I've had the blood test & the allergy (skin scratch test) you mentioned. Those came back negative. But, I know there is paint covered mold in my old apartment. It's underneath the popcorn ceilings, as well. Since I can't change my environment yet, what can I do to help my body?? Anything at this point (with constant exposure)?
These are private labs typically so most endocrinologists or PCP don’t know about them but you could try. Although, I would focus on removing the mold from the home first and foremost.
Hi Robin. I’m Kelly from Fort St John. We chatted a few days ago. Just want to say that your youtube channel is amazing. Thanks for all your hard work 😊
I know we are a short attention span group.. we must learn to discipline our minds .. 😂😂 slow down learn to take deep breaths thru the nose.. engage our minds .. she is telling our painting a story .. try to picture what she is saying ..
auto immune are mycoplasma check cdc mycoplasma reemerging and burdened by their notoriety , it is the case auto immune are infections not just a immune problem , so mysterious.. ,any type of infammatory conditions will cause loss of minerals
I almost died from a fungal blood infection. I had double pneumonia. I had to have a bronchoscopy, and it had to be cultured. That takes 10 days. I was hospitalized for 3 weeks in an isolation room. That was 8 years ago, I will never be the same. Tricosporin Mucoides. Not sure about the spelling.
Thank you for sharing this information i noticed most doctors never grt to the root of the problem they focus on the symptoms and hence chronic diseases mold or fungus is causing so many health issues including chest or lungs infections as u mentioned pneumonia
I believe long Covid has been linked to some autoimmune conditions. I was quite disabled for about a month until I diagnosed myself with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome(MCAS), which is now under control. I was shocked that my doctor & ER doctors have no idea this syndrome even exists, since they are not taught about it in medical school. Anyone with long Covid should have this checked out, as MCAS can be related to long Covid.
Brilliant explanation, thanks. Would very common auto-immune “issues” such as Asthma, Dupuytren’s, Exczema, Hay-Fever and Psoriasis (the latter often being serious) also correlate to increased CVD risk, due to chronic inflammatory burden? Would it therefore be wise to take “suppressing” meds (eg Anti-Histamines for Hay-Fever), as opposed to putting-up with irksome symptoms, because the resultant suppressed condition would cause less CVD long-term?
In the short term yes, don’t let the inflammation run wild. That being said, in the long run it’s worth looking at things to prevent the flares all together and that is where a more holistic approach can be helpful.
Hi Fellow Canadian!!! Love your Channel Can youbplease do a video on circulation / Arteries ? How to unclog arteries? Exercises etc.. I am thinking about taking serrapeptase or nattokinase. I think you mentioned Hawthorne in one of your videos. Would love to see a video on this topic.
I was recommended to take this from my Dr and I got some off Amazon. Been taking it for a month and everything is worse. Less sleep, heavily nauseous even with food, mood became irritable, didnt want to eat, fatigued badly. It did the opposite on me.
orthostatic hypotension is adrenal or pituitary issue not dysautonomia , its not auto immune , auto immune is mycoplasma infection or viral most offen both not the case in dysautonomias but viruses they will be there but they got alot of biofilm sweating out from the head area , the colon must be cleanced and if you give them some biofilm breakers bromelain you will see fast difference but some must test one by one the herbs to avoid getting on very bad situation ..
the first part of cleance i do on my therapies is colon cleance up to 5 solid bowel movements or more soften gallstones with malic acid then get them out by also relaxing the gallbladder and lower cortisol , and dilate them then after alot of gallstones are releashed the microbiome can be rebalanced much more easyly , at the same time if someone got pituitary or adrenal issues it must be fixed..from the start with bovine supplements and herbs for those glands, then antifungal , and bioflm and in the end is parasites exept if someone got a big infestation and proper binding since pathway is opens, when this is done only then we should adress the lymph it wont detox by rebounding or massages if the person got full of mucus and microbiome problems similar to mold microbiome issues and indigestion will cause .. lymph blockages.. when ohase 1 as i call it is done the liver is fully clean , 50% of liver cleance is colon cleance , just sharing info
bovine kidneys will help , bromelain quacertin , desmodium enzymes like enzymedica allerase but on empty stomach , curing the nose , and immuno modulators , then --> you can cleance the liver as much as possible , while moving the bowels , so you can use binders when they got 2-3 solid bowel movements and only then you can do serious antifungal and not get severe die off symptoms, and gas , and take care of gallblader and release of gallstones help alot with mold issues . people that will get mold will have microbiome issues low stomach acid , and weak immunity , and already existing sifo.sibo and phase 1 phase 2 biofilm that must be adressed , , thats to share my experience on this health issue , if you see low systolic blood pressure you know they got low cortisol no need to test , its from auto immune or from low pituitary or adrenal function , if high blood pressure then its overstimulation you can expect high cortisol ..
Dear Dr. Lewis, I loved your video. You're so precise and authentic. Everything you say resonates. Thank you for the incredible knowledge and for making everything easy to understand 🙏 I have a question please. I'm currently in Greece looking to do a genetic methylation test. I found a clinic that tests for about 60 markers and they said the results are interpreted by a qualified microbiologist doctor. So do I need to ask anything before I proceed with tests or am I covered just by the amount of genes that are tested and the interpretation of the data? Is there anything else I should be asking? Thank you very much. All the best.
I have watched many videos , they say bleach to clean you can buy those gadgets to clear out the moisture can’t think of the name my son has one for a old Victorian house full of damp he said it was good, I don’t think anything will clear it but we can keep it down, I just watched a video and the doctor was saying B 1 vitamin for the body toxins
Cleaning mold that was on my bedroom window without wearing a proper mask sent me to the hospital. I was on a bipap machine for a week after developing pneumonia and was on oxygen for a month after I was discharged from the hospital. Scary stuff….make sure to properly protect yourself before attempting to clean mold!
I have mold poisoning as legalized by a Christian government that legalized slum living and no representation for the men they envy… pure insidious government
Like to share that at age 77 now I have been taking Kaneka's pure form of Ubiquinol 100-400 mg daily with meals containing some healthy fats for optimal absorption, plus the nootropic BioPQQ 20 mg to protect & increase my mitochondria. As well as expose my bare skin to the midday sun (solar noon) for 15-20 minutes daily. Thanks. Melville Jayathissa from sunny Malaysia
I have listened to several IEQ professionals and most conclude that to have elevated Mycotoxins in a blood test, one would have to have obvious and long term exposure to indoor mold and approx 99% of cases are from a mycotoxin ingested from food source (Wheat etc..) not air. What are your thoughts?
I don’t do blood test for mycotoxins, I do urine. Even with that test you can put people on a low mold diet to be sure that’s it’s not coming from food.
Thank you very much for sharing so much knowledge Dr. Lewis. I’m not a doctor. I’m an engineer from Chile and I started spending more time researching after my mom was diagnosed with ALS. What you explained made a lot of sense. My mom started getting the symptoms after going through a lot of stress. After dealing with my dad being diagnosed with prostate cancer (now he is in great health conditions), after my grandmother going through dementia and my mom was the only person taking care of her, after stop working, moving to a new house, etc. I’ve watched many videos of the ALS reversal cases and one of them Mark Manchester was describing how he got better by getting different supplements. I would love to hear from you if you have some experience with patients with ALS. Regarding to DNA testing, what you recommend, and supplements, what to consider for sure and what to avoid. I would love you to live in Chile. I know you would be able to help my mom. I thank you again for being a real doctor. For seeing the body as a whole.
I worked at a building that had consistent and bad water exposure (extremely bad and leaky roof) for a long time. I fought with upper management to get it fixed, using my coworkers cystic fibrosis as the box I would get fired on if it didn’t get fixed. This was years ago. Here I am now, a slew of health issues but what really caught me was my development of paranasal sinus disease that everyone just brushes off with “coincidental finding” crap. This was not there when I first started developing symptoms. I’ve been functioning on about 20% of the person I used to be since late 2019. I was tired of inconsistent test results and being told it’s all anxiety and depression. I didn’t have anxiety and depression until I started feeling like I was dying and doctors looking at me like I’m crazy. The last few years I’ve been doing my own research and trying to control as much as I can with what goes into my body, I have extreme gut sensitivities now, and my skin is so bad. Chronic migraines with stroke symptoms, chronic inflammation….I discovered a lot of my symptoms could be related to mold. To ease my mind I sent my husband inspecting spaces for mold in our home. We found it. Professionals have taken care of it a few months ago. I installed extra filtration in our home water system and sanitized our well tank since we live in marsh area that floods a lot. I have a hepa home air filter as my home didn’t even have any built in air circulation previously. These things are so important but are rarely maintained. Doctors have never ever talked to me about environmental factors or even sent me for any kind of allergy testing 🤷♀️ I guess I never really thought about mold colonizing inside of me but this makes so much sense. I hope I can find a path to better health. Thank you for your knowledge.
Im certain my mother has and is still dying of thirty years of black mold exposure. No one in the medical industry will listen to me. My step father left no gutters on the house for 25 years. Have electric heating walls. Black mold would develop in ac and build up on shower curtain within days. Ive told her and my step father, idk how many tines, and they both act like I'm saying a conspiracy theory. Now that ive been staying here for past ten years, same symptoms that started with my mom are happening to me. She had an allergy test done like 15 years ago and black mold was the top of the list. I've told all family members many times, doctors, nurses and even complete strangers. Im working on getting my own place again. I've been staying here to help them. I've warned them. Now i must go. I've tried everything. Thought about telling the story and do go fund me to help them. My stepfather knows. Thats the scary part. He wont admit. I thought about tearing out the walls to expose.
I lived in a apartment complex for 5 years that had mold issues I always felt lack of energy low appetite headaches and hair loss breathing problems aches and pain ect plus being diabetic with RA OA plus other health issues had a round of bells palsy for 3 weeks then a month later had a heart attack.
Yes that would be great to see. Thanks for offering. Also, Since you just did a a video on mold. Could you also do one on carbon monoxide and radon and their effects?
I’m sorry to hear that! Unfortunately conventional medical training doesn’t usually cover it so it will often require you going to specific people who have have took it upon themselves to educate in this area.
@dr.robinlewis thays because there isn't as much profits in treating the root cause the real profits are by not educating doctors and only treating symptoms
If you have suffered lifelong non-responsive gut dysbiosis then you might be a FUT2 non-secretor (identifiable with a genetic test). This is synonymous with B12 deficiency as well as multiple other symptoms/conditions. If you are a non-secretor your body will not be able to absorb methylcobalamin and your blood serum B12 will read high, you will need to administer regular intramuscular hydroxocobalamin injections to increase intracellular B12 levels.
