Mold Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins produced by Molds are very common and can cause significant health problems. Mycotoxins can cause severe immune system suppression, oxidative stress, cancer, chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment, neurological symptoms as well as stress on the liver and kidneys. I often see patients with advanced neurodegenerative diseases (Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS) or other severe neurological symptoms (cognitive impairment, debilitating fatigue, headaches, migraines, even seizure like activity) only to discover that mycotoxins are at the root of their symptoms. If you are have symptoms from mycotoxin exposure, it is very important to ensure your home/office/car is assessed by a Certified Environmental Inspector (CEI). You will not get the health gains you seek until you remove yourself from the exposure.
Mycotoxin Testing
If you have had water damage in your home, seen mold in your home/office, or have symptoms consistent with mold exposure, then order a Mycotoxin urine test kit for yourself and loved ones who share the Mold exposure risk: Mycotoxin testing order link. If you test positive for Mycotoxins, follow the treatment protocol below and retest for Mold Mycotoxins after 3 months on this protocol. If your follow up Mycotoxin results are equally or even more elevated, be sure to see a medical professional such as myself. This indicates ongoing mold exposure and/or increased mold detoxification as the “channels are opening” and releasing more stored mycotoxins. Additional Functional & Integrative blood draw bundles and test kits are available through your META Medical Lab Shop.
Mycotoxin Treatment Protocol
Order your Mycotoxin Treatment Protocol supplements through your META Medical Fullscript account. This is a fairly aggressive Mold Mycotoxin treatment protocol. Make sure that you are having daily bowel movements prior to beginning and while on this protocol. This helps ensure that your body removes all the mold mycotoxins that are being released and bound through your Mycotoxin detoxification protocol. If your previous symptoms get worse on this protocol (Herxheimer detox reaction), then began by cutting the dosing in half. You can even 1/4 the recommended dosing if necessary. Over time try to slowly move back to taking the recommended dosing if able. If you are highly sensitive to medications/supplements/chemicals, then begin this protocol at half the recommended dosing. Best to begin these supplements one at a time every 3 days in the following order:
- Ultra Binder
- Liposomal Glutathione
- Calcium D Glucarate
- NAC
- Argentyn 23 Nasal Spray
