Is Mold making you Sick?

Have you been feeling sick and the doctors keep telling you that you are fine? Have they told you it is in your head? Do you feel like you have lost your personality? Could you be reacting to mold or have Lyme disease?

If you had told me 6 years ago that all my ailments stemmed from mold and Lyme disease I would have been skeptical. I grew up on a farm, I worked on a farm, I had been around mold my whole life and I didn’t think it bothered me. Wrong.

The tricky thing about diagnosing mold is the fact that the symptoms mimic so many other ailments that it is often misdiagnosed.

Sometimes mold and Lyme disease are wrongly diagnosed as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, depression and Alzheimer’s disease.

Doctors are not as familiar with toxic mold poisoning and often do not think to check for it. Instead they treat the symptoms and never address the true issue. They help you function by giving you medications but they never heal you, they never fix what is making you sick.

Toxic mold disease and Lyme disease go hand in hand. My doctor told me that almost every patient he has seen with one, also has the other. It is hard to tell which disease someone contracted first but one will weaken your immune system and allow the other to come in.

They act in a similar manner and use the same defensive techniques which I will address in other posts. They both release mycotoxins into your body. These mycotoxins are what you are reacting too. They are what make you sick.

You can breathe in mold spores or they can be absorbed through skin contact. Mold is a living organism. Once it gets inside your body, it will feed off of you like the parasite it is, killing you in the process. Mold and Lyme will spread across your body and will attack any body system. You will not get better unless you kill it.
