If I Had to Heal Mold Toxicity in 6 Months, This is What I Would Do in 9 Steps
1. Test my whole body mycotoxin levels with a urine panel. This will tell me what specific toxins are in me and what targeted supports to use to clear them. Test my gut microbiome with a stool test to see if fungal spores are in my GI tract. This will tell me if my body has live colonization or just mold toxin buildup. These test results also give me a baseline to compare my progress in retests.
2. Drink half my weight in ounces of water to keep my cells communicating: 16 oz of spring water upon waking to flush my kidneys of overnight waste, and the rest with a pinch of sea salt, sipping throughout the day to stay hydrated
3. Expand my capacity.
Realistically assess my present capacity level and bring in bandaid non-addictive supplements to lift my mood and energy so I can actually handle the extra work of healing for the next 6 months.
Notify my loved ones and peers that I will be taking on a “second job” for the next 6 months, so they don’t take my reduced availability personally and I can easily say no often.
4. Immediately open my main detox pathways - GI tract & skin: increase and improve my bowel movements to 1-3x daily - the intestines are the #1 route for clearance.
Add insoluble fiber to my diet - this grabs mycotoxins and pulls them out with regular stool release.
Add quality fats into every meals that encourage regular free flowing bile - nuts, avocado, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil are my top recommendations.
Sit and sweat in a sauna or bath and immediately shower afterwards - to clear the mycotoxins that can leave through the skin. Sweating while working out is different, you need to be resting (parasympathetic side of the nervous system) while sweating to have the best clearance
5. Focus on calm - parasympathetic nervous system activation. The more supported, stable, and relaxed my body is, the easier and more efficient it is to release mold spores and their toxins.
I would eat 3-6x a day, small meals to keep my body fueled and out of primal survival state.
I would go to bed at 10 PM every night and stay horizontal in bed until 8 AM to give the body time to regenerate. I would take natural and non-addictive sleep, and HPA supports to deepen and regulate my sleep.
6. Begin binders.
Layer in targeted binders, based on my test results. Slowly titrate these up to manageable doses for my unique capacity. Binder is a term that can include probiotic strains, multiple clays, minerals like zeolite, chlorella/chlorophyll, fibers, and more.
Layer in fungal clearing herb and mineral combos, based on my test results, to kill and remove any live mold colonization in the GI tract.
7. Add support for surrounding organs and address colonization of sinuses and lungs:
Supplements to support organ function, specifically liver and gallbladder for detox, spleen and gut for immune regulation, brain and cells for inflammation mitigation.
If I had chronic sinus congestion or tested positive for a MRSA nasal swab:
I would add in nasal biofilm busters and eradicators morning and night to my personal tolerance level.
If I had trouble breathing/lung colonization - elephant sitting on my chest - I would add in regular mouth/nasal nebulizing with diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide and or iodine, depending on my personal mineral status and capacity.
8. Add in high-tech tools, like weekly hyperbaric oxygen treatment for 60-75 minutes 1-3x weekly and rectal ozone insufflation 1-2x weekly. I would not listen to the practitioners on these and I would instead start very low and slow. I would titrate one at a time or alternating increases, so I don’t overwhelm my body.
9. After 90 days of taking the targeted binders and fungal clearing, I would pause for 2 weeks, then retest my mycotoxin panel and GI stool test to see my progress. If I’ve done it right and I walked the line of staying calm while moving through the discomfort of clearance, I will be clear. If not, then I know my body was holding far more than I knew and I give myself so much grace for all that I’ve been carrying over the years. I either take a break to give myself a moment or I dive back in and reset my supports in response to my results and invest even deeper into the high tech tools to speed up clearance to make my 6-month deadline
If this is you, I see you. I’ve walked this road personally, guided those I love to clear test results, and supported numerous clients over the years with this approach. It’s not an easy road, and it has many body nuances, subtle detox layers, and unique healing challenges that are overwhelming to navigate alone.
