Mold Exposure Diagnosis and Treatment at COEM

DIAGNOSIS OF MOLD DISEASE AND THEIR EXPOSURE

We look for biomarkers of exposure through mold blood testing and sophisticated edge allergy testing to ascertain the sensitivity and type of mold you have been exposed to. Indicators of mold poisoning include a low white blood cell count, reduced lung function, and neurological damage linked to contact with biotoxins. Knowing the type of mold and its effects can determine the treatment for toxic mold syndrome.

WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR BODY?

Every person’s innate immune system is genetically coded differently and functions differently for every individual. Exposure to mold causes a cycle of abnormalities in the inbuilt immune responses of people allergic to mold. In this vicious cycle, the foreign substances remain in the body and result in the immune system constantly fighting back against the mold sickness. This causes excessive inflammation in the body and leads to prolonged illness and allergy symptoms. Your body suffers from your inherent immune system.

LABS WE PROVIDE AT COEM FOR MOLD SICKNESS DIAGNOSIS

To measure the full potential for mold toxicity, we provide the following mold exposure lab tests at COEM:

Labcorp: These are individual mold IgG’s. Most doctors run IgE, but you actually also need to analyze IgG to understand the extent of mold exposure.
Real Time Labs Mold/Mycotoxins: This is the most comprehensive test available and can detect the presence of 15 of the most widespread and poisonous Mycotoxins formed by indoor mold contamination.
Great Plains Labs Tox and Mycotoxin Panels: This comprehensive and affordable test can detect eleven different mycotoxins from 40 distinct mold species in a single urine sample.
Vibrant Wellness Environmental Toxins and Mycotoxins Panels: This mold exposure test uses the most sophisticated mass spectrometry process to measure 39 different indicators to gauge toxins in one urine sample.

LAB TESTING FOR MOLD AT COEM

We provide the following lab testing procedures for mold toxicity at COEM:

Vibrant Wellness Urine Mycotoxin Panel- This mold toxicity test measures the complete toxicity of the mold exposure by using a sophisticated mass spectrometry process to measure 39 different indicators in one urine sample
Complete Thyroid Panel – 7 Item Test- This test evaluates thyroid gland function and can aid in diagnosing thyroid disorders. Certain thyroid disorders are a result of mold toxicity
Mold IgG Antibodies Testing- This is one of the most widely used blood tests for mold exposure and measures the number of specific antibodies in your bloodstream known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which can determine your immune system’s response to mold
Sensitivity Testing – Provocation Neutralization Testing – This is a diagnostic and curative procedure to reveal sensitivity to foods and other agents.
Vibrant Wellness Neural Zoomer Testing – This tool identifies the common autoantibodies connected to neurological autoimmunity and cognitive decline
Immune Markers Testing – These include Anti Thyroid Antibodies and C-Reactive Protein tests to understand the extent of mold sickness.

Based on our mold exposure tests’ results, we develop and monitor customized treatment plans for our patients. These are designed to treat your body to eliminate the mold illness completely and not merely focussed on relieving the symptoms.

If you are suffering from mold illness or are seeking black mold toxicity treatment, schedule an appointment with us for the most effective treatment options.

MOLD AND HUMAN HEALTH

Exposure to toxic mold can cause numerous health problems. After pollen, mold is the leading cause of outdoor airborne allergies. Mold can produce several harmful substances like allergens, irritants, and the most harmful of all, mycotoxins – a potentially toxic substance. Mold and the toxins they secrete (mycotoxins) are increasingly being recognized as a source of illness and wide a range of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, including:

Dr Allan Lieberman, in his paper Explosion of Mold Cases in Homes, Workplaces and Occupational Medicine Practice, examined 48 patients who were heavily exposed to mold and stated that the following problems are caused by mold:

Muscle and joint pain (71%)
Fatigue and weakness (70%)
Neurocognitive dysfunction (67%)
Sinusitis (65%)
Headache (65%)
Gastrointestinal problems (58%)
Shortness of breath (54%)
Anxiety/depression/irritability (54%)
Chest tightness (42%)
Insomnia (40%)
Dizziness (38%)
Numbness/tingling (35%)
Laryngitis (35%)
Tremors (25%)
Heart palpitations (21%)

BEYOND MOLD: OTHER DANGERS FROM WATER DAMAGED BUILDINGS

Nearly 50% of buildings are water damaged and can be a host to many other dangers like bacteria and inflammatory toxins (know as biotoxins).

These organisms can metabolize materials and chemicals that are used in the construction of buildings and change them into new chemicals called inflammogens.

When someone who is genetically susceptible becomes exposed to these toxins, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) can occur. This is the body’s uncontrollable inflammatory response to a toxin it can’t get rid of, causing a flood of inflammatory and hormonal changes.

This condition most frequently happens in the 24% of the population who have the genetic susceptibility (HLA DR/DQ genotype) who can’t detoxify mold well (source: Jill Carnahan, MD).

The physicians at COEM are experts in treating mold related illnesses, including CIRS. If you suspect CIRS or toxic mold exposure as the cause of your health problems, call our doctors today at 843-572-1600.
