Hi guys! This video is about mold toxicity symptoms. After experiencing a massive flood in my apartment building 4 years ago, I had many mold related health problems, and it took quite a while to figure out what was going on with me. The symptoms of mold exposure are sometimes vague and diffuse, and it can be difficult to diagnose. I wanted to make a video explaining some of the things that I went through, in case it may help someone who is having similar symptoms figure out what may be causing them to feel unwell. I had extreme fatigue, rosacea, could not sleep, trouble breathing, hives, GI upset, anxiety, sneezing and coughing and more. I don't normally talk too much about my mold exposure, but have learned a great deal the last few years in my healing process, and share it in hopes that if it has had an effect on you or a loved one, you will learn something from this.
As usual, stay healthy and beautiful!
Megan Graham

I'm a physician who almost died from mold toxicty. When I finally figured out what was going on (no thanks to my $500,000 education and 20+ years of experience as a family medicine pcp, which was all totally worthless in this regard!), I quit my job and re-trained as a Functional Medicine doctor. Best choice I ever made, I finally feel like I'm a "real doctor". Don't see a conventional doctor if you suspect mold. You'll likely only end up with a prescription for Prozac!!
Wow! I am in complete agreement with you. I tell people this over and over. Yet people still continuously tell me that they are going to make their dr run mold tests (which would really be mycotoxin tests). Even if the dr would run these tests, conventional drs are not trained on how to treat it.
A friend of mine has a very similar story to yours.
Hi, how did you treat this issue please
Hi there, I have many videos up on this in my mold toxicity playlist. May want to look at one of the last ones that I made.
Wow I really admire you for not only overcoming being so ill but for having the courage to go back to school as well. I have to admit you are right about going to a regular doctor when you have something wrong that they don’t recognize yeah the patient is crazy.
@@MeganGraham I asked my doctor and she has no idea what is that mycotoxin urine test. She has no idea who even gives those tests. The truth is the if it is not a medical doctor giving this test, the results are not taken seriously. No one would listen to a naturopath who gives this test.
I had black mold poisoning. Went to many doctors trying to figure out what was going on, they tried to tell me I had anxiety as well. My hair was coming out, I was having asthma attacks, acid reflux, twitching, jerking, insomnia etc. it wasn’t until I had a full allergy attack with my eyes swelling up, I realize something was in my home. I had to leave my home, still was sick. Had to go to the holistic doctor who found 15 molds in my blood work and it was extremely high. Immediately, he started me on detox. I had to change my diet, and take many supplements. I left my home after spending lots of money on remediation. I had to move several times because every place I move had mold and I was now hypersensitive to mold. I had to move into new construction.
Mold is a silent killer. It actually causes brain damage
By any chance did the jerking and twitching happen when you were about to fall asleep it wakes you up?
This is my story to to a t been dealing with this since 2018 mold in my new place was homeless because of mold lived. For 2 months now looking for a new place and it took me 8 months to find this dump to not have a reaction right away can be gone for hours then come back eyes start watering swell up get welts on them cough get a sore throat bone ache ,,joint pain my body I so over this..I'm ready to lose my mind
Also get really foul smelling urine somedays I cant get up ...gets worse when the temperature drops gets cold and when it rains think the mold is under the building can smell it when the wind blows a Certain way I found black mold outside on the frame around building
How do you find a good holistic doctor? I would like to find one, I have bad asthma, reflux, sudden insomnia, a skin rash, and brittle hair when my hair was long and healthy. I would benefit from taking a mold test to see if I have it too!
@@aliciamoon9816same. And we just traveled to moldy areas.
How would I find a reputable doctor?
Or.. help my self? Help.
Words can't describe how absolutely devastating this is. How many people who are experiencing debilitating symptoms are informed they're just a hypochondriac. I'm so sorry to you and everyone who goes through this and I wish you the best of health.
That is exactly why I decided to share this. Thank you for your kind words.
@@MeganGrahamTHANX So Much For Sharing This, I Have Several Symptoms & I Am Hella Allergic To Mold.We Might Have Some In OUR House, Because WE Are Still Waiting On Getting OUR House Repaired From The Hurricane, WE Just Replaced The Roof, NOW, Waiting On Ceiling, Walls, ETC ..But We Were Really Blessed In The Scheme Of Thing's, WE Have Friends' Whose Homes' Got Completely Destroyed.May GOD BLESS ALL 👼👼✝️✝️
It happened to me. It senseless that we are so uninformed. It's crushed my life. Still recovering
Thanks for this information...very thankful
Not everyone understands my family went upside down I am so sick everybody blames me .I am soo done n suisidal
Hair loss, brain fog, fatigue, skin eruptions, insomnia, and depression were a few of my black mold toxicity symtoms. Thank you for bringing this subject into the light.
I'm going bald. 😢
Come to find out I was exposed at my work not at my home. I assumed it was at home till i was out of work for a while went back 1 day and all my symptoms came back. I will not go back to that job. People need to evaluate everywhere you spend alot of time. I'm starting to feel so much better and I haven't been to work in 2 weeks. My boss is in denial but I've started noticing other co workers experiencing the same symptoms as me. What a scary thing I never imagined I would deal with.
@@cassielaine7133😊😊
Me too. So what do you do?
@jackidezell3736 go find a lawyer, then sue your employer.
After months of my health declining and finding mold two days ago, sharing almost all of your symptoms and many more... thank you. ❤️ currently in a hotel while we figure it all out. Husband has been fine this entire time. I can’t wait to show him this.
EDIT A YEAR LATER: I healed and we left the house. You can recover from it!
It’s very important to know that not everyone has the same symptoms from mold. Some people are more able to detox from it on a daily basis, while others just re-circulate the mold toxins. That is why it can make you feel crazy when you get sick from it. You could be the only one in your family that has symptoms. That was basically what happened with me and Jeff.
Same! My husband is fine. And My health has completely deteriorated. So thankful we found the mold and we’re able to move but now wondering where to start with healing, I’m still struggling so much with symptoms since I don’t detox well.
The mold is in the hotel
Please check out the other videos in my mold playlist, they have some helpful tips:)
It can be!
Omg! This explains why I’m always sick! Depression, Anxiety, rashes, headaches, chronic everything! I have black mold in my basement! Megan I’m so glad that you made this video and I’m so sorry 😞 that you had to go through this as well! My son is 18 and he always complains that he’s tired 😪 I should have never stayed in this house my mother was always guilt tripping me to live with her and now she’s in a nursing home with Dementia and I’m stuck living in this Pitt with my kids! I don’t know what I’m going to do 🥺This totally explains why I’m disabled with chronic depression and all sorts. I need to get out of this House
I am so glad that this video opened your eyes. It sounds like it explained a lot! I hope you heal swiftly!
@@MeganGraham did you heal at the moment megan ? how long did it take for you if u did ?
Moving out of that house will significantly improve your health
Your mom can be fully healed from mold toxicity. 56 % of alzheimer's dementia cases are toxic mold or parasitic.
So sorry. I hope you were able to move out. I am having this problem for about the 4th time because I live in western Washington. Just when I thought it was behind me, Ive been stuck in a place for 18 months with a mold problem, and I struggle to find it but its ruining my life. I cant get out of the situation in order to start healing.
💯 correct. Sadly most healthcare providers know nothing about mold toxicity and never bother looking into it since they aren't getting paid to do so outside your appointment.
My spouse and I both got sick out of nowhere (differently though which is why it took us awhile to figure it out) and our cat who was doing well on his protocol for renal disease suddenly died two months after exposure from multiple organ failure.
Mold toxicity is the WORST thing to have. No one understands that has never dealt with it. People think it is just allergies. It actually destroys you from a cellular level. We had a professional specializing in Toxicology and Environmental illnesses point out this fact----If you break a leg you can clearly see the bone is broken. If you are exposed to mold toxins you look physically normal and can't see the damage being done.
Your comment is extremely accurate. It is so difficult for people to get a proper diagnosis because they tend to look well, and feel awful. I am so sorry about your cat, the same thing happened to my beloved dog. I am so happy that you were able to get treatment. Did your health return?
@@MeganGraham We are unfortunately still dealing with everything and it feels like our health will never return to what it was. This area needs to be taught more in healthcare and I believe many people are misdiagnosed with something when it is likely from some sort of mold exposure. I'm glad you were able to recover to some sort of normalcy and I hope we can get there someday as well. I will always be terrified of mold though and worry about new exposures.

I got a green phlegm throat infection 2 Hours after being i a house full of toxic mould my eyes watering and i was ill just from 2 Hours inside the house
A friends dog has can cer of the lymph nodes lymphodeoma from black mould and nicotine from his owner
I moved into a new home six months ago. I feel so much healthier here. My old home smelled off, which is a big indicator of mold for me. To be on the safe side, I’m going to have this new home tested. Thank you for this video. You opened my eyes to the devastating effects of mold.
Likely had mildew in your ductwork.
Thanks for sharing!
@leslieholland6477 How does one test a house for mold? I recently started to sneeze so often and my nose is always runny, my eczema flared up a lot, my face is always itchy, especially the skin around my nose.. I developed some allergies and I suspect that there may be some mold somewhere.. Any info would be appreciated!
@@AlinaPetreacaTests aren’t accurate. Don’t waste your money. Trust your body. I spent 1400. Told my house is fine. I have the highest mycotoxins levels my Dr has ever seen and he has been doing this for over 20 yrs. I have 3 types of mold in my body including black mold. Move out of your home & see if you feel better. This kills & causes cancer. I have a million plus dollar home w/ 4000sq ft & an elevator just 3 yrs old & gorgeous to look at. It is filled with gorgeous furniture that I will have to leave behind & all my belongings! People die from this!🙏🙏🙏
Gray thing for mold detoxing is showering with Epsom salt ( which is magnesium) also oral liposomal glutathione is a game changer for mold sickness
how do you shower with Epsom salts?
@@mikha007 Usually can be done if you have a bath tub. So you out the magnesium powder in the water, can mix with some essential oils to make it smell better and more relaxing.
Gray thing????
@@tonytaylor8313 "great" thing
If you're doing this for the magnesium, try adding raw organic cacao powder to your diet. It's very high in magnesium.
Something similar happened to me with my reverse osmosis water filtration system. Basically, the system started growing bacteria and I was drinking it daily. I was so sick. I did everything you did, I eat healthy to start with but I had to go down to the BRAT diet and I was still so sick. I went to 3 different doctors and no one would listen. After almost two years of being very ill and having no life I was in so much pain I noticed when I was filling my coffee pot that the water looked to have a gelatinous consistency and it hit me. The water. It’s the only thing I didn’t cut out. I stopped brushing my teeth, thinking it was toothpaste. I stopped using the system and within a week I was back to feeling ok, and after about a month I was completely back to normal. I have a life again. It was my water! NO doctor would have taken the time to figure that out. It’s been about 6 months and I’m still doing ok! I knew something was making me sick, it just took two years to find it.
I have heard of that very thing happening.
So you RO had mold in it?
@@winniecash1654 mold/bacteria, something. I unhooked the $400 system after I was sure that was the problem and threw it in the trash! Wasn’t even going to risk cleaning it and having this happen again. Back to city water.
Man....that make me feel comfortable knowing I DON'T have a filtration system and have gelatinous water running from my tap. /s
We started buying big jugs of water and it improved my health significantly. I can't drink tap water for more than a week or my symptoms come back. Best water the richest country can afford, I guess.
@@trashcatlinol glad you found something that works! From the research I’ve done, I’ve concluded 1) I should have been cleaning the system regularly but I did not know that. 2) when I would leave my house for a week at a time the water in the system had time to create a bio film that just got worse and worse and once it starts it just grows exponentially. That’s what I think happened. I got the system because I get letters every year from the water department notifying me my water has high levels of cancer causing metals. Seems like some sort of bottled water is the only way to go 🤷🏻♀️
My daughter lived in her home for 3 years before developing symptoms from mold toxicity. She began to have seizures along with anxiety, fatigue, memory loss, and skin issues. Functional dr diagnosed her with very high black mold in her blood. She is on the journey back to health but struggling still after 8 months with seizures. Can’t work or drive so life is over as she knew it. Sad that all a dr can do is put you on medications for anxiety or seizure disorder which makes everything worse !getting to the root cause will hopefully bring my beautiful daughter back to her life once again …thanks for sharing your story awareness is the first step towards healing.
I am so sorry about your daughter. Is she out of the house she was in? Please look up healingcavelady on ig. I love watching her different holistic modalities. You may get some ideas there. She healed herself from mold toxicity.
@@MeganGraham
Yes. She is out of her house and into mine since December . I will look into cavelady . Thank you for that . will keep you posted!
hoping your daughter is out of the house. i also got sick from mold issues. had multiple symptoms, also seizures i got which i had never had in my life experienced . worse, could not think properly or organise. very important to move to a mold free place.
@@galespressos yes she has been out of the house but still having neurological symptoms. They are milder but still there. 14 months now with symptoms
She might have a brain tumor like I did from Mold toxicity
I’ve experienced SO MUCH mold here in Georgia. It’s really humid & almost every home around here has mold of some form happening. I’m finally in a place that’s “fixable” & I’ll be cleaning my body out after about 19 years of mold exposure, from black mold, to penicillium/aspergillis types. There have been times where due to the exposure I’ve felt like I was on drugs for up to 4 days. It’s messed with my hormones, I’ve had major hairloss (thank goodness I look cute with super short hair) skin eruptions, nose bleeds, nausea, vomiting, feeling disoriented, dry skin, stomach trouble, gas/bloating, a miscarriage, leaky gut, kidney & dental problems due to highly acidic saliva even while on a SUPER healthy diet. It’s been exhausting & for the majority of that time my family didn’t believe me & thought I was crazy. 😞
Hi Angela, that sounds so awful. I am sooooo glad that they place you are in now can be a healing place. I knowhow hard it can be to find that❤️. Sending you healing thoughts💙💙💙💙
The same in Ireland 😢
Dental problems due to acidic saliva: this explains sooo much … I unwittingly purchased a Katrina. Car which was so mouldy smelling that I took out all the carpeting of course thought nothing of it ….i have developed candida so bad that my feet are always smelly (like cheese ) and lesions on my legs and now arms itchy and then I scratch them and they bleed the brain fog and depression ,of course but the dental issues I never put together I basically had one tooth dessolve and crumble ….parasites thrive in an acid enviroment and they produce it as their “poop this is a main cause of rhumitoid arthritus … I have been ignoring the obviovious for far too long mold and candida go hand in hand . Thanks for posting
@@magdalena7954 I sincerely feel like it’s becoming a world wide issue. When I was a kid I never remember homes having mold issues like this
@@galactikbutterfly I’m SOOO glad my testimony helped you figure things out. To be honest, we need each other to heal. 💕
I’m beginning to look into this after almost 10 years of chronic fatigue/exhaustion! Thank you for sharing your story with your symptoms. Like you I went from running 3 miles on my one hour lunch…going out all weekend, socializing to being bed bound & each day a struggle.
It sounds so familiar. I’m so sorry that you are going through this :(
See a functional medicine practitioner. There are a lot of doctors who are combining this into their practice!
Me too. My house flooded and now I’m lethargic with tons of body pain and stuck in bed. I’m on my journey now to detox but unfortunately stuck living where I’m at.

I lost my voice after living with mold for a couple of months. Thank you for sharing your story.
Same!
Omg thats what's happening me too! And unfortunately I do singing nd rapping and can't do it anymore 😢.... I can't be here anymore debating going into hotel somewhere or sommit I'm demented being here as soon as I go into the building my head feels heavy ... can't think clearly (and yes I do have POTS )which has been amplified by X10000 😢 plus asthma allergies ... possible mast cell and Ehlers danlos I'm abolished being here !! :(
I taught at a high school that was filled with mold, and also lost my voice the last few weeks I worked there. It sucked because it came with flu symptoms. My school only allowed 3 paid sick days per year, but I definitely used them all up and then quit after being stuck there for 3 years!
Reminds me of a time my 1st wife with declining health issues and I had first moved interstate to be near the children & grandchildren. I noticed a slight leak in the basement and tried to fix it with a water sealant. It turned out that my wife, who was bedridden at the time and couldn't leave became allergic to the fumes even though any that escaped the basement were completely odorless and undetectable by sense of smell by the time they reached the bedroom. I had to stop immediately and leave the job less than half done. We had some heavy rain around that time and water came in turning everything stored in the basement into a giant petri dish of black mold. I cleared out the basement and nothing was salvagable because the mold was everywhere. I started having severe asthma attacks even though I hadn't had asthma for the first 40 some years of my life up to that point and had quit smoking years before.
We promptly moved, but being that I was working as a finishing carpenter at a local chair factory, I continued to have severe asthma. This mold is present in tiny amounts in sawdust and continued to have severe asthma attacks on top of allergic rhinitis that caused constant congestion, runny nose and a 24/7 case of post nasal drip that gave me coughing spells that tempted me to call the police on myself for disturbing the peace. These coughing spells would trigger the asthma, which I nicknamed "my swamp nose bronchitis" because my nose would fill and run both ways before my attacks. I then went to the Dr. where I was diagnosed with allergic asthma.
Being that my immune system had identified the mold and the toxin as a threat, it had mounted a fierce defense and then launched a counter offensive against it. In other words, I had become deathly allergic to the black mold to the point that the minute amounts present in sawdust at my job were triggering my asthma similar to how a passenger flying coach on an airplane can open a bag of peanuts and make some poor peanut allergic soul at the other end of the plane in 1st class go into anaphilaxia.
I was treated with allergy medication and an inhaler that I used as prescribed every 4 hrs., but the asthma would return in 2 hrs and I had to ride out my asthma the next two hours. Insomniac to start with, I became even more sleep deprived to the point where I started to have sleep deprivation hallucinations. The Dr increased my types of medication to 4 different types (2 pill meds, a prescription nose spray and my albuterol inhaler), all of which were steroids in a desperate attempt to get my immune system to back off from going after the spores & toxins & destroying my respiratory tract in the crossfire.
It worked too well (but not on the asthma though). Little did I realize that the treatments caused my white cell counts to drop to dangerously low levels, thus causing an opportunistic bacterial infection to tear through my entire GI system. I was rushed to the hospital with a dangerously high fever and abdominal pains on a scale of 1 to ten with 10 being the worst possible, mine being at 50. where I had to have emergency surgery where I lost 1/3 of my colon, some of my large intestine and my appendix in the deal.
I also nearly lost my life as the doctor and his staff of nurses later told me and my wife that they didn't even know how I was still alive, being I coded (flatlined) and had to be resuccitated several times during the operation and due to my insides rupturing and spilling their contents into my abdominal cavity on top of my compromised immune system, the doctor said that he didn't expect me to last the night post op. By some miracle though, I pulled through.
Anyhow, I recovered and when I left that job (and the sawdust), it was like a Biblical miracle. My severe asthma went away to the point where I now only have to use an inhaler a few times a year during say, a bad allergy season and take an over the counter allergy pill.
Anyhow, that was my experience with black mold. It is definitely bad news. I almost died from it and the complications arising from efforts to medically fight it.
Hi Edward. I honestly can't even believe that you are hear to tell this tale. It really does sound like it is a biblical miracle, most people would certainly now have made it through. Did your 1st wife also survive?
@@MeganGraham She wasn't affected as far as I know being that I took the brunt of the black mold that happened about a year or so after I had to stop trying to fix the leak due to her allergies to the sealant when I discovered it all over everything and exposed myself to it cleaning it out & hauling moldy items to the trash.
She died about 3 years later of causes not related to black molds or allergic reactions. She passed away from respiratory failure due to a stoke she suffered while undergoing quadruple bypass surgery that in turn was due to clogged arteries and congestive heart failure that started when she had a silent heart attack the summer of 07, right after I recovered from a 2nd surgery. She had other issues unrelated to the mold, which were why her health was failing and I had to take care of her before her heart issues snuck up on us.
Eating minimal dairy and gluten also helps. So does eliminating seed oils which are hidden in many products and highly inflammatory.
Wow. Thank God for miracles. Blessings
Thank God your alive I have auto immune and asthma.copd can't get it under control I'm going thru cold issues can't even eat I can't breath I have Gerd but this is way strange I learned alot from you going to Dr's Tues called ambulance they said it was stress when they came out my breathing attacks are terrible can't eat nothing
OMG My girlfriend is going through all what you mentioned and it put me in tears. I am so glad that I stumbled on this vid. This will help tremendously the fight with mold that we are going through. I love my woman to much to not feel hurt knowing what she has and will go through. She knew she has a mold problem but it's been difficult to get help to eradicate it. But the fight is on. Thanks so much for sharing this vid with us and the world.
Thank you so much for the compliment, and for being such a great source of support for your girlfriend. My husband has been so incredible supportive to me, and it has meant the world to me.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am grateful that you shared your story. I haven't gotten test results yet but I am trusting my intuition and listening to my gut that I definitely have hidden mold in the house. After experiencing unexplained hairless for 4 years I finally conceded it could be parasites. I have been slowing cleansing parasites out of my system but I am feeling even worse. It turns out it's extremely common for parasites, mold and fungus all to attack the host at the same time.Furthermore they feed off heavy metals that, like toxins such as glyphosate, are everyone including our bodies. I can actually feel it in my lungs and throat when I am breathing mold spores. I have lost all motivation to do anything and I am pretty resigned to mediocrity which is not me at all. I wish you and anybody reading this that is struggling with their health nothing but love, recovery, peace, and restored health. Much love to you all.
Did you move out of the moldy place?
We discovered black mold on the place c we moved into 6 months ago after finding mold in the house we had previously lived in for almost 7 years. When my son moved here I was on hospice. I went to visit my granddaughter and her family in Florida for a month and I was sick unable to eat anything but crackers and water for the entire time
They have a nice home. Unfortunately just found out their home is covered in black mold from the ceiling in 5 rooms and have already spent thousands of dollars trying to get rid of it.I am serious
Anyway I get back home the end of July find out the mold is everywhere behind the walls ,in the duct system and things in closets and some cabinets gave mold growing on them. Landlord is 86 y/o and has mouthing else available .I am on Social Security and my son receives disability .We cannot find a place to live in.that we can afford .I am really sick and he is now having what I think is mold toxicity. I have already lost 20 lbs. I do not know what to do abd on top of that will have to throw away anything porous. There are even cookware that has mold on them. I am 68 with very poor eyesight
How are you feeling now? Wishes of health and healing ❤
Same story I am so sick

As a child I was exposed to black mold that was in my closet. I was about 4 at the time and dealt with asthma-like symptoms and frequent illness until I was about 12. Luckily I was able to ween myself off of asthma medication around the age of 10 and I think it took me another decade after that to build my lung capacity up to where it is now, what I consider between normal and fit. I only lived in that house for 6 months and it affected the first quarter of my life noticeably.
It really does not take long. I am glad that you are well.
I found toxic mold, Stachybotrys, in the kitchen wall in my apartment in Feb 2017. I had been exposed for 1.5 years. I remember laying in my bed feeling like my body was on fire. I remember wanting to die too. I had all those symptoms you described and more. I remember sneezing 50 times in a row multiple times a day.
I prayed every day to understand what was happening to me and to have relief. And then, one morning in Feb 2017, I heard a story on the radio about a woman who had been exposed to toxic mold for like 17 years-her symptoms were an extreme version of mine but I could still relate. Especially the brain fog-I felt like I was in a tunnel all the time. I was so tired I could barely move most of the day. Towards the end of the mystery that was toxic mold-I was in bed 3/4 of the time and could not work. The news story actually saved my life.
I am definitely genetically unable to clear the mycotoxins. I still struggle even after 7+ years. But I am definitely worlds better than I was.
I had my apartment tested and the toxic mold spore count was extremely high, so much so, the testing company told me to get out of there asap. So I fled my home and lived in a hotel for like 8 weeks. I lost nearly all my possessions but I am still alive. About a month after I moved into the moldhole in 2015-I developed bacterial pneumonia. That was the red flag. I had never had pneumonia in my life. And from there it was all downhill.
Currently, I don’t drink alcohol, My refined sugar consumption is no more than 10 grams a day. I did the binder thing early on with a mold specialist doctor-but it caused herzheimer syndrome from killing all the mold toxins so I had to stop with the charcoal binders.
I developed hypersensitivity Pneumonitis-and I am constantly triggered by allergens on the regular-especially chemical fragrances. I’ve been to the ER from not being able to breathe too.
It’s a constant vigilant battle even 7 years later but I have learned so much about biology and toxic mold.
For awhile I stayed away from eating mushrooms but last year I slowly introduced them back into my diet.
I think the biggest battle I have are the permanent allergies and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
I’m seeing this video 1 year later so I know you are probably doing better. I wish you so well, and thank you for sharing your story!!
*your cat is adorable btw*
Not remotely denying your experience but women should be aware many of these symptoms are related to peri menopause and menopause, which could be a differential diagnosis
@@Jo-fk6sc I was young, it was definitely toxic mold bc the spores were in my apt it was not perimenopause-I had a blood panel to check for that. Interesting that these are the same symptoms tho.
@@CircaBEFORE yep I’m definitely not saying your experience what’s anything other than mould but just letting ladie lbs know the peri menopause can bring an avalanche of symptoms…itchy…anxiety…fatigue..bloating are all classic signs of the sex hormones tanking in our bodies.
it is not that. Trust that women know what is happening in their own bodies.
I'm so sorry that happened. It really irks me when people try to say it is menopause...it's not.
Just sending you this video of resources that I just made. Thank you for the kitty compliment!

I am sorry you went through this but am so appreciative that you opened up and shared your experience in order to help others! Many blessings and continued healing to you and others who have experienced this. It must have been so frustrating and scary to go through this with no answers. I am glad you finally found someone who listened and looked outside of the box to help you find your health again! Much gratitude!
Thank you for your kind words.:)
thank you for sharing your experience! i’m a nutritionist & have personally experienced mold illness too. I never knew about the impacts on health previously, but now i see it’s a huge problem for so many people!
a huuugggge problem!
Our story sounds almost identical. I love that you have such a following and so many people are now listening. You did such a great job explaining everything as it is such a complex story to tell.
❤️
Anxiety, puffiness, weight gain, unable to sleep, night sweats, hives, depression, slow, less energy (and I’m as type A and energetic as they come..lol) …. I had it allll. I just moved from a very old beachside apartment that lived in for 2 years. It’s been 3 weeks and I feel like a new person. All symptoms have gone down or totally away, thank you sooo much for sharing.❤ Shame on related! Shocking!!!! 😮
I'm so glad that the move helped you so much!
Thank you for this pretty thorough video. Sadly, like many my symptoms including all of yours but also severe chemical sensitivity cost me my job. Also, sadly, I was low to middle income, so I fell into abject poverty and stayed in my moldy home. I now have a kidney tumor which the surgeon said has a risk of paralysis from surgical removal. So, if you ever read this my wish is that Functional doctors and more well-off people (Suzanne Somers) start a foundation to not only help low-income people with testing and housing but also to educate mainstream doctors finally.
Uggh, I am so sorry. I agree. I would like to see more root cause and functional treatments as well. And less expensive options for treatments.
Prayers for You
Thankyou for making this video. It’s a ‘nice’ feeling knowing that there are other people and you’re not alone in your struggle with such a horrible and embarrassing problem x
You are welcome. No need to be embarrasses. Mold is a poison. Being poisoned isn't embarrassing, it is just something that you need to fix. ❤️❤️❤️
Western Dr's can be idiots when they are out of scope.
Thank you for posting this. I had a very similar experience, but from mold in my car for 2 years. So much of what you said from symptoms to severe impact on quality of life, to the actual path of recovery that the conventional medical industry is unfortunately behind on resonated with me. I’m happy you had friends who recognized the issue. The recovery process is not quick but it’s there. My saving grace was that I found an integrative medicine practitioner that assessed the problem as systemic and not localized.
I am so glad that you figured it out!
The air conditioning of vehicles can get backed up and not drain the water that condenses out of the humid air. There is a drain that gets plugged with leaves and junk holding a moldy soup where air gets cooled and is spewed out your vents
I’m sorry you had to go through this, but I am so appreciative of you sharing your story. It’s very helpful to hear about unrelated symptoms. It’s easy to gaslight yourself. ❤
Thank you!
Wonderful video Megan. I'm going through a very similar situation and it's been devastating and scary. Thank you for sharing your story. It's very informative and helpful. I'm happy for you that you're doing better, and awesome job on being a voice for others.
I am so sorry that you have gone through a similar situation ) and that I am just answering now❤️❤️❤️. sending these resources along in case they may help as well.

Hi Megan! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I can't tell you how much this video has brought a new found awareness for me and my children. Would love to see more videos about this as well as any product recommendations for detoxing, immune builders, air purifiers, etc. So happy you're on the journey to recovery from mold toxicity and living a once again healthier life. Blessings to you, your hubby and fur babies!
Hi there, I am so glad that you found this video helpful. It was a really tricky thing for me to figure out, so I try to share, and give people an idea of what might be going on with their health. I will for sure make more videos about some things like that. Megan
I just went through a similar experience moving from Chicago into a rented beach home in Florida. I felt great when I got there - 2 weeks later I could barely move, had (and still have) bags under my eyes like never in my life. Within a month I gained 20 lbs from swelling. I looked and felt awful. And I still do.
We just moved out (also had the mold remediated at our expense). Owners were far from caring. There’s a LONG story regarding these landlords.
We have 4 dogs & I noticed their eyes were oddly red as well.
I look forward to hearing what you’re doing to clear your system.
It is so important that people are aware of mold toxicity. I share my experience with anyone who will listen.
Thank you for deciding to make this video. Best to you and your pup(s).
Oh yeah, I went to BC many years ago!

I've been to literally 30 doctors, all of them saying it was in my head. So I quit seeing them, started doing my own research along with ps1-ch3-de-l1c therapy, which lead me to the carnivore diet and after 1y and a half I solved a lot of symptoms and came to a mold toxicity possible diagnosis as it fits +90% of my symptoms, 11 of the 13 cluster symptoms for CIRS and I failed the VCS, so there is high probability.
I also finally found a doc who won't be lazy af to tell it was in my head and actually work to solve this. I'm talking to Dr. Dorninger, who is absolutely great, he had gone through the same as I did, even the suicidal ideations and all, his soon had it too. He's great. I'll be starting CSM as soon as possible.
Don't let them tell you is in your head!!
Don't let them tell you is okay to be sick!!!
Don't let them tell you you're healthy and just imagining your symptoms!!!!
CFS/Depression/Anxiety/Fibro/IBS are NOT a diagnosis.
We shall live again 🙌🏻
I agree with you completely, we shall live again :-)
What is a carnivore diet
@@tonytaylor8313 If you Google it it should be pretty easy to find a really good description, it’s very interesting :-)
@@MeganGraham that's why I asked you so I wouldn't have to Google it lol I wanted to be lazy but y'all going to make me work for it huh LOL
@@tonytaylor8313 For sure, I’m not a secretary and I’ll never google things for people or write out a big description when it’s easy to find out.
I’ve got a bunch of my own stuff going on and I’m happy to make videos or answer easy things but when it’s something that I never even mentioned in the video, Google is your best friend.
Sharing this info is invaluable, especially in your case because this isn’t the main focus of your media so you’re surely helping out an innumerable amount of people directly & indirectly ❤
Thank you. I was hesitant to share this...but behind the scenes I was always sharing all of my other stuff, and it felt good to realize that this was helpful to so many. If a few people avoid getting sick from it (like I originally did) then I feel like this happened to me for a reason.
Megan mentions air conditioners. Something that most people do not know is that today's window units are made with styrofoam cores. Styrofoam is a petri dish for moisture and that means mold. Take a look through the vent of your window unit using a flashlight - you'll see dark little spots. That's black mold. If you have sensitivities, it will make you quite ill and you won't even know it. Happened to me for 4 years straight starting the second year of having a new a/c. My old a/c - I realized years later, had a hard plastic core so it never caused any issues for me.
Like Megan, I was terribly ill every summer and didn't know why. At the end of the fourth summer my beloved doggie threw up the tiniest drop of blood in what otherwise looked like bile. Four months later he had lumps under his skin and was diagnosed with blood cancer. I swear it was being closed in an apartment with a moldy a/c that did my beloved dear creature in. It was a painful, hideous death and I tried to save him until they essentially had to pry him from my hands.
I had already found a little mold in an a/c vent that summer and assumed it must have been why I was feeling so awful. I moved to a house. It has continued here but not because of black mold. It turns out ambient mold that occurs because of a heavy rain and moisture getting into foundational basement walls and then mini-split a/c units breeding mold - eventhough I pay extra for the deepest clean before turning them on every year.... every summer it's the same thing. Just today I taped up the mini-splits and went out and bought window units because I have been ill for months.
A few other symptoms that you would never put together are that anywhere you've previously had an injury is suddenly painful - you might think you need to go to the chiro or for regular massages. If you were sore during COVID - you'll feel the same with mold - it's all inflammation.
If you learn you are sensitive - the wrong hotel can start it all over again. My company loves to put us up at a budget hotel by their HQ - I had to tell them that I can't stay there b/c I can tell there's mold.
The air conditioning is a conundrum - but I learned that there are units that can go either in the window or wall - these dual purpose a/c's have to come with a sliding chasis - the guts of the a/c. This means that the core will slide out and you can more easily open it to clean it regularly. - That's what I just bought.
I hope this information helps someone else. It's been an expensive education others should benefit from it too.
Ugh my windows units have tons of black mold.....😑
Yea. It’s not simple . And it’s very uncomfortable.
What is the name of the brand of ac you bought that chasis slides out?
@@bonnieadams1829 Frederik. It can be easy to mix up units because they make the same unit in two different versions - with a slide out chasis and without. And it's in the fine print, most retailers are not used to even thinking about a slide out chasis. But they do know wall units - so you can ask about wall units where the chasis slides out - then they'll understand. But if you start with slide out chasis, they might not immediately understand what you're asking.
Thank you so much for leaving such a thorough and informative comment! This is great.
Thanks for the share … feel like I’m watching and listening to someone describe my own experience. Glad you are recovering … it’s a process. Hang in there!
It is a lot to go through, that's for sure. I am glad I'm healing too. Thank you for such kind words, and I hope you are feeling well too:). Megan
This has changed my life. I appreciate you so much that you don’t understand. I struggled with this for the past 4 years and no doctor was able to pin point what was going on. I knew the whole time that what I was going through could not be the norm for a 31 year old male. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy that the video was helpful. I share my story in hope that other people who have been exposed (and effected) by some of the same things I have will figure it out sooner than I did, and reclaim their health:) ❤️❤️❤️
How are you doing now?

Megan, as someone who has survived with mold poisoning, I can say your recommendations are spot on. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I just share what helped me:)
You helped me to confirm my apartment had mold. I have two Yorkies and I was so sick, one of my yorkies was too.. I believe God led me to your channel. I shared your video with my husband and we are so grateful to you. Truly God used you to save our lives, and our neighbors lives too. I do not say this lightly. I’m in a house now of my own.. no mold and plenty of fresh air. God gave me a miracle. In between I chose my health but had to leave quickly and being unable to work ended up sleeping in my car in a Walmart parking lot for a couple of days. But I could breathe and so could my yorkies.. not the way I hoped God would answer but then He came through!
Your videos are so important Meghan, thank you! Praying for you always.
Sophie & Oliver my Yorkie babies thank you too. Always❤
Jeanne, I just read your comment (to my husband) with tears in my eyes. First of all, you are so brave! You did the right thing getting out of that moldy house, and sleeping in your car was the best way to do it❤️. I share my story in hopes that it will do exactly what it did for you. Give you answers, hope and comfort.
I wish that I had understood what was going on in my apartment, because I am positive that I could have saved my beloved dog Teddy during that time. I could not get his autoimmune disease (GME) under control, and it is because the mold was triggering it. I am starting to make some videos about detoxing our pets (whether after mold exposure when they have been exposed to mycotoxins) or just from the things they encounter from what is on the ground outside (pesticides, moldy leaves in the fall etc) shots, flea medicine... I thought it might be helpful if I explained how it did it, how much time it takes etc. I use a very small amount of the product and detox them slowly by putting it on their food. The product is 80 dollars for the 2 detox things and it lasts me about 6 months so . It costs me under 20 cents a day to add it to their food, and it helps to remove the harmful mold toxins gently and slowly. **I have a link to a video I made with it here: **th-cam.com/video/Fye0K49K71I/w-d-xo.html**. *(it is what to do after your pets have been exposed to mold)**
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment, please come back again and let me know how you all are doing:)
Megan
wow, this is amazing. it makes me think than a lot of us are suffering with some form of mold toxicity but don't even know it to where some people probably just think that going through mood changes, having anxiety for no reason and feeling like not wanting to do anything is just there personality when it's probably just a form of mold toxicity. Thanks for sharing.
It is very possible, but it can also look very similar to other kinds of toxicity that can be experienced. That is where testing becomes important.
Many people who died from Covid, actually died from mold infection in their lungs.
Many people have a mold infection, but aren't really suffering from it. Untill they get a virus that creates an environment in which the mold takes over the whole environment. Covid is such a virus.
Thank you for sharing! You mentioned not all react the same. I am also a hairstylist and that adds another burden. You and I are always having to detox chemicas and then you add mold and it is wayyyyy too much. I also experience extreme fatigue when I am exposed to mold. I am so glad you figured it out and are doing better!
You’re welcome, and I’m so glad that it’s helpful to you. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to share it first because it’s such a personal thing, but I also thought about how long it took me to figure the whole thing out… And I didn’t want other people to be unwell for as long as I was. Being a hairstylist is surprisingly toxic. Although I really enjoy when I do, it’s been a pretty enlightening experience as I’m removing heavy metals from my body… I actually think that they were most likely my biggest health problem, not only mold. I can really feel during the last part of the process what an issue they have been for me. Have you started to detox yet to alleviate your toxic burden?
Hi Megan, I am so happy to have found your video tonight. As you were talking about your experience with mold, I felt like I could relate so much to what you were experiencing. Thank you so much for sharing because I think a lot of people aren't even aware of mold in their building until one day it begins to affect their health dramatically. Peace and blessings to you.
Hi Debbie, it is so nice to hear from you here. I am so happy that you found my video as well. Just so you know I have a whole playlist where I talk about my experience with mold, and also lots of livestreams that I have done talking about it. I hope to share ideas, as well as awareness. ❤️❤️. I agree, so may people are not aware of what mold can do. Peace and blessings to you as well. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am truly grateful for your video. I can relate to almost every comment in this comment section also. I have been a hairstylist my whole life too, so always detoxed regularly. Starting in 2017, I lived in a home for a year, with toxic black mold covering the entire inside of the HVAC system, inside walls, and toxic mold spores blowing on us every day in the air we were breathing, and the skin conditions are debilitating, my dog stopped eating his food, and his teeth rotted. Doctors don't even want to talk about mold...they act like its not a poison, and try to tell you its all psoriasis and give you steroids. It has caused me to become such an introvert, recluse, depressed, and my lawsuit is still not settled after 3 years! I lost almost everything, but most importantly, I want my LIFE and my HEALTH BACK! Thank you for bringing awareness to this! There needs to be so much more!!
My dog stopped eating and drinking water too. She started twitching, almost like small seizures. It effected her eyesight and hearing with a matter of months. It took me over a year to recover and I don't feel like my brain will ever be the same.
@@SneekySecrets that makes me sad….so many awful stories of people suffering over something that they did cause. I am seeing a doc who has a mold treatment center, and his clinic is known for incredible results and healing people. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments are supposed to help tremendously. I am considering trying. How is your dog now? Mine has the twitching also, and reduced sight and heating as well. He hates the outdoors if it is hot or humid out.
@@tlight1109
Eh, my dogs okay. She just turned 16 and never got her spunk back. Her eyesight got worse and cataracts have blinded her. She's not all there cognitively now but eats and drinks fine. Mold took my best friend, well the part of her who followed me around anywhere, off leash, ready for a serious game of fetch everyday. She is simply not the same and I've never had the money required to fix her. We got knocked down but carry on. I hope to create a non-profit to help restore dogs vision. To my knowledge this is not a focus of any current animal charity? I believe it can be done, and while also helping veterinary students pay for advanced studies. Rather than pay for eye surgery for many dogs, why not indenture (for lack of a better term) advanced study veterinary students in partnership to provide eye surgeries either in exchange for tuition assistance programs during a residency or after graduation. This could also include possible coordination with universities researching cataracts and eye disease, like those at Texas A & M. I've also thought a mobile operation bus might be feasible. Works for mammograms and other things. There's no reason dogs should go blind when it's a relatively easy procedure but too costly for middle class owners to afford....and while students drown in debt to pay for their education. Why not help all of them?

Thank you Megan, I've been sick for a long long time, worsening the last 2 years, have had every single one of your symptoms. I traced it to MCAS but doing more research...my house has had 3 severe leaks (not properly taken care of) and had a damp issue before I moved in. I'm currently awaiting seeing an allergy specialist..as that's where the Dr wants to start. But I'll consult a functional Dr now. My Cat is sick alot ...throws her food up 😔 but when she went to stay with my partner she was ok. It's all adding up. Thank you for sharing x
You're welcome. See the description to see what I used to improve my dogs health after exposure.

Thank you for shedding light on what I suspected but never looked into until I saw your video❤
Glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It means a lot to me.
Yes, it’s terrible, the longer you’re there, the sicker you get, in every way. The thought of moving is over whelming because you can barely take a walk anymore. I had no one to help me, I’m retired and needed help. Finally, a dear friend came and got me to pack and find a place. She reminded me what I had to do…you begin to give up. It was my Yorkie getting so sick, that got me to muster all the energy I could, to move. It’s been 4 months and I’m feeling better, started taking vitamins, going back to doc appts. I hadn’t even gone to a Doc in years. I’m trying now, and God led me here today. Thank you!
I am so glad that your Yorkie inspired you to get out. The same was true for my husband and I when we were in a similar situation.
Thank you so much for this video, I could write so much describing what I've been experiencing the last 6 months but I'll just say thank you for making me not feel like I'm crazy for thinking I'm dealing with mold exposure.
I'm so glad that it was helpful. Check out the rest of my mold playlist for other helpful info.
I'm so glad you created this video. And I'm so sorry you lost your sweet dog and went through so much pain & difficulty while dealing with this.
By sharing your experience, you are raising awareness on a serious and severely underecognized illness. Mold illness is insidious, rarely diagnosed quickly and often costly to treat.
Unfortunately, most general PCP doctors don't really seem to understand the dangers of mold exposure & the illness it causes. The general attitude in the medical profession is often dismissive about mold illness.
It's good to see people beginning to learn about functional medicine doctors as well. They are so much more adept at researching & discovering the causes of unusual disease processes, not just masking symptoms with more drugs.
In my experience, most doctors tend to dismiss the symptoms caused by mold sickness and insinuate that whatever is going on is "in your head" if they can't figure out what the issue is.
Never let anyone, not even a doctor, invalidate your symptoms or convince you that what you're experiencing is merely psychological. You know your body better than anyone. And no one is going to be more invested in your health than you.
It also seems that many people are used to feeling unwell and they think it is part of aging (it is not) I could really feel the difference because I felt so goof right before it happened, and that changed rapidly.
You are so kind to share this terrible experience. I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!❤️🌹
You are welcome:)
Thank you so much for making this video. Truly appreciate the detail of sharing your story, and I am beside myself (yet not surprised) that the Dr tried to say it was in your head. Glad you are on the path to healing and sharing your story.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to say that:)

Thank you so much. I had the symptoms when I lived in a moldy house in Ireland. My stomach bloating, rosacea, itchiness and swelling in certain places, breathing problems, fatigue, always having the feeling I was about to get sick. Also one you didn't mention: memory loss...?? Also anxiety, depression... I felt instantly better the moment I was outside the house. Now some years later, same symptoms. Especially a deep, dark depression. One time lately I noticed that the moment I put a certain duvet on top of me, the depressing thoughts came straightaway: "nothing makes any sense, there is no purpose etc...." Once I took it off me, those thoughts and feelings vanished immediately. I will get rid of it and buy a new one.
I'm so glad that you figured it out!
Super detailed and surely helpful to anyone dealing with this. If everyone shared this way there would be a lot better diagnostic ability!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a ton for such a detailed video. It has helped me a lot . May god bless you with good health ... now i know the actual issue , which even doctors couldn't recognise.
I’m so glad that you, and I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.
I’ve been working with Kristen Blake wellness. Look into her website. Pretty awesome. She has a $50 discovery call.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! And please do continue to share including your progress in healing. I subscribed and will look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I’m currently working in an office with visible mold and the business owner has been put on notice by the (previous) landlord per certified letter months ago. The mold is still there; and it has been there since I was reemployed with this company, May 2019. I’m experiencing many health related problems in which some are similar to your mold experience, and I NEEDED to hear your video. Thank you for sharing. And God bless you for having a heart to care about others enough to speak publicly about such a private matter.
Hi there, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I will definitely keep you updated with videos. I know it may not be what you want to hear, but I would either arrange to start working from home (if possible, to get out of the mold) or start looking for a job with a healthier environment. Mold is very toxic, and if we continue to stay in it for too long, we may not be able to reverse the effects (ever) on our organs and our immune systems. Ochratoxin is linked to Kidney Cancer, and since we excrete some of the mold through our kidneys, it can be really hard on our bodies. My dog Teddy passed away from the mold exposure because it brought him out of remission with his very serious auto-immume disorder. I try to share this with other people to make them aware, and to hopefully protect them. By the time there is visible mold, it is imperative that you get out of a situation as soon as you possible can. You are in my thoughts, and I am here if I can be of help! Megan

Can I just say thank you I can't even express the amount of emotional pain I've been going through and the misplaced judgements I've been getting from family and those who didn't know what I was going through and just saw the symptoms. I'm grateful you shared your experience and the symptoms that so many people don't expect to be associated with exposure to molds and toxic exposures like asbestos. It saddens me that you went through the stress of your cute pups being exposed my heart breaks as my cat son Prince has had serious issues from the mushrooms that grew from asbestos in my apartment. I feel less alone and reassured that we can get through this too. Thank you 😭🙏🏽🤗 I look forward to finding a functional doctor for myself as I am at my wits end trying to carry the weight of all the problems it's caused on top of the stress from battles with the property managements and trying to get proper accomodations. I broke down this morning because they told me if I don't move back into the unit while the work on the now open hazardous wall is being done I would have to cover my hotel costs and I just don't have any funds left to do so and yea it all just got too heavy and I broke down after asking a family member for assistance to keep the hotel and they proceeded to tell me that I need to get my life together I'm on drugs and more hurtful things that are so incorrect and sadly assumed from how I've been tore apart physically and mentally from this asbestos and black mold environment I've lived in. Im so grateful to God for finding your video because I felt so low this morning and just alone in this fight but your experience and strength to share is a blessing and I can't thank you enough! I don't know you but I love you God bless you girl truly 💕
Wow, you’ve been blessed then. People get very mean when you get really sick and can’t find the answer. I know MANY people, including myself, who were accused of all sorts of crazy things that aren’t true, just because people didn’t believe (or usually didn’t want to believe) that many health issues are invisible and hard to treat. Please be kind and just because you haven’t heard of it, doesn’t mean it’s not true or doesn’t happen. And this is common actually and unfortunately.
Try filing a claim with renters ins. My State Farm policy wouldn't cover anything but policies differ and so do state laws. Texas, nah. But other states showed mold is serious and attorneys are happy to take the case.
My wife and I are going through the same thing about family saying the same thing as yours did. My prayers are with you and all of us dealing with mess. You are definitely not alone but it sure feels that way, we both feel like that and we are right beside each other. That's one of the ways it sneaks up on you anyway I feel your pain and may God bless us all keep your faith God has you by your right hand and we are pulling for you two.
@@mandymorrison5039 - Yes, people, even family ,can be so distant & misjudge when you have an invisible illness. Sad because that is when you need them the most.😢😭🙏🕊
Similar misplaced judgements I am getting by my family
Dear Friend,
This might sound strange - but I came across your video after learning of a similar exposure with serious physical manifestations. I 100% agree and appreciate your post so much! It was informative and I imagine required an immense amount of courage to be vulnerable - especially with the resilient personality you speak of.
I listened to your testimony in a different way and all I heard was the following (with respect of course! I too, cannot stay quiet about what I know to be true!)
1) it’s no coincidence it was around the time you turned 40. Scrolling down a bit through the comments I saw a pattern.
2) it’s likely that it is no coincidence that certain people are “affected” more than others aside from genetics. Personality and character come to mind.
3) you are (I suspect) deeply empathetic and sensitive in the best way (a ‘highly sensitive person’). Gifted.
4) this was (certainly) a spiritual awakening! I heard it all through the video. It’s all I heard actually! Yes, part of it is the “invasive and uninvited mild” living in your home and speaking up about it, but there’s so much more in your testimony! Maybe you already know that :)
5) You felt it in your “gut” which means: in your Spirit. It was telling you something. Maybe it was to take care of your health and pursue this, or a lot more that is associated with that such as being drawn to the bigger picture at the “right time. It’s a testimony of how faith was stretched followed by transformational growth and healing!
6) You experienced gaslighting by the closest people to you. They did not believe you. That is heart breaking, I’ve experienced it and I’m happy to learn that you now trust your intuition/ spirit / gut and do what you know to be right and true.
7) i encourage you to remove the toxic people OUT of your life one by one! They are probably all around you like you’re a magnet. This would be due to the goodness in your heart and soul.
8) Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome” and “Toxic House Mold” . Highly correlated.
9) You are gifted, I picked up on the power to heal and to discern light and darkness.
Keep shining and if you’re a believer - you know exactly what He was saying to you. May you continue to grow in your Truth whatever it may be.
I pray that nothing I said was too much or offensive. It’s not meant to be anything but supportive of you.
Stay blessed!

I mean this genuinely, as a believer in Christ, you seem like the kind of friend we all need🩷 god bless you!!🩷
Wow
I am sorry to just be replying to your comment now. This year has been.....a lot for me.
I agree with all of this. It is really interesting to me that you got this from my video.
I'm highly intuitive. I have been told that I am a medium.
Yes, many toxic people have surrounded me.
I'm very close to God. I have heard that when your light shines bright, very bright....dark energy tries to change your voice and thinking to negativity so that you may no longer shine and bring hope.
I am a believer. Thank you for seeing me 🙏

Thank you so very much for your podcast my wife & I also have suffered a long time with the same symptoms you have described .We didn't have a clue what the problem could be until we saw your video. At 65 yrs of age we both feel our health has deteriorated at a much faster rate than should be. As it turns out we found out we been living with mold for some 5 yrs now and we were not aware of it until listening to you.
I just made this video about locating a functional doctor or practitioner to help with Mold Toxicity, so many people were asking:) Not everyone is able to deal with this particular issue, so I put together some sources I would use. th-cam.com/video/lo7BdhUuRa0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B4W0iMn7pDle538T
Really appreciated this. Lived in a moldy house (twice) - and yes, all of the symptoms listed - AND I also developed pancreatitis and eventually an autoimmune pancreatic insufficiency. My IQ went down, I became much less of a focused person and also had anxiety etc. I only started learning about binders and e.g. infrared-sauna-niacin detox etc after my second mold exposure. It is important to heal and detox your body (probably sort of for the rest of your life) after mold and make sure you try and prevent further exposures.
Going to listen to the other videos now. Glad I saw this video. Reminded me to continue my healing process (only started 4 months ago with binders etc). Wonderful video, thank you for sharing! ❤

I wish more people were aware of this , i think it happens so much more!!
I do too!
Thank you so much for sharing your story!! I resonate with a lot of your story and will be following you as you recover to hopefully glean some insight as I recover too 🥰✨
Thank you so much! (I made this video a long time ago) I have many Livestreams up talking about what has happened since then:)
I just strolled upon this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This made me cry because I lived this as my life story. Just having someone like you relate to it makes me not feel so alone with my suffering!! 🙏🙏🙏 I’m grateful to you❣️
Hi there. This makes me want to cry. I am so sorry that you have lived this as your life story:(. Thank you so much for stopping by, and taking the time to be so kind. How are you feeling now? Has anything improved for you?
This really helps me! I'm in my early 40's , and I was always very healthy and physically fit. I have been living in a mold filled house for 7 years. My health has deteriorated so bad since moving in. My children have also been sick. I stupidly thought cleaning would fix the mold along with running a dehumidifier. I literally feel like I'm dying.
No, cleaning mold yourself can make you much sicker. I am so sorry that you are going through this:(
Many people that watch this video also enjoy this: studio.th-cam.com/users/videoWjSaECgTfHc/edit
I felt like I was dying from it too & my pets as well, the landlord would do nothing about it, Dr.s said that it required CDC testing & that there was no CDC testing available, so I suffered in silence for over a year too sick to move, pack, ect. so eventually I got evicted due to the landlord not wanting to spend the money to find out what was wrong & to fix it & bcz I was now a liability to him & with it being lack of safe habitation Noone would show me how to get it tested myself either & I didn't even know where to start. I even asked Housing Code to come over & they did saying they have no meters to test anything & they can smell nothing nor see anything visible on the wall nor ceiling so they have to determine it to be fine ( mind u it was coming from the rafters in the basement & traveling thru every heating vent in every room & the spores were airborn ) The Drs. never did catch it, I finally found a company that I paid myself for testing & when I brought the reports back to the Drs. they wouldn't even look at them. Now 3 years later I think I have finally recovered since I have been out of there but I was forced into psychiatric inpatient treatment over it & my records still have never been vindicated medically.
@@donnaritenour4778 I’m so happy you got out and have recovered, I feel so helpless I don’t know where to go, I can’t afford to fix my house, I have no where to go, my house is paid for and I can’t afford rent in this day and time, everything is ridiculous expensive and I’m in a fixed income, I’m on 63 I’m ready for my life to be over and my poor cats are suffering too, they are loosing so much hair, vomiting now two of them aren’t eating, my son doesn’t believe me, my mom doesn’t know how bad it is, she thinks just wipe it some with bleach, it’s in my a/c ducts, walls, all my belongings I’m sure are infested with spores , I’m living in a tent in my back yard and I’m in Florida, this is no way to live, my husband died and I’m alone , it’s so frustrating, I don’t especially a happy ending at all . 😢
@@donnaritenour4778
That’s so horrible and that’s exactly the problem
Nobody wants to help figure out what to do and landlords don’t want the expensive repairs to be their responsibility
Omg the bloating! I had that phase, too. I've never had so much gas in my life! The hives, anxiety, sleep problems...all began that way for me, too. This was 2015. Only now discovering what happened to me.
It hurts soooooo much. Did it go away for you? I'm guessing to moved out of the moldy place if it did?
Well maybe that's explains my symptoms....bloating.....burning eyes.....dry nose...mom coughing....nephew coughing....me dry burning lips , mouth dry burning,......

My husband was transferred with his job up to the Seattle area in 2021 & we moved into a rental house. It is very damp here and dense with a lot of evergreen trees, which is a perfect recipe for mold. In addition, we moved into a house where the windows had not been replaced for many years & they leaked. The landlord knew that there was an issue, but they failed to disclose it to us and we got very sick there. After the home was tested, we learned that there was mold in the walls and behind our showers in the bathrooms. For the first time in my life, I started getting bloody noses, major brain fog, fatigue, and many of the other symptoms including terrible respiratory. We moved out after living there for over a year and are now in a safe place. I’m so thankful that you have brought these things to light and I got emotional when I was listening to your talk here on TH-cam because not many people understand this struggle, like you do. I’m so sorry to hear that you had to go through so much and I’m glad that you are on the mend now. My husband and I are on our healing path as well. I will definitely be looking for a “functional doctor” in our area. You are right, none of the regular medical doctors know how to deal with mold poisoning. It’s terrible to know that they have made us all feel like we’re crazy. We’re not! And yes, I agree…We should always follow our gut and listen to our bodies, They always tell the truth!!
I hope that you find a great dr, and start to feel much better very quickly!
I’m glad u mentioned people are not crazy because when you have a spouse that does not have symptoms or “ believes “ you is almost as toxic as the mold itself.
Family members can be the worst. Friends and family have had a hard time believing me also. One relative said, I was just getting older-nothing to worry about. Hope you are recovering!
😢I’m so sorry! I know exactly how you feel. My spouse is the same way towards me. Leaves you feeling even more broken and beat down than you already do! It causes lots of anger and resentment for me as well.
However they are speaking on something they know nothing about therefore they’re merely speaking out of ignorance not knowledge!!!
I believe I’d rather be sick than ignorant!😏 unfortunately for them there’s no cure for ignorance!😉😁
SO true!
Thanks for this. One thing to always note is that mold is harder to deal with if you have other issues - like heavy metals and lyme disease. It can take a lot of work to figure out what is going on. You can test for mold via ERMI tests, and also test your body with a urine test. I have heavy metal poisoning, plus a mold problem at home, making getting well very difficult. I'm currently chelating with the Andy Cutler chelation protocol. Wishing you all good health!
Thanks for the great info!
I don't know how I stumbled upon your video. But I thank God that I did. I have been praying for answers for our now 21 year old daughter who has been struggling with various health issues. We have tried many things and many doctors. Our next step is to get her tested and our home tested. Thank you for sharing your story! You seem very genuine and humble.
I am so sorry that this is happening. The ERMI can be a good (first) test to do.
Meghan thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I have been experiencing these symptoms as well. I am now being proactive trying to go through my house and areas that I just never go through.
I agree that our pcp are not that helpful. Functional doctors do seem more interested to help the patient. I pray that everyone has or is healing from
Mold exposure 🙏🏽
Thank you for your kind words!
Tysm for taking the time to make this…I feel a LOT less crazy ! I’m going through just about all of these symptoms and have been losing my mind trying to understand what is going on with me! Started around same age and I just said today I feel like I have aged 10 yrs in the last two…feel I look like it too and it’s just getting worse😢 I even have a senior dog who seems to be aging in fast forward. SO many things in common! Love the horse portrait behind you btw. I have a few myself. You are clearly an animal lover as well! I’m so sorry about Teddy❤
Not done the video yet…you just mentioned IBS…they are currently trying to pin that on me too. Wild!
Will for sure be watching the rest of your videos!

Thank you for sharing this, Megan. It angers me to know that the building management was so irresponsible and refused to compensate for your health and losses. I wonder if all the other tenants were affected by the mold.
I also feel so sorry for your babies, especially when their tiny little bodies had to be so strained trying to fight the poison in their system. Certainly felt the lump in my throat when you mentioned that your eldest baby passed on.
I’m glad you’re out of this terrible place and I pray for a speedy recovery for both you and your babies ❤
We had/have a slumlord in my hometown who I swear only owned houses with black mold. So many people had to move out after their kids developed severe asthma symptoms.
He NEVER had the mold professionally cleaned, but often sued tenants for there being mold other property...load of crap.
I'm praying my home doesn't have mold, but I can't afford testing or to move if we find anything. No way I can afford new housing.
Thank you for your kind words. I really miss Teddy.
going through this right now, this was really helpful to listen to. thank you so much for creating this video.
You are so welcome! (and I am sorry that you are going through this). I have a whole playlist on here about mold just so you are aware ❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing. I have had similar symptoms - rosacea that the doctor didn't think was rosacea because of my colouring (he said I'm too dark in colouring..) , I was tested for lupus, I bloat. Will look into this. I'm not glad you went through it but it's helpful to hear you story.
People with darker skin can get rosacea too. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Mold toxicity (as well as toxicity from environmental things (herbicides, pollution, fragrance, chemicals) is more common that regular docs will let on. For some reason they have no made the histamine connection to rosacea, but it is all connected. The detox I use for Microbe formulas is amazing, and could very well clear up many issues, but I would do it much slower than they reccomend. Also get the book toxic by Neil Nathan and read it cover to cover.
Yes. I developed discoid lupus. My whole upper body got horrible lesions. Then it turned into systemic lupus so I'm stuck with a scarred up body, constant fatigue and my body is attacking itself. I am EXTREMELY ANGRY!

Thank you SO much! You listed like my entire symptom set. I’m a contractor and part of my job is doing demolition. In late July I had a really bad exposure to some really bad stuff, plus the cumulative exposure over the years I felt a huge relief listening to your video Bc…now I know! The mystery is solved and my suspicions confirmed. I’m gonna find a good functional dr. A million times, thank you
Hi there, you are very welcome. I’ve actually worried about this exact thing with contractors. We had to get some work done on our condo when we bought it and I could tell that there was mold in the bathroom ceiling because my ears were hurting when I was cleaning the woodwork over the doorways. We have a contractor that we use and I didn’t want to have him come in to look at it because I just felt like… Dealing with mold is something you have to be extremely safe around. I wound up having the remediation company come in that I use and they did have a plastic everywhere, negative containment… Full suits etc. and opened up the ceiling and sure enough there was mold. The initial contractor apparently had acted like they hooked up the fan but just left it hooked up to nowhere so there was humidity going into the ceiling. And I feel like if our contractor had come in he would’ve been exposed to so much of that when it was being cleaned out.
I would also recommend that you just learn about it as much as you can so that you can help yourself in your treatment. I think one of the reasons that I’ve gotten so much better is that I’m constantly researching and listening to things. I know I shared a link to microbe formulas, but they have amazing information under the learn tab of the website. You have to sign up with your email address but it’s definitely worth it. I put on the “live with the docs“ Programs while I’m driving, or doing stuff around the house and the amount of stuff that I’ve learned has been incredible. If you search dr Jess Peatross And mold she has a lot of great information as well. I think she calls her program kill bind sweat. But basically infrared sauna is fantastic. Movement is great when you can do it such as walking or light weight lifting if you still have the energy. I found the microbe formulas protocol which I’m still doing to be the most helpful thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t pick and choose particular products to try to target mold, I just did the entire protocol to support my body and it’s been super effective.
@@MeganGraham 🙏🏼 ❤️ ☀️ thank you for all your helpful guidance and setting the tone for those of us out here suffering alongside you to not feel so alone in it.
Yes as a contractor I’ve never really taken it too seriously never worn a mask or anything but I do now. In fact I’m beginning to look for a new profession. It’s the heavy, acute, high concentration exposures that really got me. The last one brought me to my knees.
And yes I find that other contractors do stuff like that all the time. It’s supposed to be vented w a flex duct up and out the gable wall or tied into another hard line somewhere in the attic. What usually happens is the insulation falls back in around it and smothers the fan actually and it just stifles the air at point of entry. Which in effect blows the mold back down into the bathroom.
I will definitely look into the microbe stuff and sign up as well as the lady you mentioned. I’m on a course of antibiotics now and an inhaler and a powder inhaler along w an herb from French pine trees. I’m just beginning to heal this but I’m so relieved to finally know what it is exactly that is causing it at the root of the problem.
I pray you regain your entire well being and find yourself restored w Grace and Love.
I hope that your healing is going well, and you are getting a little better every day!
@@MeganGraham ❤️ 🙏🏼

Thank you so so much for sharing this!!! I have spent the past 3 years suffering with something and could not figure it out! I’ve had specialists & doctors tell me “I’m perfectly healthy or it’s just depression and in your head” cause my bloods show up normal but I lost over 14kg for no reason, extreme gut issues, muscle weakness, fatigue etc. a lot of mold CIRS symptoms! And it’s not talked about!! Youre a saviour I don’t feel as crazy. The fatigue has taken over my life, I genuinely feel like I am a 80 year old in a 20 year olds body… thank you for sharing your story!!! It’s confirmed so much for me I am so grateful 🥺😭🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi Olivia. First off all, I am so sorry that this happened to you. This sounds so similar to what I went through as well and I know how hard it is. That is exactly why I started making videos talking about it. It has taken my years to: 1 Figure out what was wrong and 2. Find products that actually work to make me better, so I thought it was important to open up and tell people about it to help them. I have two other videos to help you guys, and will be making more. One on Microbe Formulas (best product I have used to get better). The company just called me and asked me to help them as an ambassador (which is great, because I was doing for free because I love the product so much!). Even better though, they gave me a code for people to use for 10 percent off ( Megan10) at www.microbeformulas.com They have a protocol tab and I highly recommend it. I'm going to be making more videos, could you tell me what would be helpful for you?
@@MeganGraham aw thank you so much, and for responding!! I’ve booked for a blood test to see if I do have the mould spores in my system & certain spikes/proteins from the mould. I’ll definitely want to try the microbe formula and thank you for the 10% discount 🥰 , I know my gut health has suffered so much too so I am willing to try anything to get better. This has already taken over 3 years of my life and I’m not living just struggling to get through each day. Definitely keep making videos because I haven’t come across anyone else with such an informative video and very similar experience. I think what else would help is Maybe in another video go into what you did to start detoxing the toxins out of your body? Or what specific tests you did/your doctor offered bto confirm that you are suffering from mold toxicity? Becuase here in Australia where I am doctors aren’t familiar at all with mould toxicity.. Just you sharing your story is so comforting knowing I’m not crazy or this isn’t all in my head
Hi Olivia, please keep me updated here and I am happy to walk you through the phases of the Microbe Protocol. I would start with the first phase which will give your body the support it needs, and help you to start taling out some of the toxins as well. microbeformulas.com/?rfsn=6152863.e2881a&.e2881a
I normally only start one product as a time, and I begin with a half dose (to be extra gentle to my body...it has been through a lot. If I feel fine, I increase the dosage to the full dose after 3-4 days, and if I feel fine with that, I then add in the next product and do the same.
Honestly, in Australia....the US wherever, drs are not very familiar with mold toxicity. A friend of mine who is a dr and does know about mold illness said it is because it is not taught to them in school....but it certainly a very real, and impactful problem. As the toxicity slows down parts of your body, it tends to create other issues (and slow the actual detoxification process) so that we hold onto other things)
I highly rec this book. amzn.to/30i8efH Toxic by Neil Nathan. It is really good to understand the things that happen to your body, and how to navigate getting better. I prefer the Microbe formulas protocol to the binders talked about in the book, but it explains, how, why....and what we can do to get better (and why it is important to take healing at a pace that our bodies can handle. Very important, but you can only detox as quickly as your physical body will allow without feeling awful. Your drainage pathways (skin, Lymphatic system, Liver, kidneys, lungs etc can only handle so much at a time.
I will make those videos. Please make sure that you are subscribed and signed up for all notifications so that you see them. I am also going to add a list of the most helpful items I use to get better to the descriptions of the videos. Please keep commenting to let me know how the Microbe Formulas goes! Megan

I was nervous to share, but hopeful my journey would help others❤️
Thank you so much for this! You will help so many people with this! I have asthma and tested very high allergic to molds! So I totally understand this!!!
Glad it was helpful! Just raising awareness as much as possible. It isn't always that mold is the culprit, but it sure does not seem to bolster our health.
My last dentist had mold toxicity ~ it was in her blood! 😮 I remember she was so bloated that people thought she was pregnant😢
She went to soooooo many doctors...finally found out it was mold toxicity and got help. I'm not sure if she tried Methylene Blue but I know she found answers after years. The mold was in her house and they had to move.
The bloating is sooooo awful.
I’ve been having those symptoms for going on two years now. Additionally I have severe joint. Very interesting to hear your point of view!! Thank you for making this video, very helpful!!!
They can really be hard to untangle, that is for sure. I hope you can find a great functional dr.❤️. Thank you for your kind words, I am glad that my video was helpful to you.

I am so sorry, that is horrible!
What were there symptoms?
I also was diagnosed with mold exposure by my functional Doctor. I have a gene mutated that doesn't allow my body to detox mold and other toxins. I understand perfectly what you went through and the frustration of bouncing from one doctor to another telling you that all those symptoms are in your mind. I was prescribed antidepressants by three doctors. Thank you for sharing
@Laura Trombetta what test did you have done to find out you had that gene? I'm assuming you speak of the MTHFR gene??
And if one has that gene is one supposed to just live with the mold toxins inside or is there another way to heal from this?
I started feeling like I was losing my mind, which seems to be literal when it comes fo these things.....it takes over your body and leaves you feeling empty.
I am so sorry that you went through this too. I have this gene too.
This is helpful - thank you. Mold has been discovered in the walls of my workplace and I'm in the early stages of my healing journey. Startling and scary times.
Hi there, I am so sorry that you have had this experience. I have a mold playlist on TH-cam/. I hope that some of the info might be helpful to you as you beging your journey. You've got this!
Thank you very much for the long explanation of how things had transpired for you. Your story is more common than most people believe.
I think it is very common, people just don't know what is actually wrong.
Thank you for sharing. You have a great attitude about a yucky experience. I had so many similar symptoms and found many of the same helpful resources. I now use a sauna, PEMF mat and have the Toxic book. I also changed my drinking water and added an air purifier. And got a Meile HEPA vacuum! I also did Nutritional Genome test and shows I have the gene that I do not detox mold well. I am having some symptoms again after several months of feeling better so have to figure out what I am reacting to but mold can leave behind mycotoxins in your home and clothing, so I have to revisit our cleaning protocol.
Thank you so much, I think that our perspective can make a bug difference!
Thank you for this. Literally, it felt like I was listening to myself talk. I have been suspicious of mold in my home. I am experiencing all of the symptoms!!!!!! Now I don’t feel so crazy. And I am taking steps to find the root of the issue.
I am so glad!
I just made this video about locating a functional doctor or practitioner to help with Mold Toxicity, so many people were asking:) Not everyone is able to deal with this particular issue, so I put together some sources I would use. th-cam.com/video/lo7BdhUuRa0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B4W0iMn7pDle538T
May God bless you with complete healing ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! (Btw, your hair is lovely!)
Oh thank you!
I'm thankful for coming across this video... I went from feeling younger than my age in 2018 and even winning a fitness competition at work, which I've never been fit in my life really, to feeling like I could die any day now, and the way you described your symptoms is almost EXACTLY what I've been trying to describe to people forever now. Even developing sleep apnea of which I've never had before. And doctors have all been but useless to me. They keep trying to prescribe to proton pump inhibitors "oh you're an older guy, it's indigestion". I've even started thinking I have a hiatal hernia at one point maybe from working out and lifting heavy. I will try to find a doctor who I can discuss this with, but I'm like 99.99999999% sure this is what's happening to me now. I need to seriously move...
Oh man, I understand this all too well!

Thank you ! 🥺 I told my mother so many times to check and she said that form of mold wasn’t possible in Colorado because it’s dry ? It didn’t matter and basically almost killed us both until I proved it was mold. She was affected differently so of course I was just having problems I sucked up. Kidney infection, rosacea on my nose, muscles being weak and trembling. Do not take this lightly anyone reading this, it’s so common, and kills the mind body and soul !
That's right, it can happen anywhere. People always say things like....it's dry here (in AZ) so there can't be mold. There most certainly can be, and it is extremely dangerous. I hope you are recovered or are well into the process of healing. Megan
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You have made things more clear for my situation!!!❤❤❤

I just made this for you guys too❤️❤️
I hope it helps:)
OMG!! OMG!! Thank you!
I am literally crying! 3 years I have been exposed to mold. I have been experiencing the same symptoms. My brand new home has mold!
You are welcome (and I am sorry)
This is my life and has been now for over a decade. I was in the best shape of my life - had an amazing summer where I surfed constantly and was getting good and comfortable. At New Years I was exposed to sewage in a backup in my Brooklyn apartment. That was the start of the downhill. First it was parasites that took 4 years to find help with - because - western doctors... and then there was still something I just couldn't shake - three years ago when I bought my first home I learned that I have a severe mold allergy. I'll start a new comment because this one is just me venting and I want to share useful information that I don't want people to miss.
What did u take?
Please follow my friend Healingcavelady on ig. Her info has been so helpful to me in making faster progress.
Oh my goodness! I have all these symptoms and didn't know what was wrong with me - I feel like I am a thousand years old!! The back pain just starting a few weeks ago. Thanks for the info! I need to get out of my home immediately!
I have a whole mold playlist, and I definitely suggest that you watch it for more info. I am so sorry that you are feeling unwell:(

I appreciate you for sharing this because I just had blood work done trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I thought that I had "Shingles" but the Doctor said , "not so". Now I am sure that it is mold, toxic exposure...thanks again for being bold enough to share and help out a lot of folks. ❤
Of course. Many mycotoxins (mold toxins) are also immune suppressants.
What a great explanation!! It's sometimes hard to recount the story. Well done!
Glad you liked it! I really appreciate your support:)
