Seized by Mold: An HVAC Tech’s Recovery From Mold-Induced Seizures With AJ & Becky Callegan

If doctors told you they wanted to remove part of your brain even though they couldn’t explain why you were sick, what would you do? This is the dilemma that AJ Callegan found himself in after decades of working closely alongside microbial growth in the HVAC industry. When AJ’s unexplained seizures led to the shocking diagnosis of mold toxicity, functional medicine offered him and his wife Becky a glimmer of hope. Now, AJ and Becky are determined to revolutionize the HVAC and home building industry, making it their mission to promote safe, clean indoor air for all.

Thank you for sharing this story. Two of my daughters developed mold-induced seizures and PANS/PANDAS from exposure. Really appreciate this video!

If AJ hasn’t yet - please make sure to get a book and read it called Could It Be B12. With bariatric surgery and depending how that surgery was done his b12 pathway can be impaired. He won’t notice it because until he runs through the body stores (sometime years worth and sometimes not) and then all the neurological stuff comes back. And neurologists are NOT at all aware.
Also monitor his FULL iron panel and knowing functional medicine optimals. That will also tie to seizures if low even when hemoglobin is normal.
It all ties to mold because mold depletes iron, ruins our gut microbiome and b12 gets spent toxin binding and then with a damage d pathway to absorb (from the gastric surgery but also we can have complicating inborn errors or b12 metabolism or missing intrinsic factor or damaged parietal cells) his best bet is to now take that and know about it and possibly treat.
It’s what gave me my cognition back. I also did 12 phospatidyl choline IVs but b12 injections gave me so much of my brain back!
Great share! Sad we all,walk a tragic story and medical neglect.
