Weight Gain/Brain Fog From Mold Exposure

[Guest guest]

I am glad Dr. Schaller posted regarding priorities in sickness. I have

been out of our toxic house for a little over 2 1/2 years and my brain

still isn't totally back to " normal. " I have memory issues, sometimes

serious ones, and other symptoms that periodically reappear. It's then

that I know I must have spent time in an insidiously moldy environment.

CSM is the only thing that works for me.

When I read " Mold Warriors " I could not believe that someone had

written a book which so precisely described the illnesses we had been

fighting (with no help from the doctors we saw) for 4 1/2 years.

Now to the point of this post--weight gain/appetite increase can

definitely be caused by mold exposure as it can cause a rise in Leptin

levels. If I recall it's the result of receptor damage in the brain. My

husband is struggling with a serious weight problem as a result of

exposure. Getting completely away from mold, which is easy to say but

nearly impossible to do, and clearing toxins, are the first steps.

After that there is a medication which can help with Leptin levels.

Hope this helps.
