Mold Mycotoxin Illness & CIRS

The single most important thing you can do if you suspect mold illness.

Remove yourself from the source. Most common sources include HVAC, poor foundations and structural support, poor circulation, humidity, home and work. Any treatment will be hindered if you remain exposed.

Why Conventional testing falls short?

Conventional testing only measures your allergy immune system response (creation of IgE antibodies) against mold species. You may not have an allergy to mold, like someone who is allergic to peanuts, but are still suffering from mold mycotoxin illness.

Currently, the most accurate testing for mold mycotoxin illness is assessing for the presence of mold spores in urine. There are a few speciality functional medicine labs that do this test, as it is not widely accepted by conventional testing methods yet.

How do you know to test for mold mycotoxin illness?

If you are experiencing a series of infections and symptoms that suggest immune activation and chronic inflammation yet are not improving with the treatment methods you are currently using, it may be time to assess your surroundings for mold. Sometimes the mycotoxin load is not the result of a current living or work environment, but a past environment where you were exposed to biotoxins you were unable to effectively excrete.

Testing can include urinalysis, serum (blood) and nasal swabs.

You have tested positive for mold mycotoxin illness (CIRS), now what?

First, you need to find the source of the mold and remediate. Second, support your body to balance your immune response, detoxify and eliminate the mycotoxins, and treat any additional lingering infections.

Can mold make other infections or conditions worse?

Yes. Mycotoxins can not only activate the immune system, but make it harder for the immune system to properly react to other pathogens.

Her 75 minute Initial Consultations are structured to optimize the time available for you to share your whole story, to discuss symptoms in a robust manner, decide on most valuable testing, and make a plan you can get started with right away. Plans can consist of recommendations for binders, immune support, infection treatment, nervous system support, dietary and physical medicine recommendations. Each plan is personalized for your individual mold mycotoxins and symptoms.

Dr Hall believes in the partnership needed for effective long term healing. She recommends followups every 4-6 weeks for the initial treatment phase.
