You have to get the mycotoxins out too as they travel and will imbed in furniture and carpet, drapes you name it. Even with the mold actually removed you have to get the spores out too. There is a company in Kansas that I used and loved. Let me know if anyone needs their name I can look I up 🙏🏽🪶
Yes absolutely correct I found it for a friend because I’m like a mold smelling dog here 😂not funny because it was making her sick and we were at a mold clinic for healing.
I saw your other video on Tinitus and the relation to sinus released mycotoxins. I am noticing that when I use my nasal spray from my Naturopath that the tinitus increases. Thank you for your videos that help me put 2 and 2 together there.
Please do a video on the eyes. Most of all, this is the worst for me, I can't work anymore because I am too light sensitive now and my work is on the computer. It seems like most of what I need to do to advance in life is on the computer. I have floaters that appeared suddenly with the mold.
Probably some are going to laugh but tobacco was used by the native for purification and health. Have you noticed something different with tobacco smokers affected by mold below 40yo and below? Do they recover differently? Could tobacco smoke kill mold colonies inside the lungs and sinuses (for sinuses providing you blow it out your nose a sometimes). Maybe I should start smoking temporarily to cure my lungs and respiratory system. This is the part where people laugh I would assume. Even nicotine would potentially help the vagus nerve for people who are traumatised by mold and its effects
To verify her whole science. I Started getting hives, anxiety, .......when i moved into this house 15 years ago. At first it was an un noticed roof leak. I was put on antibiotics and anti depressant and it was making hives worse and causing severe panic attacks. I never had hives or anxiety before moving. I did have allergies, though. My life was as good as it ever was when i moved into this house. GF had zero issues with allergies/ hives ect. and thought I was going crazy, she moved out. Wish I would have been the one to move out. Because I had a long, awful road ahead of me. I didn't even realize the roof leak was an issue so I actually just let the water run down the corner of the laundry room wall and into the drain pipe for the washer. Allergy shots seemed to fix the hives issue but the anxiety damage was already it's own thing. I basically gave myself ptsd. Fear that the panic attacks would strike. Living in Hell. So after I fixed the roof and had a somewhat normal few years with allergy shots. Drs office closed and i was forced to quit taking allergy shots. They said I only need the 3 years anyway. Nope. About a year later I was back to getting hives and panic attacks. And back into shots. 3 years later my work swapped Insurance and I was forced off shots again. Year later hives came back. Durring this time I was fixing up the house and finding all kinds of hidden water, moisture damage and the crawlspace is super musty and the foundation was sinking making it almost impossible to access. There's a water worn 3 ft dip under the kitchen sink and another under the bathroom area which is inaccessible. I put fans under the house to try and keep it dry but water keeps finding its way into the wood. I had an ice maker hose explode and flood my kitchen and living room while I was on vacation and a portable AC hose come loose and flood my bedroom. I eventually replaced subfloor in 3 rooms. Also had outside hose burst 3 seperate times/winters and cause water damage in the wall behind my kitchen sink. Now the metal drip edge on my roof was behing the metal fascia because the screws came loose and was letting water run inside along the wooden rafters. I'm not crazy but If I was willing to think outside the box I'd think all fungus has a sort of consciousness and they all have ways of getting what they need from the earth or from us humans. There's phsycadellics, poison, there's terrifying the cordyceps that kills its insect hosts but are somehow really good for humans with elevation changes and oxygen levels. There's so many complicated mushrooms doing all kinds of things good and bad. I take healthy mushrooms when I'm healthy and I avoid them when I am dealing with water damage and hives. This house is just paid off. I plan to buy a camper and live inside of the camper whole i ether gut this house and see if it worth saving or have it tore down and sell the land and garage. The problem is now I need a place to live and I was struggling before I paid this house off and the payments were low now in 2023 a dump of a house worse than my house costs 300$ more to rent than what I was paying. And even when my credit goes back up. We still have an inflation problem, and 8% interest rates. Any way hives came back after another water spicket explosion and now I'm building on allergy shots and taking xolair. I've been on prednisone for way too long and having nightmares from withdrawals. I should be at full allergy shot levels in 2 weeks and off prednisone. Hopefully I can get a very mildew free camper soon and start healing for the last time. I'll probably start building a tiny house on my acre or convert the garage into a house or move down south where the soil is more sandy and not black fertile and musty.
Took a bunch of searching, but I finally found the link to the cleaner recipe, so I thought I’d share. drcrista.com/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2023/06/Natural-All-purpose-Cleaning-Formula-2023.02.21.pdf
I dont know the answer perse, but in my case, i live in a house that has Black mold, and now i suddenly have an iron deficiency. Taking dietary iron tablets immediately improved all the symptoms for a couple of weeks, but then all the symptoms gradually started coming back - while still taking iron tablets. So i would say Black mold is at least one type that might cause this.
Sounds good! With mold illness our bodies produce more oxalates. Too many oxalates can cause problems. Flat leaf kale is low oxalate, curly leaf kale is high oxalate. Interesting note, my chickens won't eat the curly leaf kale.
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to gain even more weight once you leave the moldy environment due to detox? Would intestinal permeability play a part in this? I'm thinking mycotoxins in the bile being reabsorbed in the small intestine causing inflammation? Not sure. Just thinking. Left my moldy environment and I just feel inflamed like crazy. Gaining rapid amounts of weight. Have to eat around three thousand calories. High fat and high protein or I feel absolutely horrible. Like unbelievably bad if it's even 100 calories under.
Thanks for All your help over this past year in my mold journey Jill Crista! I was wondering if boiled apple cider vinegar would be suitable on a mold diet, since boiling it hypothetically kill the fungus and live cultures within the apple cider vinegar. Sadly, I have some added challenges of possible chronic kidney disease. I feel the benefits of ACV for CKD, but it also feels like mold can creep back into the picture…
Something that's happened to me ever since I had sinus surgery is my nose runs like crazy when the air is just below 60 degrees. I've wondered if it was mold, in reality. The turbinates in my left sinus swelled back up pretty quick and I wonder if the whole picture is effected. Just got my HiTech Air unit and 2 new Intellipure units are on the way.
What about us expats living in the Caribbean area? I can’t throw out the apartment I’ve rented for 6 months nor the furniture inside. Every house in playa del Carmen, where I am, smells musty. Some so bad you can’t stand to breathe! Is there something we can do with our ac not just to remove the humidity but mainly to help kill or keep mold away? Are there any other remedies than opening windows to air out and or using ac to just keep it drier?? Thanks
I really could use your help Dr. Crista. I couldn't comment on your recent videos so I figured I would try here. I really appreciate your videos so much by the way. It's been frustrating that I can't find a doctor who will take me seriously when I mention mold toxicity and there is zero testing in my area as well. I'm having to assume I have multiple mycotoxins and take somewhat of a trial and error approach. I'm currently taking binders in small doses, but the challenging part for me is determining which ones to use, which order, or should I take multiple simultaneously. Started with some fiber and probiotics (such as Saccharomyces boulardii). I use the washroom twice a day and everything seems good in that aspect. I just started some chlorella and activated charcoal. The charcoal gave me a bad headache and dizziness, but I guess that could mean it's moving some mycotoxins, so I just dropped the dosage. I have bentonite clay picked up but don't know if I should wait or add that in as well. My main symptoms are low energy level, recent sensitivity to multiple airbourne allergens/sents, and terrible asthma (gasping for air at times). I know this is a lot, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
