Mold – infects people as well as homes
When most people think of mold, very few ever think of mold infecting themselves. Yet this is a pervasive issue that is affecting far more people than previously imagined. It is generally understood that mold affects houses and breathing quality. This is of course one vital aspect, but by no means the only aspect that matters. While our breathing quality is usually first to suffer, it is actually the rest of our body that suffers the worst. Our immune system, our digestion, and even our neurological health, all suffer terribly from mold poisoning. In this article we will take a deep dive into the specific detrimental effects, symptoms and also detoxification methods for mold toxicity.
Mycotoxins – the hidden enemy
Mold is a particular type of spore, a sort of viral fungus if you will. Mold spores produce microbial volatile organic compounds, (mVOC) the reason for the musty scent usually associated with black mold. This is only one part of the problem, the larger issue is mold toxicity from mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are the official term for any toxins produced by spores or in this case, mold.
Mycotoxins happen to be particularly nasty because they not only can penetrate our cells, but poison them as well. It may help if you bear in mind this essentially poisons our body at its very core. Cells function similarly to battery sources for our body, what mycotoxins will do is corrupt our battery core if you will. It is hard to overestimate just how problematic this can quickly become.
The subtlety of mycotoxins should not be overlooked either. According to respected organizations such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC), many Americans suffer from mold poisoning without ever realizing it. (The exact number being unspecified) The issue with mold poisoning is that by the time you are able to recognize symptoms, that means that mold has already spread throughout your body. This can make detecting mold poisoning very difficult. That is why recognizing what sort of environments are conducive to mold is so essential.

Symptoms of mold poisoning
If mold poisoning can only be detected by its symptoms, then learning the symptoms becomes essential for our health and well-being. The main symptom to watch for is respiratory problems. If you experience issues such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or dry coughing, the mold poisoning could very well be the culprit.
A more advanced stage of mold poisoning is illness. Prolonged exposure to mold will compromise the immune system. This can manifest itself in a few different ways. It could be prolonged respiratory issues. Or if mold spores continue to proliferate, then your airways could suffer from a fungal infection. Fungal infecting in our airways (throat, nostrils, lungs) are especially difficult to detoxify from, so preventing the issue beforehand would be preferable.
The favored breeding ground for mold
There is no one specific environment that breeds mold, there are however several elements that mold favors more than others. Mold favors a wet, damp environment. This tends to be well known, but it bears repeating. This doesn’t only apply to areas such as flooded out basements, this can also affect any area with recent water damage, areas with high humidity, or simply rooms that never receive any sunlight. Mold cannot survive the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
Equally, mold loves a dark environment. Mold thrives in the darkest and most humid environments. The most important thing to bear in mind that the key here is sunlight, or more specifically UV rays. Ultraviolet radiation (UV rays), is what natural sunlight gives off. This is what causes burns on our skin. Let this sink in for just a moment, appreciate the brilliant complexity behind this. The very aspect of sunlight that burns our skin and cause terrible, painful burns, happens to be the very aspect that burns off the toxicity in mold. Mold is incapable of surviving the UV rays of the sun, so anytime we are able to get into areas with lots of sunlight, we can take a deep breath knowing we are free of mold toxicity.

Weapons against mold
The good news for us is that we are not helpless in the war against mold. Like any fungus, mold has to have a very specific environment type in order to survive. If we understand this simple truth, then we can become empowered to rid our homes and bodies of this pernicious fungus. All it takes is some basic understanding. With some simple tools, and basic knowledge we can enjoy healthier, fuller lives.
Sunlight is our first weapon against the proliferation of mold. Mold cannot exist with sunlight. This is true for virtually any fungus, the UV rays of sunlight, the very same UV rays that give us sunburns, is exactly what kills off mold spores. Mold cannot exists in and of itself, it must have an environment in which it can feed off, without that environment, mold will starve and ultimately die. Think of it as similar to pulling weeds in a garden. If you’ve ever maintained a garden, you might be able to understand the analogy. Pull a weed by its stem, the annoying little plant will crop right back up within a few days. Pull it by the roots, then that will be the end of the invasive little pest.
Another powerful weapon against fitting mold spore proliferation is ozone. Ozone is a major topic amongst environmental activists, the prevailing belief that our atmosphere is experiencing a mass depletion of ozone. Ozone is extremely important for our world and our bodies. Without ozone, our entire atmosphere would fall apart, which would mean disaster for all life on earth.
As terrible as this situation is, there is still hope. Especially in the area of fighting mold toxicity. While we cannot do much about the depletion of ozone in our atmosphere, we can inject ozone into our living spaces. Many retailers now sell ‘ozone generators’. Small, box-like machines that are capable of producing ozone into the airspace. The best part about these small machines is that when ozone is dispersed into our airspace, then it destroys mold spores from proliferating through our airspace.
Ozone is a colorless gas that occurs naturally in our atmosphere. It is often produced as a by-product of lightning, electricity when it charges through the air, produces ozone. Ozone is a powerful gas that kills any and all mold and mildew spores. With an ozone purifier, it becomes possible to purify virtually any airspace, not just from mold spores. If anyone has issues with smelly rooms, whether from smoke or food smells, ozone purifiers are an excellent method to decimate unwanted smells.
Another weapon is fresh air. For the mast majority of people, fresh air is becoming a rarity. So often we spend our days cooped up in office spaces or our homes, without ever experiencing the purity of fresh air. The most powerful weapon against mold proliferation in our homes and bodies is unquestionably fresh air. What happens for so many people is that they are stuck breathing the same moldy air over and over again. Meaning we essentially get poisoned over and over again. Worst of all, nothing is ever done to detoxify our bodies from the toxicity. The simple act of opening our windows automatically gives us a major leg up in defending ourselves from a proliferation of toxicity in the air.

Getting clean with activated charcoal – your body’s version of a reboot!
OK so now we know that mold is a major toxicity issue. That’s not particularly helpful unless there is something we can do to fix the issue. Thankfully for us we can absolutely do something regarding this problem. We can take full advantage of detoxification, purifying our bodies from the poison of mold toxicity.
Whether we realize it or not, we have all been poisoned to some degree. Even if our homes are relatively clear, then we have experienced toxicity from restaurants, stores, schools, or even the homes of other people. The most important thing to remember about mold toxicity is that our liver does not remove mold from our lungs. What ends up happening to us is that mold remains in our bodies, slowly poisoning our body, essentially forever, this highlights our need for detoxification. Through the process of detoxification we can remove the sources of poison from our bodies, and this is what will ultimately allow us to enjoy a healthier and happier life.
The best way to do this is to take advantage of activated charcoal. As wild as this may sound, wood ash is incredibly beneficial for our bodies. What many do not realize is that wood ash can be safely ingested in the form of activated charcoal. Through a purification process, charcoal powder can be placed into capsules, or simply stirred in any liquid for ingestion. This allows us to safely ingest wood ash, or more specifically, activated charcoal.
It is vital to understand that once mold toxicity enters the body, the liver doesn’t filter it out. Instead mold gets into our bloodstream and our lungs, and remains there. Detoxification is absolutely essential in this area. Through detoxification we are able to get rid of all the toxic elements that pollute and poison our bodies. Through the detoxification methods we previously discussed, it now becomes possible to rid our bodies of the continuously poisoning effects of mold in our bodies, and this is exactly what will give us the essential leg up we need for our health. We can’t completely remove ourselves from all toxic elements, but what we can do is to remove the sources of poison in our bodies.

You are not powerless, you can make the choice

We do not have to accept a state of disease, we do not have to accept a poisonous atmosphere. We have the ability to choose a safer, more pure environment. We have the ability to choose life.
