Mold exposure can lead to serious health issues and long-lasting effects, impacting various aspects of daily life. It took me two years, professional guidance, targeted treatments, and lifestyle adjustments to finally start healing from mold toxicity. So, this is how I'm healing myself from black mold poisoning.

My 9 yo daughter has been dealing with a mystery illness for over a year now, 4 months of hospitalization & drs could never figure it out. I finally went to a functional med practitioner & he did some testing & found high amounts of mold in her system! I told her regular drs and they are skeptical! This has been such a nightmare because my daughter is in a wheelchair on the verge of death & the health care system failed us! She starts her mold detox today. I will start sharing her story to spread awareness
What methods did you use and how is your daughter doing now?
@@beterc0re20 my daughter is currently in hospital, I had a mold inspector come to the house today to check for mold & make sure my daughter is ok to come back home. She most likely got sick while we lived in Hawaii for 3 years (huge mold issue in Hawaii) we’re working with Evan Brand, I have a detox protocol from Evan Brand with vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, probiotics, microbe slayer, & a binder & I have to start her very very slowly. It will take a while to recover her brain & immune system is on fire. Also lots of polyphenols (carrots, ocra, asparagus, artichoke, & beets are great) & make sure 1-2 stools a day
I am so glad she has a mother that sounds as dedicated to fixing and healing her as you are ❤ don’t give up, scour Reddit for info from other people about mold and any updates on how she is doing and how you detoxed would be much appreciated! Hope you both are doing well
Would you mind to share what tests one should take to defect mould toxicity ?
Please help her because I am going through the same thing. Praying for you both
Good video. If you have been diagnosed as 'possible' MS, then you should consider Lyme also, which is often misdiagnosed as MS. Lyme disease is very difficult to diagnose correctly and not easy to treat when it has been with you long term. Often people with Lyme are more sensitive to mold. Herbal treatments, Ivermectin and Methylene Blue are good to use. Good luck young Sir.
I actually was diagnosed with both at the same time. Back then I had no idea about health or anything however now I don’t know what to think. Fortunately I’ve done all these treatments by now for different reasons. And thank you!
I am so glad you are recovered, I am still fighting my fight, many years on. Knowledge is power and the best way to learn is to experience stuff first hand. Not much fun at the time but what one learns, protects as you go through life. Good luck. 👍
@@healthyholistichomes
Very true
Sounds very similar to our experience in the states. New construction here in Virginia allows HVAC ductwork in unconditioned crawlspaces which leads to condensation in the HVAC systems that can lead to mold in the air. It's hard to pinpoint since the water and the mold is hidden behind walls and leaves no visible signs, just illness.
VA and new construction is where I got super sick from mold!
@@jennagress Yup, not surprised. Roughly 10 years ago, the homebuilding community began a campaign of lobbying and deregulation that has led to crappy builds that make people sick. Sorry you suffered through that; it's awful.
I’m still very debilitatingly sick from water damaged building exposures. Seems I’m just moving from one moldy place to another. Lost everything too many times. Been exposed my whole life at schools, homes, workplaces, hotels, other people’s homes. Can’t get away from it and I too am a mold canary bc other family and friends aren’t as affected.
Have ever seen a practitioner for a healing plan?
@@carl8568 saw many many different healthcare providers. Only feel better when I go to certain places but unfortunately I can’t live in those places bc they’re outside or stores
I will share the most humiliating symptom I had all throughout our long lockdowns .
Night time bed wetting
It was not just a small accident .
Only at night !
Guess what
I went away for 2 weeks
I did not wet the bed
It is part of the Arenal system
No one takes me seriously expect my psychiatrist who gaslit me
He said ' it's actually my pet hate . It's causing most of your pain
He r refused to document anything like my rashes but mood swings
Outbursts rage
Insomnia ( slept every second night )
Mold toxicity suppresses your anti-diuretic hormones. Causes frequent urination
I had this as a symptom as well. But mine was both numbers 1 and 2. It’s embarrassing, but I’m being honest so that other people can be honest and understand their symptoms. This is very real, so there’s really nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about it’s human. I’ve had a massive mold, exposure and parasitic infection that led my health downhill at 30 years old and previous to that I’ve been in perfect health my entire life. Not one underlining health condition or concern, until I was exposed to massive mold in an apartment that I lived in for about a year everything problems, problems, G.I. problems, sinus problems, scary episodes that would land me in the hospital weekly, I felt like my body was shutting down massive inflammation throughout my body I had no idea that I developed food since activities on top of it and I’ve never had an allergy in my life, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, weird spasms throughout my bodies, I was just a mess and my symptoms were so weird all over the place and it wasn’t until about three years into my journey, trying to figure it out Carnivore diet and borderline vegan vegetarian but going carnivore literally saved my life and I’m talking within two weeks. All my symptoms started dissipating, but I did expect to get 100% better on the carnivore diet just as everyone I researched claimed they had. But the differences with people who have really bad, mold or parasitic infections it still needs to be treated so instead of getting 80% better I can get 100% better. Even though it helps tremendously carnivore is the only thing that has given me any level of normalcy back in my life. I developed really bad diarrhea so not only was I wedding the bed and mind you I’m a grown ass woman, potty, trained, fully potty trained, lol but with my laundry list of symptoms that was just one more thing to add to the laundry list and then during the days if and when I had to go to the bathroom, sometimes it would come on immediately so strong my diarrhea number twos and I would accidentally shut myself. I know it sounds funny, but it makes me really sad Because this has ruined my quality of life and I don’t wish this on anybody. I really thought I was losing my mind and I’ve had numerous conventional medicine. Doctors tell me this was all in my head. Like yeah OK Mr. or Mrs. Dr. me wedding in the bed like never before me shitting myself my heart palpitations the breathing problems. The massive inflammation all the gut issues all the food sensitivitiesall the neurological issues yeah it’s all in my head. So what I found is that conventional medicine is bullshit and they can’t actually help anybody so I’ve stepped outside into integrative and functional medicine where they can actually not only diagnose me properly but then properly treat me.
Wow! Great share! I do as much natural tools as possible yet in my experience combining natural & traditional is the best approach. Whatever the issue. I never realized coffee could have mold! Thanks!
Exactly, shouldn’t shun one or the other just because we’re leaning either way. Difficult to do in practice though 😅 to find this open mindedness and balance
Thank you for sharing so much valuable information! Especially as the medical industry doesn't always seem to know what to do.
Thank you 😇 we're happy that you like it!
I lived in toxic mold for 3 years had every symptom imaginable
A mold test discovered 6 deadly types of mold it was horrendous. We left that house with the clothes on our backs. Holistic medicine is helping mainstream doctors did nothing.
I'm so sorry to hear this! We really hope you're on the track to good health and mold free life. Would love to hear more about your story if you're open to share :)
would you mind listing the specific testing you did? having a hell of a time figuring it out. my doctor literally said "mold testing...? oh, we dont really, like, do that here... i dont really know anything about mold testing.... ive never done it and as far as i recall ive never had a colleague do any sort of mold testing either" stuck with them due to imsurance
@@DogDog-fi7hxI’m in the same situation and wonder the same.
Who is your holistic doctor ? Help …
My daughter has been battling mold illness and Lyme disease for 2 and a half years. We know remission is around the corner. Finding the right doctor and supplements is one of the main keys to getting better. Our home has been remediated. It’s a constant battle with dust and mold spores with 5 filtration air machines along with dusting and mopping the walls and ceilings. Our house is cleaner than a laboratory. It’s exhausting work but health is way more important. We have learned more about mold illness, brain health, remediation, supplements and treatments than we ever thought we needed to. Best wishes for your continued wellness journey.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Lisa. I really hope your daughter will get better very soon! :)
Years ago, I was sick from toxic mold exposure from an apartment we lived in.
Absolutely AWFUL experience!
How did you eventually heal?
@@hschick
Time and LOTS of Sleep.
You seem to be one of the fortunate ones that was able to heal with time@@Cali_Girl1
You're spot on! Rest is so crucial in the process.
@hschick
I was also removed from the environment.
I was VERY sick, and had sores on my face from the humidity, moisture, and condensation inside the apartment.
I was constantly wiping, rubbing, and scratching my itchy face, which caused scars that I still have to this day.
There were literally water droplets on an area of the ceiling, and
Mold under the carpet, behind the refrigerator, and in the drywall, behind the paint.
We also had something like an $1800. gas bill, due to the hot water constantly streaming from the bathtub faucet.
There was also a leaking Toilet in the apartment upstairs, above ours, which contaminated our apartment.
And, the land surrounding the apartment was misgraded, and the water from the sprinklers flowed TOWARD the apartment, instead of AWAY from it.
It was literally a MOLDLY HELLHOLE! 😫
I was taken out of the apartment via ambulance, and the Fire Chief came, and condemned the apartment.
We moved out shortly after.
It took me a very long time to heal from that incident.
It took a very detrimental toll on my physical, mental, and emotional health!
I am STILL traumatized by the events surrounding that incident that occurred nearly 20 years ago. 😰
It's better if I don't think about it, or talk about it, or remember it.
It's opening up old wounds that took a LONG time to overcome. 😓
Thank you for highlighting the difficulties in housing. It's such a big problem especially if you are poor and worst yet chemically sensitive.
It really is. We're making a list of things we want and don't want in our future house. I feel like unless you build a house yourself, there always will be issues. Or landlords, difficult to deal with :D
I'm fucked then as I rent in house shares... How do we heal living in mould as if we can't then how do we live ?@@healthyholistichomes
Check out CIRS (chronic inflammation response syndrome)
Thank you for the tip! I'm working with a specialist who has taken all the possible options into consideration :)
Yes this is what I have
My eyes ? Never needed any reading glasses
I went from 1 to 3
My vision is blurry on this phone .
I have oak.
Bloating
Mood swings
Insomnia
My thumb joint needs splinting
My rashes have been calmed but when carpet ?
Back specs under skin
That was black fungi
I am so sick .
I have a doctors name
I will follow. You
Look into actinomycetes too. It’s not only different molds and their metabolic byproducts. There are other organisms that also are problematic to our health unfortunately
Thank you for sharing! Maybe a topic for an additional video ;)
yes prolonged exposure to mold can cause MS
Which was crazy to me
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. Did you end up on Cholestyramine? I lived in an old rental last year which had high readings of aspergillus. The RE agent was just fricken terrible, withholding the air swab results from me. I put in a claim in a small courts system here in Australia that is designed to take on cases like this regarding renters and it was ordered the mould test results must be released to me. After I took that action, the agent told me I could exit the lease without penalty. Some of these agents are literally criminals and need to be held accountable.
I've been out for nearly a year and now my energy levels are still not great, my stomach acid levels are very low too. I can take 10+ betaine HCl caps and not feel any burn. I will be consulting with a naturopath soon, but I do wonder if extended water fasting is effective for healing from this. I am lean, but I believe I have enough stores to pull off at least 12-14 days on water alone.
There’s a toxic soup of organisms and their toxic metabolic byproducts in water damaged buildings…not only mold and mycotoxins. Unfortunately, mycotoxins decimate mitochondria, inhibit protein synthesis, shutdown detoxification and are genotoxic/carcinogenic. I actually went carnivore to prevent muscle wasting and being composted. But we’re all unique. Research Dr Jill Crista, she’s a naturopath that trains other doctors on this complicated issue and freely shares a lot of great advice on her site and CZcams
Seeing a naturopath is a great start! I wouldn't jump on anything, including fasting, without consulting a practitioner. But that's just me. I'm happy to hear though that you were able to leave the place without penalty. Unfortunately for us, in Portugal (and I'm sure many other places), mold isn't taking seriously enough :(
Over two years since a one time exposure. The only thing a MD could offer me was an oral med, Nystatin. It only quiets the symptoms and cures nothing.
That's terrible. I was under the impression though that Nystatin does help you with mycotoxin burden - so it doesn't just mask symptoms, it's actually functional. However it doesn't repair the mechanisms that mold exposure damaged, as those need to be addressed separately.
Try methylene blue, melatonin, sauna and activated charcoal for starters.
Are you still in Portugal? Can you mention your doctor?
Hey! Not there any more and the person we worked with is from South Africa - we worked with him remotely. Look for @autonomiccoaching on Instagram :)
What tests did your doctor order?
Going though this now
I’m sorry to hear that. Shit situation to be in. Wishing you best of luck in your recovery!
me too
Me too. Moving out.

Oh wow! Did the doctors come through and test you for mold?
Mould In Portugal? Argh, I'm in the U.K and that was one of the places suggested to me as its dry and so more chance of being mould free.
Was it on the coast? Is there anywhere in Europe reccomended for homes at less risk of being mouldy?
Some areas in Portugal are dry, you are right. Coastal areas are definitely more affected by mold. However, the problem there are the outdated and improper building practices and the fact that it rains a lot during winter. The water/moisture accumulates as the houses are not built for that. You add the fact that Portugal is a cold country with a hot sun and you get condensation problems. It's not all bad and I'm sure you can find a great home. We just shared our experience with a few houses we tried to rent before we gave up.
They have seen a correlation between long term parasites and MS.
What tests did your doctor order?
😮
Practitioners tell me in order to heal I need to move out and live in a mould free space only i live in the UK and mould in a home is not uncommon and even moving abroard somewhere dryer is a gamble as it affected you in Portugal.
I rent and cant afford nothing more than House share plus my parents and friends have mould in the home so where do i move too? Can't i heal some how by opening the detox pathways and balancing minerals and the michrondria so i can detox mycotoxins in the air of where I'm living?
You can definitely do something about the mould in your environment. I lived in London and know mould is common there as well. If you're renting, it's the landlord's responsibility to ensure the place is safe to live. I know this can be a battle, but there are still nice people and landlords out there who will understand and help :) Watch our video on how to clean mold in your home, that might be helpful. However, if the mold is in the structure of the house, the only remedy is to move. You cannot keep on detoxing your body for ever. It's hard, but it can be done. Good luck :)
Does your home country have insurance that covers functional medicine costs?
It doesn’t 😢 and barely any functional doctors - you can count them on one hand.
@@healthyholistichomes yeah man, im in a similar situation now, just trying to find a home I do not react to here in thailand. Considering building a shipping container home actually
I lived 8 months in a house with severe mold and when we discovered it an contractors opened the wall the insulation was moist, 34% of the insulation in our home was black from mold. I thought your story was going to be about severe exposure
That's beyond severe! How's your health? We're publishing more mold research & learnings soon though!
@whomsome can recall what tests they ran for the mold exposure
There are some more advanced testing options available depending on where you live. We refer our clients to different labs based on where they live :)
@@healthyholistichomes curious to know what tests to ask for because only having access to a GP/Primary they say they don't know how to test for this?
@whomesome I am in a house infested with mold and I can't leave!!! I'm cleaning the house room by room. Could you share the place where I can text my blood for mold please. I went to almost 10 doctors and all of tge told me mold is not dangerous
Black mould?
Yeap! Don’t know which species but the organic acids test is showing aspergillus
There's published scientific literature about this condition, I suggest do what it says.
I think it's great to inform yourself, but ultimately, the treatment should be tailored.
@@healthyholistichomes and evidenced based
This is what I call chunky block information. He tells us what to take like LDN, but he doesn't tell us what it is and what it does.
Can’t really go into the weeds with every video. Now you know LDN exists and you can google it & find the LDN Research Trust for example.
Also I’m not trying to say what you should take but share what I’m taking and has helped me.
Do a thorough parasite cleanse.
What's your thinking behind this?
That was part of my difficulties, and still is. MOLD shuts down your immune system, which causes you to not kill off the pathogens enter your body. Like that person was saying the bloating. Having to take so much HDL digestive enzymes to even get a burn? But our digestive system is not working. It cannot kill the unwanted invaders that enter a body. I’ve been dealing with mold, my whole life. I am a canary in a coal mine for sure! it’s impossible to escape MOLD it is everywhere! Yes, even in the desert I live in Arizona bad here. So the detox protocol will go on for the rest of my life and eat clean, detox nonstop.
Having a bias against anything that not natural is irrational, cancer is natural - does that make it good ??
I get what you’re saying but I can’t really agree with this since it’s an argument over semantics.
It’s kind of like “everything is a chemical” which yeah, cool, but that’s not what most people mean when they say they want to avoid chemicals.
The real issue when it comes to natural vs western biomedicine treatments is that natural treatments more often address root causes of issues whereas western biomedicine mostly manages symptoms.
Yes there are some functional drugs but that’s where the big pharma argument comes in where the access to those is systematically limited. Other times like I talk about in this video the functionality lies in offlabel use.
So I prefer ‘natural’ because I know there are always risks and side effects to molecules and often when you delve into them you realise these risks are disproportionate to just handling something with a natural healing modality. But I will still use them when there is a clear benefit and function.
I’ve been doing castor oil packs on my abdomen with essential oils. check out Queen of thrones information. I have battling health issues for nine years. Flu vaccine injury, and MOLD. I finally just started doing a castor oil protocol every night it worked! I’m totally against the medical field stuff. They don’t do crap! Well, I use some prescription drugs, but I get them from another country. That’s to kill parasites Febendazole
My 9 yo daughter has been dealing with a mystery illness for over a year now, 4 months of hospitalization & drs could never figure it out. I finally went to a functional med practitioner & he did some testing & found high amounts of mold in her system! I told her regular drs and they are skeptical! This has been such a nightmare because my daughter is in a wheelchair on the verge of death & the health care system failed us! She starts her mold detox today. I will start sharing her story to spread awareness
& it triggered her a autoimmune disease Crohns disease
The medical system dismissing or being skeptical of the possibility of mold causing health issues is sadly too common. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this and thank you for sharing to spread awareness. I really hope your daughter recovers fast. Was the mold present in your home? Let us know if you need advice on getting rid of it.
@@healthyholistichomes she most likely got sick when we lived in Hawaii for 3 years. We’re in Virginia now in a brand new home. I had a mold specialist come to check our place & they think she got mycotoxin illness from our time Hawaii. Hawaii has lots of black mold in many homes, businesses & schools. She tested positive for ochratoxon A & citrinin. Just focusing on detoxing her. Thank you 🙏🏼
What tests did your doctor order?
OATs & some very specific blood markers. Great plains also has some mold specific ones
