Mold Toxicity

Prevalence:

Mold toxicity can affect anyone, but certain individuals may be more susceptible due to genetic factors or environmental exposure. It is often overlooked or misdiagnosed because its symptoms mimic other chronic conditions.

Symptoms of Mold Toxicity:

Mold toxicity manifests differently in each person, but common symptoms include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Headaches
• Anxiety and depression
• Brain fog and memory issues
• Chronic sinusitis
• Shortness of breath and air hunger
• Abdominal pain
• Food sensitivities
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Nausea and vomiting
• "Ice pick" pain and internal vibrations
• Numbness and tingling
• Hives and skin rashes
• Frequent urination
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Some patients may also have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), a condition often triggered by mold exposure.

Functional Medicine Approach to Mold Toxicity

Mold toxicity is a complex and multifaceted illness that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment. Under the guidance of Dr. Kirmani, who has trained with leading mold experts Dr. Neil Nathan and Dr. Jill Crista, and as an active member of the International Society of Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI), we approach mold recovery holistically.

Our Approach to Treatment:

• Detox Optimization: Supporting and optimizing your body's natural detox pathways.
• Secondary Issues: Addressing complications caused by mycotoxins, such as mast cell activation, CIRS hormonal imbalances, digestive dysfunction, mast cell activation, limbic system dysfunction, and vagus nerve dysfunction.
• Environmental Control: Ensuring your environment is mold-free is a critical part of the healing process.

Expected Benefits of Treatment

• Increased energy levels
• Enhanced mental clarity, focus, and memory
• Reduced pain and inflammation
