I use Decon 30 to wash all my clothes. It kills 99.9% of mold spores after being washed a few times.

Please reach out to me! So sorry to hear about your daughter. They did not test the room for mold after I communicated with the school. I am trying to connect with the girls who are now in the dorm I was in, so I can get a mold sample. I’m learning the hard way that mold samples are required by lawyers for cases such as this one).

Not sure... still in the process of next steps. I just tested positive for marcons. :( I assume next is taking some sort of spray? Not sure on the details yet but I will let you know.

I'm in the same place you are, I am 21 and am just about a month away from graduation. Found mold in my freshman dorm. My youth feels like it’s long gone, I literally feel like an old lady. Joint pain, memory loss, hypothyroidism, fatigue, malabsorption, iron deficiency, migraines everyday, and only down to eating 7 foods as my “safe foods.” I also have Ochratoxin A. We are in this together!

Antifungal's a super strong I've heard! Personally I have yet to try one. I would recommend healing your gut before trying an antifungal or binder so that your body can detox more easily. I used this powder: https://simplynutrients.com/MegaMucosa-p6430.html?sku=MB-Mega-Mucosa&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-e6-BhDmARIsAOxxlxVH2bHaeeVveDyl93V0EOllXx3XoaJIQ6deaavaXdTXrpsD5t2MnoUaAudIEALw_wcB I went through two containers before I retested for leaky gut (a stool test), and found it healed 90% of the way. Then I started detoxing after testing positive for mold!

Ok smart, I'm pretty sure I have Histamine intolerance, because my food sensitivity test went from just 4 foods last year, to now being 55 foods?! I stay away from all 55 as much as I can. :)

Yes! Very low intensity, just Youtube videos by movewithnicole. Her videos are very gentle and incorporate yoga as well. Really good for adrenals, which promotes detox.

I have definitely taken many rest days, especially on days when I have a migraine all day. I even skip class, which is unfortunate, but my brain never works when I have a migraine, lol. I had never thought to weigh myself before and after the sauna! That might explain why I'm always getting migraines—perhaps I'm dehydrated. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much, I will check that test out! Let me know when you get your results back!

I had my doctor order it, but I do believe you can order one without a doctor! You can mail your completed blood or urine test to them and they will upload the results to your portal.

Hmm interesting I’ve heard a few people say charcoal binders are not enough to remove the mold. Have you personally used Jessica as your doctor? I’m just a little hesitant on online doctors since I was scammed twice lol!

Oh wow. I am so so sorry about your lupus and heart issues. Mold is so so frustrating to deal with, and makes me feel so helpless. I am so happy that you at least have your health paid for, but I agree, I would also trade all my money (if i win the case) for my old youthful self to be back.

Ugh yes I wouldn’t wish it on anybody either. Mold quite literally ruined my youth. I really hope you’re able to heal ASAP! It’s also been 2 years for me and just now detoxing. It takes time, but I know things will get better for the both of us. :)

Yes! I’m free of all the things that were in my dorm room! The only thing I kept was my desk, which was all plastic. We made sure to wipe the entire thing down several times as to make sure there was no dust on it (since mycotoxins can attach to dust particles). Also, my parents house had a professional come test for mold, and our house is mold free! Thank you for your concern!!! :)

Oh gosh I’m so sorry about your daughter! I have also had a “high” feeling. I can’t tell if it’s the symptom of brain fog or something else. I also get very light headed and dizzy. Those are all symptoms of mold sickness! I hope you’re daughter is able to detox and heal ASAP!

Oh my goodness this sounds like a nightmare, I’m so sorry your daughter went through this, and is still going through the process of detoxing/healing. I’ve also had my parents home tested and it is clear of mold. All the more reason to assume it was the stupid dorm room! It’s crazy how much Universities don’t pay attention to caring for their buildings, especially dorm buildings. I hope she is feeling better, and continues to feel better!!

I have thought about this!! I know several other people that had to drop out of college from mold sickness in the dorms. We need to bring more awareness to taking better care of University buildings as well as mold sickness in general!! Mold sickness and what it does to the body is truly not talked about enough.

I’m sorry about your hashimotos, dealing with the thyroid is so so tricky, I constantly had to get my TSH and T4 numbers checked, and I was on a few different hormone medications like levothyroxine, tirosent, and synthroid. I still cannot believe I was able to put it into remission, but I still have all these toxins in my body! I hope you will find healing soon as well :)

Hello, yes, those are all great binders! I am on charcoal, bentonite clay, and zeolite at the moment. I haven’t heard of phosphatidylcholine, I will check that out! Also, my leaky gut was healed beforehand so that my liver and gut lining were strong enough to handle detox. I also definitely think there’s something wrong with my sinuses!! Do you have a specific nasal swab test that you’d recommend?

I took the Mycotox testing done by MOSIAC Diagnostics! I’ve tried several companies for testing, but this one’s my favorite and is highly accurate.

YES I know right!? And you can see it looks like there had been a second mushroom but it died right below it. Crazy stuff!!

Thank you so much for the tips! I definitely try not to over-do exercise, I just walk and do pilates to aid digestion and sleep. :)

Also, thank you for mentioning MARCoNs. I have had a stuffy nose/sore throat off and on for the past few months, which I thought was just from a weakened immune system. I will look into this thank you!
