I'm Dr Deb, and today we're diving into one of the most overlooked yet devastating triggers of neurological disease, mold, toxicity, if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with MS or struggling with an unexplained neurological symptom like fatigue, brain fog, numbness, chronic pain, Parkinson's, this episode is for you, so grab your tea or coffee, take a deep breath and let's dive into today's episode of unmasking the hidden dangers of mold toxins in Ms.

You know, MS is often considered an autoimmune disorder, but if I told you that it could be something else, something hidden in our homes, our workplaces and even our food that could be mimicking its symptoms. What would you think about that we mold toxicity is a silent but very powerful trigger for neurological dysfunction, often leading to misdiagnoses and prolonged suffering. Certain molds like Stachybotrys, which most of us know as black mold, we see it crawling up the walls sometimes of an old home if it's had some water damage or isn't sealed properly, Aspergillus and penicillin release potent mycotoxins such as Gliotoxin, aflatoxin, okra toxin and tricot disease. These neurotoxins don't just linger in the air. They penetrate deep into the body, crossing the blood brain barrier, damaging neural tissues and triggering symptoms eerily similar to Ms. There's chronic fatigue, fatigue that's so debilitating you just can't move like

you know, we've we've all talked about the virus that's been around for the last couple of years. And if you've had it, you know what that fatigue feels like, that relentless fatigue that's very similar to what people with MS experience, that cognitive dysfunction and memory issues, muscle weakness and motor impairment, numbness and tingling in the extremities, headaches, dizziness, balance issues, all of these odd symptoms that just don't quite seem to fit a normal picture of something. What's worse, mycotoxins attack the endocrine system, infiltrating the pituitary gland, which controls hormone balance, this disrupts everything from adrenal function, leading to extreme fatigue to thyroid health, causing metabolism dysfunction to our own reproductive hormones being off, impacting fertility, libido, the ability to carry a pregnancy to term. There are so many complications that happen when the endocrine system is disrupted. And unfortunately, a lot of our traditional practitioners out there that are experts in the endocrine system are not experts in the mold toxin world, and so they don't know that what is causing the endocrine disruption. Typically, they know how to fix that part of it and give you medications to balance those hormones, but they don't know how to get to that root cause and really get rid of once and for all the problem that's causing the endocrine system to be disrupted in the first place. Experts like Dr Donald Dennis, Dr Jill Christa, Dr Neil Nathan and Dr Andrew Campbell have long warned about mold toxicities, ability to masquerade as recognized neurological conditions, including Ms. You know, I know firsthand how devastating mold toxicity can be. My journey started when I renovated a riverfront cottage riddled with black mold. And despite doing what I thought was a thorough remediation, I soon found myself experiencing severe headaches, insomnia, rapid weight gain, 25 pounds in two months. I've never had a weight issue. I'm one of the lucky ones that could eat whatever she wanted. I never had a problem. And if I wanted to lose five pounds, I could just start walking, cut back on my diet a little bit, and my five pounds would be off in a couple of weeks after being in this house and disturbing the mold and renovating thi...
