Mould is a serious health concern. If you've ever lived or worked in a mouldy environment, chances are you still have mould spores living inside your body causing an array of health complaints.
Depending on the state of your health, it can take up to a few years to fully detoxify from the mould. Here are some common examples of where the mould can begin to take its toll on your body (and its not just the gut...)
- We can have gliotoxins causing neurological issues such as depression, ADHD, bipolar.
- Chronic sinus issues/ post nasal drip from mould spores.
- We can have ochratoxins causing constant urination from kidney issues (Check your eGFR on bloods for oxidative stress).
- We can have mould effecting our hormones causing disruptions in our cycle, (PMS ) + even our fertility.
What can you do? I strongly advise that you carry out functional testing to determine the best approach to support you because we are all built slightly differently. This will allow you to know what type of mould you are working with, your ability to detoxify and also where in particular the mould is living at high amounts in your body. It can take a few years to detoxify when you are very sick with mould, with most people thinking they can simply detoxify straight away.If you are reading this and you have previously tried detoxing from mould chances are you could have become very sick. This is why working with someone who can review your bloods and functional test alongside opening up + supporting the detox pathways first is always the way to go.
- NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) is great
- Reservatrol
- Magnesium
- Bile acid support
- Nasal sprays if you have sinus issues or post nasal drips
- Calcium D glucarate
- Bitter herbs to support digestion
- Activated charcoal (the smallest amount)
If you go hard on detoxing and try this quickly, you can make yourself very sick. Look after yourself and go very gentle to allow your body to heal properly.
