Mold Toxicity
Extensive functional assessment for biotoxin illness and chemical toxicity conditions caused by mold exposure, including CIRS diagnosis.
Biotoxin Illness & Chemical Toxicity
Biotoxins are toxins produced by or derived from microorganisms. The biotoxins involved in biotoxin illness are ionophoric — extremely small molecules capable of moving from cell to cell. They stay nestled in the cell membrane, or the outer layer of the cell.
Only a minute amount of biotoxins is found in the bloodstream. Therefore, a standard blood test will not detect these biotoxins, making diagnosis challenging without specialized testing and clinical expertise.
Key Facts About Biotoxins
Understanding Biotoxin Illness
Common questions about how biotoxins affect the body and why they are so difficult to detect and eliminate.
How are biotoxins transmitted?
Biotoxins can be transmitted through inhalation of mold spores, direct contact with contaminated water or surfaces, ingestion of contaminated food, and exposure to water-damaged buildings. Even brief exposure can trigger illness in genetically susceptible individuals.
Why doesn't the body remove them?
Biotoxins are ionophoric — extremely small molecules capable of moving from cell to cell. They stay nestled in the cell membrane (the outer layer of the cell). Only a minute amount is found in the bloodstream, which is why standard blood tests will not detect them. In genetically susceptible individuals, the immune system cannot properly tag and eliminate these toxins.
What do ionophoric biotoxins do to the body?
Ionophoric biotoxins disrupt cellular communication, trigger chronic inflammatory responses, damage the innate immune system, and can affect virtually every organ system — leading to a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms that are often misdiagnosed.
Is Mold your primary stressor vs. another stressor?
Mold may not always be the primary stressor. Other biotoxins, chemical exposures, or underlying conditions can produce similar symptoms. Our comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether mold is the primary driver or if other factors are contributing to your illness.
Precision Method Approach to Mold Toxicity
Our systematic approach ensures thorough evaluation and targeted management for biotoxin illness.
Comprehensive History Process
Extensive evaluation of your exposure to mold as well as any other health conditions you may be struggling with.
Advanced Lab Testing
Genetics, functional medicine labs, CIRS evaluation, and specific innate immune system biomarkers to confirm the presence of biotoxin illness.
Systematic Management Plan
A clinical course addressing each issue systematically, one by one, to restore and strengthen the body's constitution back into balance.
Precision Medicine Program
Our precision medicine approach combines genomic data with functional medicine to create a highly personalized recovery protocol for biotoxin illness.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
After your comprehensive history, we order an extensive panel of labs to identify the presence and extent of biotoxin illness:
