Mold Q&A

Q: What are your recommendations for people living in moldy homes in Italy, especially if they have high cholesterol and are being treated with statins?
A: For high cholesterol, I recommend Jerusalem artichoke, Citrus Bergamot, Noni berries, and Berberine. Statins can cause muscle pain and block Coenzyme Q10, essential for mitochondria.

Q: Can mold cause sinus issues?
A: Yes, mold and candida can colonize the sinuses. Nasal rinses like Navaj can help. If sinus issues persist, it might be due to a congested liver connected to sinus cavities in Chinese medicine.

Q: Is there a test for mold susceptibility?
A: Yes, genetic tests can determine susceptibility. People with HLA-DR may need more effort in detoxing and managing exposure.

Q: How do you address Phase 2 liver detoxification issues caused by mold?
A: Amino Detox by Designs for Health is useful for preparing the liver for Phase 2 detoxification without upregulating Phase 1, which can produce more toxic byproducts.

Q: What is the best way to manage mold inside walls and off-gas new furniture and cars?
A: Mold inside walls needs to be cut out, especially if it involves porous materials. To off-gas new furniture and cars, ensure good ventilation and use air purifiers.
