When needed she can be supportive of your treatment plan with your primary care physician. Key element includes:
Identifying Mold Exposure
The first step involves testing and assessing the environment for mold and mycotoxins, followed by removing the source of exposure or relocating to a mold-free environment.
Detoxification
A combination of binders (such as activated charcoal, chlorella, or clay) is used to help the body eliminate mycotoxins. Sauna therapy, liver support, and hydration also aid detoxification.
Gut and Immune System Support
Healing the gut is essential, as mold toxins often disrupt the digestive system. A focus on gut-restoring diets, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory foods helps repair damage. Additionally, immune-supporting nutrients and supplements are used to calm the immune response.
Functional Medicine Testing
Advanced testing, including markers for inflammation, mold toxins, and immune system imbalances, is used to identify the full impact of mold on the body.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Stress management, proper sleep, and low-toxin living are emphasized to support recovery and minimize further inflammation.
Addressing Related Conditions
Holistic treatment may also address secondary conditions like hormone imbalances, adrenal fatigue, or neurological symptoms often associated with CIRS.
