13:17 Mold Sensitivity Genes: LabCorp and Quest are Dr. Carnahan’s favored labs for HLA-DR Typing. The results need to be interpreted. Dr. Carnahan is able to do this with a Rosetta stone from Subject expert, Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker. There are two “dreaded” genotypes for mold sensitivity, 11-3-53 and 4-3-52. It's is estimated that 1% of the population has one of these two genes. Celiac HLAs are related to mold HLAs. It is the misprocessing of antigens.
14:49 HLAs, Pac Man of the Immune System: Dr. Carnahan orders Celiac HLA and HLA-DR typing for Celiac, and HLA-DR for mold, Lyme and other biotoxins. Celiac HLA typing, checks DQ2 and DQ8. People with two SNPs for DQ2, two SNPs of DQ8 or one DQ2 and one DQ8, have a high probability of problems with gluten processing. They may never get Celiac disease, but gluten can create inflammation and trigger autoimmunity. Autoimmunity and mold go hand-in-hand because of the inflammatory cascade.
19:50 The Possible Benefit of This Over-Reactive Immune System: Sometimes Dr. Carnahan has patients who say that they have not had a cold or flu for years. They may have some sort of virus, but their immune system is so dysfunctional that they are not symptomatic. Sometimes it is not the threat causing our illness, but our immune system’s response to the threat. People, who don’t have this cytokine reaction, are more prone to have these HLA types. Their immune system is so dysfunctional that it isn’t rallying a proper response.
21:31 Symptoms of Mold Exposure: Symptoms include fatigue, brain fog where you cannot concentrate, focus or complete a task easily, and memory issues in the form of finding words. NeuroQuant, SPECT MRI, or a functional MRI, all show changes in the brain from the mold. Instead of seasonal allergy responses, people with mold sensitivity have super-reactive mast cells and are in a constant histamine response with allergy symptoms. Your skin is a detox organ, so you might have new onset acne, sores, lesions, and/or scalp issues. Joint pain is common because it is an inflammatory response. Tingling, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, and blurry vision is also common.
24:12 Symptom - Prone to Static Shock: Mold affects the pituitary access to the extreme. One of the hormones in the posterior pituitary is antidiuretic hormone, which controls our saltwater balance, so another symptom is constant thirst that is unquenchable, dry skin, dry eyes,. The antidiuretic hormone is affected when MSH, another hormone that regulates the hypothalamic access. In mold illness, this almost always drops. That regulates cortisol, adrenals, thyroid, and antidiuretic hormone. Because antidiuretic hormone is low, you are drinking lots of water and have more salt on the surface of your skin. This makes you prone to static charge.
28:47 School Buildings Commonly Have Mold: Courthouses, schools and older buildings often have mold.
30:46 Biomarkers of Mold: The CRP or ESR inflammatory markers will be normal for those of us with mold reaction. CMP, basic metabolic kidney/liver, will be normal. CBC, most of the time will be normal. Routine labs will be normal. Because labs come back normal, many are deemed to have a psychiatric illness, especially when they experience another symptom of mold exposure, rage, anger and sudden deep dark depression when exposed to mold. Dr. Carnahan does HLA typing along with testing of leptin and adiponectin which will show early signs of insulin dysregulation. Mold reaction brings on insulin resistance. Dysregulation of cortisol blocks insulin from entering your cells. Your pancreas can be affected from the toxins, causing elevated lipase or amylase. You can have poor production of pancreatic enzymes and poor production of insulin. You can even become diabetic even when they have no family history.
32:51 Symptom - Sudden Weight Gain: People can put on 50 pounds from mold exposure even with decreased caloric intake and increased exercise. Because of the insulin resistance from the imbalance of leptin and adiponectin, these people cannot burn fat. They are metabolically so dysfunctional that typical dietary interventions do not work.
33:28 Mold and Blood Profusion: Mold exposure sensitivity decreases blood flow to your tissues. VEGF shows capillary tissue profusion. Early in the illness, this increases, causing new blood vessel growth. Dr. Carnahan, a runner, would have decreased profusion in her legs, causing lactic acid to build and sometimes her lower legs would go numb.
It is amazing how the damn mold at home was totally my problem! Having joint pain.. Brain fog.. panic attacks.. elevated eye pressure.. Food intolerances.. bad diggestion.. "Am I getting old?.." NOO! I got rid of the damn mold and I got well!
You were able to clean your house? Did you have to move? How did you clean your possessions?
really... my doctor told me I had high eye pressure in one eye. I went through all of the glaucoma testings and don't have it but they gave me eyedrops anyway because it was giving me headaches. that's sad and crazy to think how long mold has been there
So how do you treat it?
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
Did you do remediation. ?
I have terrible pain , muscle and joint and especially in my tummy !
Rashes / mood swings / anxiety
This is outstanding
So pleased you feel well ! Stay well
Thank you all for your comments and for listening to the podcast!
Thank you so much for this video. Perhaps my family will see how bad the issue is in their home. My father had almost every symptom of toxi mold exposure and I think I am also quite sensitive to it but the rest of the family isn't.
hi could i email u by chance u are amazong really u just asnswered alot of my issues ty .
Fantastic interview Dr. Carnahan! I have my own business to do housecleaning in homes and trust me I have the experience to know and can 'sense' the smell and presence of mould rapidly. People have a hard time listening to me when I see the first signs of mould in their homes. There were many floods this spring in my area and I was appalled when I heard health authorities tell people to use only a 5% javex solution to treat wood and other surfaces (once they had removed the humid materials which could pose a risk to mould development out) when I know that it actually takes PURE javex to spray onto wood partitions and cement and leave it dry before proceeding to rebuilding a home's damaged areas after a flood (aside the fact that fecal matter is usually part of the picture during a major flooding event). Cleaning clothes with Borax is also a very good solution to save clothes which has been exposed to mould. Information like this will be extremely important to people recovering from the recent hurricanes in cleaning up operations of their homes and work places. Clean up carefully, let surfaces dry completely, treat cement and wood with PURE javex which is a very effective way to deactivate and kill mould and leave dry again before proceeding - leave several weeks to ensure there is no active mould starting to ensure you got it all. If active mould begins, repeat the javex treatment and/or get experts to come in to do a more drastic treatment. Take NO chance!
Jill Carnahan, MD There's no way you weren't on Sally Raphael's talk show some years ago. Please tell me if this is true or not. Unless you have a clone.
You have a 3 year waiting list for new patients. Do you also work indirectly with patients by consulting with practitioners who are able to work directly with patients? Do you have a list of people in the Boulder area whom you recommend for people who cannot wait 3 years to see you? If you do not want to put such a list on a public place like this, can such a list be obtained by contacting your office?
I've been horribly sick for over 2 years... neuro issues, heart, and endocrine complications..leading me to an almost bedridden life.
I was suspicious of mold being that culprit after being exposed for nearly 3 years now and just received all my tests back that were discussed on this video that strongly confirmed toxic mold poisoning. I also have both genetic codes that were spoken about in the video as well as Lyme and EBV.
I have just begun the shoemaker protocol and am incorporating natural binders and supplementation in the hopes of getting my life back! Such a valuable video! THANK you for sharing!
Bloom-How are you doing on the protocol?
Empower1life so messed up. You sound just like me. Are you any better?
Wow this is really good info...I am extremely sick for years and I say its hidden mold in my house and my husband doesn't believe me and I fired my Dr's. They insist that I am crazy and that I have bipolar and I know that it is this mold issue...I will have to move out and prove it...
thanks for all of this helpful video and helpful comments..
@@myfavorites3280 Hey did you ever figure out what was wrong?
To anyone watching this video, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the podcast "Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey"... The specific episode is "It's Not Lyme, it's Mold - Dr. Andrew Heyman" (Episode 557)... It's INCREDIBLY informative, and talks about how people with mold toxicity are being misdiagnosed as having Lyme disease. It's also talks about the latest Genomics and MRI tests. It's incredible. I was misdiagnosed with Lyme for over a decade. Finally went to see Dr. Andrew Heyman this July (2019) and he confirmed that my problems have been mold-related all along (Not Lyme). Makes sense since I grew up in a VERY water-damaged building. Mold-related CIRS often triggers false positives on lyme tests, even though that's not the true underlying problem...
Nick Foxer thanks for taking the time to share. I am listening to the podcast now. Also a good reference for people is to search for "Erik Johnson mold avoidance" he talks about extreme mold avoidance can be a huge factor in healing. He also mentions where and when the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was first coined. I have been researching mold toxicity for years and just recently found this guy. Theres also a facebook page called extreme mold avoidance which is great.
@@karlauto7023, Thanks for your additional information!
Thanks!
@@karlauto7023 please do not recommend “extreme mold avoidance” to people...
@@iAlwaysSpeakTheTruth why?
So very helpful. This was the best explanation I've heard for how issues with the different markers manifest in the body. The show notes are a bonus…was struggling to write quickly enough. And it's nice to have a host who is such a skillful facilitator. Thank you so much!
Totally awesome video guys. Ive listened to Dr. shoemaker speak many times and never quite heard it clarified like this. Thank you so much!
I agree, +Roger Huffman. I heard him speak in 2011; was great info but the way Dr. Jill discussed it really made it more tangible for me.
Wow Mike!! This was so good! I just did an organic acids test and it came back super high for mold. Like off the charts. I definitely needed this guidance! I can’t thank you enough. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
OMG, this is life changing, literally!! My jaw is on the floor. Thank God I found this video...I will be doing everything I can to get the necessary tests mentioned here!! Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow! Dr. Carnahan was a wealth of articulate and fast flowing information. All that information was brought together by your great questions. Thank you!
Great interview with some fantastic explanations of physiology with Dr Jill! Def take notes on this one!
My whole family are very sick the smell of mold is in my flat.we been in the flat many years and been sick the last 5 yrs my husband in hospital now I pray it's not too late to get him well.
Best of luck to you. Please ask The Lord to help you and He will.
OH MY GRAVY!! I am SO glad I discovered this video!! I have absolutely no doubt that I’m allergic to the mold here in the San Antonio, Texas area!!!! I have never in my life been as sick as I’ve been since we’ve moved here 13 years ago. And it is mostly due to the mold count which goes up with rain. I’m definitely going to subscribe to your site so that I may get access to and hopefully benefit from your expertise in this area. I need ALL the help I can get!!! Thanks!
13:30 Gene testing
17:00 more tests and celiac connection.
Just taking notes. Thank you for the video!
Being the Canary you're the indicator light for those that will be affected if the problem isn't addressed and handled
Excellent information! Thanks for this!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. This was very helpful.
Great interview with tons of information. Dr. Carnahan does an excellent job of simplifying complicated information.
Thanks for your feedback, +Westin Childs. I thought she did a great job, too.
+High Intensity Health may I request that you ask Dr. Jill if she has doctor connections in Europe? i really need to visit a mold specialist with here level of knowledge.
Libraa Dmt Twin I feel the same way. Can't find a doctor who will listen to me.
@@Highintensityhealth I'm balding now what do I do?
Thank you so much for these videos.
Thank you so so much for this video. I think you just might have saved my life. Dr Carnahan described her experience to the T sounds like mine. Thank you so much for all that information. God bless you both.
Wow Dr Jill, thank you soooo much, so much of what you said makes sense now in my life!!!
great great video! so glad I found this on someone's fb page! I have suspected mold for a while now. I've had chronic lyme for a long long time. went years undiagnosed. it was hard but I still managed to work and raise my daughter. as soon as I moved into this apartment I got worse. had to quit a great job and now it's a struggle to just make it through the day. since I've lived here there has been 3 water leaks and I'm pretty much disabled physically and mentally struggling also. after watching this video I know I have to make the mold testing a number one priority. thank you to you and Dr Jill for sharing such vitally important information. bless you both. can't wait to check out your other videos. I'm curious about the affects of mold on a healthy child and also if colonies, after long exposure, can grow in your body, mostly curious regarding intestines.
Such a great video and both of you are amazing!!!
Most informative mold info ever!
thank you so much for being a "real doctor"!!
Fantastic interview and THANK YOU for putting the summary in the notes there. Awesome.
Thanks for that, Megan! I try to do that for all the podcasts. Thanks for tuning in,
Mike
Yeah, she talked so low and fast< made very little sense to me.
Glad I could read the general gist here.
Love,love,love this.
Excellent Video!
Thank you for this detailed video. Some of the symptoms sound just like the problems some friends have while living at the beach or in the Southern portion of USA.
Awesome beautiful show!!
great informative podcast. I have the HLA-DQ8/2 SNPS FOR BOTH,
This is an absolute revelation.
Thank you!!!
The 4 min doctors” never asked about mold. I didn’t connect it with my weird histamine reactions in the skin or my daughters weird behavior, her anxiety, random anger outbursts, depression and lethargy. I’m so excited for her to know what healthy feels like. It’s been years. Thank you Dr Jill! and HIH!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode Mike, thank you. I'll receive my mycotoxins test results in a next couple of weeks and I think I already know what it will show.
Thank you for presenting this information. Mold is one test that I haven't been tested for yet and it wouldn't surprise me if I've got something. I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease in April 2018 and my life has been very very different since. However, I've chosen the natural route and have started on healing my gut along with immunoglobulin therapy. Hope to get well soon.
Wow! I thought I was crazy! Thanks for this!
I once saw a video on mushroom foraging (sent by a friend) and the person mentioned that you can usually find great big mushrooms growing on electric poles!
Great informative video. I have NASH non alcoholic steato hepatitis from toxins working 17 yrs at a state facility. The facility has had severe water damage since completion in 2004 til present with no remediation. I reported my symptoms in Jan 2015 and was blown off stating bldg to new for mold and my symptoms were age related. I had 30+ symptoms, many named in this video ex blurry vision, dry eyes, s.o.b., static electricity, menorrhea, bizzare dreams, cognetive disfunction and more. I sas 18 different specialist over 2 yrs before stumbling across an environmental specialist. I am doing so much better and have not been back to work in a year. Im detoxing, eating organic foods taking supplement and about to start LDA shots end of month.
THANK YOU so much for this incredible information! Dr. Marty Ross in Seattle suspected I had mold toxin instead of Lyme...sure enough I tested highly positive in Ochratoxin and Mycophenolic acid. I'm doing his treatment protocol & feel awful: (
I REALLY appreciate the info on electrolytes. I'm constantly drinking salted water with added electrolytes & still feel like its barely under control. I thought I was going crazy....now I know why!
Mike, would love to see you do a piece on mold toxicity in military homes!
I lost weight after 6 years of toxic mold exposure. I was dying. Kidney, liver, brain were shutting down. But I recovered, just had C-4 a C3 a testing and I made a full recovery. Mold is no joke!!
Glad to hear you're better! That's so helpful for me and others to hear that
can you explain how you found the mold and what kind of testing I need to ask the doctor for?. Was the mold obvious? hidden?
@@kramer911 I just got 2 testing plates to test the air in my car and my appartment. They're dirt cheap like $30 per plate. I'll let you know how it goes. I can't see any mold but that doesn't mean it's not there
@@kramer911 I know there's a urine test for mold in your body but apparently it's not super accurate because literally everyone excretes some level of mycotoxins in their urine
Look in your HVAC unit. Cupboards, under sinks. The mold in my apartment was so severe it had spread under the carpet, behind the paint. They just painted right over it. It wasn’t visible and I couldn’t smell it. I had professionals come in to test air quality. The first crew didn’t say close all the windows so we can get a more accurate reading so it wasn’t that profound. I took the urine test to confirm I have been exposed and hired another crew to come in and retest. They were more professional, and told me to close everything up at least four hours before the test. It made a profound difference. All the tests that were in the air test matched my urine test. Just google around for companies that do air quality testing in your area that include mycotoxins. Dr. Jill knows what urine test to take. If you do indeed test positive with mold be prepared to lose everything you have in that home or apartment that has a cloth or paper material. You can pay people to have it professionally cleaned but it will cost you potentially thousands.
This is so on point with EMF and mold. I had exposure in a condo as well. I also had exposure to 23 smart meters attached to my bedroom wall. All of the smart meters made our exposure 100 times worse. I had almost every symptom listed for mold exposure. We are 6 months out and just now starting to feel sort of normal. We are still excreting a ton of mycotoxins. It’s going to be a long term process. This has turned our lives upside down. Strong EMF can make anyone’s immune system break down and unable to fight off the mold. My 13 year old is still struggling cognitively, brain fog and moodiness. There is no legal recourse as there was no visible mold, no testing which would acceptable in court.
How about telling people the list of symptoms of mold exposure so they can determine if they are having a problem also.
It’s so helpful to hear conversations like this. I was exposed at work for 6 years before realizing what was causing my issues. I tried to combat the deterioration with diets, exercise, physicians making improper diagnoses etc. when I finally determined what it was I raised the issue with my employer and was fired. Now paying for care out of pocket, have atrophy in the brain of the caudate nucleus, Pallidum, and pituitary. sold my condo, threw away almost everything I own and trying to figure out where I need to relocate to. Arizona seems likely. So depressing but finding others makes it seem manageable.
kara turner I’ve been trying. I can’t find a lawyer to take it despite OVERWHELMING evidence, physical, clinical, etc, including a physicians letter from a nationally regarded physician stating that my workplace is undeniably source of exposure. My former employer is a national laboratory, and I think the gov’t piggy bank scares most attorneys away. If anyone has a recommendation.. my email is my last name followed by first initial @gmail.com... see username
kara turner i will look up that specific case, thank you!
Very nice
3 Dr's this year and not ONE said a word about mold!! All I heard was chronic sinusitis! Never had a allergy in 58 yrs.. Dr's never tested me for anything! Never had a sinus infection and I worked outside for 35 yrs.. Im still having issues and I am lost on getting any help locally..
This is such valuable information! I hope that you can write a book and get it exposed more by going on television, etc.. Thank you. My only recommendation is that you talk much slower at times so that people can write down the tests, helpful vitamins and medicines, etc.. Thanks for your great work.
Did you know that you can slow down or speed up the videos? Go to the top right line of dots. Click and your choice of speeds comes up.
I use it all the time both ways!
Oh I forget to mention that the first mold exposure was from a different house I lived in.
I now live in an apartment/duplex where there was pipes that busted right before I moved in.
Do you have to have a physician write out the lab to get those tests done at labcorp? You guys made it sound like you could order these tests online without a Dr, which would be AWESOME!!
I have a question. Given glutathione for a week to bring out mycotoxins for a urine mycotoxin test. All of a sudden stinging pains in bladder area. I was told possibly IC due to mast cell activation disorder. How do you fix this issue?. The glutathione also had calcium carbonate in the ingredients which could have caused small crystals not picked up on the ultrasound. But I do feel its mast cell from possibly too much mycotoxins released. Help appreciated!
This is my entire life Dr Jill has mapped out...EVERYYYTHING
What do Poor People do?
Cause this stuff is killing us....
How much does this test cost....?
$299
Ashley Andrews last time o check they told me it cost 3,000 USdollars
Its 299 and my wife did it few months back
@@Data_-xw7yw not at all
This explains a lot to me. Have had so many issues. Unfortunately I don’t feel well enough to organise testing and help, or to earn to pay for help. Basically down and barely type this.
I think i might have this ! High Intensity Health guy, i looked this doctor up online and it says she's no longer taking patients ! 😢
Is there a way i can find a doctor who had her level of expertise in this area (mold) ?
I need to get tested, PLEASE help !
I’m very static , I know that my house that I have lived in for a year has mold, here in the Seattle area it’s hard to avoid. I have all of the symptoms. I’m getting my home tested, planning on moving, thank you.
I'm extremely static also. What does it mean?
Hello! I am positive for HLA-B27 and have AS and I am wondering if that enough for the HLA-DR gene testing. I also tested positive for double gene mutation for MTHFR.
Great Video!! very Informative, we just had Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker (the doctor who patented the CIRS disease protocol) down here in miami florida for a conference and training program to certify doctors in his patented protocol. this was the first of this type of conference and It was incredible and such a fantastic experience.
Wow that must have been an incredible conference! I Just found you on instagram and Facebook I requested you on both please accept me so we can talk!
There is so much mould in Brisbane Australia. I don't notice it but a friend visits regularly and she pretty much has to go onto and auto-immune paleo diet - we've been working with CIRS now with clients for several years - it's such a bugger of a health challenge!!
Yes, more now than ever after the wet weather patterns and flooding.
Are people with the HLA-DR specifically for Post-Lyme (Borrelia) also susceptible for CIRS from mold? Or are the genes fairly exclusive to each condition?
what doctor do I see that is covered by insurance for the tests done to see this exposure? I'm seeing a naturopathic doctor but he doesn't accept my insurance so these tests could be VERY expensive...
Also there is Great Plains MycoTOX Profile (mold exposure) test. But I'm not seeing the markers that are discussed on there so I'm at a lost of what to do buy that mycotox profile from them or the specific ones from this video and also is there any one test for all these or are they all seperate?
Or more importantly how do we convince the insurance companies to get these done ? is that even possible? or is this all going to have to be out of pocket for the gene testing etc?
Had had the messing up watches and electronics issue. Shocked water disconcerting, not regularly but happened.
Experiencing all of these just come from the urgent cate after major allergies throwing up all day yesterday and severe allergies with debilitating migraines
Please talk about mold from decaying / infected root canals. These can harbor Aspergillus. Also, mold and toxins from food. I found that I was drinking high end store bought green ice tea, it had aspergillus in it.
I used to always get static shocks when I would put the key in to unlock my car door.
I do not have the money to up and move, I would be homeless. I understand the need to leave but not everyone has the finances you have. My illnesses have caused financial hardships. I am cleaning and replacing the areas in my home that are damaged. I am getting rid of as many things as I can. That is all I can do. If I die before I am done, then so be it. Thank you for the information.
Can you recommend a doctor in Miami for Mold Toxicity?
I want to know more about what to do and how to combat the thirst issue and what needs to function in your body to be able ti absorb fluids
I just wish this sort of education about the adverse effects of mold exposure would be more well-publicised. The number of customers we see that are really sensitive to mold is quite frightening.
Esp for us affected, others seem to brush it off as not important bc they dont feel any symptoms....
@@DaniiMarie333 yep, I get livid as fuck when I see people saying that mold exposure is not dangerous. It has destroyed so many lives.

How can I get tested to see if I have one of these 2 genotypes that would put me at a higher risk to be effected by mold? How can I find out if I'm a canary?
GREAT INFORMATION! I am nervous now. Yesterday I found mold spores in my basement and on my speakers also in the basement. I feel as though I have most of the signs you mentioned. (Health wise) I am 100 % disabled & It is costly to get testing for mold done on your home. Can you recommend someone Reputable & Reasonable, that would be great!
I am in Texas...did she using Shoemaker protocols? I need dr for mold right now.
I started off with skin rashes, then asthma, now headaches.
I got all them symptoms been going on for almost a year i found mold in my place been repairing to water leak how do i recover from this
Had hormonal issues that showed up at docs. Immune troubles massive. Lots of exposures to Mold, repeated cheap housing, then better housing but also had Mold downstairs. Doesn’t glyphosate mess up glutathione or is that some5hing else?
I need this test really bad!! Not sure how to go about any of this....
I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. I am waiting on the results of the mold test to come back this week. My Pulmonologist said to move out of my townhouse asap. I had a lung biopsy two weeks ago, and the pathology came back as Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. I had pneumonia back in June, and could not work, so I was in my house 24/7 for 6 months. I got so sick with pain everywhere, headaches, and had to walk with a walker because of joint swelling and pain. If the test come back showing toxic mold, is my landlord responsible? I know that the air conditioning pan overflowed at least 4 times, in the past 4 years, and the ceiling was not repaired at all. My lungs are permanently damaged now. Should I get rid of all my belongings? I'm really afraid!
wish i could get some help..
Wish more medical doctors were more aware of mold's impacts on our health.
I’m so sad because of this closure it has caused me fog brain and I could never concentrate on school and I can’t fire to live in CA and move out ASAP
I have huge migraines. Fatigue everything, I used to workout 4 hours a day and barely walk 30 steps a day
I’m impressed here with some facts. I’m currently in the situation of Stachybotrys. It not IN side but the water damage is in the walls. It never got treated correctly I assume... I feel like I’m on the Titanic and slowly sinking... my body sensed it... I believe that I caught it before it got really bad. However I’m moving... what stuff I can bring...??
Any advise is much appreciated❤️
My wife is an avid CZcams watcher of your shows. We had black mold remediated a few years ago in our home. We are in the process of researching different high end hepa filters. Do you have any suggestions on your end of a good high quality hepa filter?

I was so sick that I couldn’t breath, couldn’t walk to the bathroom on my own, or wash my own hair. The symptoms so bad that are too many to list. I was too sick to leave my house, but my house was making me sick.
I was the canary in the coal mine. Deep down I knew, though I went through test after test for these random symptoms for 2 years. Finally I said enough.
I moved out, and tossed everything that my family of 5 owns. It has been really traumatic, but 14 days later and I am 90% better. My home has been gutted to the studs though I am afraid that even after remediation after I go back there that I will get sick again. I am terrified of getting that sick again.
Try DNRS by Annie Hopper and an Ozone Machine linked by a video from The Spanish Guitar Hub, the one about when you can't move. Read the reviews on the Ozone Machine; they are VERY informative. There are a lot of tips as well.
Hope this helps or puts you on the right path to a healthy life again, pre-sick days! Chao!
Dr. Carnahan mentioned that CRP (C-Reactive Protein) levels in these patients that have been exposed to mold are usually normal. I have a massive load of the symptoms associated with mold exposure.. live in a water damaged home.. and have located mold.. but my CRP was slightly elevated at 10.2. Does this mean I should rule out the possibility of it being mold exposure? I have sudden onset of asthma symptoms, nose bleeds, dry red eyes, swollen salivary glands, major fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, chest pains, heart palpitations, eye floaters, blurry vision, flu symptoms that come and go... have been sick for about three years, ever since I moved into my new home. I never had an issue with getting sick before.. I could go on and on. I went to Dr. Carnahan's website thinking I would reach out for advice but I cannot afford the initial consultancy fee. Additionally, I live in CA. Thank you for any help!
How can I get tested immediately! I have been extremely sick for a long time. I feel like I'm slowly dying. Please help me!!
It’s a urine test by Great Plains Laboratory....need a doctor to give you one
Not sure about Canada
Try calling Great Plains Lab and ask if a doctor there can order the MycoTOX Profile (mold exposure) 800-288-0383
You need an integrative or functional medicine doctor probably…

What is the genome type of mold susceptibility and where, who can do it? Please help me.
I live with my girlfriend in her house, I don’t see any mold but my white towels turn black if I forget to wash them in time. Since I moved in my vision has declined noticeably. I have constant sinus infections that are immune to antibiotics. My girlfriend spends all day in bed and has constant migraines and cloudy head and itchy nose in fact we both have skin problems. All this started the day I moved in and have got worse over the years. She thinks I’m crazy with the mold issue but I had an experience with mold in a water bed years ago and since then I always get sick around mold.
Help DrJill Carnahan- I'm in Charlotte, NC and I need the Numbers or names of Mold & Gluten sensitivities tests. I called the Dr and they can not find it on Lab Corp. He is in a moldy apt and need to see if we can get him out Apts across from UNCC. Please he is so sick.
Let's say a hypothetical if u sleep next to mild mold for days even weeks how would you feel and would it be anything long term??
Can anyone recommend a really expert environmental illness or mould specialist in the Uk, Please.?
I got sick when I started a new job, I was only in there for 2 months. It destroyed me.
How can I contact her ?
kinda off topic but can microtoxins grow mold? when I do negative air sometimes I can't port it outside so I have to do into a clean room but I've learned vapors microtoxins vocs can pass through a Hepa filter. so if they pass through would I be effecting the whole possibly? I have just recently learned about charcole filters and nano filters witch I know would take care of the issue but most companies won't pay for them in the restoration industry
Have you looked into the Austin Air filters, +Mykal Scavo?
They make a great product: amzn.to/1oIurvi
Hope that helps,
