Mold Toxicity

There are specific binders to help the body remove specific mold types.  Not all are created equal and there is no one binder to remove them all.  25% of the population does not have the genetic ability to rid their bodies of mold.  This means that once it is  touched, inhaled, or eaten, it colonizes in the body.  This only becomes a problem when the mold types start to compete with each other for territory.  Molds release chemicals that are designed to repel one another.  These chemicals build up in the body and then start to make us sick.  Over time, this begins to appear as symptoms that include really hard to diagnose sets of issues. The most common issues are: generalized fatigue and muscle weakness; muscle crams and aches that never seem to go away;  headaches that seem to be untreatable; sensitivity to light; chronic unresponsive sinus infections; cognitive impairment; sin sensitive to light touch, metallic taste in the mouth; and so many other nonspecific symptoms that when put together indicate a mold problem.

Here is the danger.  When someone starts to take binders, to help the body rid itself of this unwanted population, the die off releases even more dangerous substances.  For this reason, detoxing the body of mold is not something to suffer through.  In fact, at the slightest sign of discomfort, the binder dosages need to be adjusted.  This means lots of conversations with the Naturopath.
