Is Mould/ Mold stopping you healing?

Mould ( in the UK) , also known as Mold in the USA ,  is a categorised by the UK 2004 Government Housing Act Report , 'Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS)' (ref 1) as a hazard to health, amongst other health hazards such as asbestos and carbon monoxide 

It's not the mould you can see that’s a problem, it’s the dead and airborne mould, bacteria and other “invisible” contaminated fragments & mycotoxins that you inhale which are considered the greatest health hazard.

The tiny spores can pass through the blood brain barrier cause metabolic chaos. Symptoms include – fatigue, brain fog and headaches. Increased sensitivity/ allergies

An estimated 25% of western populations have a mutation in he HLA gene that means they can’t easily eliminate mould once its in your body 

There are various lab tests that cost £250-£700 to determine mycotoxins ( mould spores) in your body.

However the Visual Contrast Sensitivity test ( VCS)  is a an affordable proxy, for biotoxin accumulation developed by Dr Ritchie Shoemaker. This is because biotoxins accumulate in the optic nerve and impair visual contrast ( black/ grey on white)

The VCS has low false positives ( around 98%) , high false negatives (around 10%)

Biotoxin removal under the guidance of Marek Doyle gave  me a significant step change in my ME/ CFS recovery

Below are my VCS test results.  Initially in 2017 where you can see my results ( red line) are considerable below the healthy populations response ( grey line).  I was exposed to mould as a child and remember it growing on the walls.

We used a fat cycling ketogenic protocol to mobilise  the toxins stored in the fat cells, followed by natural binders to pull the biotoxins out and allow elimination from my body.

In 2018, though still not a perfect trace, I felt substantially better with massive shift in my brain fog and general resilience to life

It took until 2019 to get full clearance, where now brain fog is happily a thing of the past

The VCS test is a great screen for biotoxin mould/ mould accumulation. If you are interested in testing them please contact me.
