Introduction: Mold toxins are one of the main reasons that there are so

many mysterious conditions that baffle the medical community. This is a very

important topic and well worth studying. An understanding of this material

can easily double the effectiveness of any practitioner who is not already

helping their clients or patients to remove mold toxins from their bodies

and environments. Mold toxins are neurotoxins – that is, they are toxic to

the nerves. At _http://www.royalrife.com/mold_toxins.pdf_

(http://www.royalrife.com/mold_toxins.pdf) there is a more detailed and more

technical

version of this short article.

Mold exposure: Researchers at Harvard University studied 5000 homes and

found that fully half of them had enough mold toxins in them to cause

symptoms. This situation is similar in most parts of the country. About half of

the people in the USA are living in homes that have enough mold toxins to

make them sick to some degree.

The kinds of houses that have high mold levels are those that have had

water intrusion, those that have basements or are built on a concrete slab, or

those that have attached garages. Concrete that is in contact with dirt

wicks moisture and is a continual source of water vapor. Just ask anyone who

has stored a bag of pre-mix concrete on their garage or basement floor! Any

natural fibers (cellulose) such as wood or sheetrock paper that are

exposed to this moisture will start to make mold spores. There usually is not

enough

mold to damage the building, but there is certainly enough to cause

serious illnesses.

Flat roofs are a very common cause of water intrusion. If a building has

a flat roof and a concrete floor it is probably making people sick.

Almost all cars are very moldy, even those that are only a few weeks old.

We drive them in the rain, open the doors in the rain, open the trunk in

the rain, and so on. If your car has been driven it in the rain, it is

probably moldy.

A car or building does not have to smell musty or have visible mold to be

contaminated. A musty smell is an indication that mold levels are very

high. It is interesting that many who have high levels of mold toxins in their

bodies cannot smell mustiness until after their levels are reduced.

When wood or paper or other natural fibers come in contact with water or

water vapor, molds such as Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Acremonium,

Actiniomycetes, Penicillium and Chaetomium are likely to start colonies. The

colonies

may be visible or they may be hidden in places such as the tops of ceiling

tiles or the bottoms of carpets. The molds send out spores which contain

the powerful toxins.

The genetic aspect: When these spores with their neurotoxins are inhaled,

about 76% of the population have the ability to quickly eliminate them.

They may sneeze or have other minor symptoms, but symptoms are temporary.

They are like a plastic bucket that has

poison drip into it from time to time but they have a small hole in the

bottom of the bucket and the poison leaks out.

About 24% of the population do not have a hole in their bucket. They have

a genetic inheritance that makes them unable to eliminate mold toxins. The

body simply does not tag the toxins as invaders and it does not eliminate

them. The liver can send them to the digestive tract via the bile, but they

are quickly reabsorbed back into the blood. The result is that continual or

repeated exposures to mold toxins results in an ever increasing amount of

these toxins in the body. It is estimated that around 25 million Americans

have some degree of mold toxin illness though it is called MS, Parkinson's,

chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and so on.

These mold toxins attach to fat cells and cause the fat cells to

continually release inflammatory chemicals. The result is chronic inflammation

with

symptoms such as fatigue, pain, brain fog, out of control weight gain and

loss of sex drive. When someone has the flu, symptoms are not caused

directly by the viruses. The symptoms are caused by the resulting inflammatory

response produced by the immune system. Mold toxins can cause symptoms

similar to a permanent case of flu.

An inflammatory reaction is very useful to help deal with an infection. It

is damaging when it goes on and on. An inflammatory response can cause the

body to release even more inflammatory chemicals. It is similar to when you

hold a microphone too close to a speaker. You get this feedback squeal. The

result of this increasing inflammation can be severe pain, blood sugar

problems, nerve damage, reduced circulation, autoimmune diseases, cancer and

symptoms that resemble advanced heart disease. Any exercise can result in a

crash that lasts for days. This inflammation can even result in gluten

intolerance!

Detecting mold toxins: Dr. Shoemaker uses the Visual Contrast

Sensitivity test. The idea is that mold toxins cause reduced ability to see

shades of

gray (or grey if you prefer). You can do this test online. Just do a

search for visual contrast sensitivity.

We prefer to use a version of Autonomic Response Testing using calibrated

vials. This test enables us to produce a score that allows us to monitor

progress. This test can be done from a distance using a saliva sample.

There are inexpensive kits in hardware stores that can be used to test

mold levels in a home or car. We prefer Autonomic Response Testing. This can

also be done from a distance using a sample collected using a damp paper

towel that is allowed to dry in the home or vehicle.

Treatment: An effective material that I have found for mold toxin removal

is plant sterols. One version called Cholestepure has about 450 mg of plant

sterols per capsule. The typical dose is 2 three times a day. You may need

to start with just one a day. There is a peach leaf extract and a thuja

extract that speed up mold toxin removal. Beta Glucan can help.

We have found two ways to speed up mold and Lyme toxin removal. At least

one type of Japanese foot detox patch pulls out mold toxins very quickly

with no apparent adverse effects. We are seeing amazing improvements in as

little as a week.

Also, an " ionic foot detox " setup where the feet are in separate tubs is

very effective and works quickly. A 9 volt battery can power the tubs or

some frequency generators can be used. Please note that the feet must be in

separate tubs with an electrode each side for best results. Here is a case

where both kinds of foot detox were used:

Client KR reported that he had chronic fatigue along with severe joint and

muscle pain. It was thought that he had rheumatoid arthritis and

fibromyalgia for which he took **Prednisone** and **Vicodin** but he still had

severe pain. He also said that his muscles were so weak that he could not even

open a vitamin bottle. It was a major strain just to walk the fifty feet from

his car to my office.

He had very high levels of mold toxins and also Lyme disease. The source

of the mold appeared to be their home and his wife's car. His truck was also

moldy but that did not matter much as he could no longer drive.

KR decided to try to eliminate the toxins from his body with 10 foot detox

patches, just enough for 5 treatments. He did not get supplies to treat

his home or the car.

After five nights of using foot patches, he was feeling much better so he

mowed the church lawn and fertilized it and then mowed the lawn at home.

Quite a change from having a very hard time walking at all!

A few weeks later, his wife called to say that he was in extreme pain and

he had been in the emergency room to get back on the medications again. For

him to stand up at all required great effort. He had run out of the foot

pads and he was still living in a mold contaminated house where he inhaled

mold spores daily.

This time KR decided to use a cold air diffuser and an essential oil

combination called Detox Oil to kill mold in his home and car. For rapid detox

he decided on the foot tub assembly. He would use alligator test leads from

Radio Shack to attach a 9 volt battery to a stainless spoon in each tub.

The positive (+) side went to the tub with the left foot and the negative

side went to the right foot. Each side would have a pinch of Celtic or Real

Salt and 3 inches of warm water. The salt amount should be just enough so the

current could just barely be felt. Treatment time would be 30 minutes a

day.

I called him a week later so see if he had been able to make any progress.

He said that he was symptom free except for slight dizziness left over

from a previous stroke and " I used the treadmill for an hour yesterday and

used it again today. " So in his case, he was able

to get good results in just a week. Twice.

We are finding foot detox with the feet in separate containers works much

faster than

with both feet in the same tub. Any zapper and also certain frequency

generators can also

make the kind of dc electricity that can be used for this. The water does

change color just a bit in the tub with the left foot. The color change

will not be as dramatic as the commercial ionic foot units that have iron and

copper electrodes that dissolve into the water giving it that murky color.

Treatment can be 30-60 minutes or more a day.

If a frequency generator is used, any frequency suitable for detox can be

used. The voltage should be just barely high enough to be felt. High

frequencies cannot be felt at all so most any frequency can be used, but it

should be low enough that it can be felt, around 2000 Hz or below.

IONIC FOOT DETOX SETUP DIAGRAM

Killing mold in cars and buildings: Dr. Close discovered that you

can kill mold with a cold air diffuser and " Thieves " oil or Detox Oil (a

cheaper version). Treat cars for at least 48 hours. Treat a basement or a

garage for up to a week. In general, treat cars and buildings every two weeks.

If the diffuser is running at an effective rate, it will use about ¼ ounce

of oil in 24 hours.

MMS (Sodium Chlorite) and citric acid can also be used. To treat a car,

put about 2 teaspoons of MMS and the same amount of 50% citric acid in a

glass or plastic bowl and leave it in the car overnight. Do not breathe the

fumes. If there is a trunk treat it with another bowl of the mix. Air the car

out before using it. Treat the car every night for a week and then every two

weeks.

To treat a room, use a bowl with 3 teaspoons of MMS and the same amount of

50% citric acid for each 10-12 foot square (100-144 square feet) of space.

For a large room such as

a garage or basement you can use a large glass flat bottom baking dish

with an ounce or more of each. Do not breathe the fumes. Again, it is often

necessary to treat the area every two weeks. To treat a basement, it is

necessary to turn off the furnace if it is there and block off any vents or any

ways that the fumes could escape.

Treating a serious illness such as MS, Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis,

cancer, Lyme disease or even less serious conditions like fibromyalgia

without reducing mold levels will have greatly reduced effectiveness. Mold

toxin buildup is a root cause and it must be dealt with for best long term

success. Of course it may still be necessary to remove other causes like spinal

misalignments, toxic metals, toxic chemicals, infections (including

infections in tooth sockets) and parasites.

This is not a quick fix. This is not like an antibiotic for strep throat:

you get 20 tablets and you take four a day until they are gone and then

forget about it. This is a lifetime of paying attention to where you go and a

lifetime of avoiding placed that are moldy. If you must go, consider

wearing a dust mask to keep out the bigger spores. Do extra detox when you get

home. This is a lifetime of treating garages or basements or rooms built on

slabs. If possible, choose a house with a crawlspace and no attached

garage. Avoid a home on a hillside where water might run down the hill and make

the foundation excessively wet. This is a lifetime of removing mold toxins

from your environment and yourself.

On a positive note, this is a way to avoid crippling and degenerative

conditions. This is a way to enjoy a life that is far superior to what you get

when you medicate symptoms.
