MOLD - MYCOTOXIN RESULTS

Hi! So, yes you are positive for mycotoxins. The first step is to determine where you’re being exposed and get out of exposure.

The mold doctors use the ERMI test to test buildings. They have specific parameters based on the ERMI that they correlate to health effects. I am not convinced that an ERMI is absolutely necessary if you have the right inspector. Of course, if you have had known leaks, moisture issues, musty smells, or visible mold growth then you may be able to identify where it’s coming from.

Gliotoxin is from Aspergillis, and Aspergillis grows wherever there is high humidity. In areas like the South, it’s a given. Aspergillis can easily be in exterior wall cavities all over the first floor of the house, in walls around windows, in crawl spaces, etc. The point being, in a high humidity geographical location, it can be widespread in the building as opposed to isolated around a plumbing fixture or a roof leak.

A really good inspector can help. If you live in FL, GA, SC, NJ, PA, or around New England, I have a few inspectors I know who would be worth the money.
—————
The Great Plains lab report includes great information about the toxins and includes information about binders for those toxins in most cases.

For what it’s worth, your levels are not alarming. My gliotoxin was 3,482.63. My doctor said I had the highest gliotoxin of any of her patients. My zearalenone levels were off the charts, too, at 111.9 with >.5 being positive.

WBF also I live in NH soo yes would appreciate anyone you can recommend should I need to go that route. [url]

Ahh, yes. The office sounds like a bad place. Any option to work from home or from an alternate location?

Just so you know, detoxing mycotoxins can take time - many months after getting out of exposure.

My first 2 mycotoxin tests were with Realtime Labs, done 18 months apart after moving from my moldy house to a relative’s less moldy house.

For detox, I took 3tsp daily of Readisorb glutathione, 1,200 mg 2x daily of NAC, 2-5 capsules of activated charcoal and 5g of Pectasol-C during that time. I also took Cholestyramine for 11 days, but never got to full dosage before stopping.

When my 2nd test was done, I had completely cleared gliotoxin. Everything else was in the negative range. I had higher numerical results for some other toxins (still negative range) that I was able to correlate to exposure in the relative’s house based on ERMI results. My levels of those other toxins were rising even while I was doing all that for detox.

sdarrah,

God must be shining on you, as my brain seems to be more lucid than usual today😋. LOL!!!

GLIOTOXIN:
Some important things to know about this particular toxin. (I am reciting this from memory from my Functional MD/CIRS doctor.)

- Gliotoxin is a potent IMMUNE SUPPRESSOR. This means in their presence, other infections like Lyme/co can get an upper hand.

- Gliotoxin, especially, DEPLETES GLUTATHIONE. If you have gliotoxin, you should definitely be supplementing glutathione. My doctor had me on Readisorb liposomal glutathione. Make sure you use liposomal. NAC and ALA may help, but glutathione itself is still needed. (ALA is dangerous to mercury toxic people, according to A. Cutler.) Glutathione is your MASTER ANTIOXIDANT. You cannot detox without it. Gliotoxin, in particular, can really shut down the body’s production and metabolism of glutathione.

- Candida albicans is believed to also be capable of producing gliotoxin. My doctor (and probably others) do the Great Plains OAT test at the same time as the MycoTox test, as the OATS test can show high yeast metabolites. My insurance actually covered the OAT test. If you didn’t get that done at the same time, I would consider getting it done soon.

Thank you WBF for all your knowledge I actually have already been taking Liposomal Glutithione, NAC and Activated Charcoal. I get confused on the timing however on everything maybe you can help with that. If I list my current schedule could you offer some suggestions.

to my knowledge, there is no reason to separate herbs from antibiotics - in fact, some work well together with them. so that may help simplify the protocol for you

most herbs esp tinctures are doses 3x a day for best effectiveness.
usually, 15minutes before meals works well for most people

binders i would take separately to everything else - by around 2hrs - just based on what they do - you don't really want them absorbing / binding supplements or abx

probiotics - perhaps worth taking away from antibiotics
