HOW does functional medicine for mold toxicity work?
Functional medicine employs specific tests to identify mycotoxin exposure, assess detoxification pathways, and guide treatment decisions. Urine mycotoxin testing provides insights into recent and chronic mycotoxin exposure. Additionally, comprehensive assessments of detoxification pathways, liver and kidney function, stool tests, and genetic panels help evaluate the body's ability to eliminate toxins.
Functional Medicine Treatment Protocol:
Treating mold toxicity involves eliminating mycotoxin exposure, preventing mold regrowth, and supporting mycotoxin elimination from the body. Mold removal is a critical aspect of the treatment, addressing both the source (faucet) and the body's detox pathways (drain). The protocol includes dietary and supplemental interventions.
key Steps to healing
Identifying and removing the source of mold in homes or workplaces is essential. Professional mold remediation, adhering to guidelines from organizations like the EPA, CDC, and AIHA, is recommended. Prevention involves controlling humidity levels, promptly fixing leaks, and ensuring proper ventilation.
It's important to Implement an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, unsaturated fats and whole grains. We also need to eliminate or reduce mold-prone foods like coffee, dried fruit, rice, nuts, alcohol, processed meats and corn.
Activated Charcoal: acts a binder in the gut to absorb mycotoxins and prevent their reabsorption.
Glutathione: Supports liver detoxification and counteracts oxidative stress caused by mycotoxin exposure.
Detoxification Factors™: A comprehensive formula supporting general nutritional needs and liver detoxification pathways.
After a minimum of three months of detoxification therapy, retesting urine mycotoxins is crucial to monitor treatment progress and confirm successful mold removal.
In summary, toxic molds and mycotoxins are recognized contributors to chronic illnesses, and a functional medicine approach aims to identify, treat, and prevent mold-related health issues through targeted testing, personalized treatment plans, and comprehensive interventions.
