Mold, It Will Make You Sick

By Dr. Demetrios Kydonieus, Chiropractic Nutritionist

More people are becoming aware of the severe impact that mold and mycotoxin (the toxins from mold) illnesses can have on the body and brain. This has become a large focus in the chronic illness community as more people are doing testing and realizing that their persistent symptoms have been related to mycotoxin exposure! It is common for people to underestimate the possibility of toxic mold exposure in their current or past home or work environments. You may hear…”But my house has never had a leak!” or “We don’t live in a humid place. “Some statistics show that at least 45 million buildings in the United States have unhealthy levels of mold, which means that many chronically ill people have been exposed to mycotoxins in their environment. This may be at a child’s school, a person’s workplace or building they spend a lot of time in. Hotels are places that we expect to be cleaned and disinfected in between guests are actually notorious sources of mold and mycotoxin exposure. Food can be another large source. Foods like grains, nuts, and even coffee can be a source of daily mycotoxin exposure. And while it may seem that you weren’t around it long enough to make you “sick” you may be wrong.

Diseases and symptoms linked to mycotoxin exposure include fever, pneumonia-like symptoms, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, asthma, sinusitis, cancer, memory loss, brain fog, vision loss, chronic fatigue, skin rashes, depression, ADHD, anxiety, cancer, and liver damage. According to some current studies 93% of chronic sinus infections have been linked to mold! And if you have a genetic predisposition, you may be even more sensitive to its effects.
