Mold Toxicity, Biotoxins, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
Many people suffer from mold allergies. A few suffer with infections ranging from mild to severe. Countless suffer from mold toxicity without anyone ever considering that mold in their home, their car, or their workplace could be causing the long list of unexplained and unrelenting symptoms.
People with a genetic susceptibility to mold toxins are hurt by a chronic inflammatory response in their immune system as well as many direct toxin effects on hormones, mitochondria, intestinal tract, and other systems. About 1 out of every 4 or 5 individuals have this genetic susceptibility. If they spend too much time exposed to toxin- producing molds, they can become very sick. (genetics pix)
Our mold toxic patients often spent years going from one specialist to the next, asking for help and getting a little help with their symptoms at best. Unless someone knows how to correctly test for mold and to treat it, these patients would continue to suffer for years, unable to address the root problem.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
Functional medicine addresses the whole person with mold toxicity known as the Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome the whole person is chronically ill.
While caring for a multitude of different conditions at Sanctuary , we frequently discover mold toxicity as a root cause in our patient’s illness. Given the frequency and the complexity of the illness, we have developed “Sanctuary Mold Guide: A Primer” for our patients. While our patients with this diagnosis receive the full guide, you can benefit from selections below. We hope this work provides answers you need for your own health restoration.
An online SFM Mold Guide is now available and covers such topics as:
- Personal Introduction
- INTRODUCTION: Mold Toxicity Syndrome and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
- Pediatric Patients and Mold Toxicity
