MOLD TOXICITY
(Most people have it, they just don’t know it!)
Background on Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain molds (fungi). They are primarily found in food or structures such as water-damaged homes and buildings.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), approximately 25% of the world’s agricultural products are contaminated with mycotoxins, and this contamination could occur before harvest, during the process of harvest, and even after harvest during storage.
Mycotoxin-producing molds grow on food like cereals (corn, sorghum, wheat, and rice), oilseeds (soybean, peanut, sunflower, and cotton seeds), spices (chili peppers, black pepper, coriander, turmeric, and ginger), and tree nuts (pistachio, almond, walnut, coconut and Brazil nut).
Hundreds of mycotoxins have been identified, with aflatoxins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, fumonisins, and patulin being among the most common.
Some of these have also been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as carcinogenic.

Mycotoxins Symptoms
Mycotoxins affect virtually every system in the body including:
- Extreme fatigue
- Weakness
- Headaches
- Light sensitivity
- Brain fog
- Insomnia
- Morning stiffness and joint pain
- Tingling or numbness
- Shortness of breath
- Chronic cough or sinus congestion
- Sugar cravings
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Vertigo
- Static shocks,
- Digestive issues – gas, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, or constipation
- Blurred vision or red eyes
- Balance issues
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Skin rashes
- Urinary incontinence
- Decrease libido
- Frequent infections
Particularly in regard to neurocognitive symptoms, research has shown that mycotoxin exposure can suppress and impair the functioning of glial cells, which protect the nerves and brain from damage. Other neurological issues that can result from mycotoxin exposure include depression, movement disorders, dementia, and imbalance.
Our Approach
Mold toxicity is one of the major toxicity conditions we see at Advanced Integrated Health.
Since medicine’s understanding of mold-related illnesses is still in its infancy, mycotoxins are not commonly tested for in conventional medicine practices and that’s why we place such an importance on it. At AIH, we order urine tests through the most sophisticated lab in the world to check for mycotoxins.
Once mycotoxins are identified, we take the patient along with our DETOX protocol which includes WHOLE FOOD CONCENTRATES/SUPPLEMENTS and lifestyle changes to clear mycotoxin build up and reset your body.
Taking you from Nutritional Deficiency to Nutritional Sufficiency and from Cellular Toxicity to Cellular Purity is the natural, superior way to support your MOLD/MYCOTOXIN symptoms.
This is the HOPE of Functional Medicine and the PROMISE of The Roadmap To Health!
