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
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
@@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.

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

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.
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 )
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
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
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.
@@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 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
@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. 😓
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
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
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
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.
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 UA-cam
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 :(

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.
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.
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

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.
