Traveler, I know I have mold exposure. Didn't know it made detoxing harder. Maybe that's why I had such high mercury levels despite no amalgam fillings. I guess that's all the more reason to increase detoxing

Mercury and Mold will halt any progress. Pls look into Dr Shoemaker protocol, it's very simple and you can do it at home http://www.survivingmold.com/ basis of it is a taking cholestyramine which is a bile acid sequestrant twice a day. Try to eliminate all the mold sources at home.

Activated charcoal was also effective in pulling mold out but cholestyramine was by far the most effective, both need to be taken 2 hours away from any meal or supplements.

For Mercury you need high doses of vitamin c taken thru the day. Make sure that you supplement with minerals as c will bind and pull all minerals.

Once you bring your mold and mercury load down your body will begin to heal.

I think you're right about mercury and molds being road blocks to recovery.

I believe I got my mercury levels to an acceptable level. I first blood tested at 24.8. Through Pecta-Sol C and ALA I got it to 24.3. Then, after a large dose of DMSA and IMD by Quicksilver, I got it down to 6.6.

What I don't know how to test for is mold levels in the body. I originally had high antibodies to stachybotrys (toxic back mold) and chaetomium. What blood tests do I request to check for current mold levels in the body, and to make sure future treatments are effective?

Also, what is the most cost effective way to meaningfully test for mold in the home? We have had visible mold growth in the home before (on windows, a leaking skylight, on bathroom ceiling and walls, also on drywall from a leaking washer hook-up pipe). All these sources of mold were cleaned up or drywall removed. I no longer see mold in the house, but I definitely smell it in the master bedroom closet. I no longer use the closet, but the door is 6 feet away from where I sleep. How can I get the mold smell out when I don't even see any mold?

When we bought the house, the closet had OBS walls and ceilings. It had a weird sickly sweet smell that I don't really know how to describe. I thought it was just weird smelling OSB, but I really disliked the smell. We decided to replace all the OSB with drywall. My brother in law is a dry waller and was helping us renovate. He ripped one wall of the OSB out and then decided it was too much work, so for the rest of the walls and ceiling, he left the weird smelling OBS in and just dry walled right on top of it. He said it would encapsulate the odor. Shelves were put it it was all painted, and it was filled with clothes.

I wonder if that smell was mold, and that mold is still there underneath! Would a moisture gun detect it? It would be a major undertaking to take the closet apart and re-do it. Brother in law no longer able to help either.
