I also went to school in a moldy building like ten years ago which may have primed my immune system to react so harshly.

What binders are you taking for the mold? Cholestyramine seems to be the gold standard but i probably won’t be able to get it where I live as there’s no Shoemaker trained docs in Europe. Lots of really depressing stories in the mold exposure communities so I try to avoid them.

I’m gonna start a water fast next week to hopefully get the poison out of my body. Gonna go for as long as I can. I’m hoping a long fast will cure this mold stuff, I’ve basically felt like I have a severe flu for over a month straight. If the cause of these symptoms is the build up of mold toxins in the body then in theory a long water fast should resolve it. Hopefully I’m not being too naive. We will see.
I highly recommend going the more Dr. Brewer/ Dr. Nathan route rather than Shoemaker. I saw a Shoemaker doctor for awhile- wasn't exactly for mold, I had cyanobacteria in my gut so was treating that. But still we were looking for mold and we didn't have any indications of it.

Finally got second opinion from a doctor that follows more Nathan/ Brewer and doesn't really like Shoemaker. This is how we found this crazy elevation of gliotoxin amongst minor elevations in 3 other mycotoxins.

I recommend the Realtime mycotoxins test. Its hefty the first time you did it nearly $400 but retests are $250. Pretty sure you can do this test without a doctor as well which is nice. With this test you can really weight in on the exact mycotoxin, type of mold you have. My mycotoxins basically say NO cholestyramine. I'm using s. boullardi, NAC, ecklonia cava (for glyphosate), and will be adding bentonite clay and propolmannan pretty soon.

I'm just pissed at myself. I knew I was exposed in as early as March 2019. Been chasing my tail for 2.5 years now. Nutritional balancing, fasting etc etc.. I had some decent time periods where I've moved forward. But specifically this last month (post ozone) I thought I was dying at times. I literally think I just got saved by a diagnosis for second time in my life (Lyme in 2017.)

I've learned a lot this week. This seems beatable.
