Hi there, Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand.
Thanks for coming back.
We're talking about mold today.
So, we're talking about a five step treatment program, five treatments, basically, on how
you can deal with mold, what you can do with this problem.
So, hopefully you've watched the other videos and you've got a feel for what mold toxicity
has the potential for.
It can ake people very sick.
So number one, the first thing that you have to do, hands down.
If you don't do this, there's nothing else we can help you with.
You've got to remove yourself from the environment.
You've heard me mention that many times in the previous videos.
To work out if the environment's causing your problem or if the environment's not causing
your problem, and the only way you're going to know that is by removing yourself completely
out of that environment and go somewhere else.
Preferably somewhere sunny and dry where you've not got the problem with mold.
So don't even think about the treatment if you can't remove yourself from the environment.
It's like if you're in a bad marriage, don't even think about trying to get rid of all
your headaches and all your aches and pains in your body if you're living with someone
that's treating you really bad.
There's no point in doing that.
If you're a gambler, Las Vegas, don't even think about buying a house.
It's not gonna happen.
So you must do A before you can get to B. I hope you get that point.
You gotta get yourself out of that environment.
That's the first thing you do.
Second thing that you can do is you can start, some people recommend buying this for example,
these could be like clay, or charcoal, or zeolite, or different things to help remove
toxins from the body.
These can work quite effectively but they can enhance the toxification as well.
So you need to treat the biofilms or the mold in the body and on the body, because people
can develop skin problems externally as well as gut problems and immune problems internally
from mold.
So enhancing detoxification and taking things to improve kidney and liver clearance is very
important to do.
Remember if you don't do A, you ain't gonna go to B. You're gonna get your butt out of
that area and then we can look at detoxification and cleansing.
So common locations of colonization, which I mentioned, include things like the lungs,
the vagina, the bladder, the gut, the sinuses, the surface of the skin.
So if you've got problems in these particular areas they may need spot treatment for those
areas.
Overall detoxification will facilitate that cleansing as well.
You may want to do some stool testing to determine for candida, parasites, other genome bacteria,
molds in the body, fungus in the body.
You could be finding anything in the stool.
So it pays to get the core of the body in great shape.
So ask your functional medicine doctor for a comprehensive stool test, including parasitology.
You may even want to extend that into a bit of mold testing on the stool or the urine,
or the saliva.
There are different ways that your doctor can test for mold.
Do them at the same time as a stool test to give you and the practitioner a very good
feel of what the overall picture is, what you're dealing with.
So and then treatment can be tailor made to suit you.
So I think that was number two.
We're going to number three now.
Let's have a look here.
Yeah.
As I mentioned, get rid of these biofilms, but let's go deeper into the pathways in the
detoxification.
We're gonna make a bit of a diet overhaul at the same time.
So that'll be number three, is the diet change.
Make sure that you take allergy stimulating foods out of the diet.
Also, the foods high in sugar and the foods with a high tendency to push candida up in
the body.
So molds love sugars and carbs and starchy foods, alcohols, thrive in those kinds of
things.
So I'm gonna read out a list of different foods here, which will help you as well to
avoid these common micro toxin potential foods.
Peanuts ... Don't worry I haven't got mold.
It's one of my ticks, I cough a little bit sometimes.
One of the common things that people eat are peanuts, and I don't really like peanuts at
all.
I think they're a crappy food when it comes to this problem.
Be careful of grains in general, especially grains, because they can be stored in silos
and attract mold.
This could be wheat, barley, oats, rye.
So if you've got a really big mold problem you'll want to avoid grains for a while, for
several months.
Of course cheeses, soft cheeses, alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, tree nuts, lots of
spices, dried fruits are a big no, no, if you've got a mold problem, especially things
like figs, but you will also want to be careful with coffee, tea, and cinnamon and spices
like that, 'cause they can contain molds.
So just check that out and make sure you carefully check that out before you start taking those
things into your diet.
So that was number three.
Let's look at number four, air filtration.
Have you ever thought about air filtration.
You may want to even invest in some kind of a flow system for your house to push more
fresh air through.
Some people have air ionizers to ionize the air.
Other people have fresh air exchange systems, or special air conditioning units with hepa
filtration, where they filter out molds from the air.
That's another option is to get out of that house, get into a new house, get a good air
system in there and maintain that air flow to really improve your air quality in your
body.
That's number four.
Number five, environment.
We talked about moving house, but now also I always like to talk to people about stress
in their life, about job satisfaction, being in good relationships with people, positive
professional or personal relationships, making sure you've got not adrenal or thyroid issues,
which could really affect your underlying immune response.
Many people with mold have got an immune dysfunction.
So the last thing you want is to have high stress in your diet, which is further gonna
compromise your immune system.
If you're also potentially sick like this, you don't want to push your body to hard in
terms of sports wise, academically, or socially.
You don't want to push yourself too hard folks.
You want to back off and allow your body to relax and build that good system back up again.
You can't do that when you're really highly strung out.
So that gives you a few ideas on my recommendation for the treatment.
One further tip I'd like to add if you do think you've got mold problem is to get some
essential oils.
You can actually fog or mist that into the air, which is going to counter a lot of the
micro toxin responses that your body may be feeling.
There are very good companies, Young Living, I think.
Young Living is the name of a company that make very good essential oils and so do doTerra.
They make very good essential oils.
They also make little gadgets that pump or mist into your environment.
They got special blends there for respiratory.
So they would be good little adjuncts to your treatment as well.
You still put that in there.
Okay purify the air, put some nice smells in there, change your food, look a detection.
So these are a couple of core things that you can do.
If you're seriously sick with mold, you'll need to go to a specialty doctor.
There are different centers in U.S and in Europe where they can really help you if you're
extremely sick.
Some people get so unwell with mold toxicity they need to be in a hospital, but often times
it's completely overlooked by the medical profession, but check it out.
Thanks for tuning in.
I appreciate it.
