Mold test question

I have been preparing for the Great Plains mycotoxin test for almost two weeks.

I have been taking glutathione two times a day.
I was going to do seven days then send in urine sample but I got my period and waited until after menses.

Now I am ready and did a sauna two days in a row and and peed in cup yesterday. It is frozen now.

Here's the question:

In the meantime I have also started supportive herbs ( ashwaganda, holy basil and eluthero) that have been helping my symptoms of anxiety, depression and fog.

I spent a few nights at a friends lake house in the last ten days and have been out of the house some. I'm second guessing weather I've been home enough so that if mold were an issue, that I've been exposed enough.

I'd like to be done and mail in my sample. But it is $300 so I want to do it right and not have a false neg, if in fact there's a mold thing happening with me.

Is this money well spent and will it give good results?. Is it definitive? Or is it like lyme etc. a pos is pos but negative means not much?

Those herbs I mentioned have been great and I was feeling good then this morning I felt foggy and was thinking, " oh maybe my toxin level is increasing and maybe I should wait till I feel like crap again. Is this reasonable thinking ? Should I wait to feel worse to get a urine sample? I mean , I'm pretty darn sure the herbs are def making me feel better, but I'm second guessing if I've been exposed enough lately.

Does the urine have recent mycotoxins in there or are they excreted from the tissue( adipose tissue... ??? ... the form said to fast to possibly get fat cells to release. This is why you sauna first.

Or maybe the saunas brought out today's fog.

Also( as if all that want enough) , the glutathione seemed to bring out a couple different things, a scalp tingling for first two days, but other than that I've felt really good with the gluthionine. Not sure what that indicates, if anything.

I'm over thinking here. Should I be? But is this mold test helpful.

After this I'm plannning to start a- bab. Oh joy.

Any mold detectives still reading?

Thank you so much!

Out of last two weeks, I spent the last two Friday nights at the lake house. I'm not concerned about the other house( although good point) . As much as not being here enough.

It's accurate. I took it after a year of being out of my water damaged house and came back through the roof (On a scale of 4 to 20, I had 80 for Ochratoxin A. Four times the max!).

Since I'm out if the exposed area, LLND thinks it's in my sinuses and I am essentially a mold factory. I start treatment for that on friday

Thankyou.

I can't decide to send in tommarow or wait another week and send in no sauna. I'm leaning toward just getting it over with but will hold off if deem helpful.

Is the response to gluthione inficative of anything?

I feel better now on it. It's kind of gross but I may order more. It's expensive. 75 dollars hasn't lasted long.

Why not call the lab and ask them for advice. That was just my opinion. The lab should be able to give you some guidance.

We are doing a fungal test tomorrow of my sinuses, but beginning treatment the same day. It was explained to me that essentially, if you do not live in mold anymore and do not work in a moldy environment (I am off work right now), and your mycotoxins do not go down with cholysteramine / charcoal / chlorella, then there is a significant chance they live in your sinuses and reproduce from there. He cited this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3920250/.

And indicated that in similar cases as mine, the fungal sinus approach is usually correct -but sometimes involves surgery to remove the inflamed fungal mucosa and disinfect the area.

I sent it in. I called my natro. She was confident that it would be a good sample. I didn't talk directly but am letting go of it for now.

Strange thing is after starting glutathione and supportive herbs I felt the best I've felt in many months. For about ten days It was amazing.

However, the last two days I've been foggy. Maybe from the sauna or unrelated stress. It was too good to be true.

Feeling better on glutathione probably means that your liver needed help clearing out some grime. It amps up detoxification. It's good stuff.
