Patty's Mold Recovery Story

For many of us, mold toxicity is the last thing on our personal list of diagnoses. We grapple with unexplained symptoms for weeks, months, even years until we discover the “silent killer” lurking in our own homes. This is exactly the case for Patty Howe, one of my patients.

For years, Patty sought answers for her unexplained mouth burning, brain fog, bile reflux and fatigue. She visited many doctors, tried different medications and even attempted psychotherapy, but none of these treatment plans were successful. Still struggling with her symptoms, she decided to try something new—functional medicine. That’s when I consulted with Patty and started to suspect mold toxicity. 

Suspicions were confirmed when Patty’s blood tests reported high levels of mold, and brain scans revealed some damage as a result of prolonged mold exposure.

It was time for a thorough detox. 

She started by changing her environment, eliminating toxic household products, exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet. 

With healthy habits and a clean environment, she then introduced techniques and supplements like sauna therapy, coffee enemas, dry brushing, prism glasses, caster oil, Pure PC, and more. 

Find out how these methods tackled Patty’s symptoms and drastically improved her lifestyle in the video above.
