox protocols. We employ Dr. Shoemaker’s comprehensive Integrative Medical Protocols along with those created by Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, another medical mold pioneer who adds the use of peptides in treatment.

• Refrigerators must be kept at a minimum 39 °F or below to prevent mold growth.
• 70% or 45 million buildings in the USA are believed to have mold in them.
• The Mayo Clinic reported in 1999 that 93% of sinus infections are from mold.
• Of 100,000 mold species, a handful are dangerous.

Toxic Mold Symptoms

Toxic mold secretes mycotoxins which can trigger an excessive immune system response. This causes a wide array of symptoms from skin and mental issues to neurological problems and a compromised immune system. This leads to high levels of unhealthy chronic inflammation.

Diagnosing Mold Toxicity

If you suspect you have been exposed to mold and/or are experiencing any of the symptoms noted above, it is strongly advisable to find a medical specialist well versed in mold and biotoxin treatments. You can expect a thorough intake of your history and symptoms as well as a basic initial test. If it is believed that you may in fact have mold or biotoxin toxicity you can also expect to have a number of lab tests completed. Tests may be performed on your blood, urine and or saliva.

Mold Toxicity Treatment

Treatment for mold and biotoxins focuses on three major areas.

1. Eliminate the source of your exposure to mold/biotoxins. This involves either completely remediating the building you live or work in or getting away from the source entirely. Remaining in a toxic environment will ultimately prevent your treatment from being fully effective. Likewise, moving to a new home and bringing your mold infested belongings (books, clothes, papers, etc.) with you will simply contaminate your new space.
2. Detox your body from mold and biotoxins. Mold and biotoxins can become stubbornly embedded in a human being. To remove them requires persistent compliance to your treatment protocols. Oral supplementation and specific IVs are designed to bind, neutralize and remove toxins from your body. You may also be advised on a diet that avoids sugars, carbs, mushrooms and foods that mold and biotoxins prefer.
3. Rebuild your immune system. We are firm believers that a powerful immune system is a key to preventing a whole host of medical problems in the first place as well as enhancing recovery from treatments. Our philosophy is to consistently rebuild, rebalance and challenges your immune system to reclaim its strength and power to protect you.
