Dr. Keith Berndtson: Now there’s a great need to do it. People often want to know how I got into this. And back in 2007 when I opened this practice, a patient walked in with this book called “Mold Warriors” by some guy named Ritchie Shoemaker. And you know, I finally got around opening it and reading a little bit, and began to feel like I was drinking from a fire hose because there’s so much information in it-a lot of path of physiology, but also getting into the patients’ stories and legal ramifications; and implications for agricultural practice, construction practice; remediation, inspection, and cleaning; and all that kind of stuff. So I wondered what I got myself into, but I’ve then subscribed to the newsletter from Surviving Mold, his website, which now gets about 3 million hits a month, and built up my confidence to start taking these patients on. Even at that point, I was kind of at the lower end of the learning curve. But what’s important to understand here is that this is not just about mold toxicity. Back in 1973, when there was a OPEC Embargo and there were long gasoline station lines and so forth, there was a premium on conserving energy, and so builders decided they would step up and they would start building homes that were pretty tightly sealed that you could trap heat and save money during the winter and all that.
Mike Mutzel: Sure.
Dr. Keith Berndtson: But creating conditions were moisture had nowhere to go. The buildings weren’t breathing the way they used to, and so we started to have more of what’s called “sick buildings syndrome,” which in the beginning wasn’t very well understood and kind of got laughed at the room and a lot of grand rounds and that sort of thing. But now we know much more that under certain recurrent moisture conditions or after water intrusion events¬-roofs leak, leaks under sinks, flooding of course, flooded basements-that molds can get a leg up. And all molds need to grow is moisture and cellulose; dust contains cellulose, so they pretty much have growing conditions almost anywhere where there’s been enough moisture. So it’s very important to discover these intrusions and remediate them quickly because within 48 hours, you’ve got mold growing. And not all molds are toxin producers, either; but the ones that are have genes that code for toxins that they use to defend themselves when they pick up stress signals, and that could be running into manmade chemicals in the dry wall or whatever. They make spores that carry toxins. When things dry up, the spores go dormant; but when the moisture returns, they become active, they could be spitting out toxins. And heavily water-damaged buildings, it’s not just mold toxins, there are other inflammogens-microbial, volatile organic compounds, manmade volatile organic compounds-they all enter the mix; there are fungal fragments, bacterial fragments. So anybody can get pretty sick in a building like that. But in what’s commonly referred to as “mold toxicity syndrome,” about one in four people carry these HLA genes; HLA means it’s on chromosome 6, and it has to do with the part of the immune system that presents antigens from one cell to another, processes those antigens first, and begins this process where you can acquire a coordinated cellular and antibody response against something like this should you come across it again.
This video is precise. I suffer from mold toxicity from sick building syndrome from my 17yr State job. I saw 18 specialist before stumbling across a environmental specialist. These doctors are few and far who kbow how to diagnose and treat this issue. I had over 30 symptoms and now have been diagnosed with NASH. A year later I am down to a handful of symptoms. Even though your insurance may not cover full treatment, I highly recommend this route. I had doctors laugh at me when I had tears in my eyes talking about Dr Shoemakers book Mold Warriors. I am a living testimony you can get better. It didn't happen over night and recovery will take time, discipline and determination.
Momma NotHavingIt
I am trying to get better after working at a national laboratory. They fired me over bringing this up. No insurance now and no lawyer wants to fight the federal government.
Who.is ur dr
how can the environmental specialist help ?
@@raulmoat2570 The only way to recover from mold exposure is to avoid further exposure and starve it out of you. My doctor started me on a natural diet , supplements , exercises and detox protocols. I also get LDA and LDI shots. I went from over 30 symptoms to just a handful so he has really improved my health.
@@findingmyhealing57 sorry I never received notification. I'm in Michigan my Dr is Gerald Natzke. He is an environmental and allergy specialist.
If only MDs were as competent as this one.
+Norsang Kelsang yeah no kidding. most of them will try to put you on an antidepressant or say it's menopause. i've been sick from living in mold for 7 years and even though i've been out of there for 2 years and i have tried everything out there and i'm still sick. it has ruined my life and no one will help you!
He is seriously the smartest doctor I have ever had. He knows a lot even about rare conditions he doesn't at all treat.
you're lucky you have someone like him! Drs here don't know shit!
Indeed, few doctors are as smart as this one. HOWEVER, you can search for similar people by looking up doctors that practice "integretive medicine" or "functional medicine". They tend to be the best MDs. You can also look for people that contribute to The Townsend Letter. A newsletter made by another very smart doctor, Dr. Jonathan Collin, MD. Smart people often work in clusters.
Doctors taught in Germany tend to be way ahead of others, too, in effective, yet often gentle treatments. And interestingly, doctors who've trained in Cuba. Strangely, Cuba trains some of the top doctors in the world. (and much has been written about this, so you can look it up if you wish)
just a prime example how oblivous some our to how the medical system fails us solely based on profit. ..
a patient cured is a patient lost.
It’s absolutely accurate. I literally just went through all of this and eventually bought an air purifier which finally helped. The constant fatigue in addition to anxiety closer to bedtime after I’ve been wiped out was absolutely horrible. Thank you for sharing this video. I really appreciate it. 👍🏽
This is so depressing. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you made this video, but the problem is so enormous when you know this information. It boils down to classism, the poor are forced to live at a lower standard and mold is a part of that standard.
It's not just the poor. There is a problem with new cars too. Just Google the kind of car you drive and mold and see what happens. Something is seriously wrong.
FlezzDurjis I've felt the same way, but when I've dug more into it, evidence points to the contrary. Ed McMahon and his dog died of this. Brittany Murphy and, several months later, her husband, died of toxic mold exposure. Famous, very rich people.
At this time, nowhere seems to be safe. Everyone really needs to get onboard and become aware to get rid of this problem. After all, houses are built and maintained by ordinary, everyday people. It's by educating and supporting them that they can properly service the people they serve. And, of course, it'll help them, too.
Improver ed was wealthy..it only affects the poor ( you said..)
classism
FlezzDurjis it does boil down to ignorance on mold
and greed on some land lords only a part of boil down is "class warfare communism classism"
understand communism is feudal lord total ownership
of everything
you ( loyal serf) own nothing
Its the way Mold, Fungi, Yeast's, Candida are not recognised by medical profession i have been in battle with Doctors trying to get help from health conditions.
I’m dealing with this right now. My doctor ran several labs and said we needed to test for mold ASAP. We were in shock the house we lived in has high levels of mold in the basement and master bedroom. I had been sick ever since we moved back to that bedroom but I had no idea why.
I have had nearly all of the symptoms of mold toxicity for years. My life has been so null and void. Not wanting to go anywhere or do anything- I am just so tired and fatigued. I feel sick all the time. Have been treated by numerous things by countless doctors. NONE have checked for mold toxicity. And to top it off I have been seeing funny looking things growing or forming in spots-mostly on the ceilings in my home which I guess is black mold. I own the place and have no insurance. this whole thing is so stressful..
GET OUT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN A ROOM IN SOMEONES HOUSE. I HAD TO MOVE OUT, LOST EVERYTHING, DON'T TAKE ANYTHING. IT'S HARD. I LOST EVERYTHING.
Rita Boyles, I know how you are feeling, we can are in the same boat , it's really hard.
Yes very STRESSFUL. THERE IN MY BODY! I watch them come out my kids say I'm DELUSIONAL
Understand. Been experiencing symptoms for at least 6 years. I have Medicare which does not cover testing & treatment.
@@keilana6 Yes. Since this issue is often the "secret" cause of so much disability and problems maintaining work, etc it would seem logical that it would be covered by Medicare. People that are determined disabled and can't work receive Medicare benefits. If those benefits allowed mold testing and treatment it's very possible that some of these people would then be able to return to the workforce. And believe me, I spent years undiagnosed. I worked through incredible pain and confusion. I was a hardworker and very talented. And yes, even after drawing the conclusion myself regarding places I had lived I would move only to find that the new place had hidden mold issues. I also have ME/CFS which seems to be somehow correlated/made worse. Deferred maintenance on apartments is rampant particularly during economic downturns. Then the rents skyrocket and those same buildings do cosmetic nonsense and ignore doing proper repairs. And the people living there have no clue why they are so sick and miserable. I think this is behind many domestic violence issues. And psychological presentations.
Thank You so much. Dr's have told me it's not environmental, that it's just anxiety or a panic attack. Well, diabetes and anxiety don't make you cough up blood and your blood pressure go from normal to 255. I have gone to the ER 9 times. I have fallen 10 times. Once, down a flight of stairs. The doctors want to treat one symptom at at time and I have a huge cluster of symptoms.
I've been through a similar experience and found no relief from the modern medical system, in fact most of the time they end up hurting me and causing more damage. I hope you find a system that works for you, I've found a organic paleo style diet helps a lot, avoiding grains except quinoa is huge and avoiding any dairy that's isn't raw. When my diet slips or I get exposed to lots of mold or stress I fall into almost a state of being bed ridden until my body can deal with the negative load. Also you have to get outside and do things you find positive, even if you don't feel like doing it force yourself to do something positive a few times a week for about a half hour. I really hope you find healing, this is a nightmare I wouldn't wish anyone experience.
+ZealousAce I've gone gluten free, dairy free, organic. But, I recently was cross contaminated. I'm already suffering from cerebellar ataxia.
+Rockabilly Chola keep up the clean diet From my experience it only helps. I've experienced similar symptoms, I feel strange walking around sometimes still, like I can't really control exactly where or how I move. Luckily this isn't all the time, but things got to the point where my vision was getting very disrupted and disturbed and I couldn't drive for a few weeks at a time. I had to get away from the mold and I moved to Colorado after being in a water damaged home with a active visible mold colony for 6 years and tons of my symptoms disappeared, but I didn't get better I just had some things stop and gained back some energy. I'm hoping to see a specialist soon who can hopefully clear my body of the toxins and get me back into the world completely, I'm so sick of not having a proper life and feeling like death all the time. Have you been able to leave the place you think has the mold you got sick from?
+ZealousAce I've been out of the mold since February 4th. I was put in the hospital a couple of weeks ago for cerebellar ataxia. . They said good news it's not stroke. I said I know it's not a stroke, it's the mold. Did some research and decided to put ice packs on my head, the ataxia went away. Mold hates cold! I herxed like crazy after the ice packs though. I'm Betty Sparks on facebook.
You need to be tested for TB. That was one of the first things my doctor check me for was TB if you go anywhere in your body and even though mine turned out okay I use my friends pmf machine tonight and it kept coming up with TB pee sometimes you test aren't sensitive enough. I'm sure you know to stay away from The Usual Suspects all grains gluten dairy if you still had pain you might have to wait not have oxalates or might not be able to have lectins. Maybe some almond milk for extra magnesium to help with some pain. Epstein-Barr is another one that does weird stuff a lot of people don't have until they realize it I had it for years chronically and just found out and then my neurologist told me he knew the whole entire time I hate him. He never even told me that until after I told him I tested for it it's because he wanted to make that $2,000 every 3 months for the Botox shots in my head that jerk !!!!
So interesting. I e had basically every ugly symptom there is associated with mold. I've been struck down twice. One from my home which had a leaky roof and it was eventually blown off by hurricane Irma and the mold grew by the day I stayed in my home for six months until habitat for humanity came in and remediated and restored my home. Then recently been feeling shitty for several months come to find out I discovered massive mold growth under pallets in my workspace. It was rampant and thick I eventually ended up with pneumonia and then terminated after reporting the issue and other violations. I had pneumonia for several weeks B4 I got diagnosed. Mold illness is an awful thing. It's a month since I've been terminated between recovering from pneumonia and being out of the toxic environment I'm feeling better. Mold is the devil in disguise.
It's in our cars. Everyone talks about homes and businesses but my 2 year old car has an insane mold problem and the car manufacturers know. Just Google mold and your type of car. I've been so sick and only just discovered why.
I have every single symtom that mold gives you. I'm starting to get really sensitive to any sprays or chemicals whatnot if a blanket is washed and dried I can taste the soap that it was washed in my mouth like someone poured it into my mouth when I lay in my bed or if I walk into a room I can taste people's perfume or cologne in my mouth when I shower I can taste the shampoo or soap I use even after I wash everything off really good. The worst things are this new symptoms getting really dizzy and I'm getting dehydrated but keep drinking. Losing weight. headaches and inflammation are the worst. Pain on the left side of my head my left leg hurts so bad and gets swollen and heavy, my eyes hurt all the time, left ear ringing so loud now my right one is too I have a lesion in my throat and I have a hole in my right ear drum swollen lymph nodes on both sides of my neck now it use to only be on my right neck now both sides. I am crying every single day so depressed I have chest pain and I get hot and cold spells. I don't know what to do. No one else in our house is sick like me(mom,sister) but the basement floods and it's winter and it's getting worse now in winter my symptoms I don't know what to do I can't work I have no money and were on HUD. any advice? I don't know how to move out=( my shepherd is kind of sick too but thankfully not as bad. I think I have Lyme disease too and moving into this house has kicked it into active gear! It is horrible I feel like I'm gonna die here! =( doctors won't do anything =( can regular doctors test me for the markers he mentions ? What kind of test would I ask for? HLA genetics beta something? How do I keep myself from dying from this?
Try aperonomics. They're expensive but will find strains of anything that is out of place in your body including, molds, parasites, virus, ect...
They use Dna sequencing to find.
Buy an inffrared bulb , its cheap and it will really help , but the first days y will feel little bad while detoxing , but firstfull you have to change the place you live in ,
Yeah my VA DERMATOLOGIST said I need to see mental health because he thinks I am self mutilating…… I went to him with a rash that won't heal and I even told him I have black mold that I just found in my AC evaporator coils. I have low vit D, high B12, high WBC, low MPV, low lymphocytes count, high glucose, high Anion Gap..... ok that was blood! Now urine……… trace leukocyte estterase, trace squamous epithelial cell, rare urine bacteria, trace urine mucus. I also have migraines, fatigue,…………… well I will say 85% of his mentioned symptoms. So all I get it recommends mental health. The mental health thing is because I was (am) grieving the loss over my mother last summer. I went through the"normal" grieving cycle and now I am in a ok place! They won't listen and I asked them for a mycotoxins panel but the VA does not do that test in their lab I WAS TOLD! I told him that dealing with some DOCTORS IS WHAT MAY GET ME TO NEED SOME MENTAL HEALTH
Stand firm, stay strong and stay mentally open for the solution. You got this.
I hope with recent laws if you havent already, hope you can get better help
Sorry about the lost of your mother I hope you find relief with the mold problem.
DebraLynnP ,I just spent 3 days in a torture chamber , called a hospital
Please please please look into dr. Jill Carnahan! She's very very knowledgeable on mold and how to treat the symptoms!
Mike, I'm grateful to you for being ahead of the curve on emerging health topics. We met at SHEICON in Denver a couple years back. This one is much needed for me at this time. Appreciate the great work!
I’m a truck driver with a truck full of mold. I’ve been suffering for 5 months. Thnx, for the info! CJ
And I noticed that my mood has changed,I'm more fatigued ,and down. I don't feel happy I just feel down all the time, but if I'm outside or at somebody's house I'm fine, but when I get back home I'm down again, so something is lurking in here because it smells like a toxic ,I have to step outside in the morning time and at night time. When it rains,or moisture is on the roof, the smell is overpowering.
I know exactly how you feel because I go through the same thing everyday for two years straight nobody wants to fix nothing but they want the rent doctors act like they can't find nothing I'm too diabetic I'll take insulin and all the rest of the stuff asthmatic I have inhalers difficulty breathing I trouble I mean I have it all and I'm only 69 I'll be lucky if I can make it to 70
This is dire. I fit the picture of mold toxicity so bad. Am 24 years old and have chronic infammatory symptoms all over my body. I can not function I can not work, I'm fucking useless and desperate.
I have done so many things to detoxify my body over the past years and nothing has worked. 24 liver flushes, daily coffee enemas for a year, now doing a parasite cleanse, kidney cleansing, clean diet.
What he was saying about having these genes that make it hard for you to clear biotoxins is what caught my attention the most. Because it's astounding how much toxicity I seem to generate within 24 hours, so much that it can not even be cleared by doing daily coffee enemas. There is MUCH more toxicity than the CE clears in fact. Based on my symptoms.
This is all very nicely explained and all but the practical part remains a big issue. I live in europe, all the medical doctors are worthless and have categorized me in the mental health issue department because they can not detect anything worrysome. Even though I am sick as hell with chronic symptoms. I have done exstensive conventional bloodtests, allergy testing ( and have a mold allergy by the way but apparently the fool specialist didn't feel like elaborating on that).
So WHERE in the world do I find a doctor that can help me with this? I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on onine testing and Dr Shoemakers protocols. Man he might be helping a lot of people but I checked out his website and he charges money for EVERYTHING. How are people that are living overseas and too sick to work able to pay for all this when it's not covered by insurance?
And that's just the beginning of it. I'm not even talking about moving house,etc. Wow this is a fucking mess. I have done so much research in such a short time, total information overload and now all the hassle that comes with planning out how to get to the bottom of this mold toxicity issue...
Dr.. Berndston is my doctor. If you have insurance, the meds should be covered if you have mold toxicity like me. I don't know what my meds would be without, but it isn't like there is strictly one med I had to take... Also the natural med I was on in an in-between stage for a while was affordable (I am disabled). I lost most of my inflammation finally getting rid of my Lyme and Bartonella (a harder task for me) and hopefully the last 10-15lbs will go when I finish up mold treatment soon! With the first three months my mold toxicity decreased by 50%. I had not lived with the mold in many years, though, which made it easier. If you can't see Dr. Berndston in-person there are natural things that are strong you can buy even on amazon (that's what I did). But it depends on if that is your real problem, the severity, etc. This doctor is near Chicago.
Bridgett Mahoney Natural things to bind mycotoxins? Like Charcoal? Oh I'm sure the protocol meds would be no issue IF any of these CRIMINAL medical doctors would even consider testing me for mold and reckognizing it as a problem in the first place. You NEED a mold doctor or they probably won't even see it as an issue even if the tests come back positive. I have no idea if mold is really my issue though but I am certain that if I have ever been exposed to mold biotoxins (which is very likely) that it is definitely causing post inflammatory symptoms because I already have a confirmed mold allergy.
I hope you will feel better soon!
Anthony Ocran any luck on some help? im in the same boat as you but i have severe cognitive issues from it
Anthony Ocran Choleyestrine however you spell it is the only thing that will get the mold toxins out bro, any doctor will prescribe it, I'm on it now
You should have your car checked for mold. In a lot of new and older models the roof drain tubes can get blocked and leak water into your car. Even a little can start a bad problem. I just discovered it in my new Toyota. Check your car. Now I know why I've been so ill. I haven't been in any car in a month and feel so much better.
I am going through this now !!!! 100% can't find anyone to help me !!! Sometimes I sleep for 3 days an still am so tired !!! Feel like I am dieing and its my house but no one will listen!!!!
5 months later .. any update?
I have all the symptoms and took pictures of mold that has been in my apartment for 2 years. Killed my purebred Persian cat and my tabby began sneezing, got her out...both indoor cats only. Very healthy, but I've had respiratory problems as a vegan, migraine headaches, severe chronic fatigue, severe inflammatory problems, sinus drainage, stuffiness, using nose and breathing meds. I was a vegetarian 30 yrs, a vegan 2 years. Before my 2 years w/ visible mold, lived in older places. My granddaughter had to go to her moms, asthma was so bad, now disabled at 17 years old. My joints ache, had to pay someone to help with duties, but I soldier through as you call it. Mold cleaned up but still labored breathing. Wearing a mask. State the same sentence twice, brain fog. Most tenants have the same sores on their bodies as me. Doctor treating w/ antibiotics & anti fungal meds. Sores gone in one day. Have air conditioner on. Get hot & cold. Bed infected, no place to sleep. Hurts. I go back Tues

When did the feeling go away how long did it take please respond soon as possible
Look inside your air conditioner with a bright LED flashlight. black mold loves growing inside air conditioners
Barbara Mowrey do you ever find any relief ?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! YOU ARE AMAZING FOR FIGHTING FOR THIS CAUSE ❤
The best interview I've seen on mold so far. KU just started me on Cholestyrime mold detox last week
Are you cured now ?
Interesting video, thanks! We're constantly surprised at how seriously affected some of our customers are to mold exposure. Very satisfying when we can make a difference to someone's life just by removing mold!!
Mold toxins ruined 😡 my life . I’ve lost numerous years of my life. I finally know the cause of all my failures.
I'm so sorry for your situation 😞 It's totally ruined my life too!
It is ruining mine as well. I not my doctors couldn't figure out why I was always having sinus and several other infections. My apartment complex is consumed by mold. I don't know what to do.
What happens if it's a brand new building and ready for new people to moving and it burns from the 6 floor down to the fourth floor fire departments call in to put the fire out.but instead of you tearing the building down from the ground floor and rebuild it back up to the sixth floor you don't you just tell down the burnt pot and build it back up. now don't forget all that water to use to put the fire out you didn't care the building down to the ground floor you just rebuild it from the fourth floor up where is all the water going and you already know there's no going to be in the building. You suspect you have mold in your new apartment you get a I smell not only that you hear water dripping in the walls when you're washing dishes you are a specially when you run the water to rinse your dishes. You have central air and heat and when the
A/C is on it's it's dripping water you let the rent office know about it and they do nothing about it then what's next.
Leave. I’ve been dealing with mold illness for years. Believe me, it is not a quick fix nor is it easy to find safe housing.
What a great video! Full of so much helpful info!
Yes it is!!!
you did a great job as far asking good question ......specially, the last question ...wonderful interview skills
Thanks so much for this great interview.
you are welcome Lisa Petrison !
the room i've ended up in has ERMI of 17.4 and hertsmi 2 of 18, I'm guessing this is the best room in the house because I became hypersensitive to the upstairs bedrooms over a short time frame, and I can sense mold in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, the garage has made me feel ill since 2016 and my summer house ( wooden shack thing ) since 2018. Going to live in a tent in the garden if I can manage it, good luck trying to get any help for this problem from the NHS in the UK or other branches of the government. This was a pretty good description of CIRS by the book but you could have talked more about general symptoms people experience that are indicative of exposure to high levels of mold that can potentially lead to CIRS.
Me experiencing this since 2018 had bells palsy since 2007 so that's probably what lowered my immune system to mold i m living in mold again been exposed to this since 2018, 2019,2020 2021 ,2022 ,2023 haven't had any relief.. all the symptoms I have ...😮
Excellent information. Must listen over and over until you understand.
Where I live at I started to smell like a gas and my family said I was crazy but because I spent more time in my home and have good smell I can distinguish smells easily I know my home smells different it still does.The thing is I got sick and not just me my sister got the same symptoms and the doctors said it was just "anxiety" and now I have to deal with it.Not only that there was a time I smelled it all over the city.They link everything to either anxiety or depression now a days.Its a bad smell like something more than rotten like gas and it gets in your mouth and everything you eat tastes like that too and the only thing that gets rid of it is pinesol thats the only thing that makes it better for me to breathe.My fam is always out so they don't hav to deal with the smell.I'm not saying it can be mold but its an intense smell like it drowns you and makes it hard to breathe.I don't know if it can also be the fumigation because they also fumigate around the building and plants like lately i smell it everywhere and then they say its orderless it isn't orderless I can smell it still.I hate when they fumigate.
It’s likely the mould is now in your sinus cavities ...had similar smells here , did have a mouldy area due to water damage ...it’s fixed but I’m not ...chronic sinus now and yep that smell although not always obviously present but when it is...it goes where I do .
Have been to see him with a relative!!!! Very scary, but at the same time exciting!
Dr., you are a wonderful caring healer; to take on this stealthly, hidden, affection. I will be calling your med center for info on beginning testing and treatment. I have hope that i will see a reversal of this ailment. I was diagnosed with fibro 20 years ago. Additional diagnoses for other aliments since. I have every symptom on the list; plus 2 not listed. I think i see the light at the end of the tunnel ahead. I hope God continues to send us healers like yourself and the handful doctors following same protocol. Thank you again.
Thanks so much for sharing this video!
You are welcome, Andrea Fabry
Where do I start in finding a MD who knows about mold in Charlotte, NC? I HAVE every single 'symptom' he spoke about and have been sick off & on for 3 yrs. My apt HAS major water damage that my slumlord says does NOT exist. I have pix and am making more from here on. I don't know where to START??
+Holly Jaye get someone to come in and do an air test of your apartment. write a letter to you landlord for a three day time limit to repair. if he doesn't and you have results that there is mold (and i'm sure there is) find yourself a personal injury lawyer. if you can get a blood test to show you have mycotoxins in your blood that is helpful too. don't stay in there holly. you will get so sick and it can cause brain damage and you will never be the same. i was exposed for 7 years. i have lung damage and i know i have brain damage and i'm exhausted all the time and i was an athlete when i moved into that place. search all you can online. get the book "the war within" , you can get it on amazon. it's got a lot of good information. but get the hell out of there! regular mds know nothing about mold and they will just try to put you on a steroid and antifungal. and that is the worst thing to do. good luck to you. please, please get out though. the longer you stay, the worse you will get and the more damage will be done. it can kill you! it killed 2 of my cats and almost killed me.
I truly don't care any more.
+Holly Jaye Don't ever clean mold that bad. Ever...
if you really didn't care you wouldn't still be commenting. mold isn't just seen. if you have mold you are breathing it !! and you can't "clean" mold. mold has to be removed. if it's in the walls, the walls need to be removed and replaced. my landlord was a slumlord too. if you have a district health where you live, contact them, if you don't contact housing, especially if you are on section 8. looking for a dr that is knowledgeable is hard. search online in your area, make calls. it's hard work. i'm still sick and i've been out of my previous apartment for 2 years, i have done all the detox stuff. i'm still sick. this stuff can eat your brain, change your dna and cause cancers. if you don't care then make sure that when you die, you leave instruction for the autopsy to look for mold and then have your family ot whoever you specify to sue your landlord. you can't be mold infested unless you are exposed to it. work or home. or go to the media. they love stories like this and maybe then your lazy ass landlord will do something. they can NOT kick you out because they have not addressed things that they are responsible and are making you sick.
bye
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?
We are in a moldy rental and I've had laryngitis for four weeks. I have so much trouble getting enough air and it's scary. The rental management company said they'll spray the mold and replace the sheetrock but that won't correct the problem. The owner said they're going to have the rental company will have to do a full remediation and they'll pay for it but I think it's a way to move me and my boyfriend out, they replace the sheetrock and move someone what in. I hope not because I don't wish this on anyone else plus I have nowhere else to go. It's a horrible situation.
❤ Understand. My bathroom in an apartment house was remediated for mold a year ago. I continue to have a myriad of symptoms from time to time with decrease in cognitive function ongoing. Wish medical care was more wholistic. Not every medical condition is corrected with a pill.
regular doctors won't even deal with me and I just found the mold in my home. They send me to specialists who don't know what's wrong either
Caira Beth you should go see a good naturopath doctor.
angela offer not if docs dont care hon
Incredible wealth of information - great video! Thank you!
Can you suffer with vertigo? I lived in a home that was riddled with mold and develop POTS symptom and neurological symptoms the worst is the dizziness and vertigo heavy head feeling it’s been months since I moved and I’m still dealing with issues
I’m currently dealing with the same symptoms and wondering the same.
Check your electrolytes
My apartment was remediated a year ago & I continue with a variety of symptoms.
My only thing that I don’t seem to understand is why when I go out, I don’t feel better. If it was in my house, I went to New York, I was gone for about 35 hours. I felt terrible most of the time.
I did blood tests for mold, 11/14 I was flagged as high. So I know I have some sort of mold issue-I just hope that’s ALL that’s causing this. I’ve spend thousands to track this down and now hundreds more doing a anti fungal protocol. It’s been 2 weeks now and I still feel terrible...ugh. I hope it just takes more time.
It’s in your body. You will not fully heal just by leaving. That is beyond false unless you are not susceptible.
I just said that when it's dry I don't smell anything but soon as the moisture and rain comes, that's when they smell starts seeping into my apartment
Amazing information!! Thank you for this video!
amazing video! thanks for sharing this great information!!!
Great video. I can't move out so I have tried to get rid of the mold using White vinegar....felt better after that but today I made a mistake by wearing a pair of shoes I haven't worn in a while and the burning skin and tingling sensation came back including sneezing and chest congestion. Do I need to get rid of all my staff?...or how can I rid them of the mold?
Wonder what the HLA genes are he is talking about-12 of them. I have my gene information and now I’m curious. Chronic exhaustion for over 6 years now no answers from doctors “you’re fine” I do emotional, mental and all that therapies...clean diet.
Great question! We addressed this in the show notes: highintensityhealth.com (just search Dr. Keith)
Dr. Berndtson, you are amazing! Thank you!!
when I'm at my daughter's house I'm fine I don't need my breathing machine my eyes don't burn I can go to sleep I'm not suffering from insomnia when I'm at her house I don't have to keep taking medication to go to sleep so what that tells you something ain't right 💀
what would you do if docs found enviromental toxins in lung xray? also im disabled i cant clean like shud and got bedrooms thts got 30 yr old carpets. i put sheets down cause cudn figure out y my dog was getting bumps. since than she quit. but im sick. and fractured my spine n hip. idk what to do. any pulmonary doc didn give me anything but the thing is when guy redone my bathroom he took the old sheetwood and slammed in my livingroom. im on oxygen at night caz copd. doesnt tht produce moisture in lungs? im blending a huge picture almost everyday of all kinds of fruits or vegtables but i hate thinking now i got nodulars in my lungs caz of this. im so dead. i got almostvall these symptoms but on 741 a month i cnt afford no inspector. plus got sle lupus
teresa chase hope you are okay.
What about where I leave. My building was built in 1960, there were leak under sinck(there were mold over there), the roof leak.. There is many intrusion signs on the wall but we don't find any mold..we looked with camera...
These HLA genes, are they similar to SNPs that are scanned by 23andme? Could I get it checked out because I already sent my DNA in to them.
tdreamgmail that is a great question!
Thank you for this, very informative.
It is unfortunate, this doctor moved his practice to NC and then subsequently stopped practicing for because of his own personal health reasons.
I took pictures to my doctor of the hairy mold coming out of the wall after my Persian cat died, along w/ my symptoms and he gave a script to my Mngr saying, I am treating Barbara for mold., now, if enough Harvard doctors , any doctor would do this, we might solve this problem. They moved me; I'm a vegan and that w/ God first, are healing me. I get pinched w/ a spore now & then, & washed my clothing in white distilled vinegar along w/ hard furnishings, getting rid of soft furnishings, going citric in the morning, probiotics at night cause acid eats good bacteria even probiotics so I use Braggs vinegar, 1 t, w/ lemon 1/2 & I small piece of grated ginger root.in good spring, from our spring, water. I worked as a paralegal, endorsed by my state for senate 2010, and couldn't read a document, then after moved, I went through 500 documents, sorting them. Keeps trying to get me but I start again if that happens. And no sugar, st crave, mold cravings & Candida or thrush from antibiotics.
Wow
I've been struggling to breath for the past 3 months and just discovered the coils in my central air are covered with black mold.
Thanks, great interview!
PLEASE HELP ! I NEED HELP ! i have a serious problem. please can someone help me or tell me what to do ??
i was living in a flat. i think there was something on the carpet. some mites or some sort of plague or something. i dont know exactly what it was.
i often had a lot of my belongings laid on the carpet, like newspapers, books, some clothes, mobile phones etc. the carpet was almost half covered by these things. i then went away for one year and left someone to look after the flat, but he moved out after 1 month. so the flat was empty for almost a year.
when i returned back there were cobwebs every where, and carpet had lots of dirt and dust on it, some biscuit crumbs and some foodstuff etc. as i walked around the room my body started itching. maybe carpet mites ? i dont know. i looked around to see if there was any mould anywhere, but there wasnt. after a few days i started getting bubbles on my skin, brown bubbles. and to my shock and horror i started getting bubbles in my eyes !! they grew big inside the eye and i could have easily busted them and possibly ruined my eyes, but luckily i didnt.
i moved out of the flat soon after and put all my belongings into storage which i had to pay for. i rented just 1 room temporarily for a few months. everything was fine. i then got my own flat. first two weeks i was there without my belongings. everything was fine. i then started getting my belongings out from storage and into my new flat.
to my shock and horror everytime i touched any of my belongings i felt itchy and wanting to scratch my skin. the itchiness was not normal. it was sharp 'stings' that were very very painful and as if trying to go right through my skin. the more belongings i got out from storage and into my flat the worst it got. the whole flat then started looking 'brown' and goey as if there was dust everywhere, and whatever was in the air that transferred from my belongings, hurt my skin immensely. the walls started looking very dusty and brown. everytime i breathed, i felt stingy stuff going inside me. i started getting the brown bubbles on my skin again, and some parts of my skin started to peel off and bleed !!! its like living in hell.
i dont know what to do. i went to my doctor but she said it could just be carpet mites. the doctor says to keep things clean.
but whatever it is, they have literally gone everywhere. they are on all my important papers as well. i mean how am i going to get rid of them from my paperwork, such as my school and university certificates, important documents. i tried to clean my documents using paper towels but all this does is smudge the bacteria or mite or whatever it is, and makes my documents look dirty and brown. it doesnt get rid of whatever it is. once i have cleaned my documents if i touch them, i still get the stings and scratchiness. they are obviously still on the documents and not gone away. i cant obviously wash the documents. so how do i get rid of them ?? with clothes , i can wash them and try and get rid of the problem, but with documents i cant do this. every single one of my documents, books, paperwork has been infected. please help, i dont know what to do ?????!!
the problem now is everything else in my flat, i.e. the newer clean stuff is now being infeccted as well, and they are now beginning to look brown and feel itchy and stingy.
whatever it is, seems to be airborne as well, and spreading everywhere. if i take my shirt of in the flat, within minutes i start scratching and my body looks and feels brown and gooey.
it seems that even if i clean everything, even if there is a small bit of it left somewhere , it spreads very fast to everything else. and within a few minutes everything becomes infected again. this thing seems to spread and multiply quickly. it is A VERY DANGEROUS THING, AND I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AND SAVE MY LIFE AS I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ???? i have tried using sprays, but they havent helped. as some of the stuff still stays and then spreads quickly again. Iam beginning to wonder if it is some sort of plague ?
THANK YOU.
Id try windex with ammonia d it kills everything or rubbinh alcohol. My first thought bed bugs. Id just put every thing in plastic bags tie tight and toss in dumpster.... You have to get rid of every thing...
@@valeriem4022
what is windex and where would i get that from ? is that a spray ?
i dont think it is bed bugs. it is an organism that sticks to dust and sand particles. iam now thinking it is a combination of killer dist mites, and some type of bacteria from plague ? that causes my skin to peel off. i cant get rid of the tiny sand particles that are everywhere now within my flat and belongings. they stick to the sand. i know its sand because i washed my phone case that was causing me the skin irritation, i put it in the sink. after several washes, i let it dry. and i can clearly see the sand particles gathered around the edges. i touched it and my skin started to scratch and hurt again.
in what way will rubbing alcohol spray help to get rid of this ? and surely it cant destroy the sand particles, i have tried air purifiers but they could not get rid of these particles, since air purifiers only clear the air and not suck particles from tangible things.
iam still struggling with this huge problem.
@@raulmoat2570 holly crap... What about a type of mold??? I'm at a loss now... Idk what that is.. I kmow bed bugs leave sand like crumbs and brown spots on walls...
@@raulmoat2570 windex is a glass cleaner spray... It has to have ammonia d in it to work
@@raulmoat2570 what about moths?? Does it eat holes in cloths?
How do I get into one of these doctors live in Alberta Canada.
Thank you for posting this!!
Bright guy but please explain this so that people who are dealing with brain inflammation can understand this. Just the most simple way. I've been sick ever since moving back into my home that my tenant destroyed by nailing in nails into my roof. Mold was all over the ceiling and my dad sprayed it with bleach and insisted that the mold wasn't behind the ceiling. Evicting that tenant and her destroying my home, was the stressor that set the sickness off. I used to have a great life and ran 10 miles each day. Now, when I go to my house, I'll feel good the first day or two but then my throat either closes up or if I eat food, it stays stuck in my throat and I get so weak and poisoned feeling that I can barely move. My dad, who made me rent to the Tenant, insists that it's not from mold and says that every place has mold in that this is a big scam. He's trying to talk my into going to Mayo Clinic but they don't usually deal with or know anything about treating mold. I definitely believe mold makes people sick. I'm now trying to get better by myself but when your brain isn't working right, it's really hard to understand well enough to get yourself better. My memory is scaring me. Could you do a video that's super simple so that people who are not doing well can understand?
Agree. My cognitive abilities have noticeably decreased in the last few years. Something not working right.
Got it at the end of the interview
thanks
Hello!! If you see this, please message me as soon as you can. I have sent this doctor an email many times as well as on his website. Is he still practicing? Do you have any advice for how to reach him? Thank you.
Years ago I lived in an apartment complex that's such a severe mold problem and some of the apartments that they actually had one while was loaded with mushrooms and they said it happened to a lot of the apartments there. Who is the weirdest thing I've never seen anything like it
Gross!
Where can you get tested and what tests do they do for this.
Dr. Berndston tested me through Quest. Typical blood test. Cheap.
Bridgett Mahoney. how much is it please. im so sick n live on 741 a month
Ya I asked an allergist and she said thats all bull. Dr.s in upstate NY suck.
@@bridgettmahoney1390 what kind of blood test.?
@@Jrock32464 go to another doctor who understands and believe in all this bull like she said to you most of the doctors don't even know how to test you for mold exposure .
That little cough tho....
Great interview thank you 🙏
So interesting....explains so much!
Some people won't admit to all the symptoms as they might be embarrassed about certain things. My dads a hoarder he would not admit to the doctor this let alone a number of symptoms.
Recently been able to get in his house and its damp, mold in places and he aint lit the fire in like 5 years. Also mold spots in places.
He has diabetes also so don't know what impact this could have as well as mold or mold toxins
Thank you for this.
Great work Dr B! Rock On Keith! ThankYou for Everything & a Bright Future! Aloha & BRAVO In North Carolina, Great Changes! A+++++ On This & Your Letter to Patients & Etc! Best to All of You, Dan Urban Thefan.
Excellent information but I wish I knew how to facilitate recovery in NC. I was getting close to seeing a Dr. for testing for Alzheimers.
What are you saying
Is it the Dr who is treating you are you thanking this Dr
What NC got to do with this
Ok great, but how do we heal
I just found out I have this and I’ve been sick for a good twelve years.
Has anyone tried using mimosa pudica.?
I have it and my doctor is using anti fungal meds, antibiotics, & I went to the health food store and purchased probiotics, and Citricidal pills to get the mold out of my system, plus I'm vegan. I have pics of the mold & was breathing it in every night for nearly 2 years until I moved my mattress topper, there it was, completely covered leaning against the wall. Mold on the wall as well. Mngment has cleaned it, mold in my toilet, put a substance in the tank. My mattress is aerospace type with a zip around cover, thank God. Bleach & distilled vinegar. Mngment is going to test further. I purchased an air mattress, aero bed on QVC that is micro bacterial anti mold now in my living room. I'm very weak. Tonight will get to sleep. It's been weeks since it killed my Persian. I called state health & CDC who said everyone has it. My joints, mold sores on my arms, lips swollen, couldn't breathe. They will professionally clean the carpet. I hired a housekeeper to help me. This is costing me.
Barbara Mowrey. im disabled n cnt afford. and going thru so much
Barbara Mowrey I lost my cat also. It was heartbreaking. This was before I understood the mold issue.
@@paul2019monte Recently been wondering if that has something to do with personality change in cat several years ago. Thought it was just affecting me.
@@keilana6 sadly I had a cat that also develop diabetes which is not unusual in another itself but it appeared to be in response to the place I was living. If you think about it there inside the home all the time and close to the floor. Curious how your cat's personality changed?
Just because they say everyone has it doesn't mean that it affects everyone the same. And I personally believe that after numerous exposures including my childhood home that I had literally built up a huge mold presence in my body. I have been detoxing for a long time. But I know I am still more reactive. It did help me to get a stand-alone Honeywell air purifier and stood it next to my bed where the Clean Air goes over me. I wish I had known about that previously too. The one I got was about $200 @ Home Depot. It hurt to spend the money but now I'm glad that I did. I run it 24/7. It actually cleans my whole home. I do sometimes move it to another place if I sense a problem. Also, cut down on sugars and carbs. When I had the mold bad I craved them like crazy. Now I know it was because the mold in my body likes to eat that stuff and thrives on it.
How does the Dr feel about Low Dose Antigen therapy?
I just moved into a flat and i didn't realise that has mold till when i moved and i can sleep and i vomited becuse of it. Any help?
Where is this doctor located please ???? Or is any so knowable like him in jersey or New York area ?
I know it's mold in my apartment because I have real bad headaches every morning but the manager and maintenance keep telling me it's not mold. I have real bad headaches my eyes burn my nose burn I'm using my asthma machine my asthma spray more frequently I have never had to use my asthma machine as much as I'm using it now ,since 2015 .I have to wear a mask that don't work ,I don't have the money to move and they know that ,and my next move is I'm going to have to call somebody and I don't have the money for that so I'm going to have to call the health department to keep telling me it's all in my head, you write it is cuz I have headaches.
Does he say "cerumen" at 35:08?
You can get exposed to mold by raking leaves too specially if you are bagging leaves- leafs
You are so right
Mold illness is insidious and it’s extremely hard to find safe housing. Financially it’s sucks you dry.
The ERMI score is not exactly feasible , if you are above 2 that DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANNOT GET BETTER. The HERTSMI2 gives a much better picture of the top 5 mycotoxins producing molds that ignite CIRS. Most places will not pass an ERMI Test, typically CIRS is ignited in a 16+ environment on HERTSMI2.
thanks for sharing..
Thanks for tuning in, lotusillusion
I'm desperate! Been sick for about a decade. Found out last year, it's from high levels of toxic mold and heavy metals. Moved n been detoxing almost a year and still sick! Idk how much longer I can live like this! All this hacking I do is socially unacceptable and it has ruined my life!!
Please help me before I have no choice but to give up....
Can you help me!?! I'm desperate 😪
Why did it fade out and talk about something else when discussing quarum sensing? 25:26
Just had flooding in the carpet for 3 days without knowledge. When I opened up the closet I got sick! White stuff formed on my throat and inflammation and tonsil stones. No strep and no thrush. Dismissed. Mold air test came up negative.
Could you get kidney stones
Whats with the edit at 25:35 I wonder.
Can we discuss the TOXIC MOLD in the HVAC of new TOYOTA'S and the Class Action Lawsuit ???
..
Where is this doctor located
Get used to it, or move into outter space cause basically the entire planet with few exceptions are free from mold, or fungi o spores
great, I live in the tropics. Try and avoid mould.
Baby mould is spell MOLD
What’s this doctors name?
can mold toxicity lead to noxious body odor?
CupcakeExplosion great question
CupcakeExplosion i dont know about specifically "mold toxicity " but an internal fungal infection will cause fatigue, bad body odor and a long list of other terrible things.( mold is fungus )
@@chandler86jc I am beginning to wonder if imaginary odors is part of symptoms.
Anything to help with chronic inflammation , insomnia , muscle spasms my brain to my feet get lit up like a Christmas tree every day
Lord you to
Is it just me or is everybody talking about mold but not talking about where to go names of the Dr
What did you take to get well can anybody help and stop talking about symptoms we got symptoms can we talk about the solutions with out telling a story just short and simple who help you and where at or what medicine you're taking
Look up on CZcams “nutrition with Judy “ “Dr Shoemaker CIRS Protocol”
Chronic inflammation response syndrome
I believe I have mold toxicity. Question: should I avoid large amounts of fruit? I'm a practicing vegan, and this is a very important issue for me.
Hello +Casey Cantor,
I would strive to eat more vegetables. Fruits are healthy, yes, but vegetables will be better for you. Lower glycemic and higher in phytonutrients.
where is he located
Hi +Jolie Espinoza,
Dr. Berndtson is located in the Northern Chicago suburbs (Park Ridge, IL). He's right by the Whole Foods there.
Here is his site: parkridgemultimed.com/

I need to get the shots for this and not just pills.
What shots
The reason I’m watching this video is because I myself have been feeling funny on my breeding , when I breed it feels irritated and cough often, is that a sign of mold exposure?
This is why jews call gentiles unclean. We are. And we dont even know it.
Im in a lull right now after spring cleaning and moving things around and not laundering stuff properly. I feel like a lost a few pounds and Im shedding yeast. Im terrified of showering in a mildewy bathroom with a spore laden towel.
Its stressful af because Im the 1 of the 4 in the house with skin symptoms and sensitivity. Being told your crazy aint fun and just makes everything worse.
