Mold and Mycotoxins, What They Are, And How To
Protect Yourself.
2
What is Mycotoxins?
  • Mycotoxins are poisonous compounds produced by
    certain molds. The effects of mycotoxins in
    humans can range from mild to severe, depending
    on the type of mold and the amount of exposure.
    Mold toxicity is a growing concern for many
    people, and for good reason. Mold can grow in
    your home, even if you don't see it. And the
    toxins produced by mold can cause health
    problems.

Types of Mycotoxins
  • There are three types of mycotoxins
  • 1. Aflatoxins are produced by molds that grow on
    grains, nuts, and tree crops. They can grow in
    warm, moist conditions, so they're often found in
    tropical climates.
  • 2. Ochratoxins are produced by molds that grow on
    coffee beans and other food products like cereal
    grains and dried fruit. They can also be found in
    beer and wine.
  • 3. Patulin is a type of mycotoxin that can be
    found in apples and grapes.
  • But there are many mold toxicity treatments

Mold Neurological Symptoms
  • Mold neurological symptoms can come in many
    forms. While the most common are headaches,
    dizziness, and fatigue, some people experience
    nausea or vomiting, changes in vision and
    hearing, numbness in the extremities, or memory
    loss.

Mold Toxicity Treatment
  • Anti-fungal medication - This option is best for
    people who are looking for an immediate solution
    while they work on getting rid of the mold in
    their home. It can also be used as a supplement
    to other treatments.
  • Homeopathic remedies - These remedies are made
    from natural ingredients and have no known side
    effects. They can be used alongside antifungal
    medications or alone if you don't want to take
    any medication at all.
  • Dietary changes - Diet plays a huge role in how
    your body responds to different kinds of toxins,
    so it makes sense that it would play a role in
    how well your body handles mold exposure as well!
    Many people find that changing what they eat
    helps them feel better faster than any other
    treatment.

Mold Detox Protocol
  • Mold detox protocols are an essential part of
    mold remediation. The process of removing mold
    from a home can release spores into the air,
    causing further damage to your health and the
    health of your loved ones.
  • The following steps will help you get started
    with a successful mold detox protocol
  • Wash all clothes and bedding in hot water and
    detergent.
  • Remove any wall hangings or photos containing
    mold, as well as any items that have been in
    contact with mold.
  • Open all windows and doors for ventilation.
  • Clean thoroughly with disinfectant cleaner,
    scrubbing hardwood floors and shower tiles with a
    stiff brush or sponge mop.

Detox Your Home From Mold Toxicity
  • Detox your home is to make sure you have a
    mold-free environment. Mold can grow on anything,
    so even if you don't see any visible signs of it
    right now, it's important to check for mold
    toxins in your home.
  • You should start by cleaning up any visible mold
    from your house. This includes checking behind
    walls, under sinks and in closets. If you find
    any growths of mold in these areas then use
    bleach or hydrogen peroxide to kill them off
    completely before moving forward with the rest of
    your detox plan!
  • Next up is removing any sources of moisture that
    could lead to future outbreaks of mold growth.
    This includes fixing leaky pipes under sinks or
    toilets as well as checking for leaks underneath
    floorboards or walls where water may have
    collected over time.

Conclusion
  • There are many links between mold toxicity and
    neurological symptoms. Research shows mycotoxins
    can affect the connective tissue, nerves, brain,
    liver, kidneys, and muscles of humans. This can
    lead to impaired balance and coordination, speech
    problems, depression, and memory loss. Mycotoxins
    have also been linked to liver disease, asthma,
    HIV infection, and AIDS. While there are certain
    steps you can take to remove mold and mycotoxins
    from your body, the effects of long-term exposure
    will be more difficult to overcome. You must
    detox your home, and you must detox your body.
    You must rid your body of mold toxins. When the
    body has been affected so greatly, slow
    detoxification is needed to properly heal the
    nervous system and restore normal brain activity.
