Mold Toxicity

Biotoxin-producing microorganisms or biotoxins from such organisms can enter the human body through the following routes: inhalation, ingestion, and/or animal bites, such as from specific spiders or ticks.

Normally, biotoxins are removed by antibodies formed in the human body. The body is able to excrete the biotoxins out of the body via the stool once they are bound to antibodies.

Most people are able to produce these antibodies and will therefore not develop biotoxin illness. However, some people are genetically unable to form the antibodies against specific biotoxins. Without antibodies, the body is unable to excrete these biotoxins and they adversely impact the body.

Biotoxins can cause CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), a form of biotoxin illness caused by exposure to the interior of water-damaged buildings.

Biotoxin-producing microorganisms or biotoxins from such organisms can enter the human body through the following routes: inhalation, ingestion, and/or animal bites, such as from specific spiders or ticks.

At Natural Balance, we take an extremely comprehensive approach in evaluating biotoxin illness. The appeal of this program lies in our team's all-out effort to find the root cause answers to your symptoms through a precision medicine approach. We determine if inflammation resulting from mold exposure is the primary cause vs. being a secondary stressor to a more complex underlying issue.

For some patients exposed to mold, the exposure is the "straw that broke the camel's back" so to speak. For other patients, if mold exposure proves to be a primary stressor because of who they are genetically, we will then refer you to a mold specialist for further evaluation and treatment. Clinically,  we have found that in most cases, patients do very well with our precision medicine approach.
