Amen Clinics saved my life after suffering from mold illness for 15 years. Mainstream doctors made everything worse by misdiagnosing me and medicating me into oblivion. I had a bad reaction to one of the meds which gave me short term amnesia for several months... lost my job, bank took my car and my house. I was homeless during the pandemic. I finally got some money from my house and went to Amen in Seattle. They knew what I needed and now, 2 years later, I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life at 39.

Thank you, for sharing! I 💯 understand, almost to an exact T, your story. I have my upcoming history/zoom appointment on the 12th. I've lost 2 jobs, a 3 1/2 relationship, nearly my car, but mold costing me the roof over my head managed to help save that. I barely have 2 (now very distant) friends left, out of several. I have completely been stripped of me, especially in this past year in a half. Thank you, again!
I went through mold sickness, manifested some neuropsychiatric symptoms, got myself to an Osteopathic physician, took a series of nutritional IV’s , & got well very rapidly!
did the mold finally kill u? u haven't replied to anyone's comments & i wanna know if u got cured this way whilst still living in a moldy environment or after moving out?
Thank You, Dr. Cornish, for producing this video. We have lived this nightmare after my son was exposed to black mold during a summer session at college. It took years to be validated. The journey can almost destroy the heart and soul of a person and their caretaker when there is little to no understanding or validation from the medical world. family, and friends. Thank You, your willingness to understand and your work is a blessing to many. Praying for you and you patients. ❤️ This video is a phenomenal explanation of what can happen when exposed to toxic mold.
Absolutely! Thank you Dr. Cornish! ❤️ Every symptom you described, putting mold toxicity, "At the top of my list, well or close to the top of my list...". I believe that's close to how you said it. I have and have been experiencing on/off for years. I've never been this sick though. My old static socks, let's just say they've manifested into entire body electrical voltage like jolts. When those electric like currants, LIKE LIGHTNING BOLTS, that's exactly how I've been describing it to my family for about a year now. My entire body jumps up off couch and it's as terrifying to my as it is painful!!! It's like lightning shooting from our of my fingers and toes!!! It hurts, but I really can't describe the kind of pain cause it's more scary almost than it is hurting. My heart just starts racing and I feel this well like electric highly intense shock throughout my whole body and in my heart even too. That's nothing compared to the overwhelming over heating of my body, and or the rest of my MAIN SYMPTOMS. Thank you, again, too.
Thank you for this my 15 year old son has been dealing with many of the symptoms discussed. They keep treating him as strictly psychological with drugs which haven't helped. Anger, delerium, mood swings, unsteady gate. This has come on so fast since moving into an historic home with known mold issues. The medical community has blown me off repeatedly but I can't overlook this.
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!! Wish you lots of healing!
Excellent clarifying presentation on how mold toxicity can prevent us from healing our bodies completely. Chronic health issues that simply won’t go away will benefit from a consultation and preliminary testing in this area. I appreciate the information on mold toxicity and Alzheimers.
youtube algorithm brought your podcast to me and I feel so relieved. I have been sick almost all my life and never knew why and never got very well. I recently moved into a house with toxic mold and I have gotten very sick. Now I know, my life long sickness was from mold sensitivity. I found an NP who specializes in similar things as you. I have been diagnosed with CIRS. I will be moving soon from the moldy house and the very humid climate to a desert region with low dew points. With the help of the NP and the single digit dew points, I am anticipating to start feeling better. This moldy house is even affecting my dog and cat. I have not come across very many MD's who have a grasp of the mold issues, but you sure do! I subscribed and I hope you keep sharing videos.
Like all of you out there, im going through this mold toxticity too. Numbess in hands and feet, lethargy, stomach pain, dizziness, heart palpitations, joint pain. Diatomaceous earth, undeclyenic acid, digestive enzymes helping so far
Watch podcast by Dr Neil Nathan for more about treatment. Also Sinusitis Wellness website has an excellent ENT doctor who is the expert on nasal colonization by mold and has a blog on how to treat it at home. You gotta get it out of your sinuses or you will never get well even in a clean environment.
@@athens31415 well not sure if it was candida or mild in mine but mine are all clear after 15 years but fybromyalgia 24/7 lingers on found out I have Asperger's add eds so I don't have detox pathways as others but unsure if it's mold
@@athens31415 I know its stuck in my sinuses now, thanks for your help. My 1st exposure was a small exposure although I am treating Lyme Disease and have a low immune system. This 2nd exposure is far worse. My Naturopath said to use an OTC Xlear nasal spray, all natural and has Grapefruit seed extract - which is a well known "antibiotic like " supplement I used it and it burned my sinuses and my eyes. I tried using it for a week. Same pain. I had just seen a Biodentical Dentist who said i should use a similar one by Arm & Hammer. I have been too sick to figure it out. I feel like I'm fading fast. Ive been on Bactrim DS for a year bc my sinuses are infected. Ive had bloody noses too since the mycotoxin exposure. What was the website name you mentioned?
I tested positive for 2 nasal diseases, one was Mast Cell disease. My husband died in Aug, he had this very bad & developed MS, which I read it can cause MS & cancer in a study. He had a stem cell replacement, but he wasn't treated properly for the mold toxins. Thank you for your work. Much Love
Sorry to hear about your husband. I believe I'm in a similar situation. I have developed one autoimmune condition but have also had the unusual symptoms of MS. My condo is old with mold issues. I've lived here for five years and have been sick for over three years now. it started with leaky gut. I currently feel as if I'm dying and need hospice- it's that bad. Hopefully, I can get well soon. How long was your husband dealing with mold toxicity before he passed away?
Were either of you ever tested for Lyme and co infections of? I am terribly sorry for the loss of your husband. I could not imagine such heartbreak. I am currently struggling with CIRS from confirmed mold toxicity via ERMI test, myself. I wouldn't have found out what was killing me, had it not been for the wonderful team at the Amen Clinic in Reston VA. Best wishes for a hopeful and healthy recovery.
How did you test/ get diagnosed for mast cell nasal disease? Im curious what those symptoms are bc when im in mold I have severe allergic reaction, nose congestion, swelling eyes, sore itchy throat, etc
@jamiestanley7494 Im in a similar situation but was fortunately able to get out of the mold recently. Years of MS symptoms and other developed illnesses.
Hi I’m 100% positive I have severe mold toxicity. Life threatening severe. The ER has done nothing I’ve had multiple anaphylactic shocks to food I can tolerate all my life. The ER is useless. Literally said nothing is wrong and I’m visibly dying my labs show I’m dying can I have an appt with you though I live in other state?
I wish I had a happy Amen Clinic story to share. Unfortunately, they wanted to put me on 5 meds and my son on 3. I had brain inflammation caused by tick illness, and mold illness (neither of which they diagnosed). I also had post concussion syndrome, and my son has a TBI. Can honestly say, Amen Clinic was a waste of time and money. We have both received TMS therapy, and it was phenomenal. We both highly recommend TMS, and do not recommend Anen Clinic unless you are a celebrity.
Lab of high molds within. Had a house with mold hidden behind the tile in shower and I do have the mold gene. You are speaking my language. My Func Med Dr did not prescribe binders with the detox plan. Thank You
Thank you for this information. My husband, 10 year old daughter and I are currently living in a toxic nightmare ourselves. We had a reoccurring leak at our apartment that they would never fix until it didn’t stop on its own last year. After they opened 6 holes in our wall, our 12 year old cat died of pneumonia like symptoms and my husband’s symptoms have worsened greatly. We finally put it all together that there IS mold inside the walls. Our vents look like they have mold as well. But we are at a loss of what to do because our apartments will not help us (we have emailed the assistant manager and corporate) and they just ignore us or tell us that soot sometimes gets into the vents.
I have the same situation. Living in my NYC apt, it's ashame. As rents went up and was priced out of 2 Apts. After having leaks for over 5 yrs in bathroom, asking landlord to fix it correctly hadnt worked. He's FINALLY fixed the actual leak and told the man upstairs he can't pour BUCKETS of water on floor when mopping....(knocking on wood) no more water seeping from ceiling. BUT our super accidentally let me see the inside of the bathroom walls.omg it was absolutely BLACKER than black. I am feeling as if I am dying in this apt and I don't know what to do. I do not have renter's insurance, and I can't imagine what type of lawyer to look for. Not to mention I can't even think correctly, I can't think of w'falling asleep too much, as I am right now. I apologize.But Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Many blessings sent....
@@bkbekka3039 What State is this? I know that you DO NOT need to hire an attorney. There are laws protecting renters. Call your local Tenants Rights, either City or County. They will help you. It's not a cost to Renters, that's the law. Most Landlords think they can scare you away from mold, water damage, replacing appliances, pest control, ants 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 etc. .. when in fact they are all the responsibilities of your Landlord. If they don't want to be advertised in say, the NEWS, they should pay up. Pay for a place to stay while they remediate. The Tenants Right ppl know when an attorney is needed and usually find a pro Bono for you. Best of all good things coming to you . ❤ All paid by your Landlord. Tenants Rights. Find them, call them, its that serious.
Mu son and o live in a place that is full of black mold along with the central air and moisture under the house abdvin the walls ,cabinets closets. We usve a great manybother medical problems abd this is bad. We are having tremendous problems. The landlord is 86 y/o and refuses to acknowledge thr problem.The place is beyond fixing.and brca7se I am on Social Security I vant find a place to live that I can afford . I live in a humid town in the deep south. I just revoked hospice because I had started doing better till I moved here months ago now zi am having migraine heaches ,stomach problems respiratory issues ,fatigue etc abd my son is having major problems also .I really don't know what to do. Note. 3 weeks later My grandson was just admitted to the hospital with necrotic pneumonia in his L lung that they said is bad and he's had for awhile He lived here also and they told us we have to get out away from t y e mold Thought about calling the housing authorities but hear they don't do anything The damage here is infixable Black Mold.
Mold and sewer gas! Omg! I had some mold and sewer gas in my house and was literally sent to the ER due to the left side of my body, from the top of my head to my toes, kept going numb!!! Within a week of them fixing the issue, I started feeling better.
@@sannamuh985 company was sent to clean mold in basement, not sure what they did. Plumber did a smoke test on pipes to see where it'd come out at. A pipe was found that did not have a cap on it, sewer gas was emitting. They capped it and it's been fine.
@@SkedgySky yea and now almost 40 days out of the house, I feel amazing. My skin is clearing. The gluten insensitivity/gut issues are lessening. I have energy 🥲☺️ I was so tired I thought I was slowly dying.
please, god please show us what you see in RECOVERED patients. This is never talked about or addressed and Id love to hear of healing and people getting their lives back. Do people make full recoverys??
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!! Wish you lots of healing!
This is what I came here for. I hear many stories about people getting severely ill or dying but no one can share their story about their road to recovery?
Yes recovery happens. I recovered years ago and got better where I was normal and no longer sensitive or sick. Then I moved into a new apartment with a crawl space to save on rent, and got sick again after 5 years there, so am working the process again.
@@athens31415 thank u for sharing and giving us some hope! How long were you on treatment until you were finally normal? So sorry to hear you’ve gotten sick again! Praying that you will get well soon!!
@@carom3597 Thank you! It takes about a year, but I do start feeling much better in 3 months or so (provided I found a new clean environment to stay in). It’s sooo important to keep up treatment though even when you’re feeling better, there’s still residual stuff that might not give you noticible symptoms. Regular urine mycotoxin testing will be your guide along treatment!
I am so glad to come across your site. Thank God, I am not making this up. My MD dismiss me, and tells me i would be really sick if I had mold illness. My condo wall, the left exposed 7 mos), the insulation was black slimy mold for I don't have how long. I have neuropathy in my feet, unstable balance and all those symptoms you previosly showed.
If I lived in an apartment or condo and thought it had mold I'd be up all night with a sledge hammer. I was in an apartment I ripped apart. Mold and sewer gas. White mold and mushrooms growing g under bathroom subfloor. After I remediated it, landlord tried to raise the rent. .. I called state health. She basically was not allowed to since she didn't do the fix.
For context in the video I shot is a piece of clean electrical tape and I put my thumb print on it trying to show how when I touch something it instantly gets moldy/dirty and I accidentally recorded this
One time out of nowhere i started waking up feeling really crappy. Very lethargic, powerful and weird all day back stiffness that felt good to stretch, and just feeling off way off. Im very strict w my routine and diet, i spent a week trying to figure out what the heck the deal was but nothing. Until one day it popped into my mind that at the end of last summer id seen something that looked like mold in the window ac, and the symptoms had lined up with when i began using it again that year. It blew directly on me at night. When i got home i looked and sure enough there was a bunch in there.. I immediately removed it and got a new one, the next day i felt fine and have ever since. Crazy! Its a super sneaky illness
"There are currently no FDA-approved laboratory tests for mycotoxins. Keep in mind that two people may have similar levels of exposure to toxins but very different capacities to detoxify from them. Mar 4, 2021"
Hmmmm. Sounds like a crime. $$$$$$$ in medicine- no detection of the #1 health damage culprit? Bean protocol. Methylation. After high motility ( gut and colon) then binders- consistency is massively important. If you want toxins out- you have to be evacuating 1-2x daily. Testing is great. If you don’t have $ to do this- there are many videos on mold detox on yt. How valuable is you health? Must be out of the moldy environment.
I have been to the Amen Clinic in Reston Va. but it has been quite awhile. In May I had seizures after a fall (have had many falls over the yrs) Amen Clinic in Reston put me on anti-seizure Triliptal but present psychiatrist Malhotra took me off of it; then I had 2 seizures after fall hitting left forehead on brick walkway.
Thank you for reaching out. If you'd like to follow-up with Amen Clinics Washington D.C. located in Reston, VA, here is the information: www.amenclinics.com/locations/washington-dc-metro-area/
I dealt with mold toxicity for almost 4 yrs before I could find out what was making me sick I also ended up on psychiatric meds for depression bipolar and manic episodes which I had never had before since I have moved I feel a lot better but still have a ways to go even after a yr of trying to recover mold almost killed me my advice if you can get rid of the mold and the problem that caused it which is moisture or leaks get rid of it if not move if you can because your symptoms will only get worse 😢
I blow leaves as they fall further than my yard. Surrounded by 8 acres of woods and after 3 years drought we had 3 months of rain and lower temps than average summer temps. It's been TERRIBLE! I JUST DX WITH NEURO LYME, AND endocarditis from the bacteria of Lyme, and just did urine yesterday for mold toxicity.
So how does one go about removing mold colonies from the nose, gut, and blood other than routine cleaning? I have presented nearly every symptom displayed here and it's taken a tremendous toll on my brain, but I can't afford to see a doctor let alone several specialists. I just don't have that luxury (yes, I live in the U.S.)
It's tragic when one's life is turned upside down by this and they develop life long mold sensitivity. I smell it in every environment but more importantly feel headachey, confused, terrible brain fog when exposed. Can you ever get de-sensitized or is it life long?
Great presentation I had severe mould toxicity several years ago and I found There’s a fabulous way to scan for internal mold in your system - look up natural fulvic vitality Bioresonance for humans - all you have to do is send a hair sample off and it will results tell you if you have mould in your system along with it also telling you if you have bacteria, virus’s poisons and toxins. The therapy helps body to detox so well worth looking at it 💫
If you dye or color your hair, avoid a spot in the back below the crown where hair grows faster and thicker and less prone to thinning. Keep it clean a couple months to get a clean root and follicle.
If you think mold could be the problem get an allergy test. It will tell the doctor if your body is reaction to mold or fungus. The doctor has to do this test first before they can advance to further testing. They have to justify doing a mycotoxins urine analysis or the MARCoNS nose swab.
Great video. Thank you! I’m suffering massive vertigo cannot balance or walk can’t get treated by conventional doctors! Disgusting my life is going! I need help!
I had some tests done; stool sample and urine Mytotoxin test done. I have had chronic constant sinus pain and IBS like symptoms. My functional Dr. Tells me I have mold, the parasite giardia, as well as a gluten sensitivity. She has me on cellcore products; CT Minerals, TUDCA, para 3, zinc, a bio toxin binder, and pills that help with digestion. And she has me eating lean meats and mostly vegetables and some fruits. Am I on the right path? This is costing a lot of money, and I’m not sure I’m really feeling any better, I’m about 1 month in. Please help. I cannot take this anymore. Pain and discomfort for 20 years. Please help, if anyone can. I’m broken and can’t even play with my young children due to the fatigue and head pain. Please someone chime in. I’m defeated.
Before attending my gym yesterday, Planet Fitness, it was hot outside, 75 plus degrees, then it rained and got really cool 60ish degrees. I walk into the gym, extremely humid, no AC, only slow moving fans, so I sweat easily while seeming to easily feel the moister from other people's sweat in the air, while I breath. About an hour or so later, the AC is now on at the gym, fulll blast. I'm like, "OK, that's good, less moister." I go outside, now it's really much colder. I get home, sore throat, slight cough, I think, "pneumonia weather" as my aunt would say. The next day, I think, "I need a COVID test, I'm ill, feeling irritated in my neck and top chest area. I go to my job. I avoid coffee, then I drink coffee. It seemingly helps then I eat chocolate. It seemingly helps. Then later after work while at home I think, "mole spores from the gym", However, eaarlier un the day, before work, , I try cough medicine, then after work, Alka seltzer severe cold, and acetaminophen. I also take a benadryl as I'm finding this video. Your research and information shared is a God send. Psychologically, I'm feeling much better already. Sweet tea from Popeyes also seemingly helped. I will keep drinking water and detoxing. You're AMAZING! Keep up your great work! & Thanks a million! 😊🥰
Im using L- Glutathione, Methylene Blue and a bunch more supplements. I just received my Cholestramine powder. It's a Binder to Mycotoxins, mold and anything that doesn't belong in your body.
Mine was. It was a compound. But I've seen it not compounded too. I'm confused now bc some are saying no "detox"???? I'm Lyme Disease immune suppressed. Another good one my LLND sold me is GI Detox + By Biocidin Botanicals Hope this helps. Write me back if you want more information ❤
@@etphonehome4511 one important thing, if you use Bentonite ~ Never use a metal spoon or container. When metal comes in contact with Bentonite it deactivates it. So use any plastic measuring devices and paper or any non metal to mix measure and apply if not your fingers. Glass, clean hands paper or any plastic is fine. 😉 I'm listening to the video in background and I have the fear of terror 24/7. She saying DANGER. That'd happening to me. I hope you are not as bad as me. 🙏🏻✨️💛💚
@@etphonehome4511 I hope I answered your question. My brain is quickly becoming more and more difficult to think, remember, work and I am completely alone in this except for my faith in God. *Don't ask a regular Western Medicine Physician, see a "Functional doctor" or a Naturopathic who has been trained in immune disorders and mold exposure who know how to treat this and how to prescribe Cholestyramine for you. Otc: Activated charcoal. Bentonite clay in powder form. I wrote about not using a metal spoon to mix etc. .. Have you been exposed and feeling the symptoms they're describing here? Its super confusing to experience. I'm so grateful for Amen Clinic's 🙏🏻 I had learned about Dr. Amen after I got Lyme Disease infected and was supposed to get a brain SPECT from him 7 years ago. I regret that I was talked out of going by well meaning close friend who had been dealing with Lyme Disease much longer than I had. I don't know why but I haven't used my Cholestyramine binder. I used it 5 years ago with no problems and it helped. Today I'm in a different situation where I am supposed to move out of the house I'm living in ~ per my Naturopath who is treating my Lyme Disease. When my blood test came back positive for every strain they tested & one was "Off the charts" My physicians want me to move out asap, and so do I. I have not been able to find anyone who will help me. I'm in 6th month of living in a house filled with Mycotoxins. I feel like I'm being poisoned to death. .. The rate of "ending life" is extremely high for the chronic immune suppressed that are stuck in chronic conditions creating chronic illnesses that feel like death anyway. However, I truly believe in a complete healing of both Lyme Disease and Mold Mycotoxin illness if given the chance of living in a mold free, stress free ( I'm being bullied to death here) Literally being screamed and yelled at plus threatened on a daily basis. I want my once beautiful life back. The Cholestyramine I've been prescribed is a compound and was only at a pharmacy in Boston, Hopkinton. They are now in Texas, I have the name, - just can't recall offhand. Here's the website of my Naturopaths and m.d. Sfpmg.com They said they are taking new patients from out of area via phone or face time. I'm rooting for you 👍🏻
I'm - at this very moment - ....just... look I'm "in it" - and multigenerationally-so. I live with my dad in his mother's house. My Nanna lived here and developed alzheimers, my father lived here most of his life and in addition to now showing signs of early onset dementia - he is a posterchild for behavioral codependency personality disorders... which leads him to gaslite the shit out of me all the time regarding the mold. I have lived here intermittenly my whole life, but never full time as i have now been for the past 3-4 years. I know a water pipe broke in the past and a mold remediatin specialist came out, and I know that rain water gets under the house. I also have documented the various kinds of mold (pink/red and brown/black) growing in every room, on every air vent, as well as (seemingly) all the drains. Having dealt with mental disorders my who life I know when something foreign is altering my state. I'm going to shut up now and get to the point: the space of mycology seems totally out of reach to the average consumer. I cant find any information on what if any public services (even if only informational) are out there. We're poor. Are there any options for me? I found a bad growth yesterday and cleaned it... immediately shat myself and passed out. I woke up and can smelll fucking cheese and im watching my cat die from this. Im dying. I'm demonstrating rock-solid mental health by clacking this into a youtube comment box. I need advice. I have no money.
In all seriousness, do y'all need a test subject? I am experiencing - without exception- every single symptom mentioned in this video. Multiple generations who lived in this house have issues that can be traced to mold. I am aware that this is a "controversial" subject (ie: because anything that would alter the profit model of big pharma is off limits by default by virtue of their funding a nontrivial portion of research grants... tangent) which is why I think I may have useful data because the mold here is very low-key and flares up seasonally, but remains hidden (for the most part).... as I imagine is the case in many homes. Depression, anxiety, ADHD numbers keep going up, I can assure you that the mold here has DRASTICALLY worsened my disordrs and has caused a few new ones to develop - for instanc, I only exhale. Full stop.
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!! Wish you lots of healing!
@@ericeric9208AMAZING.. THIS COMMENT NEEDS ITS OWN SECTION TO BE FOUND RIGHT UPFRONT WHEN GOOGLING MOLD. AND IN THIS COMMENT SECTION. AS ALL NEED SN IMMEDIATE REMEDY WHILE THEY PLAN REMEDIATION. OR NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD IT, CAN START THIS. IVE DONE THIS , BUT WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THE DRAIN AND PRODUCT MODELS. FABULOUS!!! ITS JUST KIND IF PART OF MY LIFE, IN MY TOUTINE. IT WAS A HASSLE AT FIRST AND SEEMED OVERWHELMONG, BUT ONCE SET UP, ITS JUDT LIKE MAKING YA MORNING COFFEE. MINDLESS .. BUT THE MOST LIFE IMPROVING MINDLESS ACTIVITY YOU CAN FLOAT THROUGH.
This is a really important topic. However, the sound volume was really low and I couldn't turn it up so it was hard to hear. Not sure if it was my problem.
Interesting…I’ve had mycotoxin illness from mold & Lyme for decades (finally treating them now), but I have super high dopamine levels. Complicated issue for sure!
I have the same thing. My naturopath said my body is doing the ‘tryptophan steal’ - using tryptophan to help fight the mold, before it can become a neurotransmitter assistant. That’s not the best explanation, but if you look up tryptophan steal it will explain properly.
Hi Lisa. The high dopamine levels that you would see on a organic acid urine test are most often present due to fusaric acid ( a mold metabolite) that blocks DBH. With DBH blocked you have trouble converting dopamine to epinephrine and norepinephrine. The result is hyper focus and OCD from dopamine overload in the pre frontal cortex while simultaneously having no energy.
So the acids test is not generally covered right? Is that where I’d start in finding out if I have high dopamine levels? I have molds in my house and am planning on moving. But am so debilitated and have brain fog, no energy etc. which makes ANY decision difficult!
I also have super high dopamine levels, but it’s genetic for me (have a constellation of SNPs that lead to this). Might be something worth checking out.
I am observing this right now real time with two household people and a dog. They have all the symptoms. The toilet had the most black mold under the rim. Second place was shower. Ceilings and walls not so much. The washer is low water use one an also is a breeding ground. The people here have been exposed to it for 8 years now. The mental symptoms are most apparent. The one just had a liver problem. How ever both drink beer in excess. Both the humans and dog exhibit extreme anger at times. Dog is on meds for allergies. I see one main problem the bath room has no ventilation and door is kept closed. I tried to express this. But it's useless the brains are gone to far. Thank You for this video so much! Best thing for me it remove myself as soon as I can from this environment.
What happens when some people misdiagnosed for mold have had such serious cases of lung disfunción, were they have been brought the ER almost dead and have been revived care but the problem persists.
Dear Dr. Cornish i was exposed to black mold in 2015 i started with a cough then trouble breathing this increased for ,,3 months until i had alot of trouble breathingii went to the hospital where i was dx with aspergillus for the next 14 months i was hospitalized 10 different times with pneumonia and other bacterial and viral infections. Then in jan of 2017 my airway and bilateral bronchi all collapsed since then all the cartilage in my body is being eaten inhave chronic pain and chronic horrible fatigue visual changes bad depression leaky gut infections high SED rate in my bloodwork memory loss insomnia anxiety sensitive to smells light foods lots of allergic reactions my quality of life if about zero. I am desperate for help
So if you have mold toxicity... Are there any labs that will be out of wack? Like eosinophils? ESR? CRP? Just wondering if there is a quick way at the primary doctor to check for this. Thank you in advance!!!
thats funny you say that, those are three biomarkers that i tested off the charts for!!!!! pretty sure its cause ive been sleeping in a moldy enviroment for years!!!! fml
Is it recommended to throw out your belongings if your home has mold? Some stuff would seem irriplaceable such as a child's favourite stuffy etc. Is there a way to clean belongins that have been in a home that has mold, but no actual mold on the items.
I don’t know if it’s too late to comment but I stumbled upon this video because I am convinced that I have more toxicity, I need to know what kind of physician I need to see about this and if there’s a test to diagnose mold toxicity?
Amazingly helpful, thanks for sharing that. Do you have an air filter type that you'd recommend, once remediation has been done in the home? Do ozone generators help?
To try and clarify, if you dont have CIRS you can still have biological problems from mold but if you have CIRS you have the chronic inflammatory response syndrome ON TOP of mold toxicity? Like a double whammy?
Mold prevents limited supply of oxygen and causes amense dehydration, as an adolescent drinking enough daily water helps...all these symptoms 18:24 make concentration and activity extremely difficult.
Thank you, very well explained for me to understand more about this condition 🙏 I have stated with a Zeolite Labs approach as they have a new theory/approach
I have been struggling with ME/CFS for years, had histoplasmosis, very exposed to black mold and got sick, and currently exposed to it. I'm being worked up for Sjogren's; don't know if that's related. NO doctors to turn to where I live and I'm in a wheelchair and have no transportation to the city. Just sick all the time.
It might. Mold has caused me to have extremely dry hands, eyes, mouth, etc., despite drinking 2-3 liters of water a day. That and countless other neurological and psychiatric symptoms.

Can mold cause interstitial cystitis and chronic abdominal issues. Gallbladder infection appendicitis, adenomyosis and fibroids in uterus. 1 year after moving out of an apartment I begain to have constant panic and anxiety attacks. I lost wait and the fear was so bad I felt like I was going to die. A year later I found out I had a chronic gallbladder infection, year later hysterectomy and another year later appendix surgery. Then I was diagnosed with having chronic gastritis and soon after interstitial cystitis. I was a heathy person overall and all these conditions and problems happened all of a sudden. Could this be related to mold illiness. Also I have nutritional defiencies. Yeast and fungal overgrowth. Diagnosed with anexity and depression. Any info if mold could have caused my medical problems. Thank you
I suffered from mold toxicity and it attacked my immune system. It also attacked my liver which affected my gallbladder so I have gallstones. I also have yeast overgrowth and was low in vit. D, B, and iron. Mold can attack different parts of your body so I would get that checked out if I were you! Sadly regular doctors don't care enough to look into it. Find yourself a Naturopathic doctor!
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!! Wish you lots of healing!
Cared for, I have all that too. I had surgery on my bladder today for cystitis, I have just found out I have chronic kidney disease and elevated liver function, IBS, diverticulosis, high blood pressure and I more and I have been trying to tell my roommate his home that I live in too is loaded with mold. We even had leaks where the floors were wet for weeks. I pray you get answers and feel better soon.
This is such good information. My immune system is low and after having covid I strongly believe mold is the reason I haven’t been able to heal faster. We had a leak in our plumbing system under the home, even though it has been fixed I’m sure it left behind some sort of mold because a few months after the musty sewer smell lingered. I’m working on trying to get out of this lease and home. Is there anything I can do to help myself and my family until I get out of this place ?
U have rights These will vary by state Landlords have to provide a safe living environment They should be able to terminate the lease due to liability If plumbing was fixed request a mold test swab and air to make sure it was remediated I just went through this If they dont comply you could sue Best of luck
Is there hope ? Been to 67 doctors .. no help.. lethargic , aged 100 years.. is there anything I can take to stop mold and candida who colonized me apparently ?

There are essentially no good mold inspectors out there - mainly because the most sensitive mold detection systems are the human body, no test has ever been able to come close to both accurate and sensitive thresholds.
The title is suggesting that mold damaged people are basically mentally ill and that mold exposure made their neuropsychiatric pre-existing condition worse. Which is just distracting from reality.
Can any of this cause blood in urine?? I just left Emergency Department I have blood in my urine now But no infection Bladder hurts all the time-urethra My 17 year old son is having same symptoms of frequent urinating and pain
Last spring my son and I had to tear down an old backyard shed because it had mold. Within a few days we BOTH had bladder infections. His went away in a few days while mine lingered on for weeks and to this day ( 6 months later) it still feels like it is slightly there. I have urethral discomfort and pain and urine urgency that I never had before we knocked that shed down. I suspect there is mold behind my bedroom wall as I smell a musty smell in there too.
@@donnadhennin mine actually ended up being C-Diff infection For you I suggest taking some natural anti fungal spices Make some teas Research which ones are best for getting rid of mold in the body and urinating tract
What can I do to support my body when I can’t remove the mold, or leave my home - Stachybotrys off the charts behind 2 walls. I’ve been tested, neuro and cognitive impairments recently started. My house has been tested, I don’t have the means for remediation, or to move, and I cant sell my house. Is there anything I can be doing while I’m looking for a healthy place to live? Thank you.
did u find a solution? i would suppose a dehumidifier/air purifier might help...and asking someone else to try clean the mold off with those anti-mold sprays
You must get out of the house. Ask family, friends, church connections. Start taking vitamins, minerals. Find an Osteopathic physician. Offer to do any work you can, in exchange for treatments. You can die from this problem.
@@EspritArkitekt Thank you. You’re correct, thank you for your advice, I appreciate it very much. My friend said he might do a Go Fund Me to help raise donations for mold remediation and medical expenses. Thanks again for speaking out for me.
@@Lynore_Marie ur most welcome Lenore. in the end if this GoFundMe doesn't work out & u can't afford a professional to clean up. maybe that friend or another wouldn't mind scrubbing it off for u while u stay somewhere else for a few days to let the house breathe? they could buy 1 of those suits from the home depot store that painters & handymen wear, it goes over ur clothes & shoes & head, an industrial face mask to prevent them breathing in the mold & toxic fumes from the mold remover spray & safety goggles so the spores wont enter their eyes. that would seem like the easiest/cheapest way to at least try resolve the problem, depending on how much mold there is in the whole house. but the air purifier will really help once you've cleaned up the mold especially. i'm trying to find an affordable one myself as i have asthma & an allergy to mold already and my landlord keeps downplaying the mold & all the doctors i've been to surprisingly aren't even aware of toxic black mold! O.O they just want to prescribe me a basic nasal spray coz the insides of my nostrils have been permanently swollen since corona started (when i first had the mold problem), so i'm basically breathing through 1/4 of my nose. i live in a coastal city so it's humid all year round, but worse in the winter months, plus there's a leak under the kitchen sink. this problem really does start to make u go insane, coz when u come home after a long day at work u want to feel relaxed & comfortable, but instead u face another massive stress & sleeping it off isn't even an option. can i ask u, do u also experience a very sore throat especially when u wake up? waking up is the worst feeling for me coz my lungs feels so compressed & crackle & i'm constantly having to take my inhalers, which saddens me coz i trained my body not to need my inhalers like 18 years ago & i only need them if im sick or have an allergy to something, but now im taking them everyday and to make that worse the doctors in this coutnry wont even prescribe me my inhalers so my friend abroad sends me hers, ridiculous & negligent
Amen Clinics saved my life after suffering from mold illness for 15 years. Mainstream doctors made everything worse by misdiagnosing me and medicating me into oblivion. I had a bad reaction to one of the meds which gave me short term amnesia for several months... lost my job, bank took my car and my house. I was homeless during the pandemic. I finally got some money from my house and went to Amen in Seattle. They knew what I needed and now, 2 years later, I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life at 39.

Thank you, for sharing! I 💯 understand, almost to an exact T, your story. I have my upcoming history/zoom appointment on the 12th. I've lost 2 jobs, a 3 1/2 relationship, nearly my car, but mold costing me the roof over my head managed to help save that. I barely have 2 (now very distant) friends left, out of several. I have completely been stripped of me, especially in this past year in a half.
Thank you, again!
I went through mold sickness, manifested some neuropsychiatric symptoms, got myself to an Osteopathic physician, took a series of nutritional
IV’s , & got well very rapidly!
Dealing with this now. What ivs did they give you?
Any recommendations a great Osteopathic Dr
Did you do glutathione and Myers?
Ozone?
did the mold finally kill u? u haven't replied to anyone's comments & i wanna know if u got cured this way whilst still living in a moldy environment or after moving out?
Thank You, Dr. Cornish, for producing this video. We have lived this nightmare after my son was exposed to black mold during a summer session at college. It took years to be validated. The journey can almost destroy the heart and soul of a person and their caretaker when there is little to no understanding or validation from the medical world. family, and friends. Thank You, your willingness to understand and your work is a blessing to many. Praying for you and you patients. ❤️
This video is a phenomenal explanation of what can happen when exposed to toxic mold.
Absolutely! Thank you Dr. Cornish! ❤️ Every symptom you described, putting mold toxicity, "At the top of my list, well or close to the top of my list...". I believe that's close to how you said it. I have and have been experiencing on/off for years. I've never been this sick though. My old static socks, let's just say they've manifested into entire body electrical voltage like jolts. When those electric like currants, LIKE LIGHTNING BOLTS, that's exactly how I've been describing it to my family for about a year now. My entire body jumps up off couch and it's as terrifying to my as it is painful!!! It's like lightning shooting from our of my fingers and toes!!! It hurts, but I really can't describe the kind of pain cause it's more scary almost than it is hurting. My heart just starts racing and I feel this well like electric highly intense shock throughout my whole body and in my heart even too. That's nothing compared to the overwhelming over heating of my body, and or the rest of my MAIN SYMPTOMS.
Thank you, again, too.
Thank you for this my 15 year old son has been dealing with many of the symptoms discussed. They keep treating him as strictly psychological with drugs which haven't helped. Anger, delerium, mood swings, unsteady gate. This has come on so fast since moving into an historic home with known mold issues. The medical community has blown me off repeatedly but I can't overlook this.
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!!
Wish you lots of healing!
I'm believed by all Medical Community
You deserve the right help ❤
Sorry for the typos 😕
@@carolynhamilton9728I think you were very eloquent 😁
This is the absolute BEST presentation I’ve seen on this topic. It’s so interesting how mold and benzodiazepines effect the brain and body similarly.
l.o.l.
What do you mean benzos and mold are similar?
😳 I think yer on to something.
@@perfectly22smith38the symptoms you get from benzo withdrawal is similar to the symptoms you get from mold exposure
Agreed!!
Excellent clarifying presentation on how mold toxicity can prevent us from healing our bodies completely. Chronic health issues that simply won’t go away will benefit from a consultation and preliminary testing in this area. I appreciate the information on mold toxicity and Alzheimers.
This was the most helpful explanation of Toxic Mold illness I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!
youtube algorithm brought your podcast to me and I feel so relieved. I have been sick almost all my life and never knew why and never got very well. I recently moved into a house with toxic mold and I have gotten very sick. Now I know, my life long sickness was from mold sensitivity. I found an NP who specializes in similar things as you. I have been diagnosed with CIRS. I will be moving soon from the moldy house and the very humid climate to a desert region with low dew points. With the help of the NP and the single digit dew points, I am anticipating to start feeling better. This moldy house is even affecting my dog and cat. I have not come across very many MD's who have a grasp of the mold issues, but you sure do! I subscribed and I hope you keep sharing videos.
Hi did your NP diagnose you with Cirs?
Like all of you out there, im going through this mold toxticity too.
Numbess in hands and feet, lethargy, stomach pain, dizziness, heart palpitations, joint pain.
Diatomaceous earth, undeclyenic acid, digestive enzymes helping so far
Watch podcast by Dr Neil Nathan for more about treatment. Also Sinusitis Wellness website has an excellent ENT doctor who is the expert on nasal colonization by mold and has a blog on how to treat it at home. You gotta get it out of your sinuses or you will never get well even in a clean environment.
@@athens31415 well not sure if it was candida or mild in mine but mine are all clear after 15 years but fybromyalgia 24/7 lingers on found out I have Asperger's add eds so I don't have detox pathways as others but unsure if it's mold
@@athens31415 I know its stuck in my sinuses now, thanks for your help.
My 1st exposure was a small exposure although I am treating Lyme Disease and have a low immune system.
This 2nd exposure is far worse.
My Naturopath said to use an OTC Xlear nasal spray, all natural and has Grapefruit seed extract - which is a well known "antibiotic like " supplement
I used it and it burned my sinuses and my eyes.
I tried using it for a week. Same pain.
I had just seen a Biodentical Dentist who said i should use a similar one by Arm & Hammer.
I have been too sick to figure it out.
I feel like I'm fading fast.
Ive been on Bactrim DS for a year bc my sinuses are infected.
Ive had bloody noses too since the mycotoxin exposure.
What was the website name you mentioned?
How did you take diatomaceous earth food grade mix in water or put in clear capsules? Thank you
@@dionperez7780 ok... a year later. I won't do d.e. anymore. Take lugols iodine, along with a mineral supplement. The body will heal itself
Dr. Cornish is THE BEST!
I tested positive for 2 nasal diseases, one was Mast Cell disease. My husband died in Aug, he had this very bad & developed MS, which I read it can cause MS & cancer in a study. He had a stem cell replacement, but he wasn't treated properly for the mold toxins. Thank you for your work. Much Love
Sorry to hear about your husband. I believe I'm in a similar situation. I have developed one autoimmune condition but have also had the unusual symptoms of MS. My condo is old with mold issues. I've lived here for five years and have been sick for over three years now. it started with leaky gut. I currently feel as if I'm dying and need hospice- it's that bad. Hopefully, I can get well soon. How long was your husband dealing with mold toxicity before he passed away?
Were either of you ever tested for Lyme and co infections of? I am terribly sorry for the loss of your husband. I could not imagine such heartbreak. I am currently struggling with CIRS from confirmed mold toxicity via ERMI test, myself. I wouldn't have found out what was killing me, had it not been for the wonderful team at the Amen Clinic in Reston VA.
Best wishes for a hopeful and healthy recovery.
How did you test/ get diagnosed for mast cell nasal disease? Im curious what those symptoms are bc when im in mold I have severe allergic reaction, nose congestion, swelling eyes, sore itchy throat, etc
@brittinipeck9189 hi there, Did Amen Clinic diagnose you with Cirs?
@jamiestanley7494 Im in a similar situation but was fortunately able to get out of the mold recently. Years of MS symptoms and other developed illnesses.
Hi I’m 100% positive I have severe mold toxicity. Life threatening severe. The ER has done nothing I’ve had multiple anaphylactic shocks to food I can tolerate all my life. The ER is useless. Literally said nothing is wrong and I’m visibly dying my labs show I’m dying can I have an appt with you though I live in other state?
Have watched this several times and refer clients family friends patients to this for months! Thank You
Thank you Dr Cornish for explaining this illness that answers a lot of questions!
I wish I had a happy Amen Clinic story to share. Unfortunately, they wanted to put me on 5 meds and my son on 3. I had brain inflammation caused by tick illness, and mold illness (neither of which they diagnosed). I also had post concussion syndrome, and my son has a TBI. Can honestly say, Amen Clinic was a waste of time and money. We have both received TMS therapy, and it was phenomenal. We both highly recommend TMS, and do not recommend Anen Clinic unless you are a celebrity.
Where did u get tms therapy
So since you and your son went there does this mean you are a celebrity 🤔
So how did they not help you ? How did you find out you have lyme ? How did you heal? How is your son today?😊
Such an important topic! Thank you for covering it.
I'd experienced and continue to experience some of these symptoms. Thank you for sharing.
You did a good job, Dr Eboni! Thank you. I will share this with my clients!!!
Living environment is very important as well.
This has been confirmation for me.
I will be contacting the Dr very soon.
I wish the all the GPs in my province could attend a lecture from this lady !
Lab of high molds within. Had a house with mold hidden behind the tile in shower and I do have the mold gene. You are speaking my language. My Func Med Dr did not prescribe binders with the detox plan. Thank You
THIS IS A WONDERFUL VIDEO. I WILL CONTACT YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! EVERYTHING YOU SAID MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.
Thank you for this information. My husband, 10 year old daughter and I are currently living in a toxic nightmare ourselves. We had a reoccurring leak at our apartment that they would never fix until it didn’t stop on its own last year. After they opened 6 holes in our wall, our 12 year old cat died of pneumonia like symptoms and my husband’s symptoms have worsened greatly. We finally put it all together that there IS mold inside the walls. Our vents look like they have mold as well. But we are at a loss of what to do because our apartments will not help us (we have emailed the assistant manager and corporate) and they just ignore us or tell us that soot sometimes gets into the vents.
You need to contact your renters insurance and a lawyer:
I hope you moved out of that apartment. It only gets worse!
I have the same situation. Living in my NYC apt, it's ashame. As rents went up and was priced out of 2 Apts. After having leaks for over 5 yrs in bathroom, asking landlord to fix it correctly hadnt worked. He's FINALLY fixed the actual leak and told the man upstairs he can't pour BUCKETS of water on floor when mopping....(knocking on wood) no more water seeping from ceiling. BUT our super accidentally let me see the inside of the bathroom walls.omg it was absolutely BLACKER than black. I am feeling as if I am dying in this apt and I don't know what to do.
I do not have renter's insurance, and I can't imagine what type of lawyer to look for. Not to mention I can't even think correctly, I can't think of w'falling asleep too much, as I am right now. I apologize.But
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Many blessings sent....
@@bkbekka3039 What State is this? I know that you DO NOT need to hire an attorney. There are laws protecting renters. Call your local Tenants Rights, either City or County.
They will help you.
It's not a cost to Renters, that's the law.
Most Landlords think they can scare you away from mold, water damage, replacing appliances, pest control, ants 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 etc. .. when in fact they are all the responsibilities of your Landlord.
If they don't want to be advertised in say, the NEWS, they should pay up.
Pay for a place to stay while they remediate.
The Tenants Right ppl know when an attorney is needed and usually find a pro Bono for you.
Best of all good things coming to you .
❤
All paid by your Landlord.
Tenants Rights.
Find them, call them, its that serious.
Mu son and o live in a place that is full of black mold along with the central air and moisture under the house abdvin the walls ,cabinets closets. We usve a great manybother medical problems abd this is bad. We are having tremendous problems. The landlord is 86 y/o and refuses to acknowledge thr problem.The place is beyond fixing.and brca7se I am on Social Security I vant find a place to live that I can afford . I live in a humid town in the deep south. I just revoked hospice because I had started doing better till I moved here months ago now zi am having migraine heaches ,stomach problems respiratory issues ,fatigue etc abd my son is having major problems also .I really don't know what to do.
Note. 3 weeks later
My grandson was just admitted to the hospital with necrotic pneumonia in his L lung that they said is bad and he's had for awhile
He lived here also and they told us we have to get out away from t y e mold
Thought about calling the housing authorities but hear they don't do anything
The damage here is infixable
Black Mold.
Mold and sewer gas! Omg! I had some mold and sewer gas in my house and was literally sent to the ER due to the left side of my body, from the top of my head to my toes, kept going numb!!! Within a week of them fixing the issue, I started feeling better.

This is what I came here for. I hear many stories about people getting severely ill or dying but no one can share their story about their road to recovery?
Yes recovery happens. I recovered years ago and got better where I was normal and no longer sensitive or sick. Then I moved into a new apartment with a crawl space to save on rent, and got sick again after 5 years there, so am working the process again.
@@athens31415 thank u for sharing and giving us some hope! How long were you on treatment until you were finally normal?
So sorry to hear you’ve gotten sick again! Praying that you will get well soon!!
@@carom3597 Thank you! It takes about a year, but I do start feeling much better in 3 months or so (provided I found a new clean environment to stay in). It’s sooo important to keep up treatment though even when you’re feeling better, there’s still residual stuff that might not give you noticible symptoms. Regular urine mycotoxin testing will be your guide along treatment!
Excellent presentation and information tysm!!!
Excellent presentation! Thank you 🙏
Wow. My life could have been saved if I'd found out I was mold toxic before drs poly drugged me into oblivion
I am so glad to come across your site. Thank God, I am not making this up. My MD dismiss me, and tells me i would be really sick if I had mold illness. My condo wall, the left exposed 7 mos), the insulation was black slimy mold for I don't have how long. I have neuropathy in my feet, unstable balance and all those symptoms you previosly showed.
Hi are you on a healing protocol?
If I lived in an apartment or condo and thought it had mold I'd be up all night with a sledge hammer.
I was in an apartment I ripped apart. Mold and sewer gas. White mold and mushrooms growing g under bathroom subfloor. After I remediated it, landlord tried to raise the rent. .. I called state health. She basically was not allowed to since she didn't do the fix.
For context in the video I shot is a piece of clean electrical tape and I put my thumb print on it trying to show how when I touch something it instantly gets moldy/dirty and I accidentally recorded this
One time out of nowhere i started waking up feeling really crappy. Very lethargic, powerful and weird all day back stiffness that felt good to stretch, and just feeling off way off. Im very strict w my routine and diet, i spent a week trying to figure out what the heck the deal was but nothing. Until one day it popped into my mind that at the end of last summer id seen something that looked like mold in the window ac, and the symptoms had lined up with when i began using it again that year. It blew directly on me at night. When i got home i looked and sure enough there was a bunch in there.. I immediately removed it and got a new one, the next day i felt fine and have ever since. Crazy! Its a super sneaky illness
"There are currently no FDA-approved laboratory tests for mycotoxins. Keep in mind that two people may have similar levels of exposure to toxins but very different capacities to detoxify from them. Mar 4, 2021"
Hmmmm. Sounds like a crime. $$$$$$$ in medicine- no detection of the #1 health damage culprit?
Bean protocol. Methylation. After high motility ( gut and colon) then binders- consistency is massively important.
If you want toxins out- you have to be evacuating 1-2x daily.
Testing is great. If you don’t have $ to do this- there are many videos on mold detox on yt. How valuable is you health? Must be out of the moldy environment.
I have been to the Amen Clinic in Reston Va. but it has been quite awhile. In May I had seizures after a fall (have had many falls over the yrs) Amen Clinic in Reston put me on anti-seizure Triliptal but present psychiatrist Malhotra took me off of it; then I had 2 seizures after fall hitting left forehead on brick walkway.
Thank you for reaching out. If you'd like to follow-up with Amen Clinics Washington D.C. located in Reston, VA, here is the information: www.amenclinics.com/locations/washington-dc-metro-area/
I dealt with mold toxicity for almost 4 yrs before I could find out what was making me sick I also ended up on psychiatric meds for depression bipolar and manic episodes which I had never had before since I have moved I feel a lot better but still have a ways to go even after a yr of trying to recover mold almost killed me my advice if you can get rid of the mold and the problem that caused it which is moisture or leaks get rid of it if not move if you can because your symptoms will only get worse 😢
I think it is necessary to alert people to the fact that outdoor molds are inhaled and they are in soil and leaf litter.
I blow leaves as they fall further than my yard. Surrounded by 8 acres of woods and after 3 years drought we had 3 months of rain and lower temps than average summer temps. It's been TERRIBLE!
I JUST DX WITH NEURO LYME, AND endocarditis from the bacteria of Lyme, and just did urine yesterday for mold toxicity.
@@candygarfield1479how were your results
So how does one go about removing mold colonies from the nose, gut, and blood other than routine cleaning? I have presented nearly every symptom displayed here and it's taken a tremendous toll on my brain, but I can't afford to see a doctor let alone several specialists. I just don't have that luxury (yes, I live in the U.S.)

If you dye or color your hair, avoid a spot in the back below the crown where hair grows faster and thicker and less prone to thinning. Keep it clean a couple months to get a clean root and follicle.
NAme the place pls
If you think mold could be the problem get an allergy test. It will tell the doctor if your body is reaction to mold or fungus. The doctor has to do this test first before they can advance to further testing. They have to justify doing a mycotoxins urine analysis or the MARCoNS nose swab.

Great video. Thank you! I’m suffering massive vertigo cannot balance or walk can’t get treated by conventional doctors! Disgusting my life is going! I need help!
How are you ?
I had some tests done; stool sample and urine Mytotoxin test done. I have had chronic constant sinus pain and IBS like symptoms. My functional Dr. Tells me I have mold, the parasite giardia, as well as a gluten sensitivity. She has me on cellcore products; CT Minerals, TUDCA, para 3, zinc, a bio toxin binder, and pills that help with digestion. And she has me eating lean meats and mostly vegetables and some fruits.
Am I on the right path? This is costing a lot of money, and I’m not sure I’m really feeling any better, I’m about 1 month in. Please help. I cannot take this anymore. Pain and discomfort for 20 years. Please help, if anyone can. I’m broken and can’t even play with my young children due to the fatigue and head pain. Please someone chime in. I’m defeated.
Dr. How can I see you, specifically?
Before attending my gym yesterday, Planet Fitness, it was hot outside, 75 plus degrees, then it rained and got really cool 60ish degrees. I walk into the gym, extremely humid, no AC, only slow moving fans, so I sweat easily while seeming to easily feel the moister from other people's sweat in the air, while I breath. About an hour or so later, the AC is now on at the gym, fulll blast. I'm like, "OK, that's good, less moister." I go outside, now it's really much colder. I get home, sore throat, slight cough, I think, "pneumonia weather" as my aunt would say. The next day, I think, "I need a COVID test, I'm ill, feeling irritated in my neck and top chest area. I go to my job. I avoid coffee, then I drink coffee. It seemingly helps then I eat chocolate. It seemingly helps. Then later after work while at home I think, "mole spores from the gym", However, eaarlier un the day, before work, , I try cough medicine, then after work, Alka seltzer severe cold, and acetaminophen. I also take a benadryl as I'm finding this video. Your research and information shared is a God send. Psychologically, I'm feeling much better already. Sweet tea from Popeyes also seemingly helped. I will keep drinking water and detoxing. You're AMAZING! Keep up your great work! & Thanks a million! 😊🥰

Thank you for this? How do you initially pick up on mold toxicity? Does it show up on a SPECT?
Yes. Look up Dr Daniel Amen & the Amen clinics.
In Springfield MA a courthouse was shut down because of cancer/ALS death causing mold? Currently under investigation. March 14 2022
Omg 😮, this mold issue is serious
Thank you so much for this informative video!
Im using L- Glutathione, Methylene Blue and a bunch more supplements.
I just received my Cholestramine powder.
It's a Binder to Mycotoxins, mold and anything that doesn't belong in your body.
is the cholestramine prescription only?
Mine was. It was a compound.
But I've seen it not compounded too.
I'm confused now bc some are saying no "detox"????
I'm Lyme Disease immune suppressed.
Another good one my LLND sold me is
GI Detox +
By Biocidin Botanicals
Hope this helps.
Write me back if you want more information ❤
@@etphonehome4511although I believe ALL are prescribed only
@@etphonehome4511 one important thing, if you use Bentonite ~
Never use a metal spoon or container. When metal comes in contact with Bentonite it deactivates it.
So use any plastic measuring devices and paper or any non metal to mix measure and apply if not your fingers.
Glass, clean hands paper or any plastic is fine. 😉
I'm listening to the video in background and I have the fear of terror 24/7.
She saying DANGER.
That'd happening to me.
I hope you are not as bad as me. 🙏🏻✨️💛💚
@@etphonehome4511 I hope I answered your question.
My brain is quickly becoming more and more difficult to think, remember, work and I am completely alone in this except for my faith in God.
*Don't ask a regular Western Medicine Physician, see a "Functional doctor" or a Naturopathic who has been trained in immune disorders and mold exposure who know how to treat this and how to prescribe Cholestyramine for you.
Otc: Activated charcoal.
Bentonite clay in powder form.
I wrote about not using a metal spoon to mix etc. ..
Have you been exposed and feeling the symptoms they're describing here?
Its super confusing to experience.
I'm so grateful for Amen Clinic's 🙏🏻
I had learned about Dr. Amen after I got Lyme Disease infected and was supposed to get a brain SPECT from him 7 years ago.
I regret that I was talked out of going by well meaning close friend who had been dealing with Lyme Disease much longer than I had.
I don't know why but I haven't used my Cholestyramine binder.
I used it 5 years ago with no problems and it helped.
Today I'm in a different situation where I am supposed to move out of the house I'm living in ~ per my Naturopath who is treating my Lyme Disease.
When my blood test came back positive for every strain they tested & one was "Off the charts"
My physicians want me to move out asap, and so do I.
I have not been able to find anyone who will help me.
I'm in 6th month of living in a house filled with Mycotoxins.
I feel like I'm being poisoned to death. ..
The rate of "ending life" is extremely high for the chronic immune suppressed that are stuck in chronic conditions creating chronic illnesses that feel like death anyway.
However, I truly believe in a complete healing of both Lyme Disease and Mold Mycotoxin illness if given the chance of living in a mold free, stress free ( I'm being bullied to death here)
Literally being screamed and yelled at plus threatened on a daily basis.
I want my once beautiful life back.
The Cholestyramine I've been prescribed is a compound and was only at a pharmacy in Boston, Hopkinton. They are now in Texas, I have the name, - just can't recall offhand.
Here's the website of my Naturopaths and m.d.
Sfpmg.com
They said they are taking new patients from out of area via phone or face time.
I'm rooting for you 👍🏻
I'm - at this very moment - ....just... look I'm "in it" - and multigenerationally-so. I live with my dad in his mother's house. My Nanna lived here and developed alzheimers, my father lived here most of his life and in addition to now showing signs of early onset dementia - he is a posterchild for behavioral codependency personality disorders... which leads him to gaslite the shit out of me all the time regarding the mold. I have lived here intermittenly my whole life, but never full time as i have now been for the past 3-4 years. I know a water pipe broke in the past and a mold remediatin specialist came out, and I know that rain water gets under the house. I also have documented the various kinds of mold (pink/red and brown/black) growing in every room, on every air vent, as well as (seemingly) all the drains. Having dealt with mental disorders my who life I know when something foreign is altering my state. I'm going to shut up now and get to the point: the space of mycology seems totally out of reach to the average consumer. I cant find any information on what if any public services (even if only informational) are out there. We're poor. Are there any options for me? I found a bad growth yesterday and cleaned it... immediately shat myself and passed out. I woke up and can smelll fucking cheese and im watching my cat die from this. Im dying. I'm demonstrating rock-solid mental health by clacking this into a youtube comment box. I need advice. I have no money.
In all seriousness, do y'all need a test subject? I am experiencing - without exception- every single symptom mentioned in this video. Multiple generations who lived in this house have issues that can be traced to mold. I am aware that this is a "controversial" subject (ie: because anything that would alter the profit model of big pharma is off limits by default by virtue of their funding a nontrivial portion of research grants... tangent) which is why I think I may have useful data because the mold here is very low-key and flares up seasonally, but remains hidden (for the most part).... as I imagine is the case in many homes. Depression, anxiety, ADHD numbers keep going up, I can assure you that the mold here has DRASTICALLY worsened my disordrs and has caused a few new ones to develop - for instanc, I only exhale. Full stop.
I’m going through this right now also! Look up on TH-cam “Nutrition with Judy” “Dr. Shoemaker Protocol “ for “CIRS” Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome. When I found Judy’s videos and information, everything started to make sense!!!
Wish you lots of healing!

@@buny0n that mold u describe is NOT low key. You literally need to gtfo there.

I had no issues.
Sounded loud to me, sorry
@@MishMacky I think I figured it out - will have to watch again.
I was going to say maybe a bit of water got on speaker. Happens to me when I e been out in the rain or have my phone in bathroom when showering.

Are you ok
@@truno7 I’m ok, but have disengaged from my family. The Lyme is bad! Thank you!
@@Tinyteacher1111 Stay strong
@@truno7 I’m trying and crying.
Interesting…I’ve had mycotoxin illness from mold & Lyme for decades (finally treating them now), but I have super high dopamine levels. Complicated issue for sure!
I have the same thing. My naturopath said my body is doing the ‘tryptophan steal’ - using tryptophan to help fight the mold, before it can become a neurotransmitter assistant. That’s not the best explanation, but if you look up tryptophan steal it will explain properly.
Hi Lisa. The high dopamine levels that you would see on a organic acid urine test are most often present due to fusaric acid ( a mold metabolite) that blocks DBH. With DBH blocked you have trouble converting dopamine to epinephrine and norepinephrine. The result is hyper focus and OCD from dopamine overload in the pre frontal cortex while simultaneously having no energy.
@@kerrymckinnon8748 This is something I had not heard. Thanks
So the acids test is not generally covered right? Is that where I’d start in finding out if I have high dopamine levels?
I have molds in my house and am planning on moving. But am so debilitated and have brain fog, no energy etc. which makes ANY decision difficult!
I also have super high dopamine levels, but it’s genetic for me (have a constellation of SNPs that lead to this). Might be something worth checking out.
I am observing this right now real time with two household people and a dog. They have all the symptoms. The toilet had the most black mold under the rim. Second place was shower. Ceilings and walls not so much. The washer is low water use one an also is a breeding ground. The people here have been exposed to it for 8 years now. The mental symptoms are most apparent. The one just had a liver problem. How ever both drink beer in excess. Both the humans and dog exhibit extreme anger at times. Dog is on meds for allergies. I see one main problem the bath room has no ventilation and door is kept closed. I tried to express this. But it's useless the brains are gone to far.
Thank You for this video so much!
Best thing for me it remove myself as soon as I can from this environment.
Very well presented
What happens when some people misdiagnosed for mold have had such serious cases of lung disfunción, were they have been brought the ER almost dead and have been revived care but the problem persists.
Dear Dr. Cornish i was exposed to black mold in 2015 i started with a cough then trouble breathing this increased for ,,3 months until i had alot of trouble breathingii went to the hospital where i was dx with aspergillus for the next 14 months i was hospitalized 10 different times with pneumonia and other bacterial and viral infections. Then in jan of 2017 my airway and bilateral bronchi all collapsed since then all the cartilage in my body is being eaten inhave chronic pain and chronic horrible fatigue visual changes bad depression leaky gut infections high SED rate in my bloodwork memory loss insomnia anxiety sensitive to smells light foods lots of allergic reactions my quality of life if about zero. I am desperate for help
So if you have mold toxicity... Are there any labs that will be out of wack? Like eosinophils? ESR? CRP? Just wondering if there is a quick way at the primary doctor to check for this.
Thank you in advance!!!
None of the Shoemaker labs are drawn in a standard panel
@@JoelChristophel thank you. I was wondering!
thats funny you say that, those are three biomarkers that i tested off the charts for!!!!! pretty sure its cause ive been sleeping in a moldy enviroment for years!!!! fml
@@etphonehome4511 omg I'm sorry
Is it recommended to throw out your belongings if your home has mold? Some stuff would seem irriplaceable such as a child's favourite stuffy etc. Is there a way to clean belongins that have been in a home that has mold, but no actual mold on the items.
I don’t know if it’s too late to comment but I stumbled upon this video because I am convinced that I have more toxicity, I need to know what kind of physician I need to see about this and if there’s a test to diagnose mold toxicity?
Could this information be applied to yeast and Candida as well?
YES 100%!!!
EVERYONE SHOULD READ ALL COMMENTS. IT WILL KICKSTART YOUR RECOVERY.
Very helpful!
I want your contact info in hopes of being evaluated by Amen clinics.
🤞😘
Amazingly helpful, thanks for sharing that. Do you have an air filter type that you'd recommend, once remediation has been done in the home? Do ozone generators help?
Yes
Also medical hepa
Snd or propolis system
To try and clarify, if you dont have CIRS you can still have biological problems from mold but if you have CIRS you have the chronic inflammatory response syndrome ON TOP of mold toxicity? Like a double whammy?
That place is $2,000 to even walk through the door.
Which location?
Hello, I wonder of the loss of smell and taste so many experience in the last few years is mold or fungus related. What are your thoughts ?
I saw yesterday that mold in basement can get up to 2nd floor?
Mold prevents limited supply of oxygen and causes amense dehydration, as an adolescent drinking enough daily water helps...all these symptoms 18:24 make concentration and activity extremely difficult.
Do you have a reference for the Brown study? Thank you.
Thank you, very well explained for me to understand more about this condition 🙏 I have stated with a Zeolite Labs approach as they have a new theory/approach
Love this information! Presenter is amazing. But: you can’t say altimers for Alzheimer’s
Thank you very informative. Thanks.
I have been struggling with ME/CFS for years, had histoplasmosis, very exposed to black mold and got sick, and currently exposed to it. I'm being worked up for Sjogren's; don't know if that's related. NO doctors to turn to where I live and I'm in a wheelchair and have no transportation to the city. Just sick all the time.
It might. Mold has caused me to have extremely dry hands, eyes, mouth, etc., despite drinking 2-3 liters of water a day. That and countless other neurological and psychiatric symptoms.
I live in Tennessee and the apartment that I have been living in has caused health issues and I need help with who to call and get help from
I'm having serious health issues likely caused my mold. I live in TN also. Just curious what zip code your in?
Where and to what psychiatrist can I make an apt for living in toxic mold?

Can mold cause interstitial cystitis and chronic abdominal issues. Gallbladder infection appendicitis, adenomyosis and fibroids in uterus. 1 year after moving out of an apartment I begain to have constant panic and anxiety attacks. I lost wait and the fear was so bad I felt like I was going to die. A year later I found out I had a chronic gallbladder infection, year later hysterectomy and another year later appendix surgery. Then I was diagnosed with having chronic gastritis and soon after interstitial cystitis. I was a heathy person overall and all these conditions and problems happened all of a sudden. Could this be related to mold illiness. Also I have nutritional defiencies. Yeast and fungal overgrowth. Diagnosed with anexity and depression. Any info if mold could have caused my medical problems. Thank you
I suffered from mold toxicity and it attacked my immune system. It also attacked my liver which affected my gallbladder so I have gallstones. I also have yeast overgrowth and was low in vit. D, B, and iron. Mold can attack different parts of your body so I would get that checked out if I were you! Sadly regular doctors don't care enough to look into it. Find yourself a Naturopathic doctor!
Sounds like estrogen dominance

Cared for, I have all that too. I had surgery on my bladder today for cystitis, I have just found out I have chronic kidney disease and elevated liver function, IBS, diverticulosis, high blood pressure and I more and I have been trying to tell my roommate his home that I live in too is loaded with mold. We even had leaks where the floors were wet for weeks. I pray you get answers and feel better soon.
I had my gallbladder removed and a full hysterectomy from endometriosis too. 😬
Brain fog! After long term multi toxin infection, I had 3 months of amnesia!
This is such good information. My immune system is low and after having covid I strongly believe mold is the reason I haven’t been able to heal faster. We had a leak in our plumbing system under the home, even though it has been fixed I’m sure it left behind some sort of mold because a few months after the musty sewer smell lingered. I’m working on trying to get out of this lease and home. Is there anything I can do to help myself and my family until I get out of this place ?
U have rights
These will vary by state
Landlords have to provide a safe living environment
They should be able to terminate the lease due to liability
If plumbing was fixed request a mold test swab and air to make sure it was remediated
I just went through this
If they dont comply you could sue
Best of luck
Does anyone suggest a place to treat this in South Florida?

How do you test for mold in ones home
I use Mycometrics. ERMI test.
Mold DNA testing works too from what I heard.
Where did you get the Mycometrics test?
Purchase mold plates from Immunolytics
Is there hope ? Been to 67 doctors .. no help.. lethargic , aged 100 years.. is there anything I can take to stop mold and candida who colonized me apparently ?
Does anyone know if the real time labs will test for Actinomyces in your urine
What test do you use to check if it was actually caused by mold?
Because these symptoms could be anything.
Thanks .
Is some kind of diet to help minimize the symptoms or test my environment has to be done first ?
And how I find a good Inspector ?

Mold exposure long term
This video mentioned where to find mold inspectors!
There are essentially no good mold inspectors out there - mainly because the most sensitive mold detection systems are the human body, no test has ever been able to come close to both accurate and sensitive thresholds.
@@athens31415 😞
The title is suggesting that mold damaged people are basically mentally ill and that mold exposure made their neuropsychiatric pre-existing condition worse. Which is just distracting from reality.
Would like to talk with you
Can any of this cause blood in urine??
I just left Emergency Department
I have blood in my urine now
But no infection
Bladder hurts all the time-urethra
My 17 year old son is having same symptoms of frequent urinating and pain
And yes there is mold in my house just made the connection a few days ago
Reoccurring flooding on street for 30+ years has caused basement flooding
Yes!
Last spring my son and I had to tear down an old backyard shed because it had mold. Within a few days we BOTH had bladder infections. His went away in a few days while mine lingered on for weeks and to this day ( 6 months later) it still feels like it is slightly there. I have urethral discomfort and pain and urine urgency that I never had before we knocked that shed down. I suspect there is mold behind my bedroom wall as I smell a musty smell in there too.
@@donnadhennin mine actually ended up being C-Diff infection
For you I suggest taking some natural anti fungal spices
Make some teas

What can I do to support my body when I can’t remove the mold, or leave my home - Stachybotrys off the charts behind 2 walls. I’ve been tested, neuro and cognitive impairments recently started. My house has been tested, I don’t have the means for remediation, or to move, and I cant sell my house. Is there anything I can be doing while I’m looking for a healthy place to live? Thank you.
did u find a solution? i would suppose a dehumidifier/air purifier might help...and asking someone else to try clean the mold off with those anti-mold sprays
You must get out of the house. Ask family, friends, church connections. Start taking vitamins, minerals. Find an Osteopathic physician. Offer to do any work you can, in exchange for treatments. You can die from this problem.
@@lsdlrf she said she can't leave, so why r u telling her to leave?
@@EspritArkitekt Thank you. You’re correct, thank you for your advice, I appreciate it very much. My friend said he might do a Go Fund Me to help raise donations for mold remediation and medical expenses. Thanks again for speaking out for me.
@@Lynore_Marie ur most welcome Lenore.
in the end if this GoFundMe doesn't work out & u can't afford a professional to clean up. maybe that friend or another wouldn't mind scrubbing it off for u while u stay somewhere else for a few days to let the house breathe? they could buy 1 of those suits from the home depot store that painters & handymen wear, it goes over ur clothes & shoes & head, an industrial face mask to prevent them breathing in the mold & toxic fumes from the mold remover spray & safety goggles so the spores wont enter their eyes. that would seem like the easiest/cheapest way to at least try resolve the problem, depending on how much mold there is in the whole house.
but the air purifier will really help once you've cleaned up the mold especially.
i'm trying to find an affordable one myself as i have asthma & an allergy to mold already and my landlord keeps downplaying the mold & all the doctors i've been to surprisingly aren't even aware of toxic black mold! O.O they just want to prescribe me a basic nasal spray coz the insides of my nostrils have been permanently swollen since corona started (when i first had the mold problem), so i'm basically breathing through 1/4 of my nose.
i live in a coastal city so it's humid all year round, but worse in the winter months, plus there's a leak under the kitchen sink.
this problem really does start to make u go insane, coz when u come home after a long day at work u want to feel relaxed & comfortable, but instead u face another massive stress & sleeping it off isn't even an option.
can i ask u, do u also experience a very sore throat especially when u wake up?
waking up is the worst feeling for me coz my lungs feels so compressed & crackle & i'm constantly having to take my inhalers, which saddens me coz i trained my body not to need my inhalers like 18 years ago & i only need them if im sick or have an allergy to something, but now im taking them everyday and to make that worse the doctors in this coutnry wont even prescribe me my inhalers so my friend abroad sends me hers, ridiculous & negligent
