I have been dealing with issues related to mold exposure for the last 12 months or so. I have talked through my journey with this before on this channel and on my podcast. In this video I'm talking through the recovery process and what that has looked like for me.

3:53 Binder for detox (Dutch Test)
5:42 Replenish nutrients
6:26 Protein sufficiency
❤ Thank you ❤
Sept 2018, I moved out of an extremely mold-rich house, and into an 18 year old, seemingly clean building and started detoxing with bentonite clay, charcoal and a triple-biotic from Gundry, under the guidance of a wellness coach. After a few months, I was feeling like it would actually take us years to completely detox, and I learned we needed to integrate more gracefully back into full health. So we have just been doing our best to eat well, exercise, sleep well, all the best life practices.
Now, almost 6 years later, our building is starting to show its age (molding in the grout and behind electrical plates) I’m feeling the rash/swelling/sinus symptoms of mold exposure (as well as the shared symptoms of…) and I’m experiencing early signs or perimenopause at the same time. I think. Maybe. (brain fog -like dumb sometimes, random depressive thoughts, and hair thinning).
I don’t have any questions, because it’s like turning on a fountain, one question turns into a paragraph of questions. I hope that you’ll share any thoughts this stirred up for you. Thank you. I’m looking into the Dutch test this afternoon. ❤ Thank you.
I’m so tired of going to a million doctors. I’m literally dying in front of everyone and nobody can help
Go to a very hot country , symptoms wil go .
What are your symptoms?
@@jesusmalverde612it’s been a year long struggle. First sigh was my vision went blurry, following with bloating, consipation. I would go on weeks without using the bathroom. Next came feeling so exhausted and my entire body aching. Fast forward to now. All my symptoms is almost gone now, but now I’m dealing with kidney pain. I’m just ready to go right about now. My tongue is so white as well.
I nearly died in November. Forget: the doctors . Do: coffee enemas , take binders, make sure you’re going to the toilet, , eat a lot of fibre and a lot of protein. Gut out gluten and dairy 100% immediately. Take probiotics and supplements like magnesium glycinate, Ubiquinol, NAC and activated b vitamins. This has all helped me in my journey. I still feel like I’m dying but I’m much much better than I was. You need to camp outside away from mould immediately
@@tiatorus tell me more
I’m taking NAC and its helping a-lot! Starting on binders next week. Nervous system is way out of wack! Wim Hof breathing has helped me a lot! Also Vit D3k2 and b12! I used the great plaines mycotoxin urine test and wow off the charts toxicity! Four years with mystery symptoms! Stupid mold.
Wim Hof Method helped my son recover. Ozone therapy is great too
How did NAC help you? Which symtpoms did improve?
How did you go about getting the Great Plains Mycotoxin urine test? Did you ask your doctor to do it or did you access it somewhere else? PS Im in Australia so it may not be relevant but just asking.. TIA
Hey how did you get the urine test?
@@tsreikiI took a urine test through my Chiropractor believe it or not. Some study holistic nutrition.
Everyone, please get air purifiers asap. To help you at least be able to function somewhat while you work on the underlying issues. You can also rent mold foggers and air scrubbers from Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Yes, air purifiers are WONDERFUL!
A mold guy told me purifiers don’t get rid of aspergillosis because it’s too small for any hepa filter .
Also Iv heard people say the air filters throw mold that would be on the floor into the air and make symptoms worse
Rubbish. Nothing will help but getting out.
I’m just now finding this info may be what I’ve been dealing with my whole life!!!
Hope it was helpful!
Thank you! I have a relative that is struggling with mold and attempting detox and this video will be much appreciated since the conventional medical profession is pretty much worthless and totally ignorant and ineffective when it comes to mold and basically everything of this nature.
A functional medicine doctor will most definitely help you.
Thank you for going into this in depth and the importance of negative effects of detoxing and how to avoid this. So important, I also made the mistake of going straight into detoxing when I wasn’t eating properly and already feeling really bad which made me anaemic.
Hi Dr Beth,
Up till this summer I was a basically healthy post menopausal woman with celiac, IBS reactions to foods, MTHFR, multiple chemical sensitives and tremor. They call it “benign essential “ (notice the programming by saying it’s “essential” ) I was doing better off gluten and drank chlorella and charcoal if I was near fumes. This past year I started to have memory glitches for words I knew I knew! I thought age, but no, younger than me complain of the same. I have had severe brain fogs for years but never knew that’s what it was and recently discovered I’m histamine intolerant. So, I went keto carnivore and definitely IBS better. DAO supplements don’t help, but am still reactive to foods. I’m SUPER sensitive so I don’t take risks on taking pharma products. I have been taking supplements up the wazoo for years and never felt any different.
My ah ha moment came a few months ago. I had been sleeping on a comfort select bed for over 20 years and felt so drugged on waking. (It’s basically an air mattress covered with foam.) I didn’t want to get a mattress because I always reacted to the outgassing of it. For years my feet were red when I stood up from bed and no doc seemed to be concerned. Then I learned that mold could be the issue. And lo and behold I learned the comfort select design of the one they sold me had a design flaw that allowed mold!
Histamine, mold, redness
Omg Mold! I ripped the bed apart and I found the tubing. Its filled with mold!
In the past years I became very EMF sensitive and now in addition discovered I’m electrosensitive. I thought it was just a sensitivity to live with. But I recently heard a doc talk about chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and he said a “tip off to mold toxicity is EMF and electro sensitivity and that in histamine reactions that aren’t helped with carnivore and DAO you should suspect mold. 🧐😳Omg that’s me!
Everyone is going on parasite cleanses which is great but I think toxins need to be cleared first AND with the spraying of chemtrails and mercury fillings and, and, and… we ALL have heavy metals and we need to clear them too! So, I’m thinking WHERE TO START FIRST??🤷♀️🤷♀️I’m having a live blood analysis this week and then I’m a bit lost as to where to next.
And my husband now has Parkinson and I just learned mold toxins can destroy dopamine production. He’s got my profile but has PD and irritable bladder and doesn’t have celiac or the EMF and electro sensitivity.
Help, what step first?🤷♀️
Both doing live blood this week.
Heavy metals- chelate?
Mold -detox,?
Mold-test the tubes?
Histamine intolerance -diet supplements?
parasites -cleanse?
And docs don’t agree on the usefulness of mycotoxin testing so can we do detox that’s general for mold or is there a binder for specific mold toxins?
HELP!!! 😳😳
Hi there, I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through and I know you want answers as soon as possible! I would be more than happy to connect with you further regarding this so we can discuss potential next steps. You can schedule a free consultation with this link: calendly.com/dr-beth-westie/free-consult
My doctor (I'm in UK but Doctor is USA based, Zoom calls) put me on Charcoal, NAC and Glutathione as binders for mycotoxins after I got very high readings from a mycotoxins test (Great Plains test from Regenerus Labs, London). The key thing is to get the mold out. I used Pure Maintenance UK (also have worldwide offices, I think, certainly USA) who fogged my entire house for a day which eradicates mold and spores and stops them coming back as long as you don't carry on doing what caused them. I had to install smart fan in bathroom and kitchen which have been great. Dehumidifier at night if needed to keep home humidity below 60%. You also need to avoid mold containing foods. I read the book Break The Mold by Dr Jill Crista for list. Sugar was hardest for me to stop (100% dark choc is OK), it feeds the mold.
Having a session here with Dr. Beth sounds like a great idea. I also have several health issues and it's so hard to know where to start! Good luck 🤞 😊
Hi there, I know, mold detoxing is a very involved process! I am so glad you were able to get tested and find resources to start healing! If you want to connect with me or have any questions about what I offer, please feel free to shoot me an email at beth@drbethwestie.com! :)@@KN-bx9nt
@@DrBethWestie thank you, I may well do, have made a note of your details 😊
He's the best route.
1. Carnivour diet
2. Leave the exposure site
3. Cholestyramine/welchol for 3 to 6 months respectively
4. High dose fish oil while on binders mentioned above to dampen detox reactions
5. Treat marcons if you have them with EDTA/BEG spray
6. Start VIP spray treatment.
Ive been sick for over a year now! I found out I had BLACK MOLD growing two feet from where I slept for months! No dr can figure out what’s wrong with me. I came across a video of someone talking about CIRS and mold sickness. Almost every symptom matches what I’m dealing with. I think I finally have an answer however how do I about finding a doctor for this? Thank you for your info this was so incredibly helpful
WOW! I am so sorry to hear that you have been so sick, but what a relief that you finally found the culprit! I have walked several women through mold detoxing, here is a free consult link if you would like to discuss further with one of the docs on my team: calendly.com/dr-beth-westie/free-consult
If not, I would recommend searching functional practitioners in your area. :)
I'm 19 and grew up in different types of mold for 18 years, and it never occurred to me to talk to my doctor about that since I moved out almost a year ago
For me the mold toxicity may be one of the triggers for autoimmune response that I have going on. I found out I have 4 types of mold mycotoxins. More tests are being done for other things. I have already been eating extremely healthy because of the autoimmune issues - loads of vegetables, good protein, supplements, berries, coconut milk. No dairy, no grains (for now), no sugar or sweeteners at all. So when I started drinking herbal teas to help detox and doing some bone broth, I can tell a difference. I'm going slow and waiting for more test results before I do too much.
Sounds like you are doing a lot for your health, that is so awesome!
Hi Beth, yep, with you on all of this.
I am B+ blood and told my system is not detoxing mould.
Celtic and Scandinavian people allegedly we have the biggest issues clearing it.
Scandinavian are all O type
I'm Celtic and Scandinavian and have a defective HLA-DR genotype (dreaded gene)
@@unassailable6138 Apparently not,
After years of doctors and supplements, the thing that helped me the most was doing the Carnivore diet.
Thank you so much for sharing. How long did you do it for?
@@aishwaryapahwa I'm at 8 months now.
I live in Florida. I think I have mold toxicity. My health has been going downhill for about 2 years now. Maybe longer but I've noticed it in the last two years. At first I thought it was just getting older and maybe menopause but I'm sick all the time. Lately it's been affecting my legs and my arms like a intense fibromyalgia. I thought it was MS. I have general malaise every single day. And it's hard to have energy. Please tell me what I need to do.
You can test your home for mold. That’s a good place to start.
Omg I can relate to you, doc tells me nothing is wrong I’m like wth?? No way
I moved into a apt a year ago I literally have had a headache/migraine daily,
I have been sick since I moved here it’s a old old bldg I just want me back I went to doc today a line of meds 3/xs now I’m moving next week I can’t wait but the thing is the across the hall said the same thing also, I clean for a living I can barely clean a home , if you knew me a yr ago you’d crap,
I’ve gained weight can’t get it off NEVER BEEN THREW THIS EVERTHING SHE MENTIONED I HAVE
FATIGUE, anxiety, fibromyalgia, migraine, brain fog, ect it all
Thank you my lil guardian angel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just told my mom
“ I feel like I’ve been poisoned my entire life mom”
@@loricook3274 I found that apple cider vinegar and water helps kill the mold. Also taking activated charcoal twice a day. Helps.
Get plenty of sunshine and or red light therapy.. That also kills mold
I invested in the mold candles. Putting them in each room letting them go for hours. Also purchased a dehumidifier to dry up anything that might be wet... And then I also purchased the mold spray. Not sure if that works yet but couldn't hurt.
But I do need to get someone out to visit my house.. and test
I just started feeling like this last sat . I think it's because when my brother in-law took out old moldy air conditioner. Now I haven't slept , cough like whooping cough. ,Joint pain, brain fog,, migraine, even using my inhaler w steroids. I'm dying going to er .
@@RavenWolfDrum69 I hope things have improved for you
Thank you so much for posting this video.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Its just a big commercial for her saying you cannot do it yourself-you need her, you need tests. You watch enough videos and you can figure it out yourself. The supplements cost a fortune without having take all those tests and hire a doc. She never did tell you what she did to get over mold, she just told you how you needed tests and someone else to help you.
This is a great video. Finally somebody who skips the bs
Thanks!
My apartment was leaking from bad pipes for months. Keep telling the manager so maintenance could address the issue. Mold growing on ceiling and walls and I’m constantly fighting mold. Sucks I need to get outta of here but the price of living keeps me here.
UGH, I am SO sorry to hear this! Management should definitely take responsibility for that!
I was healthy and all of a sudden I became really exhausted, had shortness of breath, my face became orange and red in colour, no matter how much I slept or exercised it got worse and worse and I began to look like somebody who was extremely sleep deprived. It got to the point where I started getting strange looks from people in public. Had all the mold removed from my house yesterday. Today was better than yesterday but I look normal again. I drink 4 litres of water a day, I eat a healthy diet and I exercise and have done always. Dont drink, dont smoke or do drugs. But look dead because of mold.
I am so sorry you had to live in mold, it can be so devastating! I'm glad it has been removed!
I spoke to a doctor today and she asked if i was exposed to mold, yes over and over. What are the binders do i need? I need more explaination. I fit all explaination.
I’ve been dealing with all of that from a teenager I was in such a moldy apartment that got condemned and burned down. It literally had a grassy stem grow on my roof . Later got to a house with a moldy closet.
Dr. Westie thank you for putting important information out there for people who are battling mold. I have been detoxing for 2 months now and I’m losing my hair in large amounts and it is extremely dry like straw. Help!
You definitely have to make sure you are also keeping nutrient stores up while detoxing!
@@DrBethWestieHow to keep nutrient stores up for hair?
@nancyhamilton6969 definitely high protein, lots of leavy greens, berries, a wide variety of whole foods, etc. It helps if you have tests or labs done to make sure you're not deficient in anything too.
Are you saying the detox made your hair fall out?
@@shulamitlazarus9867when you’re aiding your body with detox the mold fights back😂 especially if there’s a biofilm. Found out the hard way😢😢. It’s best to microdose and slow down. And put in nutrients your body needs also I learnt about fasting. Mine is my sinuses I tried a one day fast and I couldn’t continue but right when I was about To eat some of my stuffy nose that never comes out came out a bit. But too late cos I was so weak and needed to work 😂 however I’m doing alternate day carbs (very low) just 1s a day since they feast on carbs too then once I’m a little adjusted I’m going to do full keto then take a break from work and do a fast again😩😭😫. First time I found out I rushed in too quick with milk thistle detox and while my sinuses drained the first three days I new nothing and I stopped the treatment because I didn’t know about opening up other detox pathways so my skin really took a huge one and my eyes and my face I keep getting huge thick acne that won’t burst (also because when your body is detoxing or fighting those little demons As I call them your same body shuts off so you can’t poop, which is one of the ways our body sends things out and it pushes to the skin so even if you’re using a binder if you’re not having about 1-2 bowel movements daily the mycotoxins will make things worse. So in my experience I’ve realised doing an anti-mold/yeast diet basically just meat and veggies and no nuts cos those are terrible for mold there’s a lady on Tiktok I forgot her name who has a list for foods to avoid when treating mold she did for 30 days and got healed.
Opening up detox pathways because your body is also working hard to get rid of them on its own.
Then doing the fast to weaken and kill what’s left
And then you start the whole binding and treatments while still utilizing the detox pathways so they don’t repopulate and get stronger. I’m on week one of my Alternate day Keto. I’ll update how it goes although since started I’ve been spitting out yellow phlegms naturally and also I things. I have terrible dandruff which I realised was due to mold when I checked the timing of where I lived and where it started. Last week when I did the 1 and half day fast my scalp did not itch one bit😮. And now with me doing Alternate day carbs it doesn’t itch as crazy as it used to😮😮😮.
Can mold cause permanent brain damage for children who grow up in it? My 11 year old has a learning disability and struggles with memory so much. I’m distraught now finding out about our hidden mold problem and wondering if it could have attributed to this.
You could also learn to down regulate. You are in your sympathetic nervous system. Mouth breathing, drama, over excited. This can be changed and then you will digest and detox better. You will see immune function improvement.
Can you explain further?
Is MTHFR polymorphism one of the generic differences that cause people to be unable to detox themselves?
I understand binders now. Thanks so much. I would like to see if I can get this Dutch Test done for a good friend of mine.
So happy it was helpful!
Hello. What’s the gene test? I’m homozygous for an MTHFR mutation but I’m not sure what the test is for detoxing mold. I’m certain I have this problem too. I’m in a living hell . A shit storm of severe symptoms and most of the world has no idea that it’s very real. Thanks for your video. ❤
If you send me an email I can send over more information on the genetic testing we use! Beth@drbethwestie.com
I am hoping you'll reply as to what you might recommend for men with Mold Exposure. I am spaced out big time and wish I could think clearly. Anything for us guys?
No it’s always about women and prioritizing them
I don't know how people can recover from mold mycotoxins. I have multiple different mold mycotoxins. I was diagnosed with it and a tick disease 1 and a half yrs ago and I'm still sick with bad symptoms. How do people get better. I'm about to give up. I have some things here to treat but am so frustrated that I don't want to touch any of it. I was diagnosed with these illnesses by a holistic dr because this stupid conv medical system has done absolutely nothing.
I'm so sorry you're struggling, I know it's tough. And I agree- more often than not, we have to take our health into our own hands and seek better help and more answers. Detoxing and recovering from mold is really tough to do if you're still in a contaminated environment, so definitely start with that. And then making sure you have the proper guidance and support for your healing journey is vital. If you have questions, I'm happy to help. You can email me at beth@drbethwestie.com anytime and we can chat in more detail if you'd like.
This applies to even if you go the pharmacutical route. I was going down that road and my body was not ready...you really need to be top notch shape.
So honest, and clearly spelled out! Thank you I am looking for the right doctor, I hired a health coach, a few days ago, since I can't trust my fogging thinking. She is tending to the details of my nutrients to be built up and we are both looking for an MD in Utah for the detox to do medicine and or (binders) locally.... Thank You, I am, Sick of being Sick! Bless you, I subscribed
Find a Functional Medical Practitioner. They will help you get the right tests done and help you figure out a plan that's right for you. I'm going through this too and waiting for more test results.
Dr Beth, thank you SO MUCH for this video! What kind of protein do you recommend? Whey protein powder? Pea protein powder? Or specific amino acid supplementation? I try to eat as much meat/eggs/fish but I don't think I'm getting enough through the diet.
Hi there, so glad you enjoyed the video! For protein powders, I like whey protein, beef isolate, or plant based protein. It's ideal that you get the most variety in your diet first, and then supplement as needed. :)
@@DrBethWestie oh wow, you replied to me! You're the best! I appreciate your input so so much ❤️
@@nohaaljawhary2058just be cautious with manmade powdered products in general. Many are lactose intolerant so wouldn't do well with whey powder.
Pea protein can have a crap load of heavy metals compared to just eating whole pea,s for instance.
Whole foods sources are ideal. Harder to overdose those
Hello! Thank you so much for your post. I had a heavy mold exposure for about a year. Finally figured it out with no help from the doctors. Treated the house and sold it. But I’m still living with the consequences and like I said, the doctors are not help. They act like I’m crazy. I got incredibly sick. A couple months after I moved most of the things resolved themselves but anytime I get around it at all the problems come back and I have to take a heavy dose of a certain type of B1 or within three days I’m having debilitating symptoms again. I am on Medicare and disability and I’m willing to do all the work but can’t find anyone to help. Do you have any advice?
Help from doctors? Ha! Im disabled too. Front-line nurse, severe covid in march 2020 and when I was kicked to the curb when I refused the vent. I went home, got worse, house was flooding, roof leaked, and the place I worked which was moldy as well. I have no money, and I'm still on a journey. Long covid, lyme, mold, and it's really a mess. I lost ability to sense my sugars (disregulated my pancreases too). I'm doing EBOO, ozone, etc....helpful. However, it's depresing too
Why sell a house with prior mold. Did you disclose this. 😢
Research Itraconazole pulse. You do a one week pulse and take 3 weeks off, find a sympathethic physician , ideally a pneumonologist or allergist who can prescribe the course to you. B1 or ;; binders'' won't do it.
I need help. My hair started falling out and then followed fatigue vomiting and diarrhea. Kittens grew into cats with abdominal distention and skin issues. Son has skin issues and sleep issues. I can see the water damage and mold. Can smell it. Can’t move. Lost my job. We will be homeless because of this.
:( I can relate
I am having neurological issues. Neurologist "thinks" its PLS but "not certain". I did a mycotoxin test and was almost 100% with fungal mold. Went to naturopath and he prescribed chlorophyl and yeast/fungal detox herbs with liver castor oil packs. Apparently, I was not moving any nutrients to my brain and possibly this caused me to be physically "off balance", disequilibreated. I have been doing this for 6 weeks with not very much improvement. I am also taking a binder. So what nutrients besides protein should I be eating? I don't want the binder to have a negative effgect.
Hi there! Please reach out to my assistant at conact@drbethwestie.com, and she can give you more information!
Hi, I just found your video and I clicked on the link for the Dutch test, however I was expecting the video to explain how taking this test will help you decide which binder to take, however the video doesn't even talk about mold. Did I misunderstand?
Hi there! The DUTCH is a hormone map which is what the info video in the link breaks down. However, I always recommend a DUTCH with expected mold toxicity as there are many markers in the DUTCH test that would show what the mold is affecting in your system, and the impact it is having on your hormones. High inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, how your pathways are detoxing, etc. can all be seen on this test. :)
I'm suffering from extreme weight loss, I'm having bouts of fainting and my doctors have been literally laughing at me for saying it's mould exposure
Great video , have you heard of zeolite ?
yes
is it always significant if at least one or two mycotoxins are present in the urine, even if they at moderately high levels?
Today I found an incredible amount of mold under a plant that was sitting on a plant stand. I have been dealing with throat tightness and swallowing, breathing issues for a long time. I have had a ton of testing all come back normal. Is it possible it’s due to mold exposure? It was right next to my head, literally breathing it in for years.
Yes it’s definitely possible!
I discovered mine through a urinalysis through a Chiropractor. Some study nutrition (holistic) health
WHAT ARE THE BINDERS PLEASE?
A binder is something that will bind to the toxins and help expel them from your system, like activated charcoal.
What's a Dutch test please
It is a comprehensive hormone test! It is a urine collection, so it shows your hormone metabolites which do not show ups on a standard blood panel. You can find the link to the test in the video description
Hi!.. I've been struggling with breathing issues for a while now and a lot of construction in my lungs, I think it's mold. I am so ready to feel better and be able to breathe fully. Please help 🙏❤
Hi there, I always recommend the DUTCH test so you can see what pathways need to be supported to help mold detoxing. You can find the link in the video description.
I want to detox from mold. I have left my moldy apartment. I’m a man so what test should I take?
Binders are a great place to start, you can check out the one from Nutridyn!
Recommended treatments, please? I have also paid for the expensive testing, both for myself and my home. I’ve been a valuated at the local Alzheimer’s clinic. My neurologist says there is no research, no proof, nothing that validates mold toxicity. It’s in my blood. It’s in my urine. It’s affecting my cognition, my career is at risk. Can anyone point me in the direction of treatments?
How do I get the Dutch test done? I’m already constipated and worried about binders making things worse. I’ve been sick my whole life and I just keep getting worse and no one wants to help me. I also have Lyme and don’t know how much is Lyme, herxheimer reaction, detoxing trouble, etc. I have mthfr c677t with intermediate COMT. Any direction you can send me would be appreciated .

Are nightmares associated with mold toxicity?
Iam trying to recover from mold after being exposed for 5 yrs and the landlord knew because he never wanted me to call a professional I kept getting so sick gaining weight losing weight hair loss depression anxiety mold rage I drove my family crazy because they didn’t know what’s wrong mold wreeked havoc on my entire body and drs are no help because they say it’s just allergies I don’t know what else to do I developed so many infections and had sepsis and almost died now my immune system is so weak I get sick very fast 😢
I am so sorry to hear this, mold exposure can absolutely wreak your immune system. I always recommend the DUTCH test so you can see what pathways need supported for detox, you can find the link in the description of this video
I am on opti fiber lean. I am doing one sprinkle twice a week. I was ok for the first 3ish weeks. Now this week I have had 3 massive adrenaline dumps making me violently ill. I have been bed bound for 3 years with POTS and dysautonomia. How can I get the dumps to stop please.
I developed hemorrhoids and after 1 month they started itching like crazy, i am taking anti allergic tablet once a day everyday now...i also noticed that the periods are early each month now.
I get fissure and hemorrhoids every now and then even though i am always hydrated and eat enough fibre.
I have a mould in my house , could it be the culprit ?
Hi there! The itching aspect sounds more similar to a histamine reaction. A GI MAP could be helpful to see what your gut is doing! You can get more information here: dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/offers/atCzhzkQ
I need to get genetic testing..... I’m day 11 of detox and feel awful. Heart rate has been high. I’m taking go detox, Berber one and glutathione and colloidal silver in my nose...it’s been hell! I’m always dehydrated and drinking a ton. i have high ochrstoxin a and Klebsiella. I always now can’t eat histamines oxalates and salycalate. I. Basically only eating protein. I have lost 25 lb in 2 months

You forgot breathing issues soar throat joint pain.
.many more
YES, those are absolutely signs!
I don’t think my first comment went through....I have high ochratoxin and klebsiella... I am taking glutathione, gi detox, Berberin, colloidal silver in nose..I have been so sick. I can’t eat much and loosing a lot of weight. The heart rate being so high is my worst symptoms. I feel dehydrated constantly even tho I’m drinking mineral water. Idk what to do. My energy is gone, post nasal drip, shortness of breath...I’m 11 days into detox. Also can’t eat oxalates sal and histamine foods. My Period is now all over the place as well. Is it worse before it gets better?
Detox can be really tough and often times it does feel like it’s getting worse before it’s going to get better.
@@DrBethWestie ok thank you!! That eases my mind a bit. Def not fun! Thanks for the great vid :)
@@SydneyMorganBeauty how is it going now?
It went through. It's right above this comment.
i was sick at that house of mine for 2.5 years i realized it late at first i tought it is because of covid 2020 december of mine i tought it made histamine intolerance or mast cell activation for me after the covid ,covid was a mask for my symptoms and made me lose 1.5 years to realize it is actually my heavily moldy apartmen causing this , i can't sleep well, i have itchy face rashes ,hand eczema with bloody cracks ,brain fog , can't remember words well can't focus due to my disrupted sleep i am tired all the time i am a teacher and i have hard time waking up going to work ,i can't lose weight and gained tons of fat ,my face is changed to a completely different puffy face person i used to consider myself a handsome man now i can't even look at the mirror cuz my face looks terrible with rashes redness fatty face. its been 37 days i am out of my old apartment , now i live in 3rd floor and open doors or windows all the time it is a bit of obsession for me now. i use glutiathone,active carbon,bentonite clay,chlorella,probiotic pills. i never was able to go to doctor cuz in my country no one has idea about mold toxicity the diagnose was all mine in that 2.5 years process also i lost tons of hair during that 2.5 years i can say that im gonna go bald in a year. after my detox started i experienced bad stuff it continues really confusing... i am losing hair faster now i have cystic acne on my face itchy scalp hairloss and acne-like stuff in my scalp with no white infection in those acne its just a bumpy red thing on my face and scalp what i wonder is ,is that normal ? is detox process really that hard ? what should i expect during those periods (im on my 37. day) 3rd month ? 6th month ? when will i feel good at least a little bit cuz it is like there is no difference between moldy apartment of mine and now.
I am at the point where I feel I'm going to die, loss tone of weight, sugar crave, thiroid down, adrenal fatigue, anemia, amenhorrea, hair loss, bruning and joint pain, itching, yeast overgrowth, constipation. I have started antifungals, and I feel that i'm getting worse. I am eating a lot of protein but I feel that my body just does not take it because he is as so much to detoxify for!!!! What do you mean by Binders?
I also just discovered that my place is full of mold! Wearing a mask and air purifier until I can move to a new place asap!! Getting lost, and scared...
Oh no! I'm so sorry you're struggling. If you need any extra help, feel free to email me any questions you have. beth@drbethwestie.com
@@DrBethWestieI’m having the hair loss, joint pain, headaches, increased anxiety, insomnia, lost 12lbs in 3 weeks in April. Hair loss since June and I’ve taken multivitamins biotin and collagen for a year. Does hair grow back after mold toxicity ? Had 10 tests done from FSH, tsh 3&4 free, vitamin levels, and hormones. Testosterone was .02 but I had a total hysterectomy in 2013. I wear a Climara estrogen patch and thought it was causing hair loss so I stopped that but it didn’t help. The house I’m is over 100 yrs old and is full of black mold and more under this house. Floor joists fell causing floors to sag and mold smell pours in! I’m allergic to mold! Found that out in 2005 but trying to find a place I can afford on ssd is hard. Going through a separation soon due to mental abuse for 16yrs and I’m 54. Have to get out of this moldy house away from him! Landlord hasn’t done a thing to fix this and the first joists fell 4 yrs ago. I’m too old for this and all I want is to be with my grand daughters and my daughter in a fresh non moldy environment. So sorry I got into all that! That was my anxiety in action. 😢
Wearing a mask and air purifier.. uh, maybe get out, genius… now! 🤡
My 21 yr old daughter has been extremely sick from mold. The new place she’s renting also has mold in the register for the A/C. Drs keep treating everything with antibiotics & other times they just ignore it saying it’s a viral thing. What binders do you take? What can I do for her that really can help? I worry so much about her. She was just recently told by ER dr that her lungs don’t look the way it should for a 21 yr old. She doesn’t smoke either. It’s very very scary. All your info can help. How do we get a Dutch test? By a regular dr??
I’m so sorry she’s dealing with this. This link will have more information: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
If you fill out the form on that page I will send over an email with information on which test you need, the cost, what’s included and how to order.
Wow, that's so crazy how dismissive medical professionals can be. I just had septoplasty surgery because that was the first thing my Dr referred me for when I went to her with these symptoms. They didn't do any tests at all, no allergy tests, nothing. They just introduced a national health service coverage here, so they are just referring anyone for any kind of surgery and saying its necessary so they can claim the money from the government. The surgery was horrible, and it has made my symptoms worse. I dont trust health professionals here at all but I trust this lady.
Has your daughter improved? She needs to be put on Itraconazole pulse , find a good allergist/pulmonologist.
@unassailable6138 I'm on Intraconazole...what's Intraconazole plus ? Is there a difference?
Im scared to take another binder. After 1 month, I lost part of my molar while biting into a soft mango.
I don’t think these things are connected. A molar takes a really long time to deteriorate, and wouldn’t happen after being on a binder for a month. But it’s always best to consult a physician before starting any supplement.
I would see an holistic dentist. This can definitely be an underlying issue.
Was told shoemaker protocol is the only thing that works and until you do the protocol nothing will work
You rock Dr. Beth. How do you get your levels? Do you have to make a doctor appointment? I'm finding most insurance does not cover mold toxicity.
Hi there, taking the DUTCH test can help show us what pathways need supported for detoxing mold
How can we test for mold? Thanks
There are a few different tests but I recommend first testing your home. An ERMI plus endotoxin test is a good place to start. Then testing yourself & understanding how genetics will play a role.
I am suffering from black mold and cannot move out yet,I tried garlic and lost my sense of smell and body aches like the flu.
Trust me, moving out is the BEST way to get off mold toxicity. I just moved out about 5 weeks ago, and without any intervention I’m on the road to recovery.
Most generic variations don't kill your liver. Maybe epigenetic, and not saying it can't affect it, but if you aren't dead, you're liver is functioning too some degree.
Of course modern society stress and alcohol can reduce liver function, but otherwise the liver can't cease to function (that's called jaundice)
My mouth is a bit red like yours is. Only my dermatologist thinks it's mold but his topical creams don't work.
Does mold toxicity seem to effect women more then men? I have found mold in two rooms of my house. My daughters and i frequently feel sick with gut issues and cycle problems. But my son and husband seem to be fine. Our quality of life is effected not sure the next step and can't spend a fortune on it :(
Yes. Studies point to that.
@@A.M.0000I’m a man & have been affected by it horribly. It’s a mutated gene HDLR from what I learned that’s causes the individual to be prone..
Hello and thank you for your information. Do you only work with females? I have CIRS and am trying to figure out what to do next .
I work with men as well, feel free to email me at beth@drbethwestie.com

How does a hormones test result have anything to do with getting the right binder for mold? Especially for people who were healthy and had correct hormones test before mold exposure. Can you give examples for a man, where the hormone test result would make zeolite not a good binder for mold?
This specific test shows how well your system is moving through detox pathways and each phase of the detoxification process. So depending on which phase your system is struggling with the recommendation would change.
Hello, is there a test for the gut to know what binders to take ?
What determines what type of binder is right for me?
Hi there! Here is a link for a free consult where you can chat with one of the doctors on my team about your questions: calendly.com/dr-beth-westie/free-consult
What is the genetic variation which means you can have issues detoxing? I have MTHFR hetero and have done 23&me
What kind of proteins do you mean ? Grass fed beef , plant protein?
Hi there, I always recommend grass fed beef and organic chicken without steroids and antibiotics. Plant protein is great, just make sure you get enough of it and aren't relying to heavily on soy-based products. :)
@@DrBethWestie thank you so much I appreciate your advice ❤️ hope u have a great day
I know there's visible mold in my house and I have tested the mold in between the walls. Housing nor code is helpful to me. I cannot find an attorney and now I'm being forced Even to MOVE And I want to, but I'm sick as hell no money for U-Haul or down payment on apartment so I'm going homeless. I have been researching for almost a year now for someway for some authority to take a hold of this and I've got so much brain fog because I'm still going through menopause and this I am lost and alone I need serious help. As my business is under the same roof and now I'm being told everything is contaminated and I....
Currently losing my mind, I got exposed to bad toxic mold. Where do you propose I go
Can it get worse before it gets better ? I literally just been on bioresonance treatment for aflatoxin and it took longer to harmonise than 2 weeks ago however a week ago i begun taking gluthiatone. I have moved home ane reduced exposure I don't understand.. please let me know what you think, losing hope of getting better
Thank you. You mentioned protein can you tell us how much protein?
This depends person to person but usually grams or protein equal to lean body mass is a good place to start.
Is charcoal a binder? Any examples
Activated charcoal does aid in binding to mycotoxins. I also like the Mycobind one!
Thank you so much! God bless you .mycobind ? Is it easy to find
I have aspergillus in my gut following a oats test, what can I do to help myself. I get such intestinal pains
Do you need to physically leave the mold before doing this?
Yes, I would highly recommend it
Hi, what test showed you that your system does not detox the toxins?
I used a DUTCH test and a genetic test.
@@DrBethWestieI'm curious which genetic test? Thanks for the response!
I have CIRS and still very high levels of mold shown in my bloodwork. I started activated charcoal (1/64 tsp/day) five days ago and I feel worse. Is this normal? I would ask my doctor but she never tells me what to expect and doesn't give much clarity.
It can be common for things to feel worse before they get better.
Heximer reaction
Open up your detox pathways then try again. As @sarahjoseph said search herx reaction
I have had a viral eye infection for several months. Ali
can you also talk plz about metal toxicity? mold and yeast like this too
Hi me and my family are going threw this ,how do I do the Dutch test ?it's me my wife and 2 kids that are still very sick 😢we have moved out of the house but been like 2 years and all suffer with mast cell now desperate to recover from this , especially to get my 2 small children better 😢 thanks 🙏
Feel free to send me an email! Beth@drbethwestie.com of this link will have more info on DUTCH testing: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
I found out i had mold under my lamp on my bed side it was like 4 small n medium size mold circles on the fabric on the indoor of the lamp . It wasn’t direct contact to the table but it was inside the bottom part of the lamp . I had a viral lung infection that damn near took me out in September 2023 im now dealing with a “ sinus infection “ according to my doctor he told me this information before i discovered the mold. Now i think this js why i was sick and still am . Im currently finding it difficult to breathe especially through my nose its a struggle at night its draining. I want to cry sometimes because its frustrating i just got off antibiotics for the sinus infection and tbh i still feel the same what do you recommend i do ?
Oh my gosh I am SO sorry to hear that! Please feel free to email me so we can discuss this more: beth@drbethwestie.com
I’m assuming I can’t detox from mold while breastfeeding. Is that correct?
I would not recommend it
How do you typically help someone (with CIRS and very low MSH) get rid if MARCoNS? Any tips/tricks?
XLEAR nasal spray and xylitol rinse has helped my marcons so much!!!
protein yes. good fats every bit as important
A few weeks ago I moved a few towels outside that once moved I saw a ton of darker mold. Immediately I had sinus headaches and then my asthma flared terribly. A week later still feeling the lung tightness. Went away for 3 days everything started to clear up. Came home feeling crummy again. And I’ve gained 7 pounds in 9 days! Is this a side effect? 1) can a one time exposure create all this havoc 2) we also had a flood about 14 months ago. I live in a dry area. They fixed it. But how can you tell if it’s behind your walls? Saw a dr and a lung X-ray nothing.
I’m so frustrated.
I feel awful. Tinnitus. Metallic taste in mouth. Brain fog. Weight gain.
Where can I start? What binder? I’m so confused
These are great questions, dutch testing is a really great place to start. Here's a link where you can get things started: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
Once you fill out the little questionnaire on that page, we'll send over information on how to order, cost, etc. A 60-minute consultation is included, this is where we will address your questions here, your health history, your results, goals, etc. And you will receive customized recommendations for best next steps!
A functional medicine doctor/integrative doctor will most definitely help you in this situation.
My ochratoxin A level was high. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it!
Charcoal and binders would be a good place to start!
@@DrBethWestie Thank you so much for your reply! My ND is having me take charcoal. Again, thank you for taking your time to respond to my question.
I just found out we have an incredible amount of mold growing out of my room mates bathroom roof wall... That explains why I started feeling anxious again after beating it a year and a half ago and now that I think abiut it he had a mold problem then as well... Fuck I should of stayed in Cali. Anyways where can I find information about detoxing and other things because I'm honestly tired of feeling weak, out of energy, depressed, anxious to hell and back. You name it.
We just went through the same
Cycle doesn’t come often enough to take the Dutch test. What other tests for mold. You mentioned one test goes into how your body detoxes. Which test is that ?
You don't have to have a regular cycle (or a cycle at all) to get a lot of really valuable information from a dutch test!! I really encourage testing even more so if you have these issues and an irregular cycle! The dutch shows how your body detoxes through the different pathways, nutrient levels, inflammation markers, gut markers, etc. And it's all so, so helpful!!
@@DrBethWestie oh May ok. I will look for your link to the test. Thank you sooo much for responding!
My issue with all the mold channels is Iv found absolutely no one that says how low the spore can should be for air . I know Ermi should be low but no one gives help with the air .
Mold guys don’t really come to a house of air counts are considered low, they won’t come and clean anything get rid of the dust for you.
Why can’t anyone give a real answer? There’s an insinuation air tests are not good enough but as some have told me, it’s hard to argue against them, if it’s not in the air , then it isn’t coming in contact with you anyways.
Kind of hard to deny that logic. I don’t need to know how to detox yet I need to know numbers
What are binders, and please don’t talk so fast‼️
Binders are supplements you can take that will attach and bind to mold particles so that they can be easily flushed from your system!
Do you work with people? I'm in Canada!
Yep I do! send me an email: beth@drbethwestie.com
Funny, im around black and brown mold all the time without any mask or anything when i remove it from different bathrooms and crawl spaces and never have gotten any adverse effects from it.. i do make sure to wash my hands after touching it .. i guess some people are just more susceptible to some things.. crazy..
Most people can detox mold normally, meaning their bodies can eliminate it naturally. But a certain percent of the population can’t; it’s a genetic issue.
Sometimes, if a family lives in a home with mold, only the individuals who can’t detoxify will be sick. Anyone whose got a normal bodily detox mechanism will be mostly fine or unaffected. It’s a genetic mutation, some people don’t carry the correct genes for mold elimination, which is why only some people get incredibly sick.
The amount matters too. My son was sleeping in a mild growing bedroom for a year due to the water leak from upper apartment.
Question! Can bad mold exposure make your face puffy? I have it REALLY bad. Horrible brain fog 24/7, but I noticed my face is really puffy too. You mentioned looking slimmer after detox, is that wha y u meant? Slimmer face?
Yea it can. That’s exactly what happened to me.
@@DrBethWestie it’s interesting. Is this from the inflammation the mold causes our body to undergo?
Yep!
what binder did you take
Mycobind and HM-ET are both great binders :)
do those have to be prescribed? @@DrBethWestie
But how can you get enough protein/ nutrients when you have alpha gal? I have an allergy to ALL red meat and dairy and red meat by products
@@dg594bullshit, vegans are in horrible health. No one is allergic to red meat, unless you get bit by a tick. There would be other underlying things going on.
Would really appreciate some advice been trying to get better for about 2 years spent so much money on supplements but nothing helps. Plus our mast cells are so bad we just react to everything just seems impossible to get my family better 😢
I did email you back!
Hi thanks I will give you email 🙂I was thinking about getting some liposomal glutathione and chorella as a binder to take for a while for me and my family,would you say that is a good thing to start? always nervous of trying new things as always seems to make us worse 😥 thanks,,
@@DrBethWestie I do suspect we have mold in our condo.. especially the shower, kitchen sink area, and the laundry room.. is renovating the place will help get rid of it?
@@parinazaz4044 Hi there, mold is tricky to locate and when renovating you want to make sure it is treated. If it were me, I would find a specialist to test the areas before the renovation so you know for sure how to get rid of it.
What about ozone therapy for mold exposure???
This has helped me quite a bit.
What does that involve?
@@apacur they pull blood out of you into a bag intravenously. You then ozone it (it’s anti bacterial and antiviral and helps detox) and then hang it up and it pours back into you. Kinda cleans the blood etc.
@@mattyice6370 there is a process called EBOO that van do this
