8 years of ANXIETY caused by MOLD TOXICITY!

- My story of how I discovered that Mold was the cause of 8 years of Anxiety!
My symptoms were:
Unexplained Anxiety - to the point of freezing up / overwhelming dread and racing thoughts
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Intrusive thoughts
Insomnia
OCD
ADHD
Chemical sensitivity (bleach, diesel, perfume)
Noise sensitivity
Brain fog
Confusion
Irritability
Panic attacks
No drive
Metallic taste in mouth
Rashes
Joint stiffness
Pins and needles
Tinnitus
Vertigo
Blurry vision
Food intolerances
Bloating
Weight gain
Blocked nose
If you have similar symptoms and can't attribute it to anything else, please look into your environment and definitely get an allergy test.
I tried everything from exercise, nutrition, meditation, sleep studies, etc.
Meditation worked for me in the past but due to deep breathing in the mycotoxins, it didn't work this time and actually made my symptoms worse.
My symptoms improved massively since getting away from the mold.
To sum it up, my nervous system was under chronic stress from the toxin so it learnt to be in a constant state of survival so now it's about detoxing and rewiring my brain so it can feel safe again now that I'm out of the environment that was causing my limbic system to be on high alert.

please do make a follow up video, it was actually crazy having these symptoms for so long thinking that i was going crazy, and then reading word for word symptom for symtom exactly the same thing i’m going through gives
me hope
Thank you for this video. My anxiety has been so bad the past 4 years.i moved to a flat in germany and my mental health got so bad. Brain fog like I've never experienced..after watching this video I went to my kitchen and sure enough my sink has been leaking and there is mold everywhere! This could be the cause of my severe anxiety.
Thank you for posting. My daughter was just diagnosed with CIRS and it answered soooo many questions. Suddenly we had a path, but the path is NOT easy. But it’s still a path. Let the healing begin! And may others who need to see this find their path too. ❤
How did u test
Visual contrast test, mycotoxin urinalysis, genie (genetic testing)
What kind of doctor are you working with ?
@@rayshoesmith
Just FYI to others: you don’t need to be allergic to mold to be devastated by mycotoxins.
EXACTLY. Completely disabled by mold at work, completely lost a couple decades of my life to this.
Going through this now.
On top of 12 years of Lyme Disease.
I feel better when I'm not here.
I'm listening to you as I write.
I totally have the exact same symptoms as you are describing.
I have big past traumas, but body 100% healthy.
Now, I am getting huge anxiety and feeling that Flight response.
I do know that my $400 blood test came back off the charts Highly positive for Deoxynivalenol mycotoxin.
I'm completely alone in this and looking for a new place.
When you said a "Fan" did you mean a furnace type of heat blower?
I had the bizarre rashes in the same area you did.
Yes cold damp homes are the worst.
Yes you helped me more than you could know, If I hadn't had a medical background and seeing Lyme Disease literate Naturopaths, who immediately ran that blood test and found the "off the charts" mycotoxin -
I had found a towel under the washing machine and it was covered in black mold that was easily thrown out, I started with nausea and rashes and learned the symptoms of this - I would have been even more terrified.
I'm now stuck in that
"Terrified" situation.
I can't even call my Lyme Literate physicians.
Thanks for sharing your story, it helps me know I'm not alone in this.
I've known so many Lyme Disease patients who had mold.
I never imagined it would be this bad.
Thank you again.
What would you say was your best help was?
@@carolynhamilton9728 I've never heard of that mycotoxin, what mold is it from?
It’s a rough road and most people think it’s all in your head - exercise has been my saviour, passively gets rid of toxins 👍
Thank you for posting. The more people share their story, the others can learn that they too may be suffering from mycotoxins.
I just finally moved out of my boat and no more cold sweats at night. Things got really bad with my anxiety and anxiety attacks, sometimes I didn't have anything to worry about and it still happened. I even got alopecia, but not certain if it was from black mold. The amount I would forget things or just freeze in midthought was very worrying to me. Hopefully now I can start to recover, I know it's still lingering inside me, I was exposed for a very long time, especially the last two years. Still get tired but not always. Just want to add this was the first time in my life I thought about suicide, I was always depressed and would cry just out of nowhere. The exposure was severe because I work from home. Really gets you to question how much of our thoughts are really ours. Great video, thanks.
Just got my urine test confirmed. Yep mold away from the mold for a month and feeling better just starting the detox. Anxiety was thru the roof. Now getting better. Thanks for the video
How are you detoxing I'm gonna order the urine test today where did you get your urine test my life is a living hell
Great plains lab.
Detox with cholestyramine, welchol, sauna and gradual exercise (don't break your anaerobic threshold whilst exercising)
I had the same symptoms as you. Glad you fixed it
Mold can cause vitamin deficiencies in the body. The ones to watch are vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc, coenzyme Q10, and B vitamins. Because of an auto-immune response, the body requires more and more of these vitamins and minerals to function. I think that is what is happening in people and why they become sick from mold.
I have been living in a house that has had mold for at least 6 years now. Paying a lot to get it treated this week. I am hoping that I start to feel better. I have found that magnesium lotion (as well as taking magnesium orally every other day) is helping with my anxiety and mental issues. I was able to manage 7 hours of straight sleep a few nights ago for the first time in years.
@@britanica7539 3 months later, any update ?
@@britanica7539 updates?
I appreciate your video. Just found out that I probably have mold toxicity. It’s been 30 years of miserableness. All those affects that you listed. One you didn’t mention is food and chemical sensitivities are apparently linked. Barely able to eat hardly any foods. Thanks fir posting your video.
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that, it's not an easy thing to deal with and the process of overcoming it can be just as daunting. But I'm happy you have finally found a path that will hopefully get you better and things will get better, since moving I have improved so much. I'm about 90 precent there and can feel how far I've come. I recommended looking at the surviving mold website along with doing a VCS test if you haven't already. As for chemical sensitivity, I listed them in the description. Deodorant, nail polish, diesel, bleach and tea tree oil. The tea tree oil is very good for neutralizing the mycotoxins if you're able to handle it. I had a lot of food sensitivities also, I went gluten free for 12 weeks and did an elimination diet to stop inflammation to help myself heal. I would look into DNRS too, often after our bodies have been exposed to mold for lengthy times, it takes a toll on our limbic system and our nervous system can be set off so easily, so it helps to retrain your mind. But first thing first is, move if possible. Take a sabbatical to a mold free place and see if you improve. Getting into a clean environment is most important. There's a lot of good support groups on Facebook also!
How u got tree tea oil@@tom_quinlan
I’m experiencing all of this now‼️
Thank you for this, glad you feel better, I think this is my son's issue...he's about your age. God bless you!
Devastated that I had to throw most of my stuff away, taking binders, having an air sample done next week.
@@jemezfun9767 so sorry. I am still trying to recover. Praying for all who suffer.
Thank you for sharing this, my ocd go crazy on mold..i also get paralyses
this was super helpful! i hope you’re still moving through your recovery. i landed on your video from reddit. i was wondering if you would be willing to make a video saying more about your ocd-type symptoms? how did you know they were related?
I do plan on making a follow up video, it's hard to get the time but some day! basically had every ocd symptom, but they more or less went away then when I was away from mold I would get relief from them, if I was in the house with mold, it would come all straight back. then as I detoxed more and more, they gradually went fully. some were still residual habits I then had to break as after years, they do become hard wired. It was easier implement an ERP strategy when I was more detoxed, which wouldn't of worked if I was in mold as my nervous system was basically on fire as mold is neurotoxic. I'm great these days and I came from severe ocd. it's 2 years since I started detoxing and would say my anxiety is at near 0 these days (most the time).
@@tom_quinlanthe gut is connected to endocrine system adrenal glands took my friend 5 years to feel better causes high cortisol from adrenal glands above the kidneys it causes high blood sugars too mycotoxins depletes magnesium potassium vit d also effects sodium levels my friend was urinating 15 times a day losing minerals it was terrible to see my mate so Ill and not one Dr new wot was wrong extreme pain rashes fevers shaking the inflammatory response doesn't shut off from endocrine system from the gut adrenal glands it causes ebv as well. Also hair loss forgetting words the list went on its a bad illness this water damaged mold with mycotoxins mold can grow inside of the body and lungs there's the aspergillosis hospital wythenshawe hospital Manchester u have to be referred from your gp or lung specialist it's a serious illness hope u continue to be healthy mate
May want to screened for Lyme disease (Bartonella and Babesia), the mold may have only agitated an underlying infection.
what was the test to see if you are allergic/predisposed? thank you
Does anyone who has been through this know if this purifier is 'good enough' to maybe maintain having a rental at all -GC Multigas Air Purifier - IQAir
I have heds so I have always been vulnerable, but symptoms from living here = unemployed and basically in bed all day, so now it is looking very difficult to rent somewhere else. Plus there is a lot of damaged places out there and it has gotten so expensive even if I am working.
My next plan is to try vehicle living so obviously I am hesitant to leave the comforts and safetys that I have in this damaged rental.
How long after moving untill you starting seeing improvement in your symptoms?
Going through this now, will be or of environment in 3 weeks. Did you take binders to help with detox? Anything else?
I took binders. And sweated lots in a sauna. Plus epson salt baths.
@@christinesnitkin9619 which binders?
I have health anxiety and it’s not fun 😢
hey man wondering any way get contact with ye love ask few questions feel like going thru this
Thank you very much for creating this video, and for sharing your story. It is always brave to open yourself up and to talk about such things. I have been feeling anxiety for quite some time, almost a year now, and while certain things in my life have certainly added to these feelings, I do now believe that mycotoxin buildup is/has been affecting me as well.
Can you detail what exactly you did to detoxify from this?
Hey man thanks for your nice comment. I'm glad you got some value from it. So firstly, I'd get out of mold as soon as possible. Then give yourself time, it took me 8-9 months and I feel like I'm definitely detoxing now. Which is funny cause the first time I unknowingly started to detox and feel better after getting away from mold was 8-9 months too. But even once I moved, I did feel much better. It's a process. You'll start to have more good days than bad and eventually you'll feel better and better. I recommend vitamin D and NAC.. (maybe research the NAC first as I'm not a doctor) they are game changers for me personally as far as my sleeping and anxiety go. Another symptom was I didn't sweat much which is common for people with mold toxicity. So the NAC I feel is helping me sweat more, still not much but progress and saunas as well. Give time time. I feel so much better now, life is really good again and have come so far from where I had been. How are you doing now? Hopefully much better.

Bro are you still in Dublin..have same issues..first start with anxiety and now i have harm ocd.never had that before, realize that my room is full of mold,almost like any other house or apartment in Dublin
Hey man, no not there anymore. yeah, it really impacts your nervous system unfortunately. I really recommend the facebook group Toxic Mold Support Group. Lots of knowledge there for getting free of it and managing it. It will be freeing to know your OCD isn't you, and a by product of the mold symptoms so try your best to dismiss the thoughts as it's your reaction that is fueling them and you're already in a heightened anxious state so it becomes a vicious cycle. My anxiety is at near 0 these days, it's 2 years since I started detoxing and would say I'm in the clear, but really went all out in getting free from the mold. definitely have some residual trauma from it though. All I can say is, It will get better, but it'll be a slow process. be kind to yourself, and make a plan to get out of the mold asap.
Thanks bro..did you make some tests that can show it actually you're suffering from mold toxicity?
Hello! Your comment nearly brought me to tears because over the past couple years I’ve suffered with anxiety, phobias and more recently harm ocd- while I’m naturally an overthinker, I NEVER experienced anxiety to the point of being a disorder and certainly not harm ocd. How are you doing? Have you done anything to detox? I’ve thought of other issues like toxic heavy metals contributing but not mold toxicity. How did you discover the mold?
When you went on vacation, did you feel better right away? Because when I've been on vacation and slept at different places my anxiety has still been there, so I dont think I could have this then.
Yeah I would say so. I sweated out the toxins as I did the Camino. So it helped me feel better then. I'd give it a week or two and see.
Have tried gupta program and dnrs?
Yes, worked great for me. Now I'm using that brain retraining for a different issue.
did your chemical sensitivities clear up? thats my main issue right now for last 2 years. Im detoxing with Holistic MD now.
yeah they really did. I'm fine with diesel now.
How r u feeling n how r u detoxing
What do you take to detox?
Thank you... this is all making sense now...the Slumlords we rent from get richer every day while we live in poverty and suffer from life threatening conditions
How long did you have to be away from the mold to feel better? Was it right away?
So firstly, get out of mold as soon as possible if you can. I felt better from moving, improvement yes, small steps of course. But it takes time, it took me 8-9 months and I feel like I'm definitely detoxing now. Which is funny cause the first time I unknowingly started detoxing and feeling better after getting away from mold was 8-9 months too. But even once I moved, I did feel much better. It's a process. You'll start to have more good days than bad and eventually you'll feel better and better. Now everyone is different, I can't say if you'll have a much quicker time or longer as I don't know. I recommend vitamin D and NAC.. (maybe research the NAC first before taking as I'm not a doctor) they are game changers for me personally as far as my sleeping and anxiety go. Another symptom was I didn't sweat much which is common for people with mold toxicity. So the NAC I feel is helping me sweat more, still not much but definitely more and progress is progress and saunas as well. Give time time. I'm sure there is ways to speed up the process. But go easy on yourself too. I generally feel so much better now, life is really good again and have come so far from where I had been.
Sauna and activated charcoal afterwards. Cholestyramine is a drug that binds well to the toxins too. Eat okra and take okra supplements too.
How did you detox?
It's not hard to diagnose, they make everything hard to diagnose on purpose it seems like.
how is it done?
@@ellemeno0 I have written about mold in a pdf found on my channel (see links). Download this one: Possible causes of EHS.pdf
@@ellemeno0I had a mycotoxin test done (a urine test) under the guidance of a chiropractor believe it or not.
What’s the solution just binders
How cam i get tested
I wish my family could trust me on this they left me
I have the same problem I just find out I have mold
Stay strong dude. Your body will heal over time once you practice mold avoidance.
The landlord and the courts failed us, it is designed that way from my experience! I am also sufferings I believe there is more going on!!😡
Mopd mad me blood pressure go up
Rmr-86 kills mold instantly and rmr-141 kills the spores after, you need gloves and over all and teperator tgen spray it all down, it like cleans its self no scrubing it like disappears itnis weird. But that said girlfriend might have this. Is it just avoidence and vitamins or is yge a medication or something?
Careful. if it's chemicals, I wouldn't use them. most chemicals cause a reaction and the Mold will throw out mycotoxins even more aggressively as a defence mechanism and it'll sink further back into the wall to protect itself. what I've heard is to use dawn dish soap, as the texture will grab the toxins up and it's chemical free. not sure if that applies to all dish soap.
Bleach is the absolute worst so don't use that.
Often times as well, people who have mold toxicity have a chemical sensitivity so it's like fuel to a fire.
I detoxed naturally over time, saunas helped, vitamin D, and NAC helped the most. Avoidance is the best method.
@@tom_quinlan NAC?
@@kgp4death google it. it's a supplement to help your liver detox.
Did you start getting allergy shots from the allergist for mold?
That does not work with mold.
No I didn't go that route.
Did you fix it
Thanks for the video. I've been dealing with everything you listed. We do have water damage and mold now confirmed through testing...not sure what to do now. Would it be possible to converse with you through email?
Sure thing dude. Have you Instagram? DM me. @howsyertaypot
Thanks for the video. I am one of those long time sufferers. Over 30 years. Now also have really bad food and chemical sensitivities. Barely able to eat much foods. Thanks for posting.
@@tom_quinlan have all the symptoms you listed gotten better since moving?
@@tsmccullough much improved. Really starting to detox now after 8-9 months of mold avoidance. You can read comments below that I replied to earlier of what I did to detox.
The Bible even talks about mold Leviticus 14:33-53
Hi, thank you so much for posting this. I send you a DM on insta. I hope thats okay 🙏
