The responses to my last post prompted this one.

For those who have treated mold, what did you do specifically for mold treatment?

Were your mold treatments prescribed or recommended by your doctor?

What has helped as far as mold treatment?

Did mold treatment reduce your sensitivity to mold when exposed? Did it reduce your chemical sensitivities (if you have them)?

On my mold treatment days I take chlorella, oil of oregano, sacro b and Argentyn 23 in my nose.
Interfase plus as biofilm buster. If feeling worse I dont take all of them, but rotate them instead.

Then I take Ultra binder daily as a binder. Most days I also add GI detox or Takesumi supreme.
Im working with a practitoner over Skype at a functional medicine center. Except for the two last binders, Im following her protocol.

She is also a big fan of the book Toxic by Neil Nathan so I guess she takes inspiration from that book.

Hard to say what has helped as I do a lot of other things for my health also, but I do herx a lot on the things I take. I have very good energy levels, but with a lot of symtoms when treating. Way less on days when I dont take anything.

Im trying to avoid mold as much as possible so I dont know how I would react. I dont have any problem with spending short time at a store or something.
I think my chemcial sensitivity is a bit less, but Im working hard on avoiding that also. Always taking a shower after testing new clothes, if buying something new I always leave it outside first if possible etc.

Avoidance is big part of the treatment also.
I should be eating more clean also, but as my body can tolerate a lot more now then before I still drink wine, eat potato chips etc.

I do about 25 min of ir sauna 2-3 times a week and 1-2 epsom foot baths per day also to help.

Deep_sleep,

Thnx. Can you tell me what brand of chlorella and oil of oregano you take?

Do you get a lot of pain? I get a lot of what I call toxin pain in various parts of my body - joints, muscles, and tissue. Feels like inflammatory pain without visible swelling.

As far as avoidance, were you exposed to mold at home and then you moved?

WBF - are you confident that the pain is all from mould and not the infections?


I have had a lot of pain with bart/babs/lyme....

I will reply on what chlorella and oil of oregano later. But yes pain is my biggest symtom. It comes and goes in all parts of the body. My burning skin and anxiety is worse so its good I dont have as much of those.

We lived one year in an apartment in Vancouver with mold where I got sick after 6 months. Then moved back to Sweden 6 months later. My girlfriend got symtoms when living there but crashed a few months after moving to Sweden.

My guess is that I have both bartonella and mold that causes pain. I get a lot more pain when treating both.

Act. Charcoal 1st thing AM

Chitosan + 3 caps chlorophyll about an hour later

Nebulized EO's (cinnamon + eucalyptus) throughout the day as needed

Chlorophyll caps, humic acid, citrus bioflavanoids with yogurt and berries for breakfast/snack

All of this really really has helped me with symptoms, but the mold sensitivity is still there and so far no one really seems to have an answer for that.

Girlie,

No. I’m not confident about anything anymore. The pain is probably from all of it. I have brief reprieve periodically, but have no explanation of why. For example, last Thursday I had very little body pain for some reason but had a lot of pain for days after. I go places every day, so it makes it harder to rationalize what may or may not be the cause of worse symptoms or of reprieve.

Today, water started leaking into the car from clogged drain holes in the sunroof. Will cost $200-$1,000 to unclog the drains. We didn’t even know there were drains or that they were supposed to be periodically cleaned out. Now we’re reacting to mold in the car from the leak which is wetting the ceiling material. This is my mom’s car. I still have a car but haven’t driven it since cleaning stuff out of our old moldy house, because I was reacting to the smell and toxins in my car.

Girlie,

Does the pain you have ever feel like inflammation from toxins in your body?

Girlie,

Yes - sometimes I feel “inflamed” as it’s not joint pain or muscle pain - I just feel pain.
I don’t know if it’s from toxins.
Perhaps mcas - because Quercetin seemed to help - BUT I started to bruise on it and that scared me.

I go from being scared to take things to being scared to not take things. sad

But I am slowly improving.
I’ve been really paying attention this last cycle of meds and the pattern.

I took meds for 4 days and seemed to herx .
And since then my symptoms have been lessening - I’m now on the third week off and today is pretty good.
I start meds for four days on Monday followed by 3 weeks off again - hoping I see the same pattern
If I don’t I will crawl under the covers and cry.

Prior to this maintenance protocol (which I started a few months ago - I didn’t have clear patterns - except for herxing on the Rifabutin... but then the next couple weeks - no pattern - flares and good days unpredictable.

I’ve always had random flares on and off the abx.

The ones I was recommended is Chlorella by The Really Healthy Company and Oil of Oregano by Designs for Health. But Im using Chlorella from Holistic and Oil of oregano from RevivaBio.
Using things that is left from my girlfriends treatment and trying to buy things that are a bit cheaper but still good.

I forgot to mention that I also use a neti pot with salt water about 2 times a week and take Mucuna Supreme most mornings. I havent tested my dopamine levels but they are often low when you have had mold problems for a long time, so thats why Im taking Mucuna.

I took modified citrus pectin for possible mold toxins and I know everyone is different but it greatly helped me.
